Background / History

In the original timeline recalled by Ye Feng, Xia Shiyu was Ye Feng's childhood sweetheart. During their final year of high school, her father, Xia Junming, developed uremia. Ye Feng neglected her while pursuing Yan Huan, and Xia Junming eventually died because the family could not afford a kidney transplant. Xia Shiyu then attended a northern 985 university with her tuition and living costs waived. 12

That timeline's Xia Shiyu began a business in her third year of university. Before turning thirty, she had built a listed company, accumulated a net worth in the tens of billions, and became one of the country's few female billionaires. She later rescued Ye Feng when he was framed, despite the vast gap in their positions. 6 12

In the altered timeline, Su Lin donated 200,000 yuan toward Xia Junming's medical treatment. Xia Shiyu regarded the money as life-saving aid and promised to repay him by working for him after university; Su Lin also required that the donation remain secret. 6 Desperate to fund the transplant, she later trusted Ye Feng's plan to profit from Necklaces of Fate. The game's update ruined the investment, leaving her regretful and disillusioned with Ye Feng. 16 20 21

Su Lin subsequently lent her the money needed for her father's treatment and had her sign a work contract. Xia Shiyu signed without reading its terms, trusting him completely. 22 23 Xia Junming's surgery was completed by Xia Shiyu's eighteenth birthday, after which Su Lin arranged for a caregiver so she would not have to remain at the hospital constantly. 46

Appearance

Xia Shiyu is a delicate, petite young woman with an exquisite, palm-sized face. Her recorded height varies between 162 and 163 cm, while her weight is listed as 44 kg. 6 21 107

• Delicate rather than dignified beauty, contrasting with Lin Xiaowan's more elegant appearance. 6
• Small build and soft, refined features. 6
• Initially used an old-fashioned phone with a basic gray-and-white interface. 48

Personality

Xia Shiyu is deeply grateful and conscientious. Su Lin's donation leaves a lasting impression on her because she views it as the help that kept her family from collapsing; she repeatedly seeks a way to repay him. 6 22 Her father’s illness initially places her under severe emotional and financial pressure, making her reserved, anxious, and willing to take a dangerous chance on Ye Feng's investment proposal. 15 21

She is trusting and somewhat self-effacing around Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan, believing their family backgrounds and abilities make her inferior to them. 47 However, she becomes firm once she has made a decision: after Ye Feng's failed scheme, she cuts ties with him and refuses to engage with him again. 26

As she assumes greater corporate responsibility, Xia Shiyu becomes calmer and more strategically minded. She attributes her composure under pressure to Su Lin's guidance, while colleagues recognize her growing management ability. 103 169
