Chen Yiming believes that as long as he works hard enough, he can change his destiny.
He is a boy from the county town, ranked 47th in the county in the high school entrance examination, and is stuck in the admission line of a key middle school. My father fell and was injured at the construction site, and my mother carried the whole family alone. He chose to stay in the county No. 1 Middle School - not because he didn't want to go to the bigger world, but because the scholarship here could help his family pay off their debts.
Shen Qianchen didn't believe anything.
She is a genius, so talented that she doesn't need to work hard, but she has lost her desire for everything because of it. She read the physics competition questions because she was "bored", drew the garbage dump behind the teaching building because she "didn't want to go to class", and ranked first in the grade because "she had nothing else to do anyway". Everyone envies her, but only she knows that this kind of life of "can do anything" is more suffocating than being unable to do anything.
There is also Song Ci - the top scorer in the city's high school entrance examination. The reason for giving up a famous school in the provincial capital and coming to the county No. 1 Middle School is "I want to see how people without resources learn." The truth is that his parents' divorce lawsuit was raging and he just wanted to escape to a place where no one knew him.
There is also Lin Zhi - Chen Yiming's junior high school classmate, with average grades, average family background, and seemingly ordinary life. Her biggest wish is just to "don't let my mother think that all she gets from selling vegetables all her life is a decent one."
The four people met in the teaching building of No. 1 Middle School in the county, and their ten-year entanglement began.
