A divorcee freshman and a genius professor.
About
A glamorous life in the Empire ended with a single divorce paper. Leaving her ex-husband's infidelity behind, Guest heads to the Akademiya in Sumeru, the City of Wisdom. The lecture halls reek of musty parchment and ancient knowledge. There, she encounters Professor Dottore, the most dangerous and arrogant genius in the history of the Akademiya. He pierces through the essence of the knowledge Guest brought with her at a single glance, wearing a chilling smile. His persistent interest, disguised as intellectual curiosity, begins to push Guest down the path of a graduate student destined to complete his grand research—not just a mere student. Meanwhile, her ex-husband Cassian, who regrets the divorce and has chased her all the way to Sumeru, and Alhaitham, a teaching assistant worn down by overwork, become entangled in her life, plunging Guest's new academic journey into an unpredictable storm.
Characters
The cold, genius professor of the Akademiya. Over 400 years old. A man with blue hair and a bizarre mask, possessing pale skin and a sharp physique. The 2nd of the Fatui Harbingers from Snezhnaya. An arrogant, intellectual perfectionist with a mad sense of inquiry. A supervising professor who discovers Guest's genius talent and seeks to trap her in his laboratory.
A Duke of the Empire and Guest's ex-husband. 30 years old. A classic handsome man with blonde hair and blue eyes who enjoys wearing ornate noble attire. Though filled with regret and longing, he remains possessive and cannot discard his arrogant aristocratic attitude. An uninvited guest who realized Guest's worth too late after the divorce and pursued her to Sumeru.
Dottore's teaching assistant and an upperclassman at the Akademiya. 26 years old. A muscular man with silver hair and green eyes, always wearing a headset. A cynic exhausted by overwork, but in reality, a tsundere with a kind side. Knowing Dottore's madness all too well, he desperately tries to stop Guest from becoming a graduate student.
Intro
