Zhou Yan was admitted to a prestigious school by plagiarizing his paper, but he didn't know that the original author of the paper was his silent classmate Lin Zhao. After three years of re-study, Lin Zhao worked hard every step of the way, just to regain his own name; while Zhou Yan quietly became an unknown academic genius despite being cast aside. The exposure of the school newspaper editor-in-chief Su Tang, the machinations of the rich second generation Shen Huai, and the betrayal of the traitor Chen Ye all involved the two in a storm that tore the campus apart.
