The Imperial Tutor Is Going to Run Away with the Baby

New novel: After the Hated Crown Prince Dies. You're welcome to add it to your favorites!

* Song Nanyu, the Great Yong emperor's tutor, entered the palace in his youth. He schemed at every turn and climbed the ranks by any means necessary, enduring ten years of hardship for the sole purpose of revenge.

Little Ning He was the one and only surprise in his life.

Song Nanyu used Ning He, an unfavored prince, to fight for power and profit, but as they spent each day together, he also fell for the boy in earnest.

Song Nanyu taught Ning He to read and write, stood up for him and took punishment in his place, and whenever Ning He pouted or threw a tantrum, he would hold the little child and gently soothe him.

But time passed, and after growing up and ascending the throne, Ning He came to see him as a treacherous minister who abused his power. Their relationship plunged to freezing point in an instant, never again as close as it had been in their youth.

Song Nanyu had originally planned to step down once Ning He had married and started a family, returning the realm he had protected to Ning He exactly as it was.

But he never expected that, during one expedition to suppress bandits, the secret he had deliberately hidden all along would be discovered by the young man. Ning He even used it to threaten him, baiting him with love and dragging him straight into an abyss...

Only later did he learn that his A-He had never loved him at all. After Song Nanyu had their child, Ning He even cast him into a dungeon that was like a waking nightmare.

Heartbroken and disillusioned, Song Nanyu resolutely vanished from Ning He's world...

*

Song Nanyu disappeared, along with the child they had yet to welcome into the world, from the golden cage Ning He had built for him with his own hands.

Ning He went mad searching the entire palace and its surroundings with his people, but he could never find his tutor again.

Some said that Lord Song had been kidnapped from the dungeon a few days ago after someone poisoned him and left him unable to speak.

Others said that Lord Song had perished in the fire in the dungeon, and that not even his remains could be found.

Ning He couldn't understand how his tutor, so delicate and frail, with no one to rely on, and who had spent half his life struggling just to cling to imperial power, could bear to leave him...

Reading guide: 1. Mpreg, happy ending.

2. A slow burn, with angst and sweetness mixed together. There is both sweetness and pain.

3. Neither the top nor the bottom is perfect. It has a strong old-school melodramatic feel.

4. The setting is fictional, and the story focuses on the relationship between the top and the bottom. This is an angst-filled story, not a wish-fulfillment novel. To be precise, it's probably a melodramatic second-chance romance. Thanks to everyone who enjoys it. I don't expect everyone to like it, and you don't need to tell me if you drop it. Thank you.

Theme: Even in difficult circumstances, one should strive to be self-reliant and work hard.
