Nan Qiaoshuang, a modern history graduate student who always stands out, touches a piece of ancient jade and transmigrates to the Great Yin dynasty. She wakes up with only half a bag of potato chips to keep her alive, then gets dragged in to serve as a sacrificial substitute tutor.
The original tutor fled, and all three of his predecessors died horribly at the hands of Zhan Beiting, the ruthless regent known as the “Living Yama.” Forced to disguise herself as a man, she takes the name Lin Weizhi and nervously starts the job.
Their first meeting is a disaster. Potato chip crumbs scatter across the imperial desk, she stumbles through a bow, and foolishly asks, “Have you eaten, Your Highness?” Zhan Beiting gives her a cold look and says, “You have three days. If you can’t do it, you die.”
Who would have thought Nan Qiaoshuang could defy fate with the help of nine years of compulsory education? She uses psychology to explain the Spring and Autumn Annals, pie charts to teach taxation, and baking soda and vinegar to stage a “volcanic eruption.” The entire court falls to its knees in admiration, and the regent’s gaze shifts from murderous intent to an obsession he can no longer hide.
No one knows that this brilliant tutor is actually timid as a mouse. She’s afraid of the dark, pain, and death, and can barely hold a writing brush.
Even fewer know that Zhan Beiting saw through her disguise long ago, but deliberately played along, watching her panic and fumble as he slowly ensnared her and kept her by his side.
“Whether you’re a man or a woman, I’m claiming you.”
When her identity is exposed, she is thrown into the imperial prison to await death. She thinks he has abandoned her, unaware that he stands outside her cell every night, eyes red as he murmurs, “She’s afraid of the dark. She’ll be scared all alone.”
In the end, he fights his way through the prison and holds her tight, covered in blood. “I’m here to take you home. You won’t get away from me in this life or the next.”
From a tutor struggling to stay alive to the founder of women’s education, she uses modern knowledge to rewrite her era. From a cold-faced regent to a doting husband, he devotes his life to protecting her with an all-consuming love.
