At this elite school, where grades and rules determine who comes out on top, student council president Gu Qichi and physics prodigy Lu Mingyu are recognized across campus as sworn enemies. Gu Qichi embodies discipline, cool-headed and meticulous; Lu Mingyu is carefree and unconventional, a star of academic competitions. From exam rankings to student events, they clash at every turn, each the other’s strongest rival.
But when they’re forced to become partners for an academic competition, their evenly matched rivalry quietly changes into something else. As they clash and work together through day and night of preparation, Gu Qichi is the first to see the softness and vulnerability behind his rival’s dazzling brilliance, and to recognize the feelings he can no longer suppress. So the student council president, who has always played by the rules, does something no one could have imagined: he begins an awkward but direct pursuit of Lu Mingyu, openly showing favoritism, confessing his feelings without hesitation, and even breaking the rules he set himself for Lu Mingyu.
Faced with such an intense love, Lu Mingyu, who hides his sensitivity behind a carefree façade, instinctively chooses to pull away. But when pressure from the outside world and obstacles from his family close in, Gu Qichi’s unwavering protection becomes his strongest support. From enemies to lovers, two proud souls are drawn to each other as they vie for the upper hand. Under Gu Qichi’s open pursuit, they gradually grow closer and ultimately deliver a perfect answer to the questions of love and growing up.
