From Kindergarten Teacher to the Imperial Academy

* Sometimes a one-on-one pairing, often only for a phase.

* Everyone is into the protagonist: an irresistible heartthrob, an overwhelming dose of melodrama, a mishmash of kinks, and mutual pursuit.

* The blurb mentions only students at the Imperial College, but there are more than that.

On her way home from work, Shen Weiming encounters a truck that seems to have been sent to make people transmigrate. She is forced to transmigrate to the Dayong Dynasty and becomes the youngest assistant instructor at the Imperial College.

The legendary golden age of Dayong, celebrated in the history books, was dazzling and filled with music and revelry. Countless historians dreamed of seeing it for themselves, but Shen Weiming has no interest in the experience.

Because she was thrown in jail as soon as she arrived!

The charge is horrifying: lesbian tendencies and corrupting the academy.

The original owner, an ignorant good-for-nothing, not only liked women, but had also set her sights on her own students!

The noble daughters have jointly submitted a petition, pleading their case in blood and tears and swearing to physically nail this "disgrace to respectable society" to the pillar of shame.

Brutal instruments of torture are ready. Once the time comes, she will be ruined and left a bloody mess.

Shen Weiming could have spat up three pints of blood from sheer rage.

And she actually did. Great, she was a sickly invalid, too.

Going from a modern kindergarten teacher to an assistant instructor at the Imperial College of the Dayong Dynasty is a leap as vast as heaven and earth.

But some things never change: she is still looking after "children," and she can handle that!

Drawing on her past life's experience, Shen Weiming really does claw her way out of a dead end and get her old job back.

To clear her name as a sexual harasser, she makes her innocence clear and takes care in everything she does.

She keeps her distance in class; holds tutoring sessions with the door open; and never meets students in private on days off.

Shen Weiming has a cool, elegant beauty, like moonlight on snow, but the original owner's scandalous reputation is too notorious.

The noble daughters look on coldly, waiting to see when she will shed her respectable facade.

But instead of seeing her reveal her true nature, they watch the pale, beautiful invalid write neat notes on the board and explain things with the gentleness of a spring breeze. Nothing about it seems fake.

First they are confused, then curious, and finally... unable to look away.

Later, the empress sits securely on the throne, and the empire flourishes.

The gloomy daughter of a poor family who once led the petition becomes a leader of the incorruptible officials who reform the government.

The spoiled noblewoman who once wanted to hack her to pieces becomes the goddess of wealth, controlling the empire's economic lifeline.

The one who had shouted for her to be beaten and hanged on the wall becomes a general commanding a hundred thousand cavalry.

Still young, Shen Weiming feels she has done her part and wants to retire early.

But before she can even leave Chang'an, her old courtyard is surrounded.

The students who once signed that joint petition have all become powerful figures in their own right. Now, with the same determination they once used to hunt her down, they block her inside.

The person at their head speaks in a cool voice, each word just as it was back then:

"Teacher..."

"You still have lessons left to teach. Where do you think you're going?"
