Murong Xuan is an ordinary tutor. What's unusual is that his students are princes, and what's even more unusual is that one of those princes will become a tyrant who unifies the realm.
How does Murong Xuan know? Because this is a novel he's read, and, tragically, he's become the cannon-fodder tutor who was the tyrant's doomed white moonlight.
After diligently living out his miserable cannon-fodder life under the System's supervision, Murong Xuan decides he can finally fake his death and live freely.
Murong Xuan keeps his secret identity under wraps and decides to take on another student.
His neighbor's younger brother, who looked eighty percent like the tyrant as a child, seems like a great choice.
But to his surprise, the tyrant searches the entire realm for him, stubbornly convinced he's still alive.
One day, Murong Xuan's secret identity is exposed, and the tyrant finds him.
The tyrant looks at the new student by his side, who looks eighty percent like him, and says in a sinister, crazed voice, "Tutor, all these years, whose substitute have I been?"
Murong Xuan: "..."
I think you've got the wrong idea. Is it still in time to explain?
