Background

In the original plot, Xu Muyan was a Female Lead whose feelings were forcibly directed away from Wang Haoran. She eventually fell completely for Chu Bai and, at his urging, used Wang Haoran’s devotion to help bring about his death. 2

The altered storyline begins when Wang Haoran publicly clarifies that he has no intention of dating her and forbids his followers from calling her “Sister-in-law.” This removes much of the discomfort caused by rumors and raises their relationship to that of ordinary acquaintances. 3 Xu Muyan is a conscientious class representative and one of the strongest students in her class; she and Wang Haoran later tie for first place with scores of 682. 4 29

Her parents are Xu Zheng, a police officer, and Lawyer An. Xu Zheng initially distrusts Wang Haoran because of his wealthy background, while Xu Muyan repeatedly defends him. Wang Haoran’s assistance with Xu Zheng’s emergency surgery ultimately improves the family’s view of him. 41 48 50

Appearance

Xu Muyan is widely recognized as a School Belle, with beauty and temperament considered comparable to other prominent school beauties. Her unfiltered, bare-faced livestream debut draws a major wave of new attention. 49 272

• Usually wears loose school uniforms, which conceal a figure described as notably good. 49
• Reported as 165 cm tall, though she later describes herself as 168 cm. 49 397
• Appears reserved and slightly shy when showing her face on stream for the first time. 272

Personality

Xu Muyan is kind, academically responsible, and initially reluctant to reject classmates who ask for help. Even when Chu Bai’s repeated requests make her uncomfortable, she feels obligated by classmate friendship to assist him. Wang Haoran encourages her to set boundaries and refuse demands that consume her study time. 19 20

She is reserved in public and once intended not to date before the college entrance examination. However, her feelings for Wang Haoran make her increasingly proactive: she worries when he misses class, offers to buy him breakfast, sends him messages during school, and eventually confesses directly. 25 51 53 68

Xu Muyan is intensely jealous when Wang Haoran pays attention to Qin Yunhan or other girls, sometimes acting more boldly than usual to assert herself. Despite her rivalry with Qin Yunhan, she gradually accepts their unusual shared relationship with Wang Haoran. 52 89 397 651

She is also filial and practical. Xu Zheng’s medical emergency deeply worries her, while her later reactions to Wang Haoran’s spending show that she is conscious of money and household management. 48 271

• Chu Bai — Formerly her intended original-plot love interest. His intrusive pursuit, cheating, and treatment of Wen Jing cause Xu Muyan to reject him and defend her own choice of Wang Haoran. 2 23 41 53

Story Role / Major Arcs

Chu Bai Plot Deviation

Wang Haoran’s clarification about dating rumors changes Xu Muyan’s opinion of him and disrupts Chu Bai’s original route to winning her affection. She increasingly recognizes that Chu Bai’s requests for tutoring are attempts to get close to her rather than genuine academic need. 3 20

Chu Bai’s fabricated dormitory note, attempted cheating, and alleged molestation of Wen Jing further damage his standing with Xu Muyan. She dismisses his attempts to explain himself and becomes openly hostile to his interference in her life. 20 23 41 53

Riverside Rendezvous and Xu Zheng’s Surgery

Xu Muyan secretly meets Wang Haoran by the riverside after evening self-study. He arranges an 800,000-yuan fireworks display specifically to cheer her up, greatly deepening her affection despite his insistence that they are only friends. 44 45

When Xu Zheng suffers severe abdominal pain, Wang Haoran uses his family’s Tianhui Clinic annual card to cover the surgery. His help eliminates Chu Bai’s planned opportunity to gain Xu Muyan’s gratitude and transforms Xu Zheng’s view of him. 48 50 51

Confession and Qingling University

Provoked by jealousy over Wang Haoran’s interactions with Qin Yunhan, Xu Muyan gathers the courage to confess. She remains steadfast even after Wang Haoran warns that he may not be a good person, while Chu Bai’s challenge to fight for her is rejected as disrespectful to her own choice. 52 53

Wang Haoran neither accepts nor rejects her confession, leaving her disappointed but still devoted. After the college entrance examination, she chooses Qingling University over her preferred Imperial Capital school in order to remain close to him. 54 173 174

Streaming Career

At Qingling University, Xu Muyan becomes a popular Pesticide streamer. Her gameplay earns her a large audience, while a face reveal vastly expands her following and draws the attention of the suspicious spender known as “Young Master Lin.” 271 272

Wang Haoran uses her account and imitates her voice to communicate with Young Master Lin, intending to expose his motives while maintaining Xu Muyan’s reserved online persona. 272

Relationship with Wang Haoran

Xu Muyan’s relationship with Wang Haoran becomes physically intimate during the Modu trip, an event that significantly reduces her Female Lead Halo and harms Yang Yi’s mentality. 552 She later insists that Wang Haoran treat her well, accepts being regarded as the “older sister” among his partners, and agrees to meet Tantai Yaoyue, his sister. 560 561

Wang Haoran publicly embraces Xu Muyan and Qin Yunhan, confesses his feelings for both, and reveals that they were his Imperial Concubines in past lives. Xu Muyan initially questions him but accepts the evidence he presents. 651
