The Third Year After the Imperial Tutor’s Death

The emperor of this world was Xie Wen’s final mission. After completing it, Xie Wen broke free of the transmigration-into-a-book System and regained his freedom. He never wanted to devote himself to anyone again or wear himself out worrying over everything. But in the third year after faking his death and going into hiding, the half-dead wolf cub he had never managed to tame showed up. The wolf cub tucked his tail between his legs and lowered his head for the first time in his life. He said he was sorry, begged Xie Wen not to abandon him, and pleaded, “Please, Teacher.” Xie Wen pointed to the scars on his wrist and spoke softly: “You didn’t say that when you wanted me dead.” / The Imperial Tutor, Xie Wen, was the most notorious traitor and villain in the dynasty. He overstepped his authority to seize power, executed loyal officials, and coerced the emperor. Later, the emperor cleared his name, and the civil and military officials mourned him once more. But what good did that do? Three years after the Imperial Tutor’s death, the supreme ruler of all under heaven was trapped in nightmares night after night. He dreamed of teeth marks and blood on that frost-pale wrist. He dreamed of Xie Wen’s ragged, trembling breaths as pain wracked him, each one burrowing into his bones and feeding his obsession. He realized how obsessed he was far too late. [Reading Guide] 1. One-on-one romance, happy ending, no switching gongs. 2. The shou has a universally beloved charm.

He took thirty knife wounds, and his body was reduced to mud. But he wasn’t quite dead. When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Shi’an found himself following his former nemesis. But the highly skilled Daoist Xue couldn’t see or hear him. Jiang couldn’t even get a single insult in. Great. Jiang Shi’an gritted his teeth in anger. You won’t let go of our grudge even after I’m dead? What could I possibly have done to deserve this? But later, he watched Daoist Xue use every ounce of his power and a lifetime of cultivation to win justice for him, piece by piece. / Xue Jian was close to death. A secret art had used up his life force, and within two years he would be completely spent. The aloof, arrogant Daoist Xue planned to give his body to a spirit he had personally summoned back after he died. Jiang Shi’an. Everyone called him cruel, violent, and unpredictable. On the snowy night when he was cast out of his sect, his grandmaster sat high in the hall, looked down, and asked him: “Xiao Jian, I have just one question for you.” Kneeling in snow half a foot deep, his hair white at only twenty-five, he bowed his head to the ground. “It was worth it.” Please add my upcoming stories to your collection~ Feel free to check out my older works, but pay attention to the posting dates when catching up.
