    [High-Tech + Academic Achiever + System + Growth + No Harem + Realistic Flow] The story of an ordinary, academically challenged junior high school student who achieves a remarkable turnaround by acquiring a high-tech academic genius system. (The story is nearing system upgrade, unlocking new features: mind visualization. The university arc will see even more high-tech advancements!) While the system provides a cheat code, the core element remains "human"—human effort, human emotions, and human dignity. Li Tianyuan, an ordinary child from a factory worker's family in Jiangcheng. In September 2010, he scored 43 points in his entrance exam in mathematics. One late night, he activated the "Mathematical Star System." From then on, he refused his friends' invitations to basketball and internet cafes, starting with absolute values. At the end of his first year of junior high, he ranked 48th in his grade. In his second year, he began to get perfect scores in mathematics. He won a silver medal in the National Mathematics Competition. At the start of his third year, he was admitted to the top class, ranking 4th in his grade. In early October, he was selected for the "National Youth Mathematical Talent Program," one of only 60 people nationwide selected to train at Tsinghua University. He received the Outstanding Camper Award. His friend Zhao Lei, who was a math slacker in the first year of junior high, improved to 12th in the grade under his influence, going from "unable to get into high school" to "having a chance at a top high school." His rival Zhou Zihao went from looking down on him to acknowledging him as a competitor. Lin Wanqing, the top math genius in the grade, went from being indifferent to actively borrowing his notes, saying "I'll wait for you," and inviting him to study together during the summer vacation. He was getting very close to his goal—first winning the CMO gold medal, then the IMO gold medal, and being admitted to Tsinghua University without taking the entrance exam. This is not just a "slacker's comeback" story; it's a true story of "an ordinary kid climbing up step by step."

    This book is exceptionally well-written. The female protagonist travels back in time to study and promote Chinese culture. Her relationship with the male protagonist is a slow and steady one, and his character is incredibly relatable. He's calm but not cold; he seems aloof, but in reality, you find he's just like any other person, easily flustered by his friends' comments. Furthermore, he's incredibly respectful of women, maintaining boundaries while remaining polite. I'll never forget the memorable moment when the female protagonist played "Auld Lang Syne" in the piano shop—it evoked such strong emotions.

    The first thing to note is that it features two male protagonists, plus a rebirth and system element, but it meets the requirements. I must say, it's really good; the writing is incredibly detailed. However, it's not related to any global problems yet. The second one, in my opinion, perfectly matches your requirements. It's really good, I recommend reading it! ^ω^
