A Time-Travel Mission to Save Dad

Before she could even finish enjoying her life as a haughty heiress, Lu Yan was hit with a cold reality check when her family went bankrupt overnight. Her father was set up by a rival, and she found herself detained before meeting a tragic end in an accident.

Unexpectedly, death handed her a round-trip ticket back to her father Lu Zhen's teenage years. Faced with a chance at changing the future, she’s determined to shield her family from their impending doom.

Father-Daughter Feuds and Nemeses

The man waiting for Lu Yan in the past isn't the model father she knew, but a certified bad boy. The young master Lu Zhen back then was incredibly unruly, arrogant, and notorious as a trouble-making school heartthrob.

Things get even more ironic when her father’s rival turns out to be Shen Kuo, a poor student possessing a resilient strength. Lu Yan playing the mediator between these two leads to plenty of humorous situations that are as awkward as they are funny.

A Love That Stands the Test of Time

The bond between Lu Yan and Shen Kuo carries a mysterious tone as past and future collide. The man who would later become a cold-blooded tycoon has actually loved her since her previous life.

He spent a grueling 20 years quietly and patiently waiting for her to grow up. Lu Yan's psychological shift from fear to understanding eventually dissolves the boundaries of their family conflict.

Notable Strengths

• A fresh take on the rebirth trope where the female lead goes back in time to become her own father’s classmate and guardian.
• A deep romantic subplot featuring male lead Shen Kuo's unwavering devotion for over 20 years.
• Hilarious father-daughter interactions that provide a bright, entertaining school life atmosphere.
• A compact length of 93 chapters, maintaining a steady pace without unnecessary filler or dragging.

Unavoidable Weaknesses

• The characterization of Lu Yan leans a bit too heavily into the passive Mary Sue archetype.
• Her frequent crying might get on the nerves of readers who prefer a powerhouse heroine.
• The previous life's family conflict is resolved a bit too simply thanks to the "spoiler" advantage of knowing the future.

Community Ratings

• Novel Updates: 4.3/5 (21 ratings, checked on October 1, 2026)

Most readers praise the funny father-daughter dynamic and the male lead's sincerity, though some find the female lead a bit too much of a crybaby.

The Verdict

Spanning 93 chapters, this story offers a fairly complete and healing romance journey. Despite the potentially polarizing personality of the female lead, the novel successfully portrays family bonds and a steadfast love.

Bottom line: This is a school and rebirth combo perfect for those seeking warmth, just enough drama, and a love that truly waits.
