Putting the Ancients Through the Gauntlet of Exam-Oriented Education

Yan Luzhou, a top-level teacher, was murdered while walking a student home. After dying, she transmigrated to ancient times and awakened the “Teach and Nurture the Next Generation System.” Yan Luzhou: Teaching and nurturing students? I know all about that! To earn points, she took her brother’s place at the Imperial Academy. But Yan Luzhou didn’t understand the ancient language, and one exam paper later, she’d landed herself a position in the palace. A certain crown prince: “I happen to need an idiot to ruin my two younger brothers’ education...” He hadn’t expected Yan Luzhou to teach with modern methods, making her lessons concise and entertaining. The dull-witted Second Prince grew cheerful, and the rebellious Third Prince began paying attention in class. Before exams, Yan Luzhou gave her students the final lesson in exam-focused education, as usual: “Students, do you know what the most important part of an exam is?” “Answer carefully?” The Second Prince raised his hand. “Check your work?” The Third Prince tilted his head. “No, no, no. The most important thing is to fill in every blank.” Yan Luzhou smiled. “Write carefully when you know the answers, and don’t make mistakes. When you don’t know, write as much as you can. Maybe the grader will give you a few points for showing the right attitude?” “That’s how you get ahead, little by little...” As it turned out, both princes scored better than the crown prince had back in the day. It dealt another blow to Zhao Mingshen’s already shaky position as heir. That very night, Yan Luzhou was thrown into the dungeon for holding her inkstone improperly. Zhao Mingshen: (smiling the smile of death) I hear you’re good at teaching? Yan Luzhou: ... Damn it! What’s it to you if I teach and educate people?!
