As a handsome, well-born rich kid, Young Master Lin had only one goal at school: get his diploma, then study abroad at his father's arrangement.
Lin Xiang spent two years messing around like that. Then, in his senior year, he was suddenly told that his father was going bankrupt.
Lin Xiang: "?"
The good news was that his grandfather had money and could save his father's company from disaster.
The bad news was that his grandfather revered intellectuals. He would save the company, but Lin Xiang had to get into A University within a year.
To keep living as a rich kid, Lin Xiang reluctantly agreed.
He began studying like crazy, only to despair when he realized that, with his current academic foundation, getting into A University was harder than climbing to heaven.
Just as he was on the verge of a breakdown, something calling itself the "Persona System" came to him.
"Everyone has a persona. Your persona score measures how well you embody your own persona," the System explained. "Choose someone to observe, and in a year, his persona score will be your college entrance exam score."
Among the list the System provided, one person's persona score stood out as exceptionally high.
That person was his sworn enemy: the school's heartthrob, top student, and bookworm, Young Master Wen, Wen Xinjue.
Lin Xiang stared at the score of 750, his eyes lighting up, and chose Wen Xinjue without hesitation.
To protect his walking college entrance exam score, Lin Xiang put aside their enmity and volunteered to be Wen Xinjue's deskmate.
When friends from another school came looking for his deskmate, Lin Xiang blocked the doorway and said warily, "You're trying to get him to skip class and go to an internet cafe, right? Not while I'm here!"
Wen Xinjue looked at the person with the most truancy records in the entire school. "..."
When a girl passed his deskmate a love letter, Lin Xiang lectured him with a straight face. "Which is more important, your future or love?"
Wen Xinjue expressionlessly reached into Lin Xiang's desk and pulled out a large stack of opened love letters, successfully silencing him.
At first, Wen Xinjue's persona score stayed in good shape. Lin Xiang gazed contentedly at the score of 750, thinking he had nothing to worry about, without noticing that his deskmate's gaze was growing increasingly strange.
Then, one day, Lin Xiang was horrified to discover that Wen Xinjue's persona score was dropping by one point every hour.
But his deskmate was still sitting in the classroom every day, attending lessons and studying with him!
When the score had dropped so far that he couldn't even get into a second-tier university, Lin Xiang gave up trying to be tactful. During a break, he dragged Wen Xinjue into the restroom and demanded, "Tell me, did you start dating someone?!"
A smile tugged at Wen Xinjue's usually impassive face.
"Not yet." He lowered his head and kissed Lin Xiang's hand, asking softly, "Want to get into A University?"
"Dump that lousy System. I'll get you in."
