Background
Lin Xuan grew up in a Qinling village and spent his childhood exploring the mountains with other local children, catching loaches and using traps. As he grew older, many of those friends left the village for work, while Lin Xuan eventually returned and became a forest ranger and outdoor livestreamer 117 301.
His grandfather taught him archery using a heavy yew bow with a beef-tendon string. Lin Xuan retained the skill and later demonstrated it by striking a mineral-water bottle from 100 meters away 55.
His early livestreaming work included assisting a giant panda mother's delivery, protecting the panda family, helping police apprehend poachers, and guiding elephants away from a village. These actions brought him recognition from conservation and law-enforcement figures 139 252.
Lin Xuan's System grants him items, knowledge, and access to a System Mall. He used its equipment and learned knowledge to identify and study the poisonous Qinling Amanita, then preserved the specimens and wrote a paper before handing further research to specialists 64.

Personality
Lin Xuan is responsible, practical, and protective of both wildlife and people. He prepares for danger rather than seeking it, warns viewers not to imitate his risky expeditions, and accepts the physical burden of hunting or rescue work to care for the animals dependent on him 54 164 206.
Despite growing fame, he remains community-minded. He shares valuable finds with companions, funds village infrastructure, seeks villagers' approval before major conservation changes, and recruits local residents for wildlife-protection work 124 128 168 309.
He is initially inexperienced in romance, failing to understand the meaning of An Ke'er's first kiss. Over time, he becomes direct and committed in their relationship, pursuing her, proposing that they stay together forever, and building a family with her 155 168 218 308 323.
