Background

Xiao Yu founded Ta Shan Investment Co., Ltd. while abroad and moved its headquarters back to China after returning. The company maintains two overseas offices and employs 215 people domestically, operating in equity, securities, and debt investment across domestic and foreign markets. Its equity investments emphasize domestic small and medium-sized start-ups, while its securities business is primarily overseas-focused. 38 39

Before meeting Lu Xing, Xiao Yu had not dated and centered much of her life around work, fitness, beauty treatments, travel, and socializing with friends. Luxury brands commonly sent goods to her home for selection rather than requiring her to shop in person. 70

Her life changes when she and Lu Xing begin repeatedly exchanging bodies. Their first in-person meeting takes place at her luxury apartment, where she initially offers him the apartment if he can solve the exchange problem. He refuses to exploit her situation, establishing the trust that defines their partnership. 9

Appearance

Xiao Yu is a tall woman, standing over 1.75 meters, with a poised, well-proportioned figure, fair radiant skin, and delicate, bright eyes. Her appearance is frequently described as both dignified and striking; depending on her expression, she can seem gentle, sunny, or like a distant “cold goddess.” 11 36

• Refined facial features and a naturally noble, composed bearing. 11 112
• Usually wears polished business attire, makeup, jewelry, and high heels for formal occasions. 113 141
• Has dark, smooth hair and favors an elegant professional presentation while working. 182
• Keeps a private collection of Hanfu and cheongsams, though she was initially reluctant to wear them publicly. 73 177
• Her Warring States robe and other Hanfu styles markedly emphasize her classical Eastern beauty. 177

Personality

Xiao Yu initially comes across as cold, private, and uninterested in unnecessary socializing. She is protective of her reputation, personal space, and carefully built professional image, especially when Lu Xing has to impersonate her at work. 9 38

She is also proud, capable, and decisive. Her confidence in her academic background and investment judgment is balanced by a willingness to guide Lu Xing through her business responsibilities and his university life. 25 39 41

Around Lu Xing, Xiao Yu becomes playful, teasing, and easily embarrassed. The body exchanges force both of them to confront each other’s vulnerabilities, but she gradually communicates more openly about attraction, jealousy, and her worries about his growing number of companions. 71 112 118 183

Despite occasional jealousy—particularly regarding Qing Yue and Heli—she grows more accepting of Lu Xing’s unusual life and relationships without abandoning her own feelings or boundaries. 118 183 192
