Wan Tao and Long Cheng are notorious troublemakers among the senior students at their small-town high school. That is, until two beautiful top students, Xiao Ni'er and Tang Weiwei, devise a plan to tame them and tutor them. The boys turn over a new leaf, focus on their studies, and prepare for the college entrance exams. This is a great relief to Wang Yunjiang, their close friend.
At first, Wan Tao and Long Cheng agree to work with Xiao Ni'er and Tang Weiwei because they hope to spend time with them and win them over. But in the end, they are moved by the girls and devote themselves to their studies.
They each become the girls' boyfriends, but face obstacles from both school and family.
Under pressure from her family, Xiao Ni'er develops depression and is sent abroad, missing the college entrance exams. Tang Weiwei is framed by her stepmother and runs away from home, also missing the exams.
The wealthy Wan Tao tells his family he wants to study abroad, but in truth, he wants to go find Xiao Ni'er.
Long Cheng keeps his promise to Tang Weiwei and gets into university, waiting there for her to retake the exams, get into university, and come find him.
With the support and understanding of both their families, Wang Yunjiang and Qin Shiying become a couple and both get into the same prestigious university.
The young people can't expect their paths to growth and love to be smooth. In their studies and daily lives, they inevitably face interference from their families, schools, and society.
Wan Tao once told Wang Yunjiang, "The road to growing up and the road to love are bound to be full of thorns. That's not what matters. What matters is that the future we're sure of gives us the confidence and courage to cut our way through them."
