The story follows Zheng Yu, a biology student who’s been living a life of hardship. Between part-time jobs, medical bills, and debts, she’s doing everything she can to win the school’s prestigious “Vitality Award” scholarship. Just as she’s grinding away, Chen Yan Zhou, a mysterious new student only a year her junior, lands at the top of the class rankings, instantly becoming her academic rival.
But rivalry soon turns complicated. Zheng Yu and Chen Yan Zhou find themselves repeatedly forced to collaborate, navigating the tricky balance of competition and cooperation.
As they spend more time together, they start to uncover each other’s hidden scars—Zheng Yu’s life of constant struggle and Chen Yan Zhou’s past loneliness. Gradually, their mutual understanding sparks a quiet, tender connection, with both of them helping to heal the wounds the other carries.
In addition to the emotional storyline, the series touches on real-life struggles like financial hardship, the pressure of academic life, and the challenge of keeping hope alive when circumstances feel stacked against you.
