Experimental High School: Youth Against the Wind

[Setting and Tone] Setting: Jiangcheng Experimental High School, a school with strict standards and an irrepressible streak of youthful passion. Tone: Humorous, lively, and inspirational. The story centers on the intense push and pull between top students and slackers, and the underdog rise of a poor boy, capturing the most authentic, sunny, noisy side of school life. [Main Character Profiles] Mo Lingze (Class 2, Grade 10): Second in the whole school and the campus heartthrob. He looks aloof and chaste, but inside is a proud, pampered cat. His goal is to surpass Ling Yutao and, along the way, protect their friendship that feels like childhood sweethearts. Ling Yutao (Class 1, Grade 10): Top student in the whole school and a cool, beautiful campus queen. She has the true bearing of a refined scholar and pays no attention to Mo Lingze’s competitiveness, focusing solely on her books. Ling Yuxin (Class 2, Grade 10): The school’s most spirited student and Ling Yutao’s twin sister. Lively and energetic, she’s the class’s chief mood-maker and often stirs up trouble during lessons. Xia Yu & Wang Xiao (Class 2, Grade 10): The notorious “troublemaker” and “sports champion.” They’re thorns in their teachers’ sides, but they put an end to bullying at school. Their grades are at the bottom of the class, but loyalty is written all over their faces. Zhao Yuxuan (Class 2, Grade 10): A quiet student from a poor family, but the class’s most loyal “hidden core.” He feels inferior because of his family’s circumstances, but Mo Lingze, Xia Yu, and Wang Xiao pester him into becoming their closest buddy. [Main Conflicts and Highlights] The “misfit” ecosystem of Class 2: The story revolves around Class 2, Grade 10. It’s home to the school’s most carefree slackers, its poorest top student, and its liveliest campus beauty. Their contrasts are the story’s biggest draw.
