Jin Cancan came from a mountain village, and he was very proud. He was a little clumsy, yet paradoxically clever, and looked down on everyone equally.
After all, he was the top student in his village, and even his teacher was amazed by his quick wit and intelligence.
When he started high school, his excellent grades earned him a scholarship admission to an elite boys' school, along with a large sum of money.
To ease the pressure on his family, he packed up his patched-up bag and went to study at the boys' school.

Jin Cancan saw the splendor of the big city with his own eyes. He was stunned, and dazzled by it.
Even an ordinary dormitory at the elite boys' school was better than the village chief's house back home. Everything, from food and clothes to housing and transportation, was top-notch, and the high school boys acted as if they had eyes on the tops of their heads.
He loved his life now. He was even fascinated by it.
But his goal was to study and find a way out. He was the smartest person in the world, and once he graduated, he would definitely trample underfoot those boys who acted like they owned the place.
Weren't they just better off because they were born into better families? Those guys who did nothing but eat, drink, and have fun while squandering society's resources weren't necessarily better than him!
The boys looked down on everyone, of course, and naturally thought nothing of a proud, arrogant country bumpkin like Jin Cancan.
Jin Cancan had no artistic talent, knew nothing about refined sports, and was clueless about social graces. He wasn't even worth the trouble of being toyed with by the rich childhood-friends group.
At first, everyone thought so.
Until...
Someone saw one of the childhood friends grab Jin Cancan by the wrist in the library and then gently press a kiss into his palm.
Jin Cancan yanked his hand back and rubbed it against his clothes three times, looking disgusted. "You're so gross."
Later, the rich childhood-friends group fell for him one by one, and even turned against each other over him!
The school forum went up in flames.
-Short Scene-
When the rich childhood-friends group asked Jin Cancan to hang out, they would secretly try to kiss his lips or hold his hand...
Jin Cancan would still be holding a book, memorizing and reading, completely focused on frantically working through practice problems, thinking about how to come first in the next exam.
Who cared what weird things these rich people were thinking? He was going to study hard. Those idiots who spent all day indulging themselves could only watch him leave them in the dust!
