Xie Jue is a poor-performing, unruly student, the one who gives the teachers of Class 1, Grade 11 the biggest headache.
Chi Hanmo is a top student who rarely speaks, universally recognized by teachers and classmates as the aloof academic genius of their grade.
Other than being in the same class, the two have nothing in common.
Until one math lesson during a rainstorm, when the half-asleep Xie Jue is called on by the teacher. The bald math teacher smiles as he asks him to solve the impossibly difficult final problem.
Xie Jue: Are you out of your mind?
He walks up to the board, looks at the jumble of numbers, and habitually writes, "Answer: 1."
He never pays attention in class anyway. Might as well annoy the bald math teacher. Maybe he'll stop disturbing Xie Jue's naps.
But when he turns around, he finds all his classmates and the teacher staring at him in shock. One of the "classmates" below even has his own face.
Xie Jue: "????"
Wait... then who am I? Xie Jue looks down. His uniform is neat and tidy, and he's no longer wearing the death-rock-style black skull T-shirt he put on that morning!
He and the aloof top student Chi Hanmo have swapped bodies.
They've taken over each other's bodies.
-
Academic genius Chi Hanmo lays down three rules with Xie Jue.
The body swap is mysterious, so they have to act according to each other's personalities in their everyday lives.
When Chi Hanmo is wearing Xie Jue's face, he can't pay attention in class, act like a good student, volunteer answers, skip his weekly hangouts with the guys, or lose a fight.
Xie Jue, meanwhile, can't skip class, get into fights, argue with classmates in the classroom, and has to sneak over every day with his homework so Chi Hanmo can help him finish it.
Xie Jue: This sounds exhausting. That's no way to live.
-
They make the rules, but they don't work.
Xie Jue can't stop himself from sleeping in class, talking back to the bald dean, skipping class, playing games at an internet cafe, and even going to an alley to rescue Chi Hanmo, who's wearing his body, before joining him in beating a whole gang of punks from another school into the ground.
After the fight, Xie Jue, bruised and battered, stands before Chi Hanmo with his usual swagger. He expects the guy to scold him coldly again, but instead Chi Hanmo's expression softens, and he asks, "Are you okay?"
Xie Jue: "?"
What kind of new scheme is this to get back at him?
-
Xie Jue keeps an eye on him for a while, but still can't figure out what Chi Hanmo is up to.
Before, whenever Xie Jue broke their "act like each other" agreement, Chi Hanmo would get back at him with a cold expression, then drag him to the desk and force him to do his homework.
But lately, Chi Hanmo has hardly argued with him, and he's been treating him more and more considerately.
And what's even more ridiculous... Chi Hanmo pulls out the list they'd made of possible causes for the body swap and points to the last item, leaning over to whisper:
"We haven't tried this one."
Xie Jue glances at the paper, freezes, and turns bright red from his neck to the tips of his ears.
Chi Hanmo persists. "Should we try kissing?"
"Go to hell!"
#Is he trying to make a move on me?!#
Xie Jue jumps back in shock, then forces himself to calmly work on the problem in front of him, refusing with his words. "I'm busy. You wouldn't want to delay the arrival of a god-tier scholar, would you... Haha, this problem's kind of interesting."
Then he hears Chi Hanmo sigh and tap the worksheet helplessly.
"Erase the 1. This is a proof question."

Blurb:
Meng Le is a livestream shopping host.
The chaotic kind.
Today, his livestream persona is a divorced parent raising two kids and working hard to earn money for formula.
Tomorrow, he's a canary who was abandoned after being seduced, now making money to support himself.
The day after, he's an innocent college student five million yuan in debt. If he doesn't earn money fast enough to pay it back, his black-hearted creditor will take him away as a lover (x).
Meng Le thinks anyone can tell he's joking. Surely no one actually takes this stuff seriously, right?
[AAA Building Materials, Boss Qin]: "Little Le, are you starting your livestream late today? Did your creditor force you into something again?"
When Meng Le first saw this private message in his inbox, he thought the other person was just playing along with his nonsense.
After all, that username sounded like it belonged to a troll.
He sent a bunch of random replies, then started acting crazy again once he went live.
After all, he only had a few dozen viewers. Without some entertainment, he wouldn't sell anything.
"I'm not exaggerating about these spicy strips. My baby hasn't had milk for three months, just spicy strips, and has already grown two meters tall."
"People ask if these chicken feet have ever had a job. They're not me. Why are they still so plump after going to work and getting beaten down by life?"
As the comments filled with "hahahaha," Boss Qin, whose fan badge had leveled up from watching the livestream, posted a pinned comment:
"Kids shouldn't eat spicy strips."
"I understand. You've got a lot weighing on your shoulders."
[User AAA Building Materials, Boss Qin ordered 20 portions of chicken feet]
Meng Le: "?"
This Boss Qin from AAA Building Materials is even more random than I am.
-
Until one day, after ending his livestream, he lies in bed scrolling through his phone to help himself fall asleep.
A promotional-style short video catches his eye.
"Shocking! Turns out netizens have reasons for acting so random! The handsome young CEO of a top-100 company is worth over a hundred million, and his username is [AAA Building Materials, Boss Qin]! It's just like the names my random-loving sisters use!"
Meng Le jolts upright, though he's practically on his deathbed. He scrutinizes the account screenshot in the video... The username is the same as that of the random big spender in his livestream, and so are the profile picture and user level!
Unable to believe it, he clicks into the big spender's profile and is horrified to find a blue V badge: verified corporate CEO.
Then he opens his private-message chat with AAA Boss Qin.
Two minutes ago.
[Lelele Makes Money]: "Hubby, (screaming, writhing, crawling around, doing sit-ups on the spot) Thanks for spending money on me today, hubby boss!"
"."
Meng Le falls into deep thought.
As he's holding the message to unsend it
[The other person has read your message]
And sends back a blushing emoji.
#So he really wasn't joking around
#You're making me look like a total nutjob
#Wait, Boss Qin, why are you asking when we can go register our marriage together?
An online wisecracker who's shy and easily flustered in person, an adorable bottom
X
A CEO top who is clueless about the internet, innocent, devoted, and direct
