Qin Xiao was a military general in his previous life. After transmigrating, he ended up as the crown prince's tutor.
As the saying goes, when a general teaches the classics, the students are doomed to fail the imperial exams. In short: a disaster.
And the unlucky prince was none other than Sui Xu, the little brat he'd raised in his previous life. What else could he do but bluff his way through it?
Qin Xiao's lesson: Confucius said, "Always reason with people."
The young wolf Sui Xu immediately grabbed a knife: "Why waste words? Cut him down!"
Sui Xu: "..."
Although the old Sui family has an unwritten tradition: when a new emperor ascends the throne, the Imperial Tutor must be sacrificed to Heaven.
Qin Xiao had figured that with Sui Xu's unruly nature, he didn't seem likely to become emperor. All the better. He could enjoy each day as it came.
But to his surprise, Sui Xu returned from the battlefield at eighteen and rose straight to the throne, crowned emperor.
Qin Xiao packed his things that very night and ran for it.
Qin Xiao: "If I don't run, what then? Wait for that brat to sacrifice me to Heaven?"
A month later, a small town in the southern borderlands had a new schoolteacher.
"Sir, I heard you used to work in the palace. Have you ever met the emperor?" a child asked.
Qin Xiao smiled with narrowed eyes. "No, never met him. We aren't close."
"Aren't close?"
A familiar, chilling voice suddenly rang out behind him.
"Qin Xiao, are you going to abandon me a second time?"
