Bai Xingxing was known as the Queen of Overachievers.
She attended the top university in the country and could claim any first place she wanted, but during one vicious round of academic competition, she got what she deserved and died suddenly in the library.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become another "Bai Xingxing": the darling daughter of Bai Youqian, who owned countless mines; the apple of Huo Ximei's eye, founder of a luxury brand; and the beloved little sister of Bai Qingqing, a top-tier star.
Bai Xingxing, who had applied for financial aid every year, had no time to celebrate before Lu Yan cornered her at the school gate on the first day of term. He was first in his grade, first in looks, and first in bad temper.
Lu Yan: Write me another love letter and I'll break your hand.
Bai Xingxing: ?
Lu Yan: Give me chocolate again and I'll break your leg.
Bai Xingxing: ?
Lu Yan: The person who came last isn't allowed to like me.
Bai Xingxing: ?
Lu Yan: Did you hear me?
Bai Xingxing: OK, OK. No love letters, no chocolate, and I won't like you.
Bai Xingxing: I'll just take first place in our grade.
Lu Yan: ???

On the day the monthly exam results came out, Lu Yan crouched by the road with red-rimmed eyes. Bai Xingxing stared at him for a long time.
Lu Yan stood up to leave. Bai Xingxing called after him, "If you still feel like crying when you get home, call me."
Deeply moved, Lu Yan: Okay.
Expressionless, Bai Xingxing: Let me know, so I can see that you've finally had your day.

Later, on the college entrance exam, they tied for first place nationwide. A TV station interviewed them about their ambitions for the future.
Bai Xingxing: To be pillars of society and the backbone of our country, striving for the great rejuvenation of our nation!
Lu Yan: Bai Xingxing writes me love letters, Bai Xingxing gives me chocolate, Bai Xingxing likes me :)
Viewers in front of their TVs: We're bringing the Civil Affairs Bureau over tonight.
Theme: No more overachieving!
