In A Class of Her Own

The daughter of an impoverished family, Xue Wen Xi (Ju Jing Yi) knows all about hardship. Willing to do whatever it takes to help take care of her beloved family, Wen Xi has gone to extreme lengths to make ends meet. Which is why, when an opportunity to take work as a writer presented itself, she willingly took the job; even though doing so meant she had to disguise herself as a boy. The ruse seemed innocent enough, until the day the Prime Minister’s son, Feng Cheng Jun (Song Wei Long) walked into her life. Impressed by Wen Xi’s work, Feng Cheng Jun sets a plan in motion that leaves Wen Xi no choice but to enroll in the esteemed Yun Shang Academy. As a school that only accepts male students, Wen Xi has no choice but to continue disguising herself as a boy. Taking her brother’s name, Wen Xi, now Wen Bin, spends every moment of her life terrified of having her secret revealed.  Despite her fears, Wen Xi thrives in her scholastic environment. Using her wit, kindness, and charms, Wen Xi earns the respect and friendship of a trio of fellow scholars who, together, become known as the “Yun Shang Quartet”. With faithful friends by her side, and a newfound love growing in her heart, Wen Xi finds the strength to face the hardships that inevitably come her way. But will this newfound strength crumble, once her darkest secrets are revealed?
