Background

Qin Muse is a second-year high school student who lives alone in a luxury high-rise apartment in Demon City. She maintains a demanding training routine, practicing the disassembly and reassembly of her firearms every day to steady herself. Her schoolwork is normally easy for her, and she can complete assignments quickly. 14 398

Before becoming close to Yimo, Qin Muse was a highly independent solo Death Game player. She had only truly cooperated with Yimo, despite her instinctive vigilance toward others. 657 Her initial loss to Yimo left her angry and unsettled, particularly because she had briefly felt safe in his embrace at the end of the match. 14

Appearance

Qin Muse has long, light-pink hair and crimson eyes. Her usual presentation is neat and restrained, particularly through her school-uniform style. 14 360 871

• Long light-pink hair. 14
• Crimson eyes that visibly glow when she is enraged. 14 404
• Often wears a conservative JK-style school uniform; one outfit includes a white shirt, bow tie, brown pleated skirt, and black stockings. 360 871

Personality

Qin Muse is typically calm, rational, honest, and blunt. She has little experience talking with boys, and her direct manner can come across as impolite or hostile. 14 871 Her competitiveness is particularly pronounced around Yimo, whose presence initially threatens both her pride and her academic confidence. 14 871

Although she prefers to avoid fights that are unnecessary or unwinnable, she is neither passive nor timid. She evaluates opponents carefully, uses ambushes when needed, and reacts decisively under pressure. 183 685 Her self-discipline can become excessive: while preparing for exams, she focuses so narrowly on concentration training that her overall grades begin to fall. 1587

Qin Muse is deeply devoted once she trusts someone. Her relationship with Yimo shifts from hostility and suspicion to reliance, protectiveness, and eventually open affection. 1207 1291

Story Role / Major Arcs

First Death Game and Pursuit of Yimo

After Yimo repeatedly rejected her friend requests, Qin Muse used the system-created “girlfriend group” to threaten and provoke him into another game. 13 Angered by her defeat and Yimo's silence, she took leave from school, canceled training, and attempted to locate him by filing a false missing-person report. 14 She later tracked him to an old apartment building but recognized that exposing him would require more than her own resources. 181
