Lin Chen is a struggling senior in high school, the textbook definition of a loser in everyone's eyes: he wears a faded school uniform, ranks at the bottom of his class, and has spent years being bullied and mocked by rich kids like Wang Hao. He doesn't even have the courage to look at Su Qingying, the school's beauty.
Then an accident awakens an old jade pendant left behind by his grandfather. It grants him an incredible memory and quick reflexes, while also unlocking the talent he had suppressed for years. Math problems that once stumped him become child's play, and he easily hits back at those who used to bully him.
Perfect scores on weekly tests, first place in his grade at midterms, solving international problems... Lin Chen's comeback stuns the whole school. Those who once laughed at him can now only look up to him. The rich kid Wang Hao provokes him time and again, only to suffer face-slapping at every turn. His mockery turns to fear, and he eventually becomes a laughingstock across the school.
The aloof school beauty, Su Qingying, is also drawn to this boy who has suddenly transformed. First curious about him, she soon starts asking him for help with her studies, then openly stands up for him and boldly shows her affection. The goddess who once seemed impossibly out of reach becomes his most steadfast supporter.
When Lin Chen stands on the awards podium in the spotlight, holding his competition trophy, with Su Qingying smiling warmly at his side, he looks back on the contempt and bullying he once endured and proves that even a seed buried in the dust can break through the soil and shine with dazzling brilliance. This is a passionate coming-of-age story about turning one's life around, face-slapping, and winning love and respect. It's packed with satisfying moments and never lets up.
