A deceptively innocent, flirtatious general (all he has underneath is a wife-protecting love fool) × a career-minded, transmigrated female tutor
Modern teacher Shen Ciying transmigrates into an orphan in an imaginary dynasty. She plans to lie flat, until she sees women of the lower classes bullied because they can't read.
Her deep-rooted passion for educating others awakens in an instant: She must open a school for girls! Women should read, gain wisdom, and aspire to great things!
A broken engagement, then a forced marriage? A career partner falls right out of the sky?
After catching her fiance flirting with someone else, Shen Ciying decisively dumps him and breaks off the engagement!
But an esteemed general newly appointed by the court has already been waiting in the shadows.
In the carriage, the man's gaze burns as he presses in assertively. "Marry me. Being a general's wife will help you open your school."
Shen Ciying raises an eyebrow. "Deal!"
The capital's circle of noblewomen? No, they're all future business partners!
With the status of a general's wife, Shen Ciying has a clear goal: break into the noblewomen's circle and pave the way for her girls' school!
She solves the bizarre case of an embroiderer who died suddenly, gains a best friend in the Minister of Revenue's daughter, and gets a bookshop thrown in for free!
The bookshop has a library tower, and a mysterious dream guides her to an ancient collection of top-scoring women from the previous dynasty!
Everything leads to a thousand-year-old monastery.
A high monk dies under mysterious circumstances, and the evidence points straight to her.
From the capital to the whole country, schools for girls blossom everywhere, quietly changing women's status.
But she doesn't know...
On the imperial throne, the emperor smiles as he moves his pieces. "Schools for girls? Female officials? They're all just pawns for me to keep the court in balance."
Behind the beaded curtain, the empress's eyes are deep and knowing as her hand slowly closes. "Ruling from behind the curtain? It's just a temporary measure. What I want goes far beyond that..."

Black lotus beauty × deceptively gentle, crazy hero (one-on-one, happy ending, both leads virgins)
On the fifteenth day of the fifth month, bandits attack during a Buddhist pilgrimage.
Xie Rujin flees toward a farmhouse, only to be caught by someone.
She lowers her eyes, then grabs the young man's sleeve. "My lord, save me."
Her eyes are faintly red.
The young man's heart pounds, his ears burning red. He doesn't know that beneath her alluring face lies nothing but calculation.
While trapped in the bandits' stronghold, he protects her, and she warms porridge and grinds ink for him. He believes they cherish each other and have promised themselves to a life together.
That is, until a group of soldiers storms the stronghold. She pours a bowl of drugged wine past his lips. "Why?"
Firelight reflects in her utterly calm eyes. "It was just an act."
Three years later, when the Marquis of Zhennan returns to the capital to report on his duties, the main street is packed with people and full of noise.
Someone in the crowd smiles at her.
She is startled, trembling from head to toe.
He's back!
Everything that happened at the bandits' stronghold is about to be brought up again...
Later, red candles burn bright.
Averted eyes, hands pushing him away.
"Do you find me vile and filthy?" He smiles as he tears open his clothes, revealing a hideous scar.
"Then let's rot together in this bed." A touch of madness curls his lips.
Xie Rujin finally tears away her gentle mask, digging her nails into his flesh. "Meng Qing, I wish you were dead."
He kisses her lips. "Fine. But when we go to the underworld, we have to hold hands. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be scared all alone!"
