Background

Lin Fei grew up in an abusive household. Her father, a struggling actor, drank, gambled, cheated, and abused her mother; her parents ultimately divorced while Lin Fei was still young. Her mother brought her to Jingcheng, worked multiple jobs, and supported both Lin Fei’s education and music training. 14

She showed exceptional musical and academic ability, entering Jing University on her own merits in the same year she debuted. Despite an intense performance schedule during her peak, she completed her coursework and graduated. 14

At eighteen, Lin Fei was discovered and promoted by gold-medal composer Dong Hui, who helped establish her as the “National Goddess” and the Xia Kingdom’s Last Heavenly Queen. Dong Hui also supported the founding of Feiyang Music Movement. 14 15

Dong Hui’s death devastated her personally and professionally. Soon afterward, her father publicly accused her of being unfilial, triggering widespread slander and harassment. Although she had repeatedly given him money and cleaned up his gambling debts, Lin Fei did not publicly defend herself at the time; she eventually withdrew from the industry. Her agent clarified the family situation years after her retirement. 15

Her comeback began after Song Dao’s work rekindled her desire to sing. She publicly defended his song “Always Been Quiet,” later met him as the mysterious songwriter Water Strike Three Thousand, and signed him to Feiyang Music Movement. 14 23 24

Appearance

Lin Fei is noted for an ethereal, youthful appearance that often leads people to mistake her for someone in her early twenties despite being twenty-nine at her introduction. 12

• Fair complexion, delicate features, and an especially youthful face. 12 23
• Dip-dyed flaxen hair at her first appearance. 12
• Long, straight legs and a poised, model-like bearing. 12 71
• Frequently carries a cool, aloof stage image, though her expression softens noticeably around people she trusts. 123 191
• After taking the “Youthful Appearance” medicine, her physical condition and bare-faced appearance return to an eighteen-year-old state. 243 248

Personality

Lin Fei is approachable and professional in private, without the arrogance expected of a superstar. She treats Song Dao respectfully from their first meeting and is known for greeting company staff warmly. 12 23

Her gentleness coexists with a fiercely independent streak. After years of enduring abuse and rumors in silence, she chooses to publicly support Song Dao rather than let critics dictate when she may speak. 14

As an employer, Lin Fei prioritizes artists’ security and long-term rewards over maximizing her own profit. Her preferred business principle is mutual benefit, and she is willing to offer unusually favorable terms to people whose talent she recognizes. 24 79 91

Despite her public confidence, Lin Fei struggles with insecurity in her singing and emotional interpretation, rooted in her past experiences. Song Dao’s encouragement and teaching help her become more confident and expressive as an artist. 118 120
