The Shadow Teacher

After losing her job as a preschool teacher, Lin Xiangyun uses her special education certificate to become a shadow teacher at a special education center, helping the autistic boy Liang Xiaobin integrate into mainstream school.

She must help this “strange kid” fit in at a regular school while getting her own life back on track. Her husband is drowning in debt, her brother has the mind of an eight-year-old, and she has evidence that her marriage has been betrayed...

Every problem leaves her struggling to breathe. Then there’s Xu Yi, a student’s guardian who makes things difficult at every turn. He’s the boy’s uncle, yet he cares more than anyone.

Their tense, hair-trigger confrontations seem to bring them closer than anyone else to the tender hearts concealed beneath each other’s hard shells.
