Tech Magic and the Scam of the Century
Have you ever imagined two guys who utterly despise each other suddenly realizing that their long-time common crush was actually a guy cross-dressing as a girl? Before they can even recover from this scam of the century, a weird system barges into their lives, aggressively forcing them into an awkward friendship.
If they dare resist or fail their assigned tasks, this high-tech entity hits them with brutally severe punishments. That absurd force pushes two bitter enemies straight into a series of funny situations with zero escape.
Opposites Attract
Our protagonist Jiang Yang comes off as arrogant on the outside, but actually hides a warm heart—your classic endearing tsundere. His unique twist? He’s hopeless at physics, but a total god at chemistry. On top of that, he thoroughly enjoys playfully beating his rival whenever they clash.
On the other side of the battlefield is Qin Xu, a heartthrob who acts cool but is secretly soft and prone to tears. This physics whiz who fails chemistry turns out to be hopelessly smitten with his long-time rival. He even gets a kick out of getting beaten by his rival every day just to get pampered afterward.
The Chaos Squad
The charm of this story doesn't stop at our main pair; it features a stellar cast of supporting characters too. Close friends like Zhai Tong and Huang Shao are always at the center of the most absurd antics, bringing a lively wave of youthful vitality to campus life.
Meanwhile, familiar faces like Xie Zhe, Xiao Yuxin, and the awesome Tang Lingling nail their roles in the squad. Their hilarious banter and tight-knit solidarity highlight a pure school friendship that is super sweet and wholesome.

- It lacks a deeper focus on family pressures or intense studying, making school life look a bit rose-tinted and idealized.
