Background / History

Keqing originated from Liyue in Teyvat and arrived in the modern world alongside other Liyue figures. She was sent to the mainland ahead of the others to establish a foothold and search for Ye Ming, while Liyue International’s overseas resources were prepared for transfer. 30

Before arriving, Keqing was known as an extremely dedicated worker. She had personally surveyed Liyue’s territory for land-development work, and company accounts describe her as a workaholic comparable to Ganyu. 19 38 Her earlier resentment toward her Vision stemmed from the belief that others credited her achievements to divine power rather than her own efforts; after failing to destroy it, she eventually accepted it as part of her strength. 31

In the modern world, Keqing became a project manager at Liyue International and arranged for Ye Ming to serve as the project’s direct liaison. 15 17 She first met him on the subway while presenting herself as a Keqing cosplayer, then later helped him and Laffey commission bridal-themed cosplay outfits. 1 16 17

Appearance

Keqing is a young woman with long purple hair and purple eyes, often styled in a professional appearance that contrasts with her cosplay enthusiasm. 1 25

• Long, glossy purple hair.
• Purple-colored contacts when presenting herself as a Keqing cosplayer. 1 25
• Usually wears professional suits, black stockings, and high heels while working. 25 27
• Commissioned and wore a self-designed Keqing bridal outfit for cosplay and wedding photographs. 16 17 18

Personality

Keqing is decisive, methodical, and intensely action-oriented. She approaches romance much as she approaches project management: identifying an objective, preparing contingencies, and deliberately creating opportunities to achieve it. 19 38 39 Her strategy to live and work with Ye Ming was explicitly meant to secure her place as his “main wife.” 38

Despite her boldness, Keqing is inexperienced and visibly shy when her plans become reality. Her attempt to rush her relationship with Ye Ming leaves her nervous, uncertain, and embarrassed. 28 29 31

She is also competitive toward potential romantic rivals, particularly Ganyu and Hu Tao. Although she concealed finding Ye Ming in order to preserve her advantage, she feels genuine guilt over deceiving companions she considers sisters. 19 30 48 49 She is affectionate and generous toward Laffey, whom she does not view as a rival. 39

Story Role / Major Arcs

First Meetings and Bridal Cosplay

Keqing initially appears as a polite subway passenger cosplaying as herself from Genshin Impact. Her conversation with Ye Ming reveals their shared interest in the game and her strong attachment to Keqing’s character. 1 She later reconnects with him while helping Laffey obtain a bridal cosplay outfit, commissioning her own bridal attire and arranging free wedding photographs with Ye Ming and Laffey. 16 17 18

Liyue International Collaboration

Keqing uses Liyue International’s new project to bring Ye Ming into her professional orbit. As project manager, she arranges to work directly with him and cultivates a deliberately familiar relationship despite his growing suspicions about the company’s unusual arrangements. 15 25 26

Pursuit of Ye Ming

After identifying Ye Ming, Keqing formulates a plan to secure a special place in his life before other Liyue women can arrive. She spikes his wine during a business dinner and brings him to a hotel suite, but her confidence gives way to hesitation and inexperience. 19 27 28 29

Once Ye Ming recognizes her extraordinary identity, he accepts her feelings and asks her to become one of his wives. Keqing agrees immediately and is overwhelmed when he publicly acknowledges her as his wife to Fu Hua. 29 30

Cohabitation and “Main Wife” Strategy

Ye Ming invites Keqing to live with him, and she eagerly accepts. 31 She moves in with minimal luggage, intentionally creating reasons for future shopping trips and more time alone with him. 39 At work, she prepares a gaming station for Ye Ming and frames their office arrangement as both professional cooperation and relationship-building. 37 38

Reunion with Liyue Companions

Keqing meets Ganyu, Hu Tao, and Enterprise at the airport but initially conceals that she has already found Ye Ming. 44 49 Her secrecy creates tension: Hu Tao becomes suspicious and follows her, while Enterprise independently realizes Keqing may lead her to the Commander after sensing Ye Ming’s presence on her. 48 50
