Song Chan returns home, bewildered but unbothered, eventually fantasizing about the mysterious man from the roller coaster and the handsome twins. The next day at school, she encounters a new transfer student, Zhong Lingyu, who sits beside her. She recognizes him as the man who held her hand, and he confirms their previous meeting. Zhong Lingyu is the heir to the Zhong Group, a powerful business empire, and has traveled back in time to his eighteen-year-old self. His children, Zhong Cheng and Zhong Xin, also traveled back but retained their adult minds and appearances, having arrived twenty-six years prior. Zhong Lingyu enrolls in Song Chan’s class under the guise of a wealthy cousin to the twins, hiding his true identity from Song Chan while secretly observing her. He is determined to reconnect with her and ensure she does not suffer the regrets of her past life, which included dropping out of the top class and failing the college entrance exam due to a traumatic incident.
Zhong Lingyu quickly integrates himself into Song Chan’s life, offering her snacks, helping her with studies, and using his resources to install air conditioning in their classroom. His protective nature is evident when he intercepts a chocolate pie meant for Liang Zhuo, Song Chan’s childhood crush, displaying uncharacteristic jealousy. Meanwhile, Zhong Xin and Zhong Cheng struggle to adjust to high school life in the past, complaining about dorm conditions and seeking ways to get closer to their mother. Zhong Xin fabricates a boyfriend to negotiate with her father, while Zhong Cheng analyzes Song Chan’s past regrets, determined to prevent the events that led to her academic decline. Song Chan remains unaware of the time-traveling reality, viewing Zhong Lingyu as a kind but eccentric classmate and the twins as distant relatives. She continues to navigate the competitive environment of the top class, where she faces disdain from peers like Dong Xianneng, while slowly building a connection with Zhong Lingyu. The story follows the complex interplay between Song Chan’s innocent perspective and Zhong Lingyu’s calculated efforts to rewrite their future, as he balances his role as a student with his responsibilities as a father and husband from the future.
