Synopsis

Rui Xi (Ella) has just returned from America, having fallen "head over heels" for a boy named Zuo Yi Quan (Wu Chun) after seeing his high jump performance on television; she was very much inspired by him to lose weight. Later, she decides to find out all about him and get to be friends with the one she highly respects. The only problem is Quan goes to an ALL BOYS SCHOOL! After much persuasion of her family and gaining the help of her good friend, Rui Xi then disguises herself as a boy and goes to the high school Quan attends. Coincidently and perheps by fate, she is the same class and is also Quan's roommate! On her first day of school, she was late and bumped into someone on the way to class. In a hurry, she rushed off without apologizing. Much to her dismay, that guy was Quan. She wanted to be friends with Quan and was very straightforward about it but was "rejected" (he thought she was gay, so maybe too straightforward). Liking that Rui Xi is rather straightforward, Jin Xiu Yi (Jiro Wang), the school soccer star, befriends Rui Xi.

During a P.E. lesson, everyone was shocked to discover that Rui Xi was a very fast runner, even breaking the school's record held by Xiu Yi. A jealous Xiu Yi challenges her to a soccer match. During the match, she faints after getting hit at the head by Xiu Yi's elbow when he finally snatched the ball from her. Quan comes to her rescue (and finds out that she is REALLY A GIRL but keeps it to himself) and he brings her to the school's doctor, Mei Tian, who is gay. He too, finds out about Rui Xi's identity but promises to keep it a secret. He soon became her counselor when she needed someone to talk to. Xiu Yi soon falls in love with Rui Xi, but doesn't know that Rui Xi is a girl and believes that he, himself, is gay.

Quan and Rui Xi soon become friends and begin to develop a very close friendship. Many mishaps and challenges await Rui Xi. Will she be able to get through high school perfectly, without anyone discovering that she's a girl, but at the same time stay close to Quan?
