Background

Xia Wen and Lin Xiaoyi have been inseparable childhood friends, attending the same schools from kindergarten through university. Initially, Xia Wen viewed Bai Zhi as a notorious scumbag because of his history with several girlfriends. After investigating the parallels between his past relationships and Anomaly incidents, she concluded that his actions were likely attempts to protect others from Anomalies rather than acts of malice. 40

She first tried to discourage Lin Xiaoyi from pursuing Bai Zhi, warning that exposing his secrets could endanger her friend. When Lin Xiaoyi refused to give up, Xia Wen became her self-appointed wingman, applying her Galgame-style “favorability” strategies to their dates. 40 119

Although she was initially indifferent toward becoming a Player, Xia Wen accompanied Lin Xiaoyi in seeking a path into the supernatural world. Her decision was also driven by her refusal to remain helpless during future Anomaly incidents. 312 1349 She and Lin Xiaoyi were assigned to the same B-rank Middle-Tier Station for their first Dungeon mission and received an A-rank evaluation. 385

Personality

Xia Wen is playful, outspoken, and prone to making inappropriate jokes, particularly when discussing romance or doujinshi. She considers herself an expert wingman despite having no practical dating experience, and often approaches social situations as though she were optimizing a game route. 119 587

Beneath her carefree demeanor, she is highly resilient and dependable in a crisis. She remains calm under extreme pressure, thinks through danger methodically, and is fiercely protective of Lin Xiaoyi. Her best friend is explicitly her “forbidden scale”; threats to Lin Xiaoyi provoke Xia Wen to act decisively. 1349

She is also resourceful and perceptive. Her deductions have exposed hidden motives in quests, while her sharp spatial awareness has caught navigational mistakes others overlooked. 588 1738

Abilities & Skills

Data Stream Assassin Style

Xia Wen follows an assassin route centered on analysis, deduction, and reliable one-hit kills rather than blind aggression.

• Uses her personal Core Talent to simulate dangerous outcomes and select survivable paths.
• In the Ninth Medical Zone, she had already “died” more than a dozen different deaths in mental simulations before proceeding without injury. 1348
• Her predictive ability functions almost like precognition, allowing her to guide herself and others through ambushes and hazards. 1776
• Favors efficient, minimal dagger strikes: she attacks, kills, and withdraws without lingering. 1748

Assassination Domain

Xia Wen developed her own domain skill after intensive growth within the Demon Refining Pot. 1739

• The domain was incomplete when first revealed, but instantly killed two enemies from the Heavenly Wolf team. 1777
• Its effective range is limited; White-faced Scholar avoided approaching her directly and attempted to exhaust her from outside its range. 1777
• Xia Wen exploited the enemy's assumptions about her condition, feigning vulnerability to close the distance and kill Scholar. 1777

“Did You Guess I Died?”

A rare resurrection skill obtained early in her Player career. 331

• Allows Xia Wen to die, revive after five minutes, and remain invulnerable during that interval. 331
• Bai Zhi identified its potential for high-risk bomb-carrying tactics. 331
• After revival, her stamina and Spiritual Energy fall to their lowest levels. 1923

Reverse Harem Technique

A Rare skill restricted to female users. 584

• Used to confuse the Librarian and escape its immediate grasp in the Library. 584
• Uses a handsome male image as its template; Xia Wen repeatedly used Bai Zhi's image and attempted to blame the skill's automatic selection. 592
• Its effect was insufficient to prevent the Librarian from continuing to pursue her. 586

Shadow Skills

Xia Wen can use Shadow Puppet and Shadow Infiltration abilities shared by Bai Zhi. 1498

• Can enter shadows and split off a Shadow Puppet.
• Shares senses with her Shadow Puppet.
• Is markedly less proficient with these abilities than Bai Zhi. 1498

Equipment & Items

• Chemical bombs — Received crafted chemical bombs from Bai Zhi and asked to participate in their development. 330
• Gas mask — Given alongside Bai Zhi's chemical bombs. 330
• Dagger — Her preferred weapon for close-range assassination. 1748
• Invisibility Veil — Used by the Chronicler to save Xia Wen from the Librarian; it was not stated to be Xia Wen's personal equipment. 586

Relationships

• Lin Xiaoyi — Her childhood friend, best friend, and foremost priority. Xia Wen joined the Player world alongside her, repeatedly acts as her wingman, and risks herself to save her during Mandatory Quests. 322 1349
• Bai Zhi — Guild master, teammate, bomb-crafting partner, and eventual love interest. Xia Wen's view of him changed after she investigated his past; she later confessed her feelings to him. 40 330 1931
• Fireworks of Romance — Teammate and close combat partner. Xia Wen refused to abandon her while they were hunted by Heavenly Wolf, protected her through the ambush, and worked with her to deceive their pursuers. 1776 1778
• Mu Qiansè — Friend and fellow member of Bai Zhi's group. The two initially shared concerns over Lin Xiaoyi's fixation on Bai Zhi. 45
• Tian Huo — Sworn sister. 518
• The Chronicler — Rescued Xia Wen from a pursuing Librarian with an Invisibility Veil; they subsequently navigated the transformed Library together. 586

Story Role / Major Arcs

Investigation of Bai Zhi

Xia Wen investigated Bai Zhi's former relationships and inferred that his abrupt breakups and disappearances were connected to him protecting people from Anomalies. She continued warning Lin Xiaoyi about the dangers around him even after accepting that he was not simply malicious. 40

Lin Xiaoyi's Wingman

She organized Lin Xiaoyi's cinema date with Bai Zhi, scouting the theater, communicating through an earpiece, and treating every interaction as a calculated favorability increase. 119 She later encouraged Lin Xiaoyi to showcase her musical talents rather than compete with Mu Qiansè's cooking. 703

Ninth Medical Zone Mandatory Quest

While trapped in a hospital simulation, Xia Wen entered the dangerous inner area alone to locate Lin Xiaoyi. Using repeated data simulations, she infiltrated a procession of nurses, pursued the hospital beds into a vast plaza, and continued searching after realizing that the apparent Lin Xiaoyi was actually a disguised Shadow Guard. 1348 1349 1350

Conflict with Heavenly Wolf

Xia Wen protected the cursed and injured Fireworks of Romance while they were hunted through a rain-soaked town. She used her Assassination Domain to eliminate enemies, endured severe injuries, deceived White-faced Scholar, and ultimately killed him. 1776 1777

Later Growth

After reaching Epic evaluation and condensing her Professional Core, Xia Wen continued advancing toward Myth alongside Bai Zhi's group. Despite being told she could reach Myth faster at the Final Sea, she refused to leave Lin Xiaoyi behind. 1948 1997

Trivia

• Xia Wen is an adult-comic creator with a strong psychological tolerance for disturbing situations. 1349
• She is highly susceptible to snack-based bribery; Bai Zhi resolved one major misunderstanding by offering her two large bags of snacks. 954
• Her cooking is notoriously poor; Lin Xiaoyi rated it at roughly level one, far below her own and Mu Qiansè's. 703
• She claims proficiency in twenty-four knot-tying techniques. 1780
