Yun Dai never imagined that one day she would transmigrate into an adult novel and become the female official in charge of teaching the young emperor etiquette.

Looking at the young emperor sitting obediently, then at the illustrated manual in her hands, she gritted her teeth in fury. No wonder this was an adult novel! It actually taught this kind of "etiquette"!

The young emperor lifted his handsome, refined face. "I am ready."

Yun Dai forced a smile.

You're ready, but I'm not!

Yun Dai shut the eye-searing picture book and decided to teach him the 24-character motto instead. "Repeat after me: prosperity..."

Before long, the Empress Dowager asked how the lessons were going. Before Yun Dai could make up an excuse, the woman gave her an unmistakable threat.

"If you can't teach him, there's no reason for you to stay alive."

Yun Dai had no choice but to teach in earnest. Once he graduated, she could make a run for it.

So she opened the picture book again. As his "teacher," she naturally had to see what it contained first.

Yun Dai blushed furiously as she read, then snapped the book shut. She looked again at the young emperor's innocent, obedient face. He knew absolutely nothing and needed everything explained to him. It was hard to imagine he was the protagonist of this adult novel.

"Your Majesty, take off your clothes first, ahem..." It was too embarrassing! She really couldn't say it!

Luo Mingzhu blinked and asked in confusion, "Do you want me to take off my clothes?"

Yun Dai looked away and nodded with difficulty.

Maybe she was a bad teacher, or maybe her "student" was too slow. Other than knowing to take off his outer robe whenever she came, Luo Mingzhu never knew what to do next.

Yun Dai had to take matters into her own hands. He obediently let her do as she pleased, and she always felt as if she were taking advantage of him.

After teaching him for several months, all she got was, "I can't learn..."

Yun Dai kept a blank face and pretended not to see the hurt in his eyes. "Then I can't exactly demonstrate it myself, can I?"

Luo Mingzhu's eyes lit up at once.

Yun Dai was planning to run away. The Empress Dowager had urged her ten times already. If he still couldn't learn, her head would be separated from her body!

She had just finished packing when the young emperor, drugged with an aphrodisiac, stumbled into her room.

Following what she had taught him, he took off his outer robe, knelt down, and looked up at her with shimmering eyes. "Sister Dai, I feel awful."

Yun Dai: This is bad. Don't tell me I really have to demonstrate it myself this time!

Recommended upcoming novel: Widowhood Made Me a Seductress

Blurb: The night of her wedding, her new husband went off to war. A month later, news of his death arrived.

The marriage Jiang Yuning had gone to such lengths to secure became a cage, burying the rest of her life.

Unwilling to remain a widow forever, she fled her husband's home in the middle of the night, only to encounter bandits. While escaping, she spotted a distinguished man in fine clothes on a fine horse in the distance. He became her only lifeline.

Jiang Yuning forced herself to run up to him. In her panic, she injured her eyes and wept tears of blood.

"Please save me, my lord. I will repay you."

Who could bear to turn away a beauty weeping tears of blood?

Jiang Yuning was taken back to the man's residence. Her eyes were temporarily blind, and he was the only person she could rely on.

By chance, she learned he was the crown prince, Xiao Hanshan. She began deliberately approaching him, making all sorts of excuses: her eyes hurt, she felt unwell, and so on. He answered every request.

Jiang Yuning thought he had feelings for her, but he never offered her a title. Unable to hold back, she went to ask what he really thought of her, only to find him in a meeting with someone else.

He told her to leave.

That night, Xiao Jizhou ordered her to learn how to serve a man. When she refused, he threatened her life.

Jiang Yuning studied hard for three months, then was sent by sedan chair to a separate residence.

The blindfold was removed, and a man's fingertips stroked the corners of her eyes. It was the minister who had attended the meeting at the residence that day, the Left Chancellor, Jimo Jin.

She suddenly fell into his arms, her eyes clouded with tears. "Please take pity on me, my lord. I don't want to be punished again."

She couldn't see the way he looked at her. She only heard him say yes.

Several months later, Jimo Jin said he wanted to marry her.

Jiang Yuning was delighted, but that night a man burst in and pinned her down. She struggled in terror.

"A Ning, have you forgotten whose woman you are?"

Jiang Yuning went cold all over and could only weep.

After many days of fear and anxiety, Jiang Yuning successfully entered the bridal sedan.

Only three months after the wedding, Jiang Yuning felt unwell and called for a doctor.

"Congratulations, madam. You're pregnant."

The voice was far too familiar. It was unmistakably her supposedly dead husband!

Her late husband asked her, "We've been apart for almost a year. Whose child is it?"

She wanted to say it was her current husband's, but her face suddenly went pale as she remembered what had happened before her wedding.
