I Inherited My Family's Noble Academy After My Engagement Was Broken Off

Luo Zhitao was born with eyes that could see spirits, allowing her to communicate with ghosts and gods. But because of this, people branded her a bad omen, and she died with her name cleared too late. After death, she transmigrated into the body of a disposable stepdaughter in a wealthy family. Being married off to a useless playboy was bad enough, but she was also despised and jilted at the altar, left with nowhere to go. She became the outcast and laughingstock of the entire elite social circle, with paparazzi putting her on public display in the entertainment pages every few days. Even at home, the servants looked down on her. "She's nothing but the stepdaughter of a fallen family. At this point, she'll never be able to hold her head up in public again." So Luo Zhitao packed her things and returned to her late mother's family. Her mother's family had fallen on hard times, and the only asset left to her was an aristocratic academy on the verge of closing down. Without hesitation, she took it over. Looking at the academy's spoiled students, who were hopeless at studying but experts at causing trouble, Luo Zhitao smiled. Fortunately, her spirit-medium abilities were still with her. Ever since the Roselia Academy's new, young principal took over, its teachers and students had been horrified to discover... They seemed to have been swept into a series of campus ghost stories! One night, a student goes to the bathroom, and the thousand-year-old ghost in the toilet lifts its head with a genial smile. "When I was your age, I had already placed third in the imperial examinations. Alas, Heaven was jealous of my talent, and I died an untimely death. Do you, perhaps, want to end up like me?" A student plans to bully someone and has just dragged their target into the woods when half a head drops from a tree. "A thousand years ago, I was wrongfully killed just like this. Stop bullying people. Be a good person, and you'll live longer!" The outside world waited for Luo Zhitao to become a laughingstock, but could only watch as she slowly brought a dying school back to life. What shook the wealthy families most was that the children they had treated as unwanted and dumped at that broken-down school all grew at an astonishing pace, then reclaimed their power and status at home. Their families gradually slipped out of control, while the new heads who seized power all held to one unshakable belief: "Principal Luo was the one who pulled us out of the mire of the abyss. We will spend our whole lives giving her a better world." *The heroine is universally adored, with many one-sided crushes. The male lead appears late, and the ending is one-on-one. Theme: Anyone can shine and make a difference in society through hard work.
