After waking up from a nap, Nan Xi, who had just achieved financial freedom, found herself in the body of a small-town delinquent girl whose parents had gone to the city for work and left her unsupervised. On top of a chaotic school and home life, she also had to look after her much younger, timid and introverted little brother.

After finally waiting for her parents to settle down in the city, they came back only to take her little brother with them, leaving Nan Xi behind all alone.

Nan Xi sighed. Fine. At least one of us got out. I'll have to change my own fate.

When Nan Xi rolled up her sleeves and prepared to study hard and change her fate through knowledge, she looked at the physics, chemistry, and biology textbooks on her desk and fell into deep self-doubt. In her previous life, she'd studied the humanities and gotten into college. Knowledge could change one's fate, sure, but with less than a year until the college entrance exams, could she still make it?

So Nan Xi, determined to forge ahead, set her sights on Gu Yan, the aloof academic genius at No. 1 High School. One evening after school, she cornered him in an empty alley.

Years later, Nan Xi, back at the peak of her life, sighed that relying on yourself was better than relying on others. Gu Yan walked by carrying their son, Gu Xiaobao. "Are you sure about that?"
