In a world where academic success decides your entire future, the exam room becomes a ruthless battlefield. Passing the exams guarantees a successful future. Failing dooms you to live a cruel life, tormented by suffering and despair. Only the most intelligent—or cunning—students make it out alive.

The cheater C Type protagonist Muming Zhuge 诸葛睦明 (Japanese: Mumei Shokatsu) and studious academic Qiaoyi Huang 黄巧衣 (Japanese: Kōi Oh) decide to team up against the exams. However, the allies are soon divided, becoming bitter rivals. Will they be able to make it on their own? And if so, who will survive the challenge and emerge victorious?
