    Reader note

    In this era of intense competition, even time travel has reached new heights of complexity. Xu Wan, a modern soul who originally wanted to relax and enjoy the life of a widow, is forced to launch a "problem child reformation project" in the Marquis's mansion. This is hardly the leisurely daily life of a Marquis's wife; it's clearly an educational legend disguised in ancient costume. The most brilliant aspect of this work lies in its lighthearted and humorous touch, revealing a profound theme: there are no unteachable children, only teachers who don't know how to teach. As the Marquis's elite class becomes renowned throughout the capital, and "problem children" flock to it, Xu Wan proves with her abilities that education is not about taming, but about awakening. In this era still rife with "tiger moms and wolf dads," perhaps what we need is not more tutoring classes, but more educators like Xu Wan who know how to listen and understand. After all, every child deserves to be treated gently, and every soul deserves the opportunity to blossom.
