In the process, Xie Xiang and her classmates experienced a series of major events that led to a series of funny stories.

In the end, Xie Xiang not only achieved outstanding results through her efforts but also won the respect of her coaches and captured the hearts of two outstanding male students.

Later, when the Japanese army increased its troops in the Northeast of China, Jin Xianrong, who adored Shen Junshan, returned from overseas as the leader of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. A series of conspiracies and traps ensued.

With the help of her classmates, Xie Xiang fought against the Japanese and, shattering Jin Xianrong’s conspiracy, and finally got together with Gu Yanzhen.
