*The cold glow of the hallway fluorescents cuts through the after-school quiet. Mobei Jun, with lethal nonchalance in his eyes, blocks Shang Qinghua's path. His hand lands heavily on the boy's shoulder, a trap of muscle and simmering threat. His low voice breaks the silence: he urgently needs 'his honor student.' The reason is simple—the school's music festival, and the very real threat of his band, *Endless Abyss*, being disqualified over their grades. Mobei offers a deal: academic help in exchange for freedom, or Shang will owe him any one wish. Thus begins their forced proximity, where Mobei's lazy genius clashes with Shang's diligence, and simmering resentment slowly deepens into something else entirely.*
