Lin Wan is forced to take over Xingze College, a third-tier institution on the verge of closure. Right after taking office, she’s publicly mocked by her fiancé Shen Mingyuan: “Mud can’t support a wall.” Unwilling to give in, she bets all her savings on introducing unique majors like intangible cultural heritage digital restoration and rural revitalization entrepreneurship, and even recruits Gu Shen—a quirky yet idealistic education expert—as the academic advisor. From clashing to collaborating, Lin Wan never expects that this sharp-tongued but reliable man is the “anonymous senior” who secretly paid her tuition years ago. When Xingze College breaks into the world’s top 50 universities with its philosophy of “connecting education to real life,” Shen Mingyuan is overwhelmed with regret. Meanwhile, Gu Shen proposes with a custom “Principal’s Syllabus”: “I’ve always said you’re not mud—you’re the seed that makes the wilderness bloom.”
