I Went to Art School in America and Became My Roommate's Aunt

[Daily updates resume tomorrow (the 24th). Sorry, I’ve been dealing with things these past few days and only just finished.]

Lin Yun is an ordinary international student, but he has a rich second-generation roommate.

His roommate is seriously loaded. Watching him spend money like water makes Lin Yun incredibly jealous.

Thinking of his own life, carefully budgeting every day and washing dishes at a restaurant in the middle of the night, jealous tears spill from his mouth.

So he asks his friends back home how he can make his roommate's money become his own.

Friend: Get together with him. What’s his is yours, and what’s yours is still yours.

Lin Yun hesitates when he sees his friend's reply. But honestly, it would be a lie to say he isn't tempted.

He lowers his eyes and considers his chances of success. In the end, he makes up his mind and draws up a plan with his friend. Once everything is ready, he sets out to win his roommate over.

After a while, his plan proceeds smoothly, and he successfully gets his roommate hooked.

At his friend's suggestion, Lin Yun pretends to mention by accident when his birthday is. He plans to collect a little interest from his roommate for all the effort he's put into winning him over.

Sure enough, after learning when Lin Yun's birthday is, his roommate invites him to visit an estate that only people from prominent families can enter.

At first, he puts on an air of reserve and refuses. He keeps his roommate on tenterhooks for a few days before finally accepting the invitation on his birthday.

Lin Yun knows all too well how men are: they only cherish what they have to struggle to obtain.

The scenery at the estate is unlike anything Lin Yun has ever seen. He knows he doesn't belong among the estate's luxuries, but now that he's come this far, giving up is out of the question.

So he forces himself to set foot on this road of no return.

At the estate, he shares a dinner with his roommate that doesn't suit his taste at all. He still has to pretend to enjoy it. It's exhausting, but he has no regrets.

Lin Yun never expected to see his roommate's uncle just as they were about to leave.

He is a tall, refined man in a suit, with blond hair and blue eyes. He seems to be under thirty, yet looks quite mature.

The man's gaze carries a barely noticeable hint of scrutiny. After only a glance, he looks away.

Lin Yun can tell the man looks down on him, but he doesn't care. He's going to be with his roommate, not his roommate's uncle.

Besides, his ultimate goal has never been to marry his roommate. A traditional, powerful family like his roommate's has too many rules, and Lin Bai would never be able to accept them.

All he wants is to rake in a fortune, get through the hardships of studying abroad, and return home once he has his degree.

With that in mind, Lin Yun remains quite composed.

Just as he thinks that brief encounter will be his only interaction with his roommate's uncle...

What happens next is something he could never have imagined, let alone dared to imagine.

One day, he falls asleep in his dorm room. When he wakes up...

Lin Yun finds himself in the arms of an unfamiliar man. His whole body aches and feels weak. His mind a blank, he looks up and sees a familiar face.

It's his roommate's uncle!

How can this be?

He doesn't scream. Instead, he struggles calmly out of the man's embrace and sits on the bed, taking in his surroundings.

When his eyes land on a wedding portrait hanging on the wall, Lin Yun feels as if he's dreaming. Why are he and his roommate's uncle the people in the picture?

He pinches himself. The pain tells him this isn't a dream. It seems he's transmigrated into the future?!

Premise: Work hard and never give up.
