Lin Zhe transmigrates into the body of an underachieving high school senior in a parallel world, and he's also the overlooked second son of a wealthy family. To earn spending money, his parents arrange for him to tutor his older brother Lin Feng's beautiful schoolmate girlfriend, Su Qingxue.
At their first meeting, the aloof, stunning Su Qingxue looks down on him as a “nepotism hire.” But when Lin Zhe casually opens Five Years of Gaokao, Three Years of Mock Exams and uses his ahead-of-his-time “mind mapping” technique and “test-setter's perspective” to breeze through the hardest problems, Su Qingxue goes from shock to admiration. For the first time, she realizes knowledge can be this sexy.
Tutoring turns from an “assignment” into a secret they both understand without a word. During countless quiet afternoons, he teaches her how to solve difficult problems, while she listens as he tells her about the vast world beyond her textbooks. The aloof campus beauty gradually lets down her guard around him. His teasing makes her blush, and when he argues with his older brother, she instinctively steps in front of him.
Lin Feng, his ever-perfect, dazzling older brother, is the first to notice something is wrong. He gently reminds Lin Zhe to “remember his place,” then uses invisible pressure to make life difficult for him within the family. Faced with mounting pressure from both his family and his brother, Lin Zhe stops hiding his abilities. In one public academic contest after another, he leaves his once-gifted brother in the dust.
It is amid this storm that Su Qingxue finally sees who can truly be her partner and guide in life. When she tears up the expensive gift Lin Feng gave her in front of everyone and walks resolutely toward Lin Zhe, the light in her eyes can no longer be concealed.
Lin Zhe finally discovers, too, that something even bigger may lie hidden behind his transmigration: a secret about this family, and perhaps even this entire world, waiting for him to uncover.
