**Genius Girlfriend** is a coming-of-age drama series produced by iQIYI, directed by Tian Yusheng (**Ex-Files** film series, **The Sacrifice**), and written by Sun Qijun. It stars Tian Xiwei (**New Life Begins, Pursuit of Jade**) and Hu Yitian (**A Love So Beautiful, My Roommate Is a Detective**). 

The genius Lin Zhixia [played by Tian Xiwei] is straightforward and reserved, never ever having a close friend. Admitted to Provincial No. 1 Middle School, she meets the sunny top student Jiang Yubai [played by Hu Yitian] in a problem-solving competition and becomes his desk mate. 

As a social butterfly, Jiang helps Lin fit in, making friends like Tang Tingting [played by Li Jiaqi], Duan Qiyan [played by Xia Haoran], Shen Fuxuan [played by Lai Weiming], and Jin Baihui [played by Vivienne Tien]. In return, Lin helps him with his studies. 

⚠️ *Plot spoilers!* ⚠️

Together, they >!assist a classmate being scammed, and participate in club activities and the provincial math competition. Though he catches feelings for her, he keeps them hidden. After Lin is recommended to Fudan University, Jiang plans to confess to her during the graduation trip. Unfortunately, he has to leave because his mother is involved in a fraud case. Amid the obstacles, will the two find their way back to each other?!<
