    This book is essential reading for high school students, and I hope it will be helpful to you. However, don't feel lost or unsure about which schools to apply to during your three years of high school. Just focus on improving your scores first, and you won't be so passive when choosing schools after the exams. The same principle applies to junior high school.

    Highly recommend the fourth story, [Admiration]!!! An ensemble piece, the portrayal of youthful friendship is truly excellent!!! In a single moment, Cui Tingchao, who was admitted to a top university, transmigrates into a bullied 180-pound high school freshman. A scheming best friend, a bullying classmate, and a scumbag senior all join the fray. The system's mission is to increase the "satisfaction" (a sense of satisfaction or enjoyment) to escape this world. When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Cui Tingchao doesn't choose revenge; instead, she chooses to study hard and find a bright future for the original owner. A woman's independence opens up a vast world; her gaze should be fixed on distant horizons. Later, Cui Tingchao successfully carved out a path for herself in the highly competitive Jinku Tea Forum, standing on the podium with her teammates, achieving a three-peat. A young man with lofty ambitions, worthy of the eternal flow of the Yellow River.
