The Golden-Age Regret System

Lin Ran is just a normal college freshman struggling with calculus when a translucent floating interface suddenly appears before his eyes. The system claims he is actually an eighty-year-old billionaire whose sprawling business empire is on the verge of collapse, and he must now activate the "Golden-Age Regret Remediation System." Confronted with bizarre quests to thwart his "lifelong archrival"—who turns out to be his balding, lecture-spewing academic advisor—Lin Ran quickly realizes that the system’s dramatic assessments of his life are wildly exaggerated. Yet, as the system thrusts him into absurd confrontations with his peers, he discovers that the "cold-blooded empress" and "vipers plotting against his fortune" are actually just his shy, socially awkward classmates. Between navigating chaotic campus life and raking in surprisingly lucrative cash rewards for his compliance, Lin Ran decides that while the system might be completely delusional, its payouts are undeniably real.
