Background / History

Causal origins

In the finale, Su Mengmei chooses to become the initial Su Caiwei in order to prevent causal collapse. She impersonates Su Yuan, enters a restricted area, takes a medical robot, and travels to worldline β=0.8 476.

Another account of the causal loop describes Su Yuan falling into the River of Time after repeated uses of [Rewind], losing her memory, arriving in 1992, and becoming Su Caiwei after another Su Yuan's sacrifice 465.

Arrival and family

Su Caiwei arrives from a crashed metal sphere with amnesia and an unexplained pregnancy. Gao Peng rescues her, while the Su family takes her in and gives her the name “Caiwei” 461.

She marries Gao Peng in a hurried arrangement, gives birth to Su Yuan, and moves with him to a new residential area. After Gao Peng dies in a car accident, she inherits part of his estate and raises Su Yuan alone 462.

Before Gao Peng's death, Caiwei worked as his assistant and knew that he held an important position in the xk1992 Plan 357. Afterward, an old military leader's protection deters powerful interests from seizing Huaxin Technology 242.

Building her enterprises

Su Caiwei builds Su Meng Culture through her own efforts and keeps its finances under close personal control, even after delegating substantial authority to Qin Lanqing 83 219. She also raises Yanzi after finding the orphaned child living on the streets, later training her into a capable assistant 151.

Appearance

Su Caiwei retains a notably youthful appearance and is frequently mistaken for Su Yuan's older sister rather than her mother 70.

• Often wears stylish, professional OL attire when attending to Su Meng Culture or its stationery factory 70 83.
• Dresses simply and coolly when visiting school, projecting an authoritative, unapproachable demeanor 83.
• Wears loose, casual clothes at home 83.
• Is described as exceptionally beautiful, elegant, and composed 70 150.

Personality

Su Caiwei combines maternal warmth with a commanding, highly perceptive temperament. She recognizes Su Yuan's guilty or unusually diligent behavior immediately, yet still cares for her closely when she is injured or troubled 70 93.

In business and politics, she is bold, confrontational, and strategic. She does not merely operate within existing rules; she is willing to reshape the situation itself, pursuing independent leverage rather than accepting the role of a subordinate player 115 147 363.

Her protective instincts extend beyond family. She feeds both her employees and government inspectors during an all-day inspection, and her earlier adoption of Yanzi reflects a lasting willingness to take responsibility for vulnerable people 115 151.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Su Meng Culture investigation

When a multi-department inspection finds no violations at Su Meng Culture, Caiwei challenges the inspectors’ lack of proper documents rather than allowing the intimidation to pass unanswered. Her subsequent lawsuit against government departments and media outlets shocks Vice Mayor Ke Caizhi 115.

Conflict with Guan Feiming

After learning that Guan Feiming and Jiang Xing are involved in framing and threatening Su Yuan, Caiwei assures her daughter that she can handle Guan Feiming 132. She then joins forces with Ji Shengchen and publicly reveals evidence of Donghai Fuxi's interference with Su Meng Culture 147.

Solid-state energy and the New South Pacific Nation

Caiwei coordinates with Huaxin Technology on solid-state energy's civilian and military rollout 362. Anticipating international pressure and the danger of becoming controlled by larger powers, she purchases South Pacific archipelagos and plans a neutral constitutional monarchy with herself as queen 326 363.

Investigation into Su Yuan's transformation

Caiwei works with Su Yuan and Xia Linfei to investigate Gu Shiguo's research, suspecting that his biological experiments may be related to Su Yuan's transformation 394 395. After Su Yuan reveals her true origins, Caiwei accepts her without doubt and helps examine Gu's 106 experimental logbooks 408.

X/Y organelle discovery

After the experimental records are completed, Caiwei learns that her own cells contain the X and Y organelles. This reveals that she also has a dormant [Rewind] ability 424.
