Taking the Short Road: Starting with Running a Nursing Home

Want to take the easy road? Would you rather work as a security guard and skip twenty years of struggle, or move into a nursing home and skip sixty? In 2026, Zhang Yang, a student at Songhai University, accidentally tapped the wrong thing while scrolling on his phone, and the System sent him back to Songhai in 2005. It even appointed him director of a nursing home. But there was good news too: the System also gave him the old Western-style mansion where the home was located, a sprawling estate covering ten mu right in the city center. But when he hurried to the nursing home, full of anticipation and ready to take possession of the property, he discovered that things weren't as simple as he'd imagined. He couldn't get the mansion right away. He had to keep running the nursing home until the current residents' contracts all expired ten years later. And the residents were all people of extraordinary influence. A former world champion, a former movie star, a former state banquet chef... With these ordinary yet extraordinary seniors around, can he hold on for ten years and finally take over the mansion, worth a fortune?
