Appearance

Ai Xiaoxing is widely recognized as her school’s Campus Belle, with her beauty and composed public image drawing intense attention from other students. Her expression frequently betrays her feelings despite attempts to remain calm, including blushing, clenched fists, and a faint dimple when frustrated or embarrassed. 32 33 34

• Regarded by students as pure, elegant, talented, and versatile. 32
• Often maintains a cool, aloof demeanor in public. 34
• Her flushed face and visibly stiffened smile commonly reveal her irritation with Xu Yi’s teasing. 33 75

Personality

Ai Xiaoxing’s defining trait is the contrast between her public and online selves. On campus, she is quiet, reserved, and burdened by others’ expectations of how a Campus Belle should act. Online, she is far more uninhibited, fond of absurd humor and casually calling others “bro.” She describes herself as “a bit of a mess online” but shy in real life. 33 34

She dislikes being reduced to her appearance or forced into an idealized image. When drunk, she openly laments that people define her by her beauty and expect her to behave a certain way, when she simply wants to enjoy being “abstract.” 34

Despite her generally mild temper, Ai Xiaoxing is not passive. She bluntly rejects Zheng Qian’s attention, refuses Li Fan’s attempts to use his fame and resources to control her, and physically defends herself when he threatens her career. 50 51 52 She is also considerate toward Xu Yi, accompanying him to the hospital when Grandma Li’s condition worsens and admiring his care for the orphanage director. 56

History

Ai Xiaoxing first comes to Xu Yi’s attention through Furun Group’s recruitment list, where she applies for a position in tuning and voice acting. Xu Yi approves her application, recognizing the work as aligned with her music background. 31

She later contacts Xu Yi using the online name “Cockroach Antenna Dipped in Shit.” Their first meeting reveals that the school’s poised and admired Campus Belle is the same highly “abstract” person Xu Yi encountered online. She initially drags Xu Yi away from hostile students at the school gate, then endures his deliberate attempts to provoke onlookers by making her walk in circles with him. 33

During their first hot-pot outing, Ai Xiaoxing admits that she is shy offline despite her unruly online persona. After drinking heavily, she becomes unusually candid about the pressure of being seen as a Campus Belle and her wish to live more freely. 34 35

Her friendship with Xu Yi grows through music. She watches him compose songs, accompanies him to recording sessions, and turns down Li Fan’s offer of a career-making collaboration. When Li Fan later threatens to blacklist her unless she submits to him, she retaliates with Kun Quan while Xu Yi’s livestream preserves evidence of the incident. 48 51 52

Ai Xiaoxing joins Yixing Entertainment after Xu Yi offers to write songs and promote her through talent shows. She debuts on Voice of New Stars with Xu Yi’s music, faces a biased F rating, and remains composed while defending the legitimacy of his work. Xu Yi publicly confronts the program over her treatment, bringing both Ai Xiaoxing and Yixing Entertainment greater attention. 92 93 96

After graduating, she becomes Xu Yi’s live-in assistant and regularly appears in his livestreams. Over three years, she supports his confrontations with unscrupulous businesses and remains a constant presence behind his online work. 248 She ultimately marries Xu Yi. 248
