Lin Zhi: "Sober Performer"
Appearance: recognized as a scholar, well-behaved and quiet, always ranked among the top three in grade.
Inside: She is rebellious at heart and extremely hates exam-oriented education, but she has to act as a "perfect student" in order to meet her parents' expectations. Her alliance with Shen Juan is the only breathing space for her to be her true self.
Shen Juan: "Gentle Guardian"
Appearance: A bright and cheerful academic, a genius in science, and very popular.
Internal: He is deeply critical of the education system, and his efforts are to have enough power to protect the people around him.
In a provincial key high school where scores are the only theory, top student Shen Juan and academic god Lin Zhi appear to be rivals on the academic performance list, but in reality they are "revolutionary comrades" who share secrets. They form a learning alliance to fight against the absurdity of exam-oriented education and help each other and their classmates overcome the difficulties of family, psychology and system. In the end, they not only "ran in both directions" to their ideal university, but also defined an indestructible youthful friendship that transcended love.
