[Repeating a year + finding the light + mutual redemption + sweet and angsty romance + happy ending and comeback]
Once a genius student and aloof goddess, Su Moyu fails the college entrance exam. Devastated by her fall from the heights of academic glory, she resolutely decides to repeat the year, make a fresh start, and reclaim her place at the top.
Growing up in a shattered family has made her sensitive and suspicious, strong on the outside but fragile within. At Sucheng No. 1 High School, she meets Xia Qingyuan, whose grades are ordinary but whose family life is happy and loving. Xia is a ray of light in the depths of winter, warming Su Moyu's world.
She means to spend her brief year focused solely on her studies, all by herself. But Gu Yixiao, a chuunibyou boy with money to burn who usually takes nothing seriously, seems to have dropped his usual act and keeps squeezing up to her desk to ask for help with math... (Her inner monologue: Has he been possessed or something?)
Okay, all she wants is some peace and quiet... so why are these two determined to become her sidekicks?
“Looks like I've still got plenty of charm.” Since she can't get away from them, she figures this is nothing she can't handle... So she ties her hair into a high ponytail, then spends every day dragging her struggling best friend and the young master through their studies, determined to get them all into top universities.
