Quick Precis
Jing Zhi Hue was desperate to be admitted to the top section of the senior class in high school. But due to a car accident, she ended up enrolled in the bottom and worst section academically.
She tried everything to be transferred to another class but she slowly built a rapport with her classmates…
Episode 1
Jing Zhi Hue was having a perfect high school life. She was where she wanted to be; in the top section of her year with Xie Jing Yuan, her crush. (Though he does not give her the time of day!)
Jing Zhi Hue was excited and ready for the exam. She was even wearing the lucky charm bracelet that has not failed her yet.
Then everything went topsy turvy during the examination that would determine new class sections.
She was on her way to school, getting out of the bus when a cyclist crashed into her. She fell badly and bruised her leg rather terribly.
The cyclist was Xie Jing Yuan.
Poor Jing Zhi Hue was in panic as she would be late for her first exam, which was English, her best subject.
Xie Jing Yuan panicked with her. He offered to carry her on his back to school.
She was of course late and then also she realised that she lost her lucky charm bracelet.
Then came the test result.
Poor Jing Zhi Hue ended up in section K or 11, near the bottom of year 3.
She was in shock when she went to her new class. Her classmates were not the studious type. They seemed unruly and studying was the last thing in their mind.
She did tell her teacher that she was working into getting back to Class A which seemed to annoy her teacher.
This teacher made her the class monitor despite her protest.
Because her classmates thought that she was looking down on them, they started giving her trouble.
There was a surprise for her, another boy from Class way transferred to her class. It was Xie Jing Yuan who felt guilty for her that he thought he should also be in her class.
Then, Liu Xi Chuan also transferred in her class.
Liu Xi Chuan was instantly popular with their classmates.
Xie Jing Yuan started looking after Jing Zhi Hue, giving her advice which only made her mad.
Being the monitor, it was a task to make sure all her classmates participated in their curricular and extra-curricular activities. But no one really willingly wanted to.
BTW, Xie Jing Yuan got her bracelet.
Episode 2
Poor Jing Zhi Hue, her troubles continue.
She can’t get to Class A and then she just missed out on the application quota for Donghai University.
Her class’s quota was only for two which went to Liu Jing Chuan and Xie Jing Yuan.
Xie Jing Yuan asked Xi Chuan to sign up for the sportfest.
Xie Chuan told him that she was a disaster at sport. She was so bad she was exempted from participating.
However Jingyuan told her that if she signs up the others will do as well.
Xichuan asked him why he was doing so much for Zhihue.
Jingyuan was forced to tell Xichuan that he likes Zhihue, who at that minute saw the two talking rather chummily.
Xichuan’s parents finally found out that she can’t apply to Donghai university. Her father told her mother to look into it.
Meanwhile, their dinner was interrupted by a telephone call from Jingyuan who wanted to know what course Zhihue was going to take up in university.
The next morning, Class K, who bugged the faculty room, found out the Jingyuan completed his Donghai application form in Zhihue’s name.
The case did not blow up because Jingyuan was a top student and Zhihue will keep the Donghai application for herself.
Zhihue’s mother came to the school to speak to Principal Ma, who told her that Zhihue has a Donghai application.
But the mother also wanted for Zhihue to transfer to Class A.
Zhihue’s homeroom teacher told the mother that if she transfers to Class A Zhihue will just be one of the many bright students but if she stays at Class K and excels as a leader, she will automatically get 20 raw points added to her GAOKAO.
This new information immediately pacified the mother and told Zhihue to stay in her class and be a good leader.
It was not easy though as her classmates can’t even be bribed by snacks.
Episode 3 & 4
Time is running out to submit the names of those who will be joining the Athletic Events from Class K.
To help Zhihue, Jingyuan volunteered to be the League Secretary, which surprised everyone because it was very unlike him. All he seemed to be interested in was to study.
Jingyuan pushed Zhihue to make an impassioned speech in front of her class. She did not know that it was her forte.
She told her classmate to do the extracurricular activity for themselves, not for her or the school. They owe it to themselves to enjoy all the activities in high school because one day they might regret it for not having had a full-rounded high school life.
Suddenly her classmates were enthusiastic to join.
Xichuan found out why Yun Xuan seemed to has it in for Zhihue. Apparently, it was because of Zhong Jibo.
Zhong Jibo and Zhihue were once very close which annoyed Yun Xuan who had a crush on Jibo.
This was such as shame because Zhihue and Yunxuan were once good friends.
Episode 5
Zhihue encouraged Yuan Xuan to confess to Jibo otherwise she would regret after they had left school without having done anything.
Yunxuan confessed to Jibo who said that they should be together after 100 years.
Zhihua who was listening in apologised to Yunxuan later on. She said that she really thought Jibo was into Yunxuan.
She then said that her crush hated her.
She told Yunxuan that she’s got a crush on Jingyuan.
Yunxuan told her that Jingyuan likes Zhihua otherwise he would not have transferred to Class K.
They both had a giggle when Zhihua said that she thought Jibo had a crush on Yunxuan.
Episode 6
It looks like that Yunxuan had very good reasons to be upset and rather antagonistic with Zhihua.
They used to be the bestest of friends and it was even Yunxuan who gave her the charm bracelets but because Zhihua got to class A, she had new friends and immediately dropped Yunxuan.
Episode 7
Jingyuan saved Zhi hua from a thief, He also helped her with math.

Episode 11
Ban Zhuren was so strict, Xichuan fell asleep in class and was promptly made to stay outside.
So she loiters in the school. She was spotted by Jingyuan who was in his way to Math Olympiad.
Xichuan decided to tag along with him.
Ban Zhuren was so annoyed with Xichuan and to a certain extent Jingyuan as well who can’t really understand why when he was forced by the school to join a Math olympiad.
As a punishment for the whole class, Ban Zhuren rearranged the sitting plan, which made Zhihua so annoyed because Xichuan and Jingyuan were sitting together while she was transferred somewhere else.
She asked her classmate to complain with her but they reckoned Ban Zhuren was not someone who would listen and change her mind.
Still Zhihua managed to convince Jibo to go with her.
Ban Zhuren said that she was willing to rearrange the sitting position again under one condition. Class K will do well in the coming exam and not be at the bottom of their year otherwise every one of them would attend night school.
Zhihua was so desperate she agreed to the condition without really thinking about it or consulting her classmates.
Episode 12
When her classmates found out about the deal she made, they weren’t too happy because they immediately thought that they would fail and would attend night classes.
Zhihua said that they were so pessimistic. They can do they could study together.
Unfortunately, Jingyuan refused to help and tutor the class in math at first but then Xichuan told him that if the class fail, he would not be sitting near Zhihua anymore.
Jingyuan thought about it and finally agreed.
Everyone became enthusiastic about revising but they don’t have a place to revise.
Episode 13
Their kindly maths teacher, Mr Liu, let the class used his house to study.
