The novel uses a Japanese and Korean manga-style brushstroke, fully employing the readers' favorite playful and witty Northeastern dialects, to tell the story of a group of "cool generation" students who have just entered university from high school, with their innocent and straightforward love perspectives. Lin Xiaobei is a beautiful sophomore in a science and engineering department, where the appearance of a pretty girl is undoubtedly a sensation. Xu Lei, a cool and handsome student leader, takes advantage of his position to pursue Lin Xiaobei relentlessly. However, Lin Xiaobei can't forget Yang Qiong, her high school lover who had split up with her. They occasionally call each other and chat online, keeping tabs on each other's lives, caring for each other silently. Just then, another netizen, Ding Xing, inexplicably enters Lin Xiaobei's life, setting off a long and tumultuous red love journey. With the unexpected death of the male protagonist at the end of the novel, the tragic tone reaches its peak, leaving readers unforgettable. The entire novel is divided into two parts, and this is the first part. The cover and interior illustrations are all created in collaboration by the Japanese manga master Fujiwara Kaoru and the Chinese "cool generation" manga masters Liu Yaping and Liu Xinqiang, tailored specifically for this book. The novel uses a humorous and witty tone, making readers laugh through tears as they finish it in one breath. It's no exaggeration to say that only by reading I'm Not a Smart Girl can one truly understand what real emotion is. We believe that I'm Not a Smart Girl, which fully employs the readers' favorite playful and witty Northeastern dialects, will undoubtedly stir up a new wave of storms in the book market.
