Background

Liu Shiwen is the legitimate daughter of the Liu Family, a prominent but low-profile Didu clan whose protectors are cultivated from within the family rather than recruited as outside retainers. Her direct-line status and appearance make her a valuable asset in the family's marriage-alliance plans. 231 321

As the Liu Family's financial position worsens, its elders attempt to use Shiwen's marriage to secure support and preserve the family's standing. This pressure becomes the central conflict of her story. 287 321 322

Appearance

Liu Shiwen is regarded as one of Didu's foremost beauties, ranking among the top three on its beauty list. Her appearance is considered comparable to Su Lin's other companions. 302 324

• Frequently wears makeup and maintains an extensive skincare routine. 335
• Is commonly treated as the Liu Family's sheltered “little princess.” 245 359

Personality

Shiwen is compassionate and soft-hearted, particularly toward injured animals. Xiao Feiyu initially gains access to her attention by exploiting her concern for his cat, Xiao Bai; once she learns he manipulated the situation, she is furious at being treated like a fool. 233 236 237

Although her brother regards her as naïve and sweet, she is not easily swayed by calculated people or empty status. She rejects Xiao Feiyu for his ulterior motives and past conduct, openly dismisses Zheng Shijie's arrogance, and repeatedly refuses marriage candidates selected for the Liu Family's benefit. 233 236 330 333

Her feelings for Su Lin leave her initially insecure because of his other partners and the Liu Family's declining circumstances. Over time, she chooses to state her desires openly, defends Su Lin before her parents, and accepts the consequences of pursuing their relationship. 304 315 351 365
