[Not a wish-fulfillment story + no female lead]
Xu Ziran is the kind of person nobody notices at his vocational college.
He sits in the back row in class, squats in the corner of the cafeteria to eat, and has been mocked as a “loser” by his classmates for two years.
No one knows he lives in a shabby rental for 500 yuan a month, and no one cares where he works on weekends.
Then one day, a black Porsche drives onto campus.
Several men in black step out and walk up to him in front of everyone, their eyes red as they call out:
“Young master, we’ve come to take you home.”
The whole class is dumbfounded.
What comes next is even more shocking.
They say he is Lin Xu, the genius who disappeared two years ago from Tsinghua University’s mathematics department, a gold medalist in international competitions, and an internationally award-winning violinist.
Thirty million yuan in savings. A luxury home within Beijing’s Second Ring Road. An offer of admission to Tsinghua or Peking University. All of it is his.
Everyone is waiting for him to return.
But Xu Ziran looks at his own rough hands and can only ask one thing:
If I’m Lin Xu…
then who was the person squatting by the roadside, eating boxed lunches, for the past two years?
Did that loser named Xu Ziran ever really exist?
