Background / History

He Qing was initially a shy, timid kindergarten student who was bullied by a boy in the restroom. Lin Zhengran intervened, forced the bully to apologize, and became the person she relied on for protection. She thanked him with candy and chocolate, including Nourishing Pills and spoiled Black Blood Paste that she mistook for ordinary snacks 2 3.

Although afraid of Lin Zhengran’s teasing, He Qing came to value that he never dismissed her thoughts. His encouragement gradually taught her to speak up, retaliate against bullying, and pursue Taekwondo. Her original motivation was to grow strong enough to protect him, despite being unable to protect herself at the time 5 63.

She began Taekwondo training with her mother’s support and showed exceptional talent. Lin Zhengran secretly and directly coached her, using his knowledge to help her overcome plateaus in theory and practice 6 7. After transferring schools because Aunt He moved home to care for He Qing’s maternal grandmother, she and Lin Zhengran maintained contact through calls over several years 10 14.

By fourth grade, He Qing had become known as the “Back Throw Queen” for throwing bullies who targeted her or others. She notably intervened to protect Han Wenwen during a fight 14. Her feelings for Lin Zhengran developed alongside her confidence; she repeatedly sought chances to meet him, including traveling alone to reunite with him after four years apart 26 27.

Appearance

He Qing is described as soft-looking and cute in childhood, later growing into a graceful young woman and becoming regarded as one of the prettiest girls at school 23 85.

• Often wore her hair in a ponytail as a child 7.
• Has long hair, which Lin Zhengran helps dry after she showers at his home 64.
• Appears slender and frail at first glance, though she possesses unusual physical strength 110.
• Wears a snow-white Taekwondo uniform during competition 110.

Personality

He Qing begins as nervous, obedient, and easily embarrassed. She is frightened of Lin Zhengran’s harshness and initially struggles to defend herself, but remains earnest in expressing gratitude and trying to please him 2 3.

Her timidity never entirely disappears; she remains shy around Lin Zhengran and becomes flustered by intimate situations. At the same time, she grows increasingly direct about wanting to see him, jealous of girls close to him, and determined to confess her feelings 63 65 85 114.

She is compassionate and considerate. She injures herself while rescuing a trapped puppy, treats her Taekwondo team and Lin Xue to dinner after winning, and carefully prepares gifts for Lin Zhengran and his family 62 112 201.

In competition, He Qing can become strikingly stern and intimidating. Her “Boss He” state emerges when she takes an opponent seriously, replacing her usual sweet demeanor with ruthless pressure 441.
