She thought he was the last school bully, but she didn't know that beneath that indifferent mask was the light of genius that could light up the entire night.
He thought she was a gentle transfer student, but he never thought that this ray of warmth could melt the wall of his heart that had been frozen for a long time.
Lin Xiaonuan transferred to the science class of a key middle school and became the classmate of Gu Yanshen, the school tyrant who was "last in ten thousand years". Everyone said that he was a scumbag who couldn't stand up to the wall. Only she saw the amazing flash of thinking behind those deliberately wrong answers.
When he shields her from danger on the basketball court, when his name jumps into the top ten on the monthly exam list, when they are the only ones left discussing difficult problems in the late-night classroom - the disguise begins to peel off, and true love quietly emerges.
But the hidden secret goes much deeper than that. Why should he hide his light? Why is she always tough and warm? When family crises, campus rumors, and life choices ensue, the two souls illuminate each other and grow together in the maze of youth.
From young high school to top universities, from Beijing alleys to Boston campus, from the hardships of entrepreneurship to the international stage - this is a two-way journey that spans ten years.
