Background / History

Before joining Corona Technology Company, Liu Qiuya built an extensive executive career in several major cities, serving as a CEO at multiple companies. Her career was repeatedly derailed after she beat Li Haoying, the heir of Gaofeng Group, in response to his harassment. Li used his family’s influence to have her suppressed, framed, fired, and stripped of her shares, forcing her to return to Ning City, where her parents lived. 46

She intended to use Ning City as a base for a professional comeback. Chen Feng hired her to help manage his newly acquired factory, and she rapidly imposed order on its previously disorganized workforce. Though initially frustrated by being kept unaware of the company’s purpose, she remained once Chen Feng disclosed the virtual-reality project. 18 19

As Corona Technology grew, Liu Qiuya became its public-facing executive and operational core. She organized the launch of the Version 1.0 Virtual Reality Helmet, handled negotiations with Goose Factory, recruited personnel, managed suppliers and contracts, and oversaw the company’s expansion. 23 25 30 31

Her success at Corona Technology made her financially independent. Chen Feng awarded her at least 100 million yuan in commission, allowing her to describe herself to her parents as a billionaire and support their retirement. 84

Appearance

Liu Qiuya is described as having a top-tier appearance. At 28, she was unmarried when she joined Corona Technology, though her professional capability was Chen Feng’s primary reason for hiring her. 19

• Known for the cold, intimidating professional image that earned her the “Ice Queen” nickname. 18
• Usually presents herself as a composed and capable businesswoman. 63

Personality

Liu Qiuya is highly disciplined, exacting, and professionally direct. She dislikes uncertainty in her work, openly challenged Chen Feng when the company’s plans were unclear, and consistently evaluates projects for practical obstacles such as staffing, production capacity, security, and potential misuse of technology. 18 19 95

Her commanding manner is balanced by strong loyalty toward Chen Feng and Corona Technology. She remains committed through corporate attacks, kidnappings, and escalating threats, repeatedly taking on company operations while Chen Feng focuses on research. 97 104 165

Despite her strong exterior, repeated abductions leave her fearful and emotionally vulnerable. She becomes highly vigilant about safety, seeks comfort from her parents, and increasingly regards Chen Feng as the person she can depend on. 64 88 162

Liu Qiuya develops romantic feelings for Chen Feng after he rescues her. She becomes jealous of women such as Sallya and Sophia, though she remains hesitant to openly pursue him. 64 86 242 288
