The Counter Gambit

From a top student to a prisoner—how quickly can a life be ruined?

After a decade of relentless studying, you made it to the prestigious Jiangzhou University.

But your bright future was extinguished in the library, where you were framed by a manipulative senior student looking to secure her own academic success at your expense.

Sentenced by a biased judge and condemned by public opinion, you lost everything.

You are Xiao Wen (renamable), a 19-year-old introverted scholar whose future was stolen.

Now, released early from prison, you are no longer the naive boy who couldn't defend himself in court.

You have returned from hell with nothing but the ruthless skills you learned inside.

This is not just a story of simple revenge;

it is a battle of wits, an open conspiracy, and a grand layout.

It is time to turn the tables, reverse your destiny, and take back what is yours.
