In her previous life, Su Wan loved Prince Duan so much that she broke off the childhood engagement arranged for her sake. Before the engagement could even be called off, Prince Duan's rebellion was exposed, and Su Wan became the scapegoat who died in his place.
When she awoke from a dream, Su Wan had become the Ninth Princess, the most notorious young wastrel in the capital. The court was in chaos, powerful ministers ran the show, and a little emperor who cried at the drop of a hat sat on the throne.
The little emperor sobbed, "Sister, are they going to drag us out and behead us tomorrow?"
Su Wan frowned and looked at her childhood betrothed, now the most powerful man beneath the throne. "I don't know. Is there still time to save this situation?"
The Grand Tutor, Shen Liang, was renowned as a "gentleman in a corrupt age." His looks, character, and family background were all impeccable. Unfortunately, he was a widower. After the Su family met a tragic end, Shen Liang brought their memorial tablet into his home in a grand red bridal sedan chair, taking it as his bride.
People praised Grand Tutor Shen's deep devotion as moving heaven and earth. The noble young ladies of the capital flocked to him, each eager to become his second wife, but Shen Liang rejected them all.
When Su Wan heard about it, all hope of "saving the situation" drained away.
Men can't be relied on. I'll rely on myself.

The court officials were astonished when the Ninth Princess, once known for her laziness and lack of learning, suddenly became diligent, shutting herself in her palace all day to study. This sent the capital's gang of young wastrels into a panic.
The young wastrels gathered outside the princess's palace, only to see Grand Tutor Shen emerge in loose, flowing robes.
The young wastrels: ?
Shen Liang looked at the noble sons gathered outside the palace. "The Book of Rites. Go home and copy it from memory ten times each."
The young wastrels: ...
"Shen Liang! Have you no shame?" Su Wan stormed out after him, her cheeks still flushed. Then she saw the crowd gathered outside the palace...
Su Wan: !!!
The young wastrels: ???
