A Midsummer Dream

Ye Mi always thought she had been dealt a terrible life. Born in a remote town to a poor family, with weak and timid parents, she herself was mild-mannered and slow to act. The boy she liked treated her as a backup, and she was bullied at school. Then one day, she met a girl named Xia Lai. Xia Lai looked exactly like Ye Mi, but had a life completely different from hers: she came from the bustling imperial capital, drove luxury cars, lived in a villa, and had a bold, fiery personality. She was every inch a princess of a wealthy family. Yet the princess was just as dissatisfied with her own life. Excitedly, she suggested, "Let's switch places!" The two hit it off and began exchanging lives. - After moving into the Xia family home, Ye Mi was always cautious and careful, afraid she would slip up and give herself away. But lately, the Xia family had made a surprising discovery... Had their little troublemaker really gone tame? She used to be rebellious, unruly, and hot-tempered. Now she was humble, polite, gentle, and always smiling. She used to hate studying, skip class, and fail her exams. Now she was top of the class in every subject, astonishing everyone. Ye Mi felt she had finally received the affirmation and affection she had never known before. She had a thoughtful family and friends who stood up for her, things she had once longed for but could never have in her little town. But most importantly, why had that rebellious rich-kid childhood friend who'd supposedly grown up with Xia Lai started looking at her differently lately? - Xia Lai was born dazzling, but she was also bold, rebellious, and unruly. Her family disliked her and called her a little troublemaker. After moving into Ye Mi's home, the little devil let her claws out, and she was right in her element. A meddlesome relative looking for trouble? Run them off! "You think I'm a pushover just because I haven't shown my claws? Even a tiger fallen on hard times is still bigger than a cat..." A scumbag bully at school? Turn the tables on them! "You dare stir up trouble right under my nose? Nobody who's ever dared bully me was born yet!" A greasy jerk trying to hit on her? Crush him! "What kind of trash are you to make a fool of yourself in front of me? You're like a bat with chicken feathers tied to it, forgetting what kind of bird you are..." The people of Xi Town all said that the once timid little girl from the Ye family had changed. Ever since she hit her head that time, she'd gone crazy. Even crazier, later on someone saw her pin the town's famously aloof heartthrob against a tree. Her eyes glinted with a teasing smile as she said, "Good student, I think I've fallen for you. What should I do?" * [Gentle, steadfast top student x Rebellious rich kid] [Bold, rebellious heiress x Scheming, aloof heartthrob] Dual storyline, two female leads.
