Not long after Cheng Chiyin's debut, the authorities crack down on bad practices in the entertainment industry. Her laughably poor academic performance makes her a prime example. Her name trends, and she's plastered across every major website. Add her awkward acting, and she's officially branded a pretty but academically hopeless airhead.
Agent: “Let's lie low for a while. Go back to school and study.”
Cheng Chiyin, back from quick transmigration: “Okay.”
Back in her high school classroom, Cheng Chiyin suddenly finds herself thinking clearly.
She acts in dramas, studies, and even enters academic competitions on the side.
From the preliminaries to the league rounds and then the national finals, she wins gold medals in two events with a commanding lead.
The math committee leaders say amiably, “The national team needs talent like you. How about the International Mathematical Olympiad?”
A physics professor at Jinghua looks at her with admiration. “The physicist with the strongest math skills and the mathematician with the strongest physics skills. Do you want to be the next Edward Witten?”
This year's IMO is hailed as a contest between human and AI intelligence.
With three solutions, Cheng Chiyin wins the first special prize in over a decade, defeats the AI Isaac, and goes down in IMO history.
After returning home from the competition, she receives offers from the world's top universities, while the country's top two universities compete to recruit her.
Cheng Chiyin looks at the motto on her high school building: “Go to the countryside, go to the frontiers, go wherever our country needs you.” Her gaze turns northwest.
Cheng Chiyin: “I think Northwestern Polytechnical University sounds pretty good. How about learning about rocket engines?”
P.S.:
This story is set in a fictional world. The competition dates and formats are based on reality, but may differ.

A friend's upcoming novel
Back to My Teenage Top-Tier Star Days by Nalan Shiqi
At 24, Lin Su discovers celebrity fandom for the first time and becomes a fan of national top-tier star Xu Jiaze.
Xu Jiaze is a dazzling light, the ideal man, and his concert tickets are almost impossible to get.
Before she can even finish making a wish while trying for tickets, she transmigrates and runs straight into the teenage version of Xu Jiaze.
Lin Su: “...I wanted to see him, but I didn't mean like this!”
-
What's it like to transmigrate 13 years into the past and meet your idol as a teenager?
Before transmigrating, Lin Su: “Xu Jiaze must have grown up surrounded by so much love to become such a wonderful person.”
After transmigrating, Lin Su: “...How can someone's youth be filled with so much darkness?”
School bullying, a broken family, separation from friends, romantic misfortune, one disaster after another... Good thing she came!
Xu Jiaze is having a run of bad luck, so she dispels it and brings him good fortune.
Xu Jiaze gets injured playing ball, so she chants a spell to stop the bleeding.
Xu Jiaze loses his puppy, so she uses divination to find it.
Xu Jiaze: “...Is there anything you can't do?”
Lin Su says uncertainly, “Leave you?”
-
Xu Jiaze encounters the light three times in his life.
The first time is in the height of summer, 2008, when he meets her for the first time on his timeline.
The second time is in early spring, 2021, when she falls for him on her timeline.
The third time is in late autumn, 2021, when they find each other again on their shared timeline.

My own upcoming novel
They Say I'm a God
Sheng Yang plays a game where there's nothing but endless lava and abysses, and creatures of various races wander through darkness and chaos.
She spends three years using her paintbrush to decorate this world with stars and moons, and to sketch out wilderness and forests.
When the world is finally complete, Sheng Yang happily closes the game, thinking she's beaten it. Then she accidentally drops her phone into water, and it never turns on again.
After that, the whispers in her ears, the moisture and seaweed beside her bed when she wakes up, the spotless house she returns to, and urban legends spreading across the world...
All of it makes Sheng Yang feel that something is off about this world.
One day, she comes home early and flings open the door. A handsome man dressed in rags is folding her blanket. When he sees her, he panics and dives into the bathtub, vanishing in an instant. A fish tail flicks past.
Sheng Yang is left utterly bewildered.
Not long after, a golden crow with wings that blot out the sky flies over the city. Coastal residents claim to hear a sea demon's song, while visitors at a bustling tourist attraction see a man stretching inside a blooming flower bud...
Urban legends become reality, and people around the world are gripped by fear.
*
The creatures of another world pray day and night, and at last their god arrives. With a single stroke, the god cleaves open the sky and sketches stars and moons, then scatters wilderness and forests across the land. The world, covered in lava and abysses for countless millennia, comes alive again.
They long to share their joy with their god, but at that moment, they feel their god's presence fading away.
They vow to find their god.
Theme: Stay positive
Dad, do you still remember the readers waiting for you at the bottom of another pit? The child is dying...
Damn, when will the pit next door be filled in?
It was said to go to the countryside, to the frontier, to the places that the motherland needs, but it needs a lot of space to describe, but it ended hastily. It only mentioned a little bit, and it felt unfinished. I had nowhere to vent my emotions. I was depressed in my heart. Aerospace was only mentioned a little bit, and I don't know if the engine was completed. In the end, where did the protagonist reach?
That's it? I have to say that the pace of this article is really too fast and too compact. I feel that many things are not explained clearly. It is obvious that it is not as good as the article about athletes. But Dada, I will not give up. I will always wait for Dada. Come on Dada.
It's really rushed_(:з)∠)_I feel like I can start writing more. There's not much progress in the emotional line, and the scientific research is also mentioned in one stroke. I've been writing very briefly since imo. I kind of ordered a big bowl of rice by myself. I felt that it was delicious and satisfying, but then I ate half of it and realized it was gone (/_\
Do we need to understand this emotional drama? (Crying)
It feels like it's ending in a hurry
This is too fast, right? Let us imagine the emotional drama by ourselves. Is this the case? We also have to imagine the career line by ourselves?
Reading the copy, I thought the protagonist would end his career in the entertainment industry early, and then write a lot about his research and achievements in rocket engines in the northwest, but that didn't happen, the space was very small.
