Background / History

Zhao Xin first meets Han Fei while both are acting as vigilantes against local troublemakers. He introduces himself as a descendant of Zhao Zilong of Changshan, and Han Fei comes to regard him as a loyal person who retains his moral bottom line despite his tendency to fight thugs. Their friendship lasts for years, and Han Fei’s influence changes Zhao Xin’s path from a high-school dropout to a student at Giant Gorge University. 1

At university, Zhao Xin follows Han Fei into a high-risk loan scheme based on Han Fei’s prediction that online usury platforms would be shut down. When the prediction proves correct, Zhao Xin declares Han Fei his “real brother.” 3 Within a year, the pair establish Black Star Company; Zhao Xin becomes its director, studies economics and management, and ultimately finds his strongest aptitude in combat and security work. 4

Han Fei later sends Zhao Xin into a chaotic war zone alongside Liu Chuang. Zhao Xin develops into an officer with a talent for maneuver warfare, repeatedly leading troops around enemy lines without casualties, though he is criticized for charging too far ahead. 31

Appearance

Zhao Xin is associated with black formalwear and later appears in full Black Armor carrying a black spear. During the Silver Spear fleet’s return from the Symbiotic Armor Planet, he wears his armor with a high ponytail and has adopted a markedly more severe expression. 4 85 178

• Usually wears black clothing, including suits and sunglasses. 4 30
• Fights in Black Armor with a black spear. 85 178

Personality

Zhao Xin is intensely loyal to Han Fei and readily trusts his judgment, from their first financial scheme to the revelation of the coming alien invasion. He promises Han Fei that he will die first if war comes, and accepts Han Fei’s decisions without hesitation. 6 37

He is boastful, playful, and socially naïve. His exaggerated stories of battlefield success and embarrassing misunderstanding with women make him a frequent target of Liu Chuang’s teasing. 31 He also uses blunt encouragement to push Ge Xiaolun toward becoming more confident and dedicated to training. 78

Interstellar warfare tempers Zhao Xin’s flippancy. As commander of the Silver Spear, he becomes serious, decisive, and protective of his subordinates, but remains willing to admit his own failures after a mission costs many soldiers their lives. 178 184
