Ye Huaizhi, a provincial graduate who had spent ten years studying in the Great Sheng Dynasty, is unexpectedly transported by a strange meteorite on the eve of his palace examination to a classroom at a key high school in Haicheng in the 21st century. Forced to join the gaokao cram season as a “transfer student,” he faces a completely unfamiliar world, subjects that upend everything he knows (math, physics, chemistry, and English), suffocating pressure, and a deskmate who has no regard for proper etiquette. He has no choice but to set aside his dream of becoming the top scholar and painfully work his way through five years of past gaokao papers and three years of practice exams, hoping to survive in the modern world and figure out how to get home. Through one embarrassing episode after another, misunderstandings, hilarious clashes, and mutual support, he and Zhou Jingyao form a deep bond and overcome challenge after challenge. They improve together and ultimately not only get into the top universities of their dreams, but also find their place and purpose in a whole new era, and discover a sincere love.
