Blurb:
Meng Zhiting is a math teacher and homeroom teacher by profession, a wage slave through and through. One day, while taking a lunch break in the staff room, she was struck by disaster: XX stabbed her through the neck, causing severe blood loss. The only reason? She'd confiscated XX's phone...
"I told you to let flowers be flowers, trees be trees, and XX be XX. Why wouldn't you listen?" Meng Zhiting gave herself two hard slaps!
To her surprise, she slapped herself awake!
Meng Zhiting discovered she'd traveled to ancient times. Her original body even had a talented fiance who'd gone to the capital to sit for the imperial examinations! She quickly packed her things, said goodbye to her parents, and claimed she was going to the capital to support him during the exams. In reality, once she got there, she didn't even look for Jiang Xun.
Her declaration was: "If I have a career, why would I worry about finding a man? I've resolved to devote my life to education! In my past life and this one! I'll bring the educational ideas of Comenius, Dewey, and Herbart to this ancient society that reveres teachers, and become a great educator remembered for generations!"
Jiang Xun recently received a letter from home saying his fiancee had gone to the capital. So he had people wait at the ferry crossing for several days, but she never showed up. Later, he heard that pirates had murdered people near the coast, not far from the capital. His young attendant didn't dare tell him, afraid it would distract him from his studies. Instead, he hurriedly sent a letter to their hometown of Huaiyang and asked the matriarch of the family to decide what to do...
One misunderstanding after another played out like a serial drama, spilling a whole basin of melodrama!
Poor Jiang Xun. On one hand, he was shackled by morality and didn't dare divorce his wife after earning a title, lest the world condemn him. On the other, he couldn't help falling for the Miss Meng at the Imperial College!
Because:
That Miss Meng at the Imperial College promotes open classes, demonstration lessons, co-teaching, unit-based instruction, and collaborative lesson planning.
That Miss Meng at the Imperial College promotes curriculum standards, improves teaching plans, requires teachers to visit students' homes regularly, and teaches students about safety.
That Miss Meng at the Imperial College promotes teacher performance reviews...
That Miss Meng at the Imperial College cares about her students so much, she even puts up materials on drowning prevention!
The teachers and students at the Imperial College are all working themselves to the bone!
Meng Zhiting finally decided to break off the engagement and find a man who could build a career with her. After all, she wasn't getting any younger, and lately the old scholars at the Imperial College had been gossiping about her.
That Jiang Xun doesn't seem so bad...
[This story is purely sarcastic and says the opposite of what it means! Whoever wants this job can have it.]
It'll start in the winter break of 2026, if the preorders go well.
