Back to the Years When My Father Was in School

Before the age of 20, Lu Yan was a squeamish rich second generation who was held by her father in the palm of his hand. It all ended when her father Lu Zhen was schemed against by his opponent and went bankrupt overnight. The man who ruined Lu Zhen’s life was Shen Kuo, the cold-blooded upstart who no one in Jiangcheng knew. This extremely cold man not only bankrupted Lu Zhen’s company, but also abducted his daughter Lu Yan away to his mansion. Because of an accident, Lu Yan died and was reincarnated back to her father’s youth era. She watched as her teenage father hang out with a bunch of unruly teenagers, laughing wildly and loudly. He clutched Shen Kuo’s collar and patted his face as he mocked him, “Come on, call me dad.” Everyone knows that there are two men in the seventh grade who can’t afford to be messed with. Lu Zhen, a wealthy and precious son, arrogant and domineering, wicked to the bone. And Shen Kuo, poor and silent, with a strong fist and muscular body. The two are incompatible rivals. Recently, classmates discovered that a girl was following Lu Zhen and her appearance was a 9 out of 10 like him. The little girl was so cute, always following him like a little tail. He was frustrated and threw money at her, “For the last time, don’t follow me!” The little girl finally stopped following him later on. He was not used to it until he saw his rival Shen Kuo pressing her against the wall, asking in a cold voice, “Do you like me?” She was so scared and said sobbingly, “Like… like…” Lu Zhen was about to explode, “Messing with my daughter? How about you call me your dad!” Shen Kuo, “Dad.” Lu Zhen, “…”

## My Thoughts on Back to the Years When My Father Was in School "Back to the Years When My Father Was in School" is a web novel that took me on an emotional rollercoaster, and I have to say, I mostly enjoyed the ride. The premise alone – a daughter traveling back in time to her parents' high school years – is enough to pique anyone's interest. It blends comedy, drama, and a touch of mystery with a sweet romance, creating a story that's hard to put down. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the unique concept and the promise of heartwarming familial relationships. The idea of the female lead (FL) interacting with her teenage parents, helping them navigate their own lives, felt fresh and exciting. It's not your typical rebirth and revenge story, which was a welcome change. ### What Works Well Many readers praised the central relationship between the FL and the male lead (ML), Shen Kuo. Despite the initial age gap (due to the time travel), their connection felt genuine and sweet. I found myself rooting for them, especially given the ML's tragic backstory and his unwavering devotion to the FL. I also appreciated the author's portrayal of the FL's parents; they were well-rounded characters with their own flaws and desires, making their interactions with the FL both hilarious and touching. The novel excels at portraying love in its many forms, whether familial or romantic. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the novel overall, there were a few aspects that didn't quite sit right with me. Some found the introduction of additional male characters who develop feelings for the FL unnecessary and somewhat strange, considering her connection to their friend. Also, the FL's initial negative attitude toward her father, calling him names simply because he was rich, felt a bit harsh and lacked nuance. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several reviewers pointed out issues with the later part of the story, particularly after the FL disappears and is reborn. The plot elements introduced to resolve loose ends, like the long-lost aunt and the FL's amnesia, felt rushed and somewhat contrived. One reviewer mentioned that they wished the FL had retained her memories after being reborn, as the age difference became more jarring. Additionally, some found the ending incomplete, wishing for more details about the FL and ML's married life. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, "Back to the Years When My Father Was in School" is a captivating story that I would recommend to anyone looking for a heartwarming and emotional read. The unique premise, the well-developed characters, and the sweet romance make it a worthwhile experience. Just be prepared for a few bumps along the way.
