[Bad-boy-looking, well-behaved top student] x [gentle, beautiful academic ace]
Eighteen-year-old Jiang Mo is the famous "handsome rebel genius" of Y City. He gets so many love letters he can barely hold them all, never blushes or bats an eye when girls confess to him, and has rejected countless admirers.
Then one day, he spots a girl on the bus next to his. Wearing a mask and a hat, she turns her head without thinking.
Their eyes meet, and Jiang Mo blushes.
He thinks something must be wrong with him. He can't have fallen for her over a single glance.
The second time, Jiang Mo blushes again when their eyes meet.
The third time, he blushes just because she gets close to him.
Fine, he's fallen for her, and fallen hard.
He hears Su Bai likes fair skin, so he forces himself to put on Dabao every day.
He hears Su Bai doesn't want to date in high school, so he uses friendship as an excuse to stay by her side.
He hears Su Bai's friends are all good students, so he acts like a model student around her...
Jiang Mo keeps a notebook full of information about Su Bai, but doesn't dare confess.
Later, Su Bai asks him, "I heard you like me, too?"
"Ah, yeah, well..." Jiang Mo, unusually, fumbles over his words. "Wait, who else likes you?"
"Nobody. I just like you."

All the students at No. 3 High School see Su Bai as a guiding light. They believe she's always gentle, generous, rational, elegant, and unshakable.
Only Su Bai knows that no matter how many encouraging words she gives others, she can't see her own future, not until she meets Jiang Mo.
She doesn't need to look up. The stars will come to her.
