During her postgraduate entrance exam prep, Chang Huanyu studied from five in the morning until eleven at night every day, all so she could get into Tsinghua and study under the renowned scholar she had admired for years.
Just as her dream came true and she was accepted, disaster struck: the scholar was leaving for another university.
Chang Huanyu cried her heart out to the heavens. Wanting to blow off steam, she went on a roller coaster at an amusement park. She never expected a malfunction to fling her out of the ride and into the air. As she was hurled away, one thought filled her mind: What rotten luck.
When she opened her eyes again, Chang Huanyu was back in her first year of high school.
Chang Huanyu decided this was a second chance from Heaven. She had three years to work hard, get into Tsinghua University on the college entrance exam, and do research under that renowned scholar!

To make sure she got into Tsinghua, Chang Huanyu resolved to cozy up to Xie Chengan, the top scorer in the college entrance exam before she was reborn.
Back then, Xie Chengan was a lazy, good-for-nothing “bottom-of-the-class student.” He and his rowdy friends were always among the ten lowest-ranked students in their grade.
Chang Huanyu volunteered to sit with Xie Chengan, saying she wanted to study hard with him.
His rowdy friends laughed at her. “What do you expect to learn from him? How to fight?”
But later, they saw Xie Chengan really was helping Chang Huanyu with her problems.
His friends were furious. “We agreed to keep coming in last, and now you're secretly studying behind our backs?”

Xie Chengan thought Chang Huanyu had a crush on him.
She brought him water when he played basketball, wrote his apology letters when he skipped school, and even cheered him on when he got into fights.
One day, Chang Huanyu gazed at him with what looked like “tender affection.” Thinking she was about to confess, Xie Chengan asked awkwardly, “Is there something you want to tell me?”
Chang Huanyu pulled out a copy of the Wusan workbook, pointed to a math problem, and asked with shining eyes, “Could you help me solve this?”
Xie Chengan: “?”
“Nothing else?”
Chang Huanyu pulled out a chemistry workbook too. “Oh, right, there's this one as well.”
Xie Chengan: “...”
/I thought you were flirting with me, but you really just wanted help with your homework?/
