Seasons
"No. 1 For You"
The feeling of being pressed down has never felt so real for Zhou Shuyi. As he stares at the class report, he can't help but to wonder why he's been in second place ever since Gao Shide came into his life in the fifth grade. For this reason, he's excited to leave for college, hoping to never see Gao Shide again. Enjoying his new life in college, he joins the swimming team and is revered by his classmates, that is until Gao Shide enters his life again and swims into first place on his last swimming competition before graduation. Zhou Shuyi doesn't understand why Gao Shide is following him wherever he went, but little does he know that Gao Shide has always had eyes for him.
"Fighting Mr. 2nd"
Set five years after the events of the first season, Gao Shide is now the CEO of his family's start-up company, which is facing the threat of being bought out. The buyer's representative is no other than Zhou Shuyi, who hates him for their unresolved separation. Zhou Shuyi may always be second during school, but when his career is on the line, he has no reason to lag behind.
