Zhao Qiusheng had dropped out of school three months ago when he transmigrated into the body of a tenured high school teacher.
Zhao Qiusheng strongly suspected he hadn't died of food poisoning, but had been crushed to death by a pie falling from the sky.
That was what he thought until he saw "Subject Taught: Mathematics" on his teaching certificate.
"I'm a translator, and there's no other reason: I've been bad at math my whole life."
Should he relearn math or be reborn? That was the question.
His phone gave a brief chime. Zhao Qiusheng pulled his hand back just as it was about to touch the switch:
[XX Bank] Dear Mr./Ms. Zhao Qiusheng, hello! Your savings card ending in XXXX was automatically charged RMB 19.0 on X/X at XX:XX. Your current balance is RMB 19,087,472.0.
Before the long-delayed joy could hit him, his reason returned first.
A rich second-generation heir with the same name as him? Why did that sound so much like the scum gong and miserable shou novel he'd just read...?
It was an old-fashioned campus-to-wedding romance in which the scum gong joined forces with the whole class to bully the protagonist shou, nearly forcing him to drop out and causing him to fail the college entrance exam. The heartbroken shou fled overseas, only to be caught, abused, and have a kidney stolen, before somehow still getting a happy ending.
Don't get the wrong idea: Zhao Qiusheng wasn't the scum gong. He was the scum gong's half-brother and homeroom teacher, a minor cannon-fodder character who accidentally died during the protagonists' later power struggle.
To protect his hard-won life as a rich second-generation heir, Zhao Qiusheng sharpened his knives, grabbed a stick to break up the couple, and charged into school. "Scum gong and miserable shou, all of you are going to study hard!"

Zhao Qiusheng looked at the protagonist, who spent every day fighting and causing trouble, then crammed for a month before the college entrance exam and got into a prestigious university. Thinking of how he'd frantically worked through problem banks back in the day, he once again wondered if the original author had ever even gone to high school.
He let out a cackling laugh. "Time to show you new-concept high schoolers what I'm made of."
Zhao Qiusheng's campaign to cut the red string was in full swing. When the protagonist gong took a group out for a brawl, Zhao Qiusheng brought security guards to lie in wait. Before he could congratulate himself on his cleverness, he noticed an excessively handsome young guard quietly squeezing the protagonist gong over beside the protagonist shou.
Zhao Qiusheng was lying in wait on the rooftop to catch the protagonist gong and shou meeting in secret when the rooftop door clicked shut. He stood up from the shadows with two math worksheets in his hands. "Come on, come on, hurry up and do a couple of problems."
The young security guard, who had been called to unlock the door, looked at Zhao Qiusheng with deep resentment, as if he were the Queen Mother of the West separating two lovers.
Ignoring the look on his face, Zhao Qiusheng smiled and held out his hand. "I'm Zhao Qiusheng, a teacher at this school. And your name is?"
The young guard stammered, "Li, Li Yue."
Li Yue, the villainous big boss from the novel who got crushed by the powerful?
Zhao Qiusheng was thunderstruck: The villain was actually a love-life bodyguard.
