Summer Painkiller

Mingde High School has a "bunch of weirdos" who are famous far and wide.

Lin Yizhi looks like a socially anxious girl who wears black-rimmed glasses and walks close to the walls. In secret, she's a wildly imaginative web-fiction superstar with millions of fans.

An Zhihe is a polished, self-serving heiress who always has her phone in hand, determined to use the whole world as the backdrop for her selfies.

Fu Zhiyang is a sociable Alpha who carries a DSLR and walks an Alaskan Malamute. She's always falling in love and always running away.

And Qi Yao, a top-tier high-level Alpha and the perpetually cold-faced top student in their grade, is forced to hang out with this bizarre bunch.

Later, more "odd characters" join the group:

There's Zhou He, Lin Yizhi's future deskmate. The two of them turn class into a comedy show featuring the "Ruthless Twin Stars" whenever they're together.

And there's Ji Mingxi, the stone-faced student council president, who carries a stack of demerit slips and forcibly keeps the crazies in line every day.

·

Relationships in this noisy circle are a complete mess.

Today, An Zhihe and Zhou He are fighting over snacks. Tomorrow, Fu Zhiyang will have made Ji Mingxi fly into a rage. Even the aloof Qi Yao sometimes does things no one can make sense of.

·

In this summer filled with cicadas and hormones, they can't stand one another, yet they're bound tightly together.

They all think they can stay this carefree and crazy forever.

It takes many years for Lin Yizhi to understand that this chaotic time was the only painkiller she had to fend off every hardship in the rest of her life.

Content warnings:

1. A female ensemble story. The romance is hidden among lots of ridiculous daily life, so choose your ship with care.

2. ABO setting, with no melodramatic heat cycles.

3. Hilarious school life early on, followed by a bittersweet separation later (with plenty of heartbreak).

Theme: Study hard, keep improving, and don't date too young
