Sky Screen: I'm a University Professor, Taking Baoqing on a Tour of the Modern World

Ning Chuan thought the May Day holiday would be spent at home cuddling his cat.

Then, out of nowhere, a seven-year-old girl in a pale yellow robe appeared on his sofa.

Rubbing her eyes, she spotted the Maine Coon and shrank behind the sofa in fright. “A tiger! There’s a big tiger!”

She knew her imperial father was gone. Her little mouth quivered and tears welled in her eyes, but she still managed a smile.

“It’s okay! Mingyue has her imperial brother and sister-in-law!”

The first time she touched the general’s belly fur, her eyes sparkled like stars. “So soft, so soft, so soft!”

She asked timidly, “Brother Ning Chuan… will you send Mingyue away?”

Ning Chuan patted her little topknot. “No. I promise.”

And on the sky screen above, emperors from every dynasty watched it all.

Zhu Di clenched his fists, his eyes red. There was nothing he could do.

Empress Xu choked back a sob. “That young man… is a good person.”

Empress Zhangsun of Li Shimin wiped the corner of her eye. “This child is just like our Jizi.”

A meeting spanning six hundred years.

A university lecturer, a princess of the Ming dynasty, and a Maine Coon.

No System, no golden finger.

Only the simplest, tenderest love of a brother for his little sister.

And that tenderness moved all the realms of every dynasty.
