The Tutor Only Wants to Pass

[A practical, outspoken heroine x a sly fox who's no fool and has plenty of money]

As a university student, you have to prepare for graduate school, study for the civil service exam, finish your thesis project, apply to study abroad, and look for a spring recruitment job, all at once.

After transmigrating, Jiang Yongzhao figured she could likewise make money, reform the system, and grab sesame flatbreads from the widow at the bridge, all at once, while also dating an angel investor. Wait, that guy was a demon.

Jiang Yongzhao's startup checklist:

1. Turn a bankrupt bookshop into a top-university exam-prep center.

2. Take a Hanlin scholar who collapsed from hunger in the street and turn him into a sharp-tongued master teacher.

3. Make spoiled young gentlemen cry, "Give us another set of practice questions!"

Xie Linyuan's investment notes:

1. Take over every sesame-flatbread stall on Vermilion Bird Bridge to feed his little teacher.

2. Buy out the entire Xie Ink Shop to give struggling students scratch paper.

3. Throw money everywhere on the heroine's "enemies list."

Little Scenes

◆ When the spoiled young masters slack off:

Jiang Yongzhao: "Finish this set of 'Five Years of Imperial Exams, Three Years of Mock Exams' before you say another word!"

Xie Linyuan: "Someone buy the storyteller in the west of the city and have him turn his stories into exam questions."

◆ When old-fashioned men question women running schools:

Jiang Yongzhao: "A note on page three of 'Admonitions for Women': I suggest renaming it 'A Man Who Knows How to Act Cute Has It Best.'"

Xie Linyuan: "Starting today, all thirty bookshops on Vermilion Bird Bridge will sell only Jiang family textbooks."

◆ When the students beg for mercy as a group:

Students: "Teacher's wife! Please persuade Teacher Jiang to assign less vacation homework!"

Xie Linyuan: "...Call me that again, and I'll use the sponsorship money to buy the deluxe edition of 'Three Years of Mock Exams, Five Years of Imperial Examinations.'"

Jiang Yongzhao: "Does your money just fall from the sky?"

Xie Linyuan: "Let that wind knock down the walls standing in your way instead."
