Background

Su Lili is Su Zhenxing and Liu Yanran's eldest biological daughter and Su Chen's elder sister. Before Su Chen's birth, Su Zhenxing placed high expectations on her and gave her an elite education in social rules, business, and corporate management; even after Su Chen's disappearance, he continued preparing her as a possible heir to part of the Su family fortune 349.

By the time of the Haishi business gathering, she was already preparing her own company's strategy and development plan. She was later compelled to transfer that company to Su Chen as compensation for her past conduct 37 60.

When Su Chen was abducted as a child, Su Lili witnessed the traffickers take him but did not seek help. The revelation of this act becomes the core grievance between the siblings after Su Chen returns to the family 39 60.

Appearance

Su Lili is initially presented as a polished, well-dressed businesswoman. After returning from America as Fusi Duo's inspecting president, she appears more imposing and refined, often wearing sunglasses and accompanied by company staff 335. Her face is later slashed by an assailant, leaving her visibly disfigured and frequently bandaged 357 384.

• Her face is severely cut during the attack outside Yanbin Restaurant 357.
• She is described as haggard and injured while imprisoned, with dark circles, bruising, and visible wounds 548.
• Her disfigurement becomes a major source of anger and insecurity, particularly when Fang Qingqing repeatedly draws attention to it 390 391.

Personality

Su Lili is proud, status-conscious, and fiercely resentful of threats to her position in the Su family. She initially dismisses Su Chen as unfit for elite social circles because of his orphanage upbringing, while privately blaming his return for taking away affection and inheritance prospects that she believed belonged to her 38 58.

She is capable and disciplined when pursuing influence. Her diligence at Su Corporation convinces Su Zhenxing that she has matured, but her work ethic is ultimately part of an effort to regain his trust and access confidential company material 387 393.

Her defining weakness is her fixation on Yang Siwen and revenge. She repeatedly chooses power, status, and retaliation over family loyalty, even after suffering abandonment, disfigurement, and imprisonment. Her apparent apologies and repentance are repeatedly framed as calculated attempts to regain access to Su Zhenxing and the Su Corporation 154 384 386.

• Her espionage is exposed through evidence supplied by Su Chen, resulting in her arrest 395.

Relationships

• Su Chen — Biological younger brother and principal adversary. Her failure to intervene in his childhood abduction fuels their conflict; she later attempts to drug, traffic, and arrange the murder of him, while he repeatedly exposes and retaliates against her 39 151 357 395.
• Su Zhenxing — Father. He once regarded her as a potential successor, but her schemes against Su Chen and the Su Corporation lead him to disown her; he later gives her a probationary second chance before her espionage destroys his trust again 349 385 394.
• Liu Yanran — Mother. Liu Yanran helps arrange Su Lili's trip to America, believing it will secure her future; Su Lili later refuses to recognize her as a mother and deliberately torments her after returning 265 335 386 393.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Conflict with Su Chen

Su Lili openly excludes Su Chen from a business gathering and belittles him for growing up in an orphanage. When Su Chen exposes her role in his childhood abduction, she is terrified into surrendering her company as compensation 38 39 60.

After Yang Siwen's exposure, she remains loyal to him and turns her anger on Su Chen. Her supposed apology through the Xinli Street shop is a trap: she prepares drugged water and intends to have Su Chen taken away, but he forces her to drink it instead. She is later abducted from the shop by unknown men and recovered a week later 149 151 152 154.

Disownment and American Exile

Su Zhenxing publicly expels Su Lili from the Su family after scandals surrounding her actions threaten the family's reputation. Penniless after her release from the sanatorium, she accepts He Mu and Liu Yanran's proposal to go to America, hoping to gain status, reunite with Yang Siwen, and take revenge on Su Chen 258 260 265.

The arrangement is a betrayal: she is sent into exploitation overseas and eventually held in a Red Light District. She survives by gaining Edward's favor, then returns to China under the prestigious title of Fusi Duo's inspecting president 265 334.

Return to Haishi

On her return, Su Lili publicly rejects Liu Yanran and refuses to acknowledge her as her mother. She also treats Su Zhenxing's attempts at reconciliation with contempt, believing that he abandoned her in favor of Su Chen 335 350.

After being disfigured during an assassination-related conflict, she uses her injury and apparent repentance to regain admission to the Su family. Su Zhenxing hires her as his secretary, unaware that she intends to use the position to reach Su Corporation's secrets 357 384 386.

Exposure and Imprisonment

Su Lili obtains and sends Su Corporation's confidential Optical Module documents to Edward, seeking greater power to pursue revenge. The National Security Bureau investigates, and she is arrested for commercial espionage after Su Chen provides incriminating evidence 393 395.

In prison, she learns that Yang Siwen never loved her and had treated her as a tool for stealing corporate information. Su Chen later exploits her hostility toward Liu Yanran by asking her to record a cruel “blessing” for Liu Yanran's lobotomy 548 549.
