More than fifty days before the 2005 college entrance examination, the city's second model exam was held.Because Li Zerui had been recommended to Chengjiang University, he was playing ball on the court when he was suddenly sucked by the teacher and came back to do a question.Because the school's network was down and could not be restored for a short period of time, the school teacher asked Li Zerui to finish the mock test paper quickly. He needed to use it as a reference answer for marking the paper, because the results would not be available the next day, which would affect the second model ranking.Later, the TV station had an exclusive interview with Li Zerui. He Shan's family also saw the interview video of the TV station. He Shan's family was relatively confident about He Shan's personal performance and planned to pass the exam. At the same time, her parents mentioned that they could still be together in the future.As fellow villagers taking care of each other, He Shan actually had a secret crush on Li Zerui as early as their sophomore year in high school, and Li Zerui also had a secret crush on He Shan.

After Li Zerui's parents (biological father and stepmother) learned about the transfer, they prepared a celebration dinner for him that night. His father gave him a red envelope, which was opened by his half-brother, and his stepmother handed him disposable tableware on the table.After the meal, her stepmother found Li Zerui and gave her a Walkman that Li Zerui liked. She made some insinuations and finally expressed her hope that Li Zerui would help his younger brother take the college entrance examination. However, Li Zerui refused and returned the gift.That night, Li Zerui fell into memories. After her mother passed away and was cremated, her ashes needed to be buried. At that time, Li Zerui was alone. On a rainy day, she called her father to inform him of the time and place for her mother's ashes to be buried. As a result, during the phone call, her stepmother learned about it and tried her best to stop Li Zerui's father.To bury his mother.Finally, on a heavy rainy day, Li Zerui went alone holding his mother's urn.Afterwards, his father took Li Zerui back to his home and settled him in the study. As a result, Li Zerui didn't have a sense of belonging. He told his father that there was a utility room downstairs and settled there. The younger brother never said a word to his elder brother Li Zerui from beginning to end.

Early the next morning after her stepmother talked to Li Zerui, Li Zerui stopped her stepmother from the window and told her that she had agreed to her request last night to take the college entrance examination for her younger brother.On the day of the college entrance examination, his father was surprised that Li Zerui would go to the examination room with his younger brother.In the car on the way, the younger brother handed his elder brother his examination equipment and admission ticket, and his elder brother Li Zerui accepted them silently.

However, Li Zerui did not expect that he would meet He Shan in the examination room.Faced with He Shan's questions, he explained to He Shan that he was cheering for his younger brother to take the exam.Finally, after He Shan entered the examination room, Li Zerui hurriedly ran into the examination room and successfully passed the inspection of the invigilator.

The first day of the exam went well. On the afternoon of the second day, Li Zerui finished the comprehensive science subject and had 30 minutes left to complete the answer sheet. At this time, all the negative memories suddenly came to his mind. His stepmother blocked his father from burying his mother, and his younger brother treated her indifferently.He was furious.Finally, cross out all the candidate information on the exam paper.After the exam, He Shan's father welcomed He Shan to the scene and took a Polaroid photo of her. Little did he know that Li Zerui, who was not far behind He Shan, was also captured in the same frame.

On the day the results were released, He Shan was far ahead with a total score of 676, while his younger brother Li Zetian's score was hindered by a score of 0 on the comprehensive science paper.He Shan's family was immersed in joy, but He Shan discovered Li Zerui in the back of the Polaroid photo given to her by He Shan's father on the day after the exam. Li Zerui's family was greatly distressed because of Li Zerui's 0 score in Tianli comprehensive examination.Sometimes he stirred up trouble and angered his younger brother, causing Li Zerui to almost be strangled to death by his younger brother.

In the afternoon of that day, someone from the Education Committee went to He Shan's home to learn about the situation where Li Zerui was suspected of taking the exam. He Shan rushed to Li Zerui's house anxiously after learning about it.However, when He Shan arrived, she witnessed the Li Zerui brothers being taken away by the police.In the end, He Shan was admitted to the Department of Journalism of National Cheng Kung University, while Li Zerui was punished due to solid evidence of taking the exam.

After he was released from prison a year later, his father came to pick him up and told him that he had moved, his stepmother had lost his job, and his brother had been punished and was preparing to go out to work.His father asked him about his future plans. Li Zerui still wanted to go to college, but the current situation no longer allowed him. His father gave him 20,000 yuan and asked him to find a job. However, Li Zerui replied to his father that he would not ask for a penny from him in the future., he would become very, very rich in the future, and he threw 20,000 yuan in cash back and got out of the car, but was stopped by his father. His father asked him why he agreed to his stepmother to help his younger brother take the exam, if he didn't care about his own life.Li Zerui desperately replied to his father, "The day you cheated on me, you had already ruined my life".Since then, the father and son have lost contact, and Li Zerui is on his way to Chengdu alone.

Hesitation happened to be the beginning of the university semester, so Li Zerui easily caught the Regeneration shuttle bus to Chengdu University. Since he was not a university student, he could only rent a bed in a hotel owned by Xiaohe opposite the gate of Chengdu University and work nearby during the day.Delivering goods to National Cheng Kung University, and registering on the National Cheng Kung University campus network at night to hang out on the Mathematics Department Post Bar.

On this day, Xiaohe threw a white shirt to Li Zerui and took him to the cinema to pretend to be a staff member. He went to the viewing room to pick up a leak and accidentally picked up a wallet with Xu Ou's student ID card.Finally, Li Zerui found Xu Ou with Xu Ou's wallet and returned it to him.Because Li Zerui lied that he was a mathematics major, Xu Ou was the head of the financial club at this time, so he decisively extended an invitation to him.But Li Zerui hesitated when faced with an invitation to join the membership that required him to fill in personal information, and rejected him.Because Xu Ou's student ID card was missing, Xiaohe discovered a business opportunity and made many fake student ID cards for Chengdu University.

One night, Li Zerui was studying in a western restaurant. Due to poverty, he picked up the steaks left by other guests. He happened to bump into He Shan, whom he had not seen for a long time. Their eyes met and they were stunned.
