I Only Wanted to Close the Academy, Yet I Trained a Court Full of Powerful Officials

[No romance, shining on her own + transmigrated into a book as a doomed side character + giving up and going wild + ensemble cast building careers]

I transmigrated into the body of the junior dean of an academy that would be seized and shut down three years from now. The System said that if I could successfully run the academy into the ground, I’d get a billion in retirement money and return to the modern world. I was instantly fired up.

To ruin the academy’s reputation, I abolished morning reading, scrapped the Eight-Legged Essay, recruited poor students, and took in anyone nobody else wanted.

The son of a disgraced official? Accepted.

A merchant’s daughter who reeks of money? Accepted.

A sickly boy with a disability? Accepted.

A little beggar from the street? Accepted too.

Every day, I kept up a calm front while secretly praying like mad: Hurry up and make trouble! Go crazy! Bring this lousy academy down!

But these good-for-nothings turned out to be more extraordinary than the last.

The merchant’s daughter uncovered the Ministry of Revenue’s secret accounts, and the disabled youth invented peerless weapons of war.

The little beggar became a young general through sheer slaughter, while the son of the disgraced official stunned the entire court with his policy essay at the palace examination.

The System broke down. So did I.

All I wanted was to go bankrupt and go home.

How did I open my eyes to find that the entire court was full of my students?
