Lu Yanyang transmigrates into an old-school, melodramatic novel about a universally adored protagonist. Everyone around him is a dazzling star, admired by all.
Male Lead One, Jin Yunfan, is the unruly school tyrant of Qingyang No. 1 High School, a heartthrob whose name is constantly posted on the school's confession wall and the undisputed leader among the boys. The watch on his wrist costs as much as a house, and his garage is packed with luxury cars. The word "setback" doesn't exist in his life.
Male Lead Two, Xie Xu, is a cool, fastidious academic genius. Ever since he transferred to No. 1 High School, nobody has been able to dislodge him from the top spot. Cold and arrogant, he ignores everyone equally, yet his peerless talent keeps placing him on a pedestal.
Male Lead Three, Shen Yang, is the illegitimate son of a wealthy family. He's withdrawn and icy, yet blessed with a face so handsome it could make anyone faint. He got involved in the family business while still at school and already runs several companies, excelling at every kind of business. He's in a completely different league from ordinary students.
The universally adored protagonist of the book is Shu Ningning, a stunningly pure, innocent flower. Wherever she goes, she runs into the three male leads and launches into the standard melodramatic tug-of-war, standing up to the powerful and striving to make her own way.
They have money, good looks, and a plot.
Lu Yanyang, who has transmigrated into a mere background character: Oh, what does that have to do with me?
Messy romance is too dangerous. He resolves to quietly become the perfect background character.
So everyone notices that a rather unremarkable classmate has appeared beside the school's famous stars. No matter what happens, he's always in the perfect place to watch the drama, yet he never shows any interest in it. Everyone says he's just a bookworm who does nothing but study.
Then, after an ordinary monthly exam, they discover that the unshakable academic champion has fallen to second place, and the top student is none other than the background character, Lu Yanyang.
After that, they realize something seems different.
At the city basketball tournament, Lu Yanyang dominates the court, with a higher scoring rate than the famous school tyrant.
When his heavy black-rimmed glasses accidentally fall off, his astonishing beauty leaves everyone else in the dust.
Watching all this, the innocent flower finally comes to her senses: Everyone can compete, so let's all compete! What's romance got on building a career?
Thanks to Lu Yanyang's efforts, the stars of the school go crazy for the chance to earn one glance from someone for the first time, each pushing themselves to the limit and abandoning their usual laziness.
The students of Qingyang No. 1 High School are deeply worried about this very unusual dorm.
They used to worry that the stars would bully the background character.
Now they worry that the stars will get into a fight over him.
