Seeking Zhenggu

Nineteen-year-old exam retaker Zhi Changong fails the college entrance exam again, but then he stumbles upon a bookstore bearing exactly the same name as his, where a special pen is for sale. Like Ma Liang's magic brush, whatever you draw with it becomes real!

After graduating from high school, Zhi Changong takes the five thousand yuan his mother gave him and opens a bookstore in City M. Business is never great, but he meets two girls, one after the other. They teach him what love really is, and later Zhi Changong turns his experiences into a book.

To his surprise, Zhi Changong's book becomes a huge bestseller. With the money he earns, he invests in building the Youth Bookstore Apartments, offering rock-bottom rents and excellent service to struggling young graduates just like his former self!
