One Glance at the Imperial Preceptor, and My Heart Turned Cold

Blurb: One day, many years ago, the Imperial Preceptor brought home a little girl he found outside. He gave her a name, washed her until she was squeaky clean, and kept her by his side, raising her to be soft and sweet.

Though she was a disappointing little glutton and a mute who couldn't speak, the Imperial Preceptor doted on her and never once looked down on her.

Then, one day, many years later, the girl took against the Imperial Preceptor and ran away on her own.

Imperial Preceptor: (ー_ー)!!

Imperial Preceptor: You need to be taught a lesson.

Xiao Liangliang: ...

Later still, the Imperial Preceptor said: "Come back. I've forgiven you."
