Interesting series- the gaokao struggle is real, tho that is finally abating a bit as educational access is expanding in the country (and national education and financial policy cracked down and abolished many expensive private- especially foreign- tutoring programs and cram schools, and started limiting homework amounts, etc).
Just one translating nitpick- the MC's name- "nien" does not exist in official chinese pinyin spelling. It would be "nian" for a single character, and would only be spelled that way if it were two characters, and written as "ni'en".
