Background

Han Shuyu was Lin Yuan's schoolmate and remained connected to him after graduation. Though she generally presents herself as quiet and refined around others, she says she can relax, joke, and speak freely only around Lin Yuan. Their old habit of bickering becomes the foundation of their renewed closeness. 22 93 254

She comes from an affluent and well-connected Han family in Hongyun County. Her family members work across the local public system; her father, Han Yi, is a public official, while her relatives' connections extend to the police, labor bureau, and other departments. 21 150 151 345

Her mother died, and her father's remarriage left her feeling abandoned and emotionally insecure. She later opens up to Lin Yuan about these experiences after a failed attempt to cook for him. 47

Han Shuyu studied law and chose court work because it suited her degree. Although her family connections are formidable, she is familiar with legal procedure and personally offers to draft a complaint for unpaid migrant wages. 150

She is emotionally sensitive to separation and uncertainty. Before their relationship is confirmed, she overthinks Lin Yuan's absences and worries that he does not return her feelings; later, she openly admits that she fears losing his affection. 93 167
