The Little Princess Turns Out to Be the Top Scholar's Mentor

Gu Caiwei, a normal university student whose only ambition was to teach, was born into the body of a little princess. She could even communicate instantly across a distance with the poor boy Liu Tingzhang using paper and brush. The boy was diligent and eager to learn, and Gu Caiwei was moved by him. Taking on a secret identity, she taught him to study for the civil service exams. After years of companionship, she raised him from afar into the top scholar.

By chance, Gu Caiwei learned that the two of them had been bound by fate since their previous lives under the Big Dipper. Liu Tingzhang was the Star Lord of Literature, and she was Princess Yaoguang. Their messages on paper were a little supernatural ability the Star Lord of Literature had obtained by exchanging the merit from his previous life.

At their first meeting, the young scholar mistook the little girl for his teacher's granddaughter and asked her to deliver a gift to his teacher. In return, he received a wooden bookmark inscribed with the words, "Gathering mugwort, gathering mugwort, the mugwort has begun to grow." At the time, he didn't understand what the words meant.

At their second meeting, the young man was a successful exam candidate and a friend of the girl's older brother. The master and disciple felt their time together had been far too short, and agreed to meet again at the capital's examinations. But, as so often happens, things didn't go as planned.

Their third meeting was almost a meeting, but not quite. The radiant princess watched the new top scholar ride through the streets, believing she had kept her contribution a secret. Little did she know that Liu Tingzhang had followed her with his eyes for a long, long time.

Later, the new emperor's trusted confidant performed a formal bow of thanks to the princess in public. "Everything I have today is thanks to my esteemed teacher." The pair became a legend in the capital. Later still, they became an immortal couple who loved each other for life, an even greater legend.

"Save the mother or the child?"

"The child!"

The male voice was hoarse and frantic.

As his young wife lay dying in difficult labor, she heard her husband, Jiang Mo, make his decisive choice outside the window. The words were etched into her heart. But after giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl, she died and was reborn in the modern era as Xing Qingchan, where she lived a completely different, smooth-sailing life.

Reborn into the life before her previous life, just as she was about to die in childbirth, Xing Qingchan couldn't help feeling furious. Her immediate priority, of course, was to survive and deliver the children safely.

She had no time for the proper ancient man Jiang Mo. He clearly loved his wife, yet left her behind to go to the capital and enjoyed the company of his concubines. He knew his mother was overbearing and muddleheaded, yet let her arrange everything for his wife's delivery. He remained a widower for the rest of his life. He deserved it.

But with a crisis looming, Xing Qingchan had no choice but to rely on him.

She gritted her teeth and made an outrageous demand: Jiang Mo had to stay with her in the delivery room. Xing Qingchan never expected him to agree. A stuffy scholar-official was willing to accept a request everyone thought absurd?

Holding a newborn pair of twins, Xing Qingchan said reluctantly, "I'll remember what you've done for me."

Once her life was no longer in danger, Xing Qingchan had to think about the future. Her plans didn't include Jiang Mo, and she wasn't sure about including the children either. After hitting one dead end after another, she discovered that there was almost no way to become independent.

As a liberal arts student, she couldn't change the world. Gradually, she earned a reputation for raising children well and finally settled into the role of an official's wife, putting down roots in this era and finding a life of her own within its limited bounds.

But what was she supposed to do about Jiang Mo, who was becoming more and more to her taste, and had learned to be considerate and faithful to his wife? Wouldn't it be better to keep their distance and remain nothing more than the children's parents? Why was her heart starting to stir against her will?

*

Jiang Mo became a model civil official. He felt he had no shame before his emperor or his people, but he had failed his wife, who died young in childbirth, and his children. He had raised them poorly, and not one member of the Jiang family came to his funeral.

Then he was suddenly reborn just before his wife was due to give birth. Jiang Mo resolved to start over and devote more care to his wife and children, building a model family with a virtuous husband, an admirable wife, filial sons, and gracious daughters.

But his young wife was very different from how he remembered her, with a will of her own. Jiang Mo was surprised, then gradually won over. He indulged and pampered her, even defying his mother for her sake, until he truly began to see and respect her, and understand her. "If you were an official, you'd surpass me by far."

She wasn't only the children's mother and mentor, but his guide as well. For the first time, Jiang Mo recklessly gave her his whole heart and soul, hoping they could share a bed in life and be buried together in death, supporting and understanding each other for the rest of their lives...
