The summer after the college entrance exams, an ordinary boy, You Zhenli, unexpectedly binds himself to a Self-Discipline System. Starting with earning his first 50 yuan by tidying his room, he follows the System's guidance to go jogging, read, and work out, gradually finding his way out of confusion.
In the morning light by the moat, he meets Su Qingyuan, sketching; among the shifting light and shadows of the library, he discusses tough physics problems with Lin Xi; amid the sweat of the gym, Chen Yao patiently guides him; at the restaurant where he works part-time, Zhao Yue steps in to help him out.
There is no earth-shattering comeback, only steady, gradual growth. From a waiter saving up for tuition to the founder of a tech company, the System rewards him with more than cash and attributes. Along the morning jogging trails, in the light of the library, and on the road as he travels, he comes to understand the ultimate meaning of self-discipline: taking control of his own life.
