A Mentor for a Lifetime

With only 100 days left until the national college entrance exams (Gaokao), Bai Shulin, a top-tier teacher at the prestigious private high school Guangming Academy, worked tirelessly to prepare his students. His dedication, however, sparked jealousy in fellow teacher Zhang Qi, who schemed to force him out. Before leaving, Bai urged Zhang to follow his carefully crafted study plan—but she ignored his advice, prioritizing shortcuts over real learning. As a result, the students’ performance plummeted.Meanwhile, Bai was hired by Hongxing High School, where his teaching methods led their students to surpass even Guangming Academy’s top-ranking class. With the Gaokao looming and Guangming’s students in crisis, Zhang Qi was fired in disgrace. Now, Bai Shulin faced an impossible choice—but in the end, he took on the challenge of teaching both schools, becoming a mentor not just to students, but to the teachers themselves, racing against time to salvage Guangming’s final hope.
