[Rebirth and redemption + two academic aces + striking contrast + lighthearted campus comedy + face-slapping revenge]
In her previous life, Xu Zhi endured everything and tried to be sensible, yet was driven into a corner. As her family fell apart and her loved ones died, the only one who helped her was Lu Chenye, the school bully feared by the entire campus, who secretly paid her medical bills.
Reborn, Xu Zhi tore up her miserable script and became a clear-eyed firecracker!
She saved her mother, protected the bookstore, dealt with despicable relatives, and even charged into a school brawl to haul the bully, who was on the verge of being expelled, back to the bookstore for tutoring.
The whole school was in an uproar, and the anonymous forum exploded:
[Breaking! Sweet, well-behaved sophomore girl storms the school bully’s turf and falls hard!]
Everyone thought Xu Zhi was crazily in love with the bully and waited to see him teach her a brutal lesson.
But in reality, things went like this:
Xu Zhi tapped the desk coolly. “Vocabulary today.”
Lu Chenye clenched his jaw, his face stern. “I’m not studying.”
Three minutes later, the school’s fiercest boy sat down, his ears red. “...Which page?”
A scheming white lotus, relatives demanding repayment, a privileged young master rigging the game behind the scenes?
Armed with surveillance footage, a voice recorder, and perfect test papers, Xu Zhi crushed them all from a position of absolute superiority!
Meanwhile, the unruly boy quietly put away his fists, pulled out the toughest problems, and stunned everyone, while protecting her so thoroughly that not even a crack showed.
The whole school waited for the bully to dump his “clingy girl.” Then, on graduation day, Lu Chenye cornered her outside the bookstore, his eyes red, and coaxed her softly:
“Back then, when people said you had a crush on me, I was secretly happy for ages... Now can I be the one to pursue you?”
Xu Zhi raised an eyebrow. “No need. You’ve already been approved for a permanent position.”
