Zhou Yan transmigrated into a book as a minor character ten years before his scheduled appearance, and accidentally became the beloved Imperial Preceptor of Great Liang.
On the battlefield, he could turn back a hundred thousand troops. In everyday life, he was so frail that the slightest breeze made him cough blood.
The emperor and his officials felt sorry for him and had him recuperate in the palace, where he could also teach the Crown Prince.
The little tyrant who would one day mercilessly kill his entire family was still an innocent, adorable Crown Prince. Every night, he clung to Zhou Yan’s hand and begged pitifully for extra lessons. “Teacher, don’t go. There’s still a little I don’t understand.”
Later, after the little tyrant ascended the throne, Zhou Yan was locked inside the palace and made to keep teaching him. “There’s something I don’t understand, and I’d like to ask you about it, Teacher.”
Zhou Yan lowered his gaze to the gold chain around his ankle. “There’s something I don’t understand, too.”
.
That Teacher Zhou, who shone like the bright moon in the heavens, was the little tyrant’s unattainable dream since childhood.
He had walked alongside the late emperor and chatted amiably with the court officials.
He had answered the call in a time of crisis, defeated the enemy single-handedly, and earned the wholehearted devotion of the soldiers throughout the realm.
Even the rulers and officials of enemy nations he had defeated time and time again often sent him letters and gifts to express their affection.
Accustomed to returning their friendliness, he didn’t forget to show deep fatherly love to the little tyrant, who looked visibly displeased. “I was entrusted with Your Majesty by the late emperor. I regard you as my own son.”
The little tyrant gave a cold laugh. “You want a son, Teacher? I’ll grant your wish.”
“...I’ll have one with you.”
Zhou Yan, pushed down onto the imperial bed: ???!

[Thank you for finding this story. The author poured a lot of love and effort into it, and it’s my own white moonlight, but my abilities are limited and I can’t make it perfect. Please understand, and don’t set your hopes too high. Also, before pointing out typos, please look things up on Baidu first instead of making random corrections. Thank you!]
Coming soon: The Emperor’s White Moonlight Substitute
The second daughter of the Duke’s estate was made empress by the emperor.
Rumors in the capital claimed that Empress Lin looked just like the emperor’s white moonlight. Though peerlessly beautiful, she was merely a pitiful substitute, a canary in a cage, imprisoned deep in the palace and kept as a plaything by the emperor.
Empress Lin herself didn’t mind. She spent her days lazing about, just making sure the notoriously brutal emperor didn’t discover two things:
First, she was a man in disguise.
Second, Shen Hanyan, the greatest swordsman under heaven, was her secret identity. He had offended nearly every court official and had even once struck the emperor with his sword.
.
Then one day, Empress Lin accidentally broke one of the emperor’s old bracelets.
The emperor, usually so vicious and brutal, cradled the shabby old bracelet. His eyes were practically bleeding as he sentenced her to kneel and confined her to the Cold Palace.
Shen Hanyan: Isn’t this the cheap trinket I casually gave to my admirers back then? I gave away so many of these...
