After My Top Student Image Was Exposed

[Blurb]

Jiang Zhao of No. 6 High School is a ruthless ranking-chart slayer, with countless competition awards and a first-place finish on every exam.

When the results of the second-year class placement exams come out, Jiang Zhao's rank plummets to below 300, landing him in an ordinary class.

While all the students are passionately discussing it, Jian Yao, who comes dead last on every exam, says, "We're not in the same league. I couldn't care less."

Then, on the first day of school, Jiang Zhao is assigned to their class and becomes his deskmate.

The first day as deskmates:

Jian Yao leans against the wall and says lazily, "I never study, I'm at the bottom of the class, and I'm not responsible if you turn into a bad influence."

One day later:

Jiang Zhao pulls out a perfect-score mock competition exam paper covered in notes on how to solve each problem. "You never study?"

Jian Yao: ...

Then he opens an image of Jian Yao's high school entrance exam results, perfect scores in every subject except Chinese. "You're at the bottom of the class?"

Jian Yao: ...

Later on:

Jian Yao reads a post on the school's confession wall that's gotten a hundred comments, then jokes to Jiang Zhao, "These people are saying you deliberately dropped into an ordinary class because you want to inspire me to get good grades with the power of love. Their imaginations are wild."

Jiang Zhao is silent for a moment, then asks, "Could you humor me?"

Kind-hearted little angel, secretly a top student and pretending to be a poor one, bottom x Proud, aloof on the outside but warm-hearted on the inside, top student gong

A school story with a touch of realism, one-on-one romance, and a happy ending.

P.S. This is a serious drama, somewhat realistic, and purely a school story. The everyday scenes are slow-paced, with sweet moments and a little angst. If you find it boring, click the X.

Please don't stir things up without any concrete evidence. No baseless claims of déjà vu.

If you accuse me of copying a plot, please provide solid evidence. Look up what counts as a common trope. If you insist on making unfounded claims, I suggest dropping the story. We'll both be happier.

Writing isn't easy. Please show some care for an author with a fragile heart. Thank you!
