This year, a little fairy arrived at the palace academy from the Northern Desert. She was alluring and graceful, with a captivating air. The children of the nobility were all entranced, each eager to strike up a conversation.
But the next day, the little fairy dodged a bee and smashed a desk to pieces.
On the third day, she made a mistake while writing and snapped a bookshelf in half.
On the fourth day, she was punished with standing duty and broke an inkstone made of iron...
Zhao Chengyu: No, no, this time it really wasn't me!
Everyone backed away three feet: Big Brother! Take us on as your disciples!
Zhao Chengyu blushed and smiled faintly: I... I haven't been anyone's big brother for years...

The Northern Desert had open customs. One day after classes, Zhao Chengyu cornered Grand Tutor Cheng at the palace gates.
Her face was as red as a blooming crabapple, and she said shyly, "Grand Tutor Cheng, I... I like you. Will you be with me?"
Cheng Younian glanced at the line of underlings behind her, there to put on a show of force, and his expression darkened. "Is this how you confess your feelings?"

After Cheng Younian rejected her, Zhao Chengyu arranged for her underlings to rob him, planning to play the beauty who saved the Grand Tutor.
"G-Grand Tutor, in the Northern Desert, we're expected to repay a life-saving favor by giving ourselves to our rescuer."
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Younian replied, "Customs matter. I suppose... this is the only way."
After nightfall, Cheng Younian slipped into the room next door. In the dim moonlight, Zhao Chengyu, who had beaten off the bandits with her bare hands, clutched the covers tightly, her lashes trembling.
Cheng Younian's gaze darkened. "My savior, your husband has come to repay you with himself."
Zhao Chengyu: ...? This isn't how this is supposed to go.
Reading guide: One-on-one romance. The heroine is probably the pampered darling of the group (her underlings only see her as their big brother). She's delicate and soft, but her combat power occasionally goes through the roof without her noticing.
The hero is disabled, a refined scoundrel.
Theme: Never give up, no matter what.
