An You

Biodata

Background

An You is An Yang’s younger sister. Growing up, she considered herself superior to him: relatives and parents favored her, and she saw herself as the family’s pride while regarding An Yang as an unremarkable foil. His sudden transformation into the center of attention unsettles that long-held view 15.

She attends college, with An Yang helping her register despite her insistence on independence 52. She later studies and practices at Yizhou Film Academy alongside Xiao Xue’er, while also working at An Shi Group 471 903.

Personality

An You is proud, stubborn, and especially combative around An Yang. She checks on him when she suspects he has lost his job, but couches her concern in dismissive remarks; their relationship regularly turns into teasing, arguments, and practical jokes 10 719 817.

She is notably more tsundere toward An Yang than toward others. Although confident and composed when handling reporters or appearing in public, she becomes embarrassed when he watches her perform 715 794. Her variety-show persona reveals a mischievous sense of humor, quick wit, athleticism, and comfort with making fun of herself 1285 1310.

She is also curious and academically capable. She reads complex mathematics during class, performs strongly in knowledge quizzes, and eagerly questions Zhai Liying about alien society and military technology 1261 1285 1300.

Story Role

Early family life

While shopping with An Yang and Xiao Xue’er, An You quickly deduces that An Yang has lost his job. Though she shows concern, she treats his presence as an excuse to criticize him and hides her embarrassment over not being able to afford clothes at a more expensive mall 10.

As An Yang’s power and influence grow, she is repeatedly forced to reevaluate him. After thugs harass her and her friends, he uses his influence to make the police intervene and the attackers disappear, leaving her unable to deny his status 179.

An Shi Group and entertainment career

An You enters An Shi Group and becomes associated with its public-facing success, though she and Xiao Xue’er are instructed to reveal nothing about confidential products 794. She later pursues formal performance training and establishes herself as a talented entertainer 715 903.

Her public popularity expands dramatically through the Jiuzhaigou variety show. The program turns her mischievous behavior, intelligence, and physical ability into recognizable public personas, while her joint concert with Xiao Xue’er sells out 1310.

Visit to the Huaibei Empire

After an interstellar-navigation incident leaves her with a fractured leg, An You is transported to An Yang’s alien empire and initially relies on a wheelchair 1299 1304. Zhai Liying takes her through military sites, museums, the Imperial City, and the palace, giving her a firsthand view of alien technology, culture, and imperial authority 1300 1302 1306.

During the visit, An You learns that An Yang is the Great Emperor of the Huaibei Empire, that Earth and the alien planet have different time flows, and that her leg has fully healed 1305.
