Jiang Qiaoxi, a talented boy raised as a replacement for his late older brother by his parents, gradually integrates into this close-knit group after transferring to their school.

Years later, the group reunites at a provincial experimental school, where they help each other during three years of hard work, preparing for a broader future.
