Background

Sheng Nixie is the son of Chekhov, described as the “Network Tsar,” and an unnamed mother. His opening characterization presents a severe internal contradiction: a shy, timid, idealistic side that seeks equality and harmony, and a lewd, domineering side driven by conquest and desire 1.

As a soccer player, he becomes known as Victory Shoes, a fan-given homophonic nickname. His teammates and fans value his exceptional play, although he is portrayed as fearful and hesitant away from the field 5.

Appearance

When his supernatural power surfaces, Sheng Nixie is marked by alternating gold and silver radiance rather than a stable physical transformation 7.

• Golden light can flash in his eyes, while silver light later replaces it 5 7.
• His expression shifts between compassion, cruelty, pain, and confusion as conflicting voices contend within his soul 7.
• A silver dragon-like manifestation is visible amid the silver radiance around his lower body 7.
• He leaves Cannon’s home carrying an ice coffin, with blood tears streaming from his eyes 7.

Personality

Sheng Nixie is initially timid and unable to confront the blond man who holds Yu captive, even when he recognizes that Yu has been drugged. His fear contrasts sharply with his ability to perform courageously during a match 5.

His psyche is divided among compassionate, aggressive, and grief-stricken impulses. After Yu’s death, grief and rage overwhelm his earlier passivity, producing an inhumanly cold and cruel demeanor toward Cannon 7.

Despite his volatility, Sheng Nixie can think rationally under pressure. In the secret chamber, he deduces that the unseen entity has been increasing his power, then immediately accepts discipleship when offered a path to revive Yu 8.
