Ye Qingqing is a college athlete, and writing papers gives her a massive headache. She has only just written the title when her eyelids start drooping...
When she wakes up, she finds herself inside the tragic ending novel her roommate had insisted she read. She has become an unlucky princess who is forced into a political marriage, dies a gruesome death in a foreign land, and ends up separated forever from the male lead, the handsome Imperial Tutor.
"Wait! So what if the original story has a tragic ending? Let me change my fate and give it a happy ending! I'm coming for you, sickly, aloof Imperial Tutor!"
"If the princess refuses to marry, then let's settle it with a match. If I lose, I'll leave. If I win, you marry me," says her prospective spouse.
Ye Qingqing has never met anyone so arrogant! So she uses the original heroine's amazing cuju skills, darting past him, weaving around him, and kicking the ball through the goal in a spectacular move... The arrogant suitor loses the match, and loses her too.
But Ye Qingqing never expected the aloof Imperial Tutor who had once brought her to tears to be both a sickly invalid and an incredible jealous type!
A top imperial chef hears that the princess loves good food and immediately prepares a grand feast. Unfortunately, he runs into the Imperial Tutor, who blocks his way. "The princess's army camp is short a cook. You'd be perfect."
A top swordsman hears that the princess loves weapons and forges her a peerless blade with his own hands. The Imperial Tutor takes the sword and gives it a test swing. "The Bureau of Works under the princess has an opening. I'll put in a good word for you."
A top painter hears that the princess loves landscapes and works through the night to paint a picture of the empire's eternal prosperity. The Imperial Tutor studies the rolling mountains and carefully rendered terrain. "The princess's army is short a mapmaker..."
From then on, everyone in the empire knows the princess's three great loves: cuju, training soldiers, and the Imperial Tutor.
[Little Scene]
Ye Qingqing: My unlucky marriage prospect lost another cuju match today.
Imperial Tutor: So you spent the whole day running around just to do that?
The Imperial Tutor gave a soft cough, set down the silk handkerchief in his hand, and picked up the bowl of medicine on the table.
Ye Qingqing wrapped her arms around his neck, making him look into her starry eyes, then asked softly, "What kind of aged vinegar are you putting in the dumplings tonight?"
