The New Teacher of the '70s

The New Teacher of the '70s
What happens when a ruthless underworld boss trades his empire for a piece of chalk?
In the shifting tides of 1975, notorious gang leader Lü Shenghan fakes his own death to escape a massive government purge. Seeking refuge far from the bloodshed, he reinvents himself in a remote rural school as an English and Ethics teacher. His new territory? Classroom M.3/3—a chaotic group of struggling, forgotten students that no other teacher wants.
But erasing the past is never that simple. Just as Lü Shenghan begins to genuinely care for his students, his old life crashes into his new one. His fiercely loyal former right-hand man, Xiang Bai, suddenly tracks him down and enrolls in his class. Meanwhile, Lin Suwei, a sharp and principled fellow teacher, begins to suspect that the composed, handsome new instructor is hiding a dangerous secret.
When ruthless enemies from the underworld finally close in on the school, Lü Shenghan is forced to face an impossible choice. Will he surrender to the darkness to protect the students and the woman he has grown to love, or can a man with a bloodstained past truly find redemption at the front of a classroom?
Some lessons are learned from books. Others must be fought for.
