Background

Xu Nan was a 19-year-old human living with his younger sibling Xin'er in the terraced house left by his mother and stepfather. Before gaining powers, his years of independent living had already given him the personal feats Nimble-Fingered and Versatile. 1 3 5

When Earth faced a future merger with a fantasy world, Xu Nan inherited the Ron Sorcerer bloodline and received a character card. His initial attributes heavily favored Intelligence, Perception, and Charisma, with Charisma beginning at 18. 1

The Ron bloodline required him to gain strength through humiliating or shameless tasks. Although initially resistant to its demands, Xu Nan chose to pursue power and completed his initial awakening, becoming a Ron Sorcerer. 1 3

Appearance

Xu Nan is consistently described as exceptionally handsome, a quality inherited from his mother. His appearance, charisma, and Radiant Presence frequently attract unwanted attention and influence how others judge him. 4 6 114

• Began with 18 Charisma and raised it to 19 immediately after awakening. 1 3
• Reached 24 Charisma by his Chapter 176 character card, listed as Extraordinary. 179
• Can convincingly present as a woman with styling and makeup; his Christmas-party disguise caused Frey and Xiu Yifeng to mistake him for a woman and fight over him. 114 115
• Can alter the appearance of the Heartthrob Set through a command word. 566
• His high Charm eventually developed into Universal Gravitation, Heartthrob, and Supernatural Charm. 179 255 585

Personality

Xu Nan is ambitious beneath an outwardly lazy and opportunistic demeanor. When asked to choose a path of advancement, he rejected specialization outright: he wanted melee ability, ranged power, prestige, appearance, and every other advantage available to him. 95

He is practical, strategic, and willing to exploit loopholes in quests, systems, and social situations. He treats Shame Points, Activity Points, equipment, and alchemical goods as resources to be managed efficiently, often combining genuine responsibility with shameless profit-seeking. 36 100 210

Despite his frequent scheming, Xu Nan is protective of those he considers his own. He worries over Xin'er's safety, cares for Qin Lele when she falls ill, protects students during dangerous exercises, and increasingly takes responsibility for Anonymous City's residents. 21 155 213 383

Abilities & Skills

Ron Sorcerer Bloodline

Xu Nan's main profession is the Ron Sorcerer bloodline, a mana-based spellcasting class that advances through Shame Points and bloodline tasks rather than conventional study.

• Heartthrob influences fate and can draw powerful people or events toward him; unlike ordinary Charm abilities, it cannot simply be switched off. 255
