Background

Early life and education

Mei is the daughter of Ryoma Raiden. When her father was imprisoned over an economic dispute during her high-school years, she became isolated: classmates and teachers treated her as though she shared his guilt. The experience left her determined to study law and eventually clear his name. 74 466

She met Xu Qi online before meeting him in person. At a parent-teacher conference, Xu Qi defended her against the hostility directed at her, becoming the first person to offer dependable support during that period. Their friendship gradually developed into a committed relationship. 6 320 466

Mei attends East China University of Political Science and Law, commonly called Huazheng. She plans to pursue a master's degree in law and had already passed the bar examination before taking a year away from school during her pregnancy. 72 753 765

Connection to Dr. Mei

Mei initially regarded Dr. Mei—an older woman with an almost identical appearance—as a threat to her relationship with Xu Qi. Their conflict changed after Dr. Mei explained that she originated from another branch of the Imaginary Tree: not a future or parallel-universe copy, but another Mei shaped by a different fate. 348

The two ultimately formed a sister-like bond. Mei encouraged Dr. Mei to live as the captain of the Ptolemy, researcher, and Griseo's tutor rather than defining herself solely through their shared identity. 349 350

Appearance

Mei is a soft-featured young woman with long purple hair, usually tied into a single ponytail. Her everyday presence is gentle and youthful, though her posture and expression become markedly more commanding when she carries a sword or leads the Kendo Club. 51 76 444

• Long purple hair; frequently wears it in a single ponytail. 51 76
• Often dresses practically for sword training, including a white shirt and black capri pants. 76
• Can project a severe, queen-like presence in combat or club leadership. 76 444
• Wears her engagement ring openly at university. 444

Personality

Mei is gentle, considerate, intellectual, and attentive to others' needs. She supports Xu Qi's career decisions without simply agreeing with him, recognizing the difference between his obligations and what he genuinely wants from life. 35

In public, she is polite but distant; her warmth, teasing humor, and occasional playfulness are largely reserved for people she trusts. She is skilled at caring for others and possesses strong judgment, execution, and leadership ability, although she can become indecisive when emotionally overwhelmed. 136 166

Beneath her gentleness is a proud and forceful side. Mei's insecurity over losing Xu Qi once drove her to leave a bite mark on his shoulder and later to vent her turmoil through violent dojo challenges. She eventually learns to accept that her assertiveness is part of herself rather than proof that she is unworthy of love. 73 76 78 244

Abilities & Skills

Kendo and close-quarters combat

Mei is an elite swordswoman whose skill changes drastically when she has a blade in hand.

• Overwhelmed later opponents while deliberately guiding their movements before striking their heads. 447

New Human Mental Power

Mei's Mental Power is strongly tied to emotion, perception, and conquest.

• Can sense emotional fluctuations in others. 178
• Can communicate mentally with Xu Qi. 130
• Her awakening enhanced her senses, physical fitness, and recovery ability. 78 79
• Her power carries an aspect of conquest, capable of producing an oppressive presence when combined with her swordsmanship. 78 446
• Avoids using emotional perception on Xu Qi because she considers it unromantic to rely on the ability in their relationship. 81

Elysia's power of Origin temporarily elevated Mei into an Origin-compatible New Human. 729

• Manifested as white armor accented in Mei's purple, with wing-like skirt armor. 729

Story Role / Major Arcs

Metro investigation

Mei infiltrated the Metro base at night to investigate the train brake-failure incident. With Pardofelis, she searched the records room and Xu Qi's office, where they discovered a hidden letter inside a decade-old technical report. 16

Guangcheng crisis and awakening

As jealousy, fear, and suppressed anger overwhelmed her, Mei left the Golden Courtyard and challenged martial arts schools throughout Nansha. Her rampage drew the Guangcheng underworld's attention; after exhausting herself against gangsters, the terror of losing Xu Qi triggered her first New Type awakening. 76 77 78

Huazheng Kendo competition

Mei returned to Huazheng as the respected Kendo Club captain and Modu champion. She used the friendly competition to publicly establish that she was committed to Xu Qi, decisively defeating Liu Yisheng before easily overcoming the remaining opponents. 444 445 446 447

Pregnancy and future plans

Mei confirmed her pregnancy to Ryoma Raiden and took a year off from Huazheng to prioritize her health. Rather than abandon her ambitions, she continued planning for graduate study and a future legal or civil-service career. 753 765

Inheriting Origin

Elysia selected Mei as the inheritor of Origin due to their compatibility. The transfer transformed Mei into an Origin-powered New Human, briefly magnifying both her Mental Power and her commanding “Queen of Thunder” disposition. 729
