SUMMARY

Qiao Shao, who worked hard to stay up all night and study, was first in class — if you count from the bottom.

He Shen, who was able to get a perfect score even when he slept all day, in a rare display of kindness, bought a bottle of drink to comfort his s*upid seatmate.

Then he saw the messages popping up on Qiao Shao’s phone—

Dad: Don’t panic, it’s okay if you didn’t do well in the exam. Dad just ordered a new sports car for you.

Granddad: Grandson, there’s no need to hurry. It’s alright even if you didn’t do well in your exam. Granddad bought a new yacht for you, come and take a break.

Grandpa: Grandson, don’t cry, it’s okay if you didn’t do well in the exam. Grandpa’s billions-worth of properties are all yours.

With a blank expression, He Shen threw his 2.5 Yuan worth bottle of drink into the tr@sh.

Fan Summary

Qiao Shao, a seventeen-year-old student transfers to a new school and settles in the dorm. Despite coming from a filthy rich background, he pretends to be an average kid to start a new life and fit in amongst his classmates.

He then mistakes He Shen for the school tyrant, dreading that he had become his deskmate and wanting to ignore him for the rest of the year. He then challenges this incompetent tyrant to get first place in the exams.

To his surprise, he actually did?!
What do you mean he's number one in the city?! (◯Δ◯∥)

After a long while, Qiao Shao finally regained his voice, “I … I really didn’t notice.”

In their encounter, the two unexpectedly start to open up and find a home in each other, support each other, and heal together from their past.

This is a story of youth, family, friendship, healing and love.
