Also known as I’m the Big Sister
Huo Yongxi is the sole heir to the powerful Huo crime family, and she’s top-tier in pedigree, looks, and fighting skills.
Tired of the hypocrisy at her elite school, she hides her identity and runs off to a regular public school.
She thought she could keep her head down and stay out of trouble. Instead, she’s thrown straight into D Class, the school’s notorious problem class!
These delinquents excel at fighting, cutting class, and provoking teachers. They act like the word “studying” is their sworn enemy.
The young lady just wants to huddle in a corner and quietly work through her textbooks, but trouble, taunts, and provocations find her every day.
She sighs. “So you won’t listen to reason, huh?”
“Fine, then I’ll beat some sense into you!”
Before long, the underachievers surrender with their hands raised. “Stop, stop, big sis! We’ll study hard from now on!”
But getting D Class in line is only the beginning.
Other classes refuse to accept her, younger students pick fights, and even the hotheads from the boys’ school next door come looking for trouble...
The young lady’s peaceful life is completely ruined.
Huo Yongxi pounds the table in frustration. “I just want to be a normal student and study!”
(This isn’t simply a sweet, feel-good school romance. It mainly follows the heroine’s growth through adolescence. She has a bad temper and will argue and fight with the male lead.)
The gentle, dazzling top student: A student council president who disapproves of violence, yet somehow always happens to pass by her
Her crime-family sworn brother, loyal as a hyena: Wherever big sis goes, he goes too, always ready to protect her
The school bully from the boys’ school next door: She beat him so badly in a one-on-one fight that he landed in the hospital, but he still can’t get her out of his mind
Her possessive, clingy childhood friend: He’s been attached to her since they were kids, hopelessly dependent on her and liable to snap at any moment
