Background
Liu Xiaoke came from a financially comfortable family but rejected her parents' attempts to dictate her life. After graduating from university, she moved alone to Shudian Film and Television City to begin as an extra and pursue acting on her own terms. She supported herself after her parents cut off her finances, eventually establishing herself as a guest actor before gaining larger roles. 2 158
Living alone, she was notably cautious: she installed an additional security lock, avoided drinks that had left her sight, and declined dinner invitations from crew leaders offering introductions to directors. 2
Her first encounter with Wang Yi began when he broke into her apartment by accident. Terrified, Liu Xiaoke was restrained and then affected by his Charm Person spell, which increased her trust in him and caused a brief memory gap. Moved by his fabricated story, she voluntarily gave him more than 300 yuan to help him. 2
Despite the spell's role in their first meeting, her later decisions reflect her own character. She repeatedly trusts Wang Yi, confides supernatural rumors to him, and develops a close relationship with him while maintaining her desire to choose her own path. 11 25 152
Appearance

Personality

She is cautious in practice but curious about the unknown. Supernatural events frighten her, yet she eagerly asks Wang Yi about them and listens to the details of his encounters with spirits. 25 57
Though she becomes famous quickly, Liu Xiaoke considers herself an actress rather than a celebrity. She focuses on filming and acting practice, avoids most commercial appearances and endorsements, and remains blunt during interviews and livestreams. 226 407
She is also highly aware that much of the entertainment industry's friendliness stems from her background and connections. She treats crew members politely but keeps an appropriate distance from people who may seek to exploit her status. 477
