Nine Years of Compulsory Education, One More Time

Written by

"Intercepted aircraft number..."

"New arrivals: ..."

On July 5, 2023, Lin Ze was caught in a plane crash.

He thought he would be buried beneath the blue sea and sky, but when he opened his eyes, he found himself in neither heaven nor hell...

Three large characters stood before him: Admissions Office.

Lin Ze: "..."

What had he done to deserve such an intense recruitment process?

Having escaped death, he returned to school.

First, there were classes:

The ancient poems they had to memorize by rote in Chinese class could summon wind and rain. Simple arithmetic in math class could earn them money to save their lives... The familiar nine years of compulsory education had transformed into increasingly difficult games, one after another.

Second, there were exams:

Monsters in a huge mansion; seven days of battling nightmares; a mission spanning a hundred years...

Third, there was romance:

A scarlet running track, a grassy field strewn with falling ribbons.

Jiang Tian, covered in blood, paid no heed to his wounds. He held up his trophy and ran to Lin Ze. "The school rules don't say we can't date in high school... Class representative Lin, will you be my boyfriend?"

Lin Ze's eyes reddened. He took a deep breath, then nodded. "I didn't like you at first, but I guess you're not so bad now."

Jiang Tian grinned. "Keep denying it. I know you fell for me at first sight."

From that day on, everyone at school knew the two big shots in Class 22 were together.

Jiang Tian x Lin Ze

Sharp-tongued top who became the BKING through sheer talent x laid-back, lazy, clever bottom

An unconventional, lighthearted ensemble survival story

[Please note: The romance is limited (in my opinion).]

Premise: Civilization is passed down across time, again and again
