Background / History

Lin Qingyu is a prominent senior student whose beauty, academic achievements, event appearances, and Student Council leadership make her a major campus figure. She ranks first in campus beauty discussions for each of her first three years and is widely regarded as wealthy, capable, and difficult to approach. 340 461

She develops an interest in Xia Yan after meeting him through Student Council activities. During an early rehearsal, she probes his relationship status, arranges further time with him, and feigns an ankle sprain so that he will escort her back to her dorm. Their public stage appearance and subsequent closeness prompt others to believe they may be dating. 28 33 34

At the sports meet, Lin Qingyu approaches Hua Xin as Xia Yan's friend. By observing Hua Xin's build, shoe size, height, and hands, she deduces that Hua Xin is a girl disguised as a boy. Rather than reveal the secret, she uses it to compel Hua Xin into an alliance against Liu Ruoyun, whom she considers their shared rival for Xia Yan's affection. 63 64 73 74

The alliance is strained when Xia Yan reveals that he has an online girlfriend. Lin Qingyu initially stays composed, directs Hua Xin to investigate the girlfriend, and prioritizes removing Liu Ruoyun as a threat. She continues pursuing Xia Yan despite his clear declaration that he is in a relationship. 80 81 82 98

As Xia Yan increasingly distances himself from her—leaving the Student Council, prioritizing his girlfriend, and eventually deleting and blocking her—Lin Qingyu becomes frustrated and anxious. She attempts to obtain information from Hua Xin, but Hua Xin refuses to disclose Xia Yan's circumstances. 214 217 218 268

After seeing Xia Yan openly close to Hua Xin, Lin Qingyu's possessiveness intensifies. Hua Xin later confronts her directly and publicly kisses Xia Yan, after which Lin Qingyu retreats and no longer continues approaching him openly. 296 297 340 472

Personality

Lin Qingyu presents herself as gentle, considerate, and refined, especially around Xia Yan. Beneath that composure, she is highly competitive, possessive, and determined to obtain what she wants. Xia Yan's lack of interest is particularly difficult for her to accept because he does not respond to her status, appearance, or social standing as others do. 34 296
