[Reborn + campus comeback + strong heroine (personal growth) + anti-bullying + top student lends a hand + underachiever turns into top student, feel-good story]
In her previous life, Cheng Yiyi was forgotten and overlooked after her parents divorced. She worked as hard as she could just to get into a second-tier university, only to hear that top student Ruan Shiming had pulled strings to secure a recommendation to Tsinghua for his girlfriend.
Given another chance at life, she vows to change her fate, stepping over the fragments of a time loop.
Her stepmother schemes to make her miss the high school entrance exam? She tears apart the facade of family affection.
Ding Yiling, a privileged student, bullies her and pushes her down the stairs? She joins forces with the other victims to expose the corruption.
She thinks getting carried by the top student into a recommended university is a shortcut? In this new life, she learns that the only thing that can lift her up is the pen in her own hand.
From the troublemakers at Third High to the top class at First High, from winning a national chemistry competition to taking first place at winter camp, she climbs higher despite doubt and schemes.
Only when she stands before Huaqing University does she discover that the top student rumored to have “given in for love” is standing in the shadows, shielding her from the last falling stone.
“I don't want the recommendation spot anymore. But no one can take what's mine.”
