In her previous life, she was empress of the Great Qi, ruling the inner court for sixteen years before ending her life with a cup of poisoned wine.
When she opens her eyes again, she’s a counselor at Jiangzhou Teachers College.
Four classes and more than two hundred students: failing grades, breakups, online loan debt, depression. Every one of them is a “major worry” for her.
Her Majesty the Empress declares, “I managed the entire imperial harem without breaking a sweat. How hard can it be to handle a bunch of brats?”
And so...
A student gets trapped by a predatory online loan? She pulls out the Great Qi Legal Code and uses its “illegal lending” logic to argue the lender into issuing a refund.
A dorm-room dispute? She brings out the “Harem Management Regulations,” assigning beds more fairly than drawing lots to spend the night with the emperor.
A student gets caught cheating on an exam? She smiles faintly. “Had I dared to cheat back then, I’d have been dragged out through the Meridian Gate.”
Soon, the faculty and students discover that their new counselor is unconventional, skilled at getting things done, and always has a point.
The one surprise is Dr. Shen, who’s always at the hospital.
He speaks softly and handles everything flawlessly. He’s just like... someone she once knew.
This is a story about “two outstanding professional women from ancient times getting a second life in the modern world.”
The author's writing style is excellent. This is a novel that can be read with a calm heart. There are no bloody plots or cheating, just a long-lasting love accumulated from the little things in work and life. Recommended reading~
Very beautiful, the writing is very delicate, I like it 🥰
