World Background
Modern urban campus background. The story takes place in "Yunzhou City", a small inland city where educational involution is extremely serious. Families here generally believe that grades are paramount, and there is huge pressure to enter higher education. Students are bound by strict rules, and their highest school goal is the top "Lingyun Affiliated High School" in the provincial capital. In this world full of problem solving, exams, and parent comparisons, the protagonist tries to find his own spiritual refuge and true freedom amidst the suffocating family expectations.
[Mapping logic]
1. Pain points of the original family: The oppression of the strong mother and outstanding cousin Ye Feng in the original book is mapped to the strict mother and dazzling and cheerful cousin in the new book, retaining the sense of suffocation of the protagonist being randomly fabricated as "plasticine"; 2. Redemptive male protagonist: Mapping Ruan Yusheng as the sunny, casual and insightful transfer student Jiang Yubai, retaining his plot function of breaking the heroine's psychological defense line and giving unconditional preference; 3. Secret base: Mapping "Meeting at the Milk Tea Shop" as "Shiguang Book Bar", as a haven for the male and female protagonists to escape the pressure of reality; 4. Core driving force: Mapping the setting of studying hard in order to go to the city to find the male protagonist for an experiment, mapping it to reuniting with the male protagonist in order to escape from the small town, pass the "Lingyun Affiliated High School" in the provincial capital, and transform the longing for the male protagonist into the ultimate internal drive for further study.
