I'm Only a High School Senior, So Why Is the System Rushing Me Into a Second Marriage?

[One female lead] [Easygoing daily life] [Childhood friends] [Mutual pining]

The day before his senior year of high school, Du Yan awakens a System for turning his life around at age 38.

[One of the main quests: Turn your life around after your second marriage!]

[Your childhood friend is now a celebrated literary author, an unattainable beauty in the literary world. Win her over again!]

Du Yan glances at Wen Zhimан, his childhood friend, who is beside him stealing his oden and wearing a short skirt with white sneakers.

"...System, are you blind, or am I?"

But still...

Could things that were impossible at 38 really be as easy as lifting a finger at 18?

The health he couldn't recover in middle age? A jog takes care of it, and he gets an all-stats boost as a reward.

The knowledge he couldn't force himself to learn in middle age? He casually recites his lessons and gets [Photographic Memory].

Getting a personal item from his childhood friend, the famous author he reunited with after years apart?

What's so hard about that with this silly girl?

Du Yan casually pulls the hair tie from his childhood friend's mouth. Quest complete.

While Du Yan is busy milking the System, getting fit, dominating the school, and coming in first on the exams,

he also looks into "why his childhood friend suddenly left without a word in the future." Meanwhile, Wen Zhimан comes over with a little notebook:

"Du Yan, I heard you're pursuing that unattainable executive online? Here, I'll be your strategist and teach you how to win her over. I'm doing it for research for my writing, of course~"

Du Yan: "That's what I call a real friend!"

Wen Zhimан rolls around laughing to keep from bursting out loud: You dummy, the person you're pursuing is me!

.

It was a long, long time before Du Yan understood.

At thirty-five, he had lost far too much compared to who he was at eighteen.

Luckily, he was only eighteen now.

He had all the time and opportunities in the world,

and an entire summer to hold on to the girl he was meant to lose.
