Background / History

Ding Han arrives in Stream City after clearing the Death Mine dungeon, receiving Randel's Shield and three Achievement Points. With no job or lodging, he persistently applies for internet-cafe manager positions until reaching Feiyang Internet Cafe. 10

At Feiyang, he becomes a trusted employee under owner Lu Xiaobei. He later writes My 23-Year-Old Beautiful Boss, a novel that openly uses himself as the protagonist and Lu Xiaobei as the heroine; the story imagines his rise from poverty through esports and business success. 13 27

As a Player, Ding Han develops into a frontline sword fighter while remaining active in civilian work. He acquires the blue Tier 2 Legion Blade after defeating a Mutated Direwolf BOSS with Zhang Ruolin, Xiao Bai, and Ax, then continues building his arsenal through boss battles and black-market trades. 48 60 69

After being severely injured and losing memory of seven days, he wakes at Jiangning City's Binjiang Sanatorium and Rehabilitation Center. Cai Cai informs him that an NPC saved him from near death; Ding Han subsequently resumes fighting and reconnects with allies from Stream City. 98

In Huaining City, he works at Luomei and later contributes technical expertise to Yue Ning Group. His repair knowledge, programming, and algorithm work become valuable alongside his Player identity, including the completion of Yue Ning Mall's core algorithm. 104 275 310

Ding Han's standing in Star Abyss rises sharply after he obtains the server's first Power Weapon and repeatedly leads players against Aberrations, hostile factions, and foreign-server opponents. He becomes a central combatant for Huaining City's player forces and a leading figure in the Crimson Dragon Country faction. 204 278 327

He eventually becomes Lin Qingying's boyfriend after their long period as roommates and friends. Their relationship becomes public within their residential community and Yue Ning Group's social circle. 291 327 343

Appearance

Ding Han is described by others as having a sunny, comfortable presence rather than the appearance of a delicate “pretty boy.” His exceptionally high physical attributes also make him appear robust and energetic. 256 383

• Often regarded as handsome by acquaintances and strangers alike. 104 383
• Possesses an imposing physique due to his Player-enhanced Strength, Agility, and Spirit. 200 256
• Can enter Combat Form and revert to his normal human appearance afterward. 90 232

Personality

Ding Han is resourceful, ambitious, and unusually persistent. He seeks work when stranded in Stream City, uses the black market to secure supplies, and continuously develops both his combat power and professional skills. 10 18 69

He is cautious with valuable information and equipment. After acquiring the Primal Flame Ring, he conceals it to avoid provoking envy or attracting danger. 60

Despite his confidence and occasional showmanship, Ding Han has firm personal principles. He refuses Huang Minyu's offer to exploit Yue Ning Group's confidential strategy, accepting the resulting hostility rather than betray Lin Qingying. 176

He is protective of friends and teammates, whether warning Zhang Ruolin and Xiao Bai to keep a low profile against Ragnarok, defending Lu Xiaobei after she is injured, or arranging Story's funeral before pursuing vengeance. 54 255 308

Ding Han has a mischievous side and enjoys displaying his success, notably showing off his Maybach S680 to friends at Feiyang Chain Esports Hotel. 323

• He becomes severely intoxicated after very little red wine and may draw his sword while drunk. 77
• He is uncomfortable with excessive public attention, even when asked to perform music onstage. 274
• His name was chosen by Old Ding from the idea that “plum blossoms smell best from bitter cold,” reflecting endurance through hardship. 175
