Why the Moon is Bright [Rebirth]

1. First encounter. In front of the teaching building, fourteen-year-old Xu Can sat on the steps, crying uncontrollably, when a voice suddenly asked from above, "What's wrong?" She was startled, looked up, and was instantly mesmerized. Eyes brimming with tears, she sniffled and hesitated for a few seconds before blurting out a lie, "Teacher, I... I didn’t do well on my exam." Tong Mingyue then sat beside her and kept her company, chatting. The next day, Tong Mingyue passed by the school bulletin board. There, she saw the name of that "struggling student" she had spent half her day comforting—Xu Can—placed firmly at the top of the grade-wide ranking list, with nearly perfect scores in every subject. "......" 2. After a lifetime of effort, still burdened by the weight of her origins, Xu Can was forced to jump from a building, regretting only that she couldn’t see Tong Mingyue one last time. When she opened her eyes again, her computer screen displayed a blank document. She had returned to her sophomore year. Failed courses, no money, two major exams looming just ahead... This time around, Xu Can embraced a carefree persona, her heart and mind fixated on one thing only: Tong Mingyue.
