Background

Xu Yuan was Li Yang's high-school class beauty, remembered for her pure appearance and youthful style. Years later, she retained that appearance, though her expression carried visible hardship from her marriage. She had been married for a year by the time of the class reunion, but described serious problems involving her husband's parents and younger brother despite saying that her husband himself treated her well. 65

Her family situation worsened when her husband moved into a dormitory and her mother-in-law sought to transfer Xu Yuan's property deed to Xu Yuan's brother and sister-in-law. The pressure left her distracted at work, and Zhou Li became a key source of comfort. 95 Xu Yuan later lent her house to her siblings, who refused to leave even after her marriage ended. 294

Xu Yuan entered Li Yang's company as a secretary and quickly demonstrated skill in administrative planning, preparing arrangements for a company gathering and accepting feedback directly from Li Yang. 79 She worked alongside Zhou Li during the company's rapid early expansion and was identified by Xiao Ka as Li Yang's company secretary. 86 92

When Vast Starry Sky expanded its operations, Xu Yuan helped Li Yang and Zhou Li communicate the transition from Heyang to a Linhai headquarters.
