However, since I’m an undergraduate and thus do not have an advisor, nobody in the campus knows me well enough to prove that it’s not the case. They do promise(verbally) that they won’t interfere if I’m working on my own.

Will the university sign a copyright assignment?

Also, you seem to be in China.  It's the people's code.  Ask the
university why they are claiming ownership to something that belongs
to the people.
