Nineteen-year-old Chen Xiaoxue, a girl from the countryside, failed to get into college. Her entrance exam score was clearly above the cutoff for vocational college, yet she was still forced to give up the chance to submit her applications.
To escape the blind dates and marriage her parents had arranged for her, she went to a big city and set up a stall selling clothes to make money.
She refused to give up. Whenever she had a spare moment, she kept studying, planning to take the exam again in the future.
Twenty-four-year-old art student Liu Jiacheng had retaken the entrance exam for six years, refusing to compromise on his dream of getting into the art academy he wanted. He worked as a teacher at an art prep school to earn money while quietly studying for the exam, vowing that next year he would get in. Otherwise, he would smash his drawing board and go haul bricks at a construction site.
The two young people, each carrying a dream, met in a big city where they had no one to rely on, and became each other’s warmth and light.
They joked that once they got into college, they would become a couple.
This is a life I have never experienced before
After reading it, the writing is quite good and the characters are quite fleshed out. Maybe it's an ordinary person around us
The subject matter is novel. It's the first time I've seen this kind of thing. It's quite nice. I recommend it.
