Synopsis

[System]+ [Everyone's favorite]+ [Building a business and infrastructure]+ [Funny everyday life]+ [A little livestreaming]+ [No romance for the heroine] Lin Qinglan wins a hundred-million-yuan lottery and gets bound to the “Senior University System.”

The students here are older than the teachers, and there's no shortage of anything you'd expect.

There are modeling teams, square-dancing groups, and esports classes. Intangible cultural heritage inheritors even teach classes themselves, alongside special courses like “How to Scientifically Handle In-Law Relationships” and “How to Properly Deal with Grandparents Spoiling Their Grandchildren.”

Ever since the uncles and aunties started attending the senior university, their backs no longer ache, their legs no longer hurt, they don't nag their children, and they're too busy to pressure anyone to get married.

A fifty-five-year-old member of the Writers' Association gets up at six with a backpack to claim the front row.

A sixty-seven-year-old business tycoon gives up billion-yuan contracts to make it to the eight o'clock class.

A seventy-three-year-old surgical expert doesn't even have a shaky hand when playing esports.

With its advanced educational philosophy of “enriching the golden years and helping uncles and aunties relive their youth,” the school is repeatedly featured in media interviews as a positive role model.

As principal, Lin Qinglan isn't just the favorite of all the uncles and aunties, she's the apple of their eye. They all call her their own daughter and compete to find her a partner.

Netizens watching the fun leave comments on the school's account.

“Teacher, why is my grandpa sitting in the back? There's an empty seat in the middle of the front row. Put him there.”

“Teacher, I took a wrong turn dropping my mom off this morning. We'll be a little late.”

“Teacher, I think my dad is having a late-in-life romance.”

“Teacher, can my kid skip the meeting?”

It's great! The interactions between the system and the protagonist are lovely, and the elderly characters are all unique; overall, it's a heartwarming story. Then, when I saw the words "family member," I couldn't help but laugh! Hahahaha! My only complaint is that it's only 100,000 words yet; it's still a baby! Why was it pushed to me? 😢😢

This book is so heartwarming, everyone! The uncles and aunts are all such nice people, there aren't any awful ones. Reading about those awful relatives in other stories makes me want to vomit. This book is perfect for relaxing reading; everyone's interactions are so loving and positive. The villains only have a couple of chapters. I love it so much! I hope the author keeps up the good work!

It's really funny; my kid laughs every time he watches it. It's perfect for relaxing.

The subject matter is novel and refreshing. Personally, I think the online parts could be removed or the online comments could be made more cheerful. Too much mindless criticism or cyberbullying affects the viewing experience and loses the warmth and happiness that a senior university theme should evoke.

This is incredibly good! It's one of the few novels where the female protagonist and the system become partners. I've read many where one side is merely a tool, or a human trafficker/capitalist (not really). The school is heartwarming, the relationship between the uncles and aunts is great, and it feels very realistic.

TO: The world's best author! "Peach and plum trees do not speak, yet a path is formed beneath them." Your writing demonstrates your masterful handling of the character shifts across different events, revealing a multifaceted Principal Kobayashi – truly remarkable! She seems like a living, breathing person, not just a character created by an author.

It's really lighthearted and humorous, with both laughs and tears. I cried so much during the part with Aunt Xie and Uncle Liao. It didn't deviate from the main theme; it all revolved around the elderly, interspersed with many social issues, especially focusing on the elderly. It progressed quickly, without explicitly stating anything about needing to refute others, but rather glossing over them.

This isn't just a boring, mundane account of daily life! The author's portrayal of senior citizen university life is very interesting, and every grandparent, grandchild, and teacher who appears is unique and memorable. It's a gentle and fun story! Very enjoyable!

This is truly excellent writing, and it's rare to find a story where the protagonist runs a senior citizens' university. The curriculum is also very well-designed. I'm so envious of the low tuition, good food, and diverse course selection! I hope you continue to improve and keep updating. Keep it up! 👍👍 I'll definitely keep following your updates! ❤️❤️

This is an exceptionally good book; I've already read it countless times. It's lighthearted and humorous overall, and each grandparent is vividly and three-dimensionally portrayed! It's heartwarming to read without being boring; every story has both laughs and tears, reflecting a real social phenomenon.
