[Modern Teacher-Training Student vs. Ancient Prince]
"Other people transmigrate and become empresses or princess consorts. When it’s my turn, I open my eyes and get dragged off by a brothel madam to be the top courtesan!"
Shen Qing stared at her face, painted like a color palette, in the bronze mirror. Someone had even shoved an eyebrow pencil into her hand. She nearly had a heart attack on the spot. "Did Heaven get this wrong? I’m a teacher-training student, not a vocal performance major!"
The brothel madam pinched her chin and laughed. "With a voice and a face like yours, it’d be a shame not to make you the top courtesan!"
Shen Qing climbed out the window and ran that very night. Thanks for the offer, but teaching is what I’m good at. When it comes to the arts, I’m lying flat!
After finally finding an academy where she could apply for a job, she thumped her chest and promised, "I can teach students to become top scholars!"
On the day the imperial exam results were posted, the entire capital went wild. Eight out of every ten candidates who passed this year were students of Teacher Shen! And even stranger, the exam questions matched the key topics Teacher Shen had highlighted beforehand!
The Crown Prince declared, "Predicting the questions is nothing. The real skill is keeping talent around!"
