[Past and Present Life / The Enemies-to-Lovers Trope]

Xi Tong × Zhao Zhen

Previous life: Princess who died for her country × powerful eunuch (everything went wrong)

Present life: Aristocratic family's entertainer × ambitious Grand Tutor (exceptionally gifted)

Blurb One (The Short Version):

This is probably a story about disciplining each other in both their past and present lives.

It's also a story about two enemies becoming confidants, and eventually lovers.

Blurb Two (Still Not Complicated):

No one knew why Zhao Zhen, Grand Tutor of Ying, shut his heart to love in the prime of his life.

At thirty, he was handsome and elegant, with no wife or children, all alone.

The Grand Tutor wielded immense power and was ruthless. He could kill according to the law, or simply according to his mood.

Only Zhao Zhen knew that he often saw a woman's shadow in his dreams...

Until one day, at a retainer's home, he met an entertainer who tried to seduce him. Her appearance gradually came to match the figure in his dreams...

Zhao Zhen thought he would lock her away, keeping her by his side forever.

Reading Guide:

1. The male lead is a virgin, very much so.

2. A down-to-earth tale of love and desire.

3. The setting is similar to the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, but includes some original elements. Please don't nitpick the history.

4. The heroine became an immortal after her previous life. In this life, she has descended to the mortal world to undergo a trial. The past life and heavenly realm feature only briefly; the story focuses on her present life.

5. This may be a tragic romance with a fairly satisfying ending.

Theme: To the farthest reaches of heaven and the deepest depths of the underworld
