I Disguised Myself as a Man, and My Student's Older Brother Won't Leave Me Alone

The capital has two remarkable people:

The renowned teacher Xu Lanqiao.

She is erudite and clever, with an innovative teaching style. Yet she has delicate, dewy looks, more like a young woman than an ordinary teacher.

And she has a secret no one knows: she is a transmigrator.

Pei Jinghan became the head of the Imperial Guards at the age of twenty.

He is not only handsome and graceful, but also skilled in both letters and arms. However, he is cold and merciless, and keeps his distance from women. Everyone in the capital says he's a living King of Hell who can silence a crying child.

He has a secret too: he plans to usurp the throne.

One day, when Pei Jinghan's younger brother got into trouble, the teacher called in his guardian.

When the two met for the first time, Pei Jinghan fell in love at first sight and froze on the spot.

Xu Lanqiao scolded him in frustration:

"As a teacher, I've never seen anyone who loves disrupting class this much. As head of the Imperial Guards, you must discipline him strictly."

In Pei Jinghan's ears, her words were automatically filtered into:

"I blah blah blah, love blah blah blah, you."

Restrained by propriety, he blushed at the tips of his ears, pretending to refuse while secretly accepting.

Xu Lanqiao transmigrated and was bound to a Good Teacher Observation System. The person being observed was herself.

The problem was, why was she supposed to be a male teacher? And why was this a fictional dynasty with no history she could look up?

Xu Lanqiao tried to bargain with the System: "System, send me back to modern times. I was a high school teacher there too. You can observe me as much as you like."

The System murmured: "Oh, it's fine if you don't want to stay here. But you were in a car accident before you transmigrated and died. By now, you've probably already been turned to ashes. I'll send you back to be buried, then bind a new Host for observation."

Well, she had no choice. She could only disguise herself as a man and grit her teeth through it.

She tearfully took over the academy's "worst class" and tried to console herself:

[It's my old job, that's all. What difference could there be between modern students and ancient students? They'll definitely be easy for me to handle!]

She didn't go easy on anyone, not even Pei Jinghan's younger brother, a notorious little menace.

She taught him a stern lesson, kept him after class, and "called in his guardian."

Pei Jinghan came to discipline his useless younger brother. He offered no comforting words or admonishment. Instead, he immediately drew his black whip, and one look from him plunged the whole room into silence.

The only person brave enough to step forward was the frail-looking Xu Lanqiao.

She stepped in front of Pei Jinghan's younger brother. "My lord, I didn't call you here to watch you beat him. I called you so we could talk about your brother's problems."

From that day on, both brothers began to look at her differently.

As she drew closer to the truth, she also came to understand Pei Jinghan, the cold-faced King of Hell everyone feared.

He didn't seem so frightening after all.

Once, she died trying to protect one of her students.

Later, every student she taught became one of the thousands of soldiers who would protect her in this world.

Xu Lanqiao: He probably doesn't know I'm a woman disguised as a man, right?

Pei Jinghan: Should I tell her I know she's a woman?

"The Princess Remarried, and the Top Graduate Made the Whole Capital Jealous!"

On their wedding night, the princess made three demands, and the top graduate rejected them all.

Zhao Yushu: "Separate rooms."

Song Yan: "I can't accept that."

Zhao Yushu: "Once the court is stable, we'll divorce."

Song Yan: "The Song family has a rule: one spouse for life."

Zhao Yushu: "We'll live our own lives and stay out of each other's business."

Song Yan: "Husband and wife are one."

Zhao Yushu: "..." Wasn't this man forced into marriage?

Song Yan's policy was to agree with everything and refuse everything.

He didn't care much about romance. He thought one wife for life was enough. Since he'd married her, he had never considered a divorce. He only hoped Zhao Yushu would keep the household in order while he pursued his grand ambitions.

/

An imperial decree arranged their marriage. There was no arguing against it.

The overbearing princess: savage, domineering, older.

The scheming top graduate: calculating, cunning, pretending to be gentle.

The princess had always been unruly, but her new husband kept tripping her up. No one believed her when she complained, and she paid dearly for her bad reputation.

The top graduate made sure the world knew how unruly the princess was.

When his colleagues invited him to stay out late, he told everyone the princess wouldn't allow it.

When the prime minister tried to give him a beautiful concubine, he told everyone the princess was jealous and would break his legs.

Even when a colleague invited him to a birthday banquet, he said the princess wanted him to spend his day off helping her pick jewelry, or she wouldn't let him through the door.

The princess had no idea that her reputation as a jealous shrew was spreading throughout the capital. Whenever people mentioned her, they furrowed their brows and sighed, unable to help saying how pitiful the top graduate was.

The top graduate pretends to be henpecked, when in truth the princess doesn't care what happens to him.

The princess is genuinely henpecked, while the top graduate keeps making snide remarks to stop her from going to banquets.

On their wedding day:

The princess had just sent away her male favorite when the top graduate arrived to escort her. He pretended not to notice.

A twice-married woman, a princess, with all that power.

He still looked down on her. He'd marry her and keep her like a pretty ornament, letting her do as she pleased.

One day after the wedding:

The top graduate found a portrait of a handsome man emerging from a bath in her dressing case. He was so furious he gritted his teeth and tore the scroll to shreds, but that still wasn't enough. He set it on fire before he could regain some composure.

She fled, he pursued.

She retreated, he advanced.

Even when there was an occasional banquet, the usually aloof top graduate had to go with her.

At court, someone tried to make an issue of the princess's interference in politics, every word exposing her disgraceful past. The top graduate, usually kind and mild-mannered, took up a jade baton...

And started fighting right there in the great hall.
