Overview
The story tells the story of Liu Quan Long, a lowly born and independent struggling young man who got the opportunity to exchange his life with a boy from another class in a famous university. Unexpectedly, what was waiting for him was a thrilling game. Liu Quan Long is an impoverished young man who can't afford to go to university but has a great talent. Before meeting Chen Lun, he was an Internet cafe administrator outside the university who would never be noticed. Chen Lun has a distinguished family and studied at an elite university just across the street from an internet cafe, but he had no intention of going to school. In order to cope with his parents abroad, he offered Liu Quan Long an invitation to the game of "identity exchange" and asked Liu Quan Long to replace him.
