In a school where academic reigns supreme and sports are relegated to a dusty corner of the campus, Li Ying (Zyrene Lee) vows to revive the basketball team by volunteering to be the head coach. Her first member is Yuan Da Ying (Andy Yuan), a country boy who is passionate for basketball but has no skill. Their recruitment goes into high gear when Dong Fang Xiang (Cody Wong), a legendary basketball player, transfers to their school.

Around the same time, Yuan Da Ying (Andy Yuan) falls for Zhan Jie Er (Cherry Zhan), a scholarship student who reminds him of his childhood friend GuGu Chicken (Terry). Things are complicated by the fact her family works for Dong Fang Xiang (Cody Wong), who she also grew up with. Their encounter may just rewrite the school’s basketball history.
