Background / History

Liu Mengran is a second-year student at Dragon University from an ordinary family. Her mother is a teacher, her father is a large-scale farmer, and she has an older brother who works as a designer for an advertising company in Magic City. 3 29

Her father’s recurring heart condition leaves the family unable to afford a needed bypass surgery. After exhausting relatives as sources of loans, Liu Mengran faces a shortfall of roughly 30,000–40,000 yuan. 3 She initially considers borrowing money from Lu Fan because of his family background and Principal Lu Fanghua’s support for him. 3 4

Liu Mengran agrees to become Lu Fan’s girlfriend in exchange for a 50,000-yuan loan, believing that his apparent foolishness would limit the arrangement to innocent affection. 3 She later makes clear that she regards the money as a debt and intends to repay it, even refusing to take a share of Lu Fan’s early earnings. 5 7

As Lu Fan’s recovered intelligence, unusual luck, and supernatural ability become apparent, Liu Mengran gradually accepts that he is no longer the “idiot” she believed him to be. She remains concerned about the risks surrounding his money-making schemes and repeatedly questions his increasingly unbelievable successes. 6 29 34 35

Personality

Liu Mengran is gentle, kind-hearted, and comparatively down-to-earth despite her status as the university’s number one campus belle. Unlike Liu Ruyan, she is noted for being approachable and virtuous. 14 17

Her family’s financial crisis forces her into a compromise she considers contrary to her principles, but she remains determined to repay Lu Fan rather than exploit his wealth. 3 5 7 She is frugal by habit and often protests Lu Fan’s expensive gifts, lavish meals, and excessive spending. 7 30 41

She becomes more cautious after realizing that Lu Fan hid his recovery and manipulated her expectations. 6 24 Even so, she grows increasingly affectionate and protective toward him, showing jealousy over Liu Ruyan and Ling Fang while also warning him against scams and danger. 14 29 34

Beneath her gentle public image, Liu Mengran has a mischievous side: she recounts an awkward love-letter mix-up from her freshman year during a game with her roommates. 33
