Background

Su Mengxi initially approaches Lin Che after learning of his connection to Ye Mingyan, viewing him as a route to wealth, luxury goods, and improved social standing. She presents herself as affectionate while privately intending to benefit from his perceived background. 51 69 245

She is Su Yumei's cousin, and the two were raised by Grandmother Su. Their relationship carries genuine childhood affection but becomes strained when both develop feelings for Lin Che. 146 148 159

During a visit to her hometown, Mengxi is embarrassed when her family shares childhood photographs and stories of her former chubby appearance. The visit also reveals a kinder side: she cared deeply for a pet duck and once caught fireflies as a birthday gift for her grandmother. 148

Appearance

Su Mengxi is a tall, meticulously groomed woman with a mature, seductive presence. Her appearance is repeatedly framed around her fox-like eyes, long dark hair, pronounced curves, and carefully maintained physique. 51 69 76

• Fox-like, expressive eyes that she uses to convey innocence, resentment, or seduction. 69 251
• Long, fair legs and a slim waist maintained through regular private Pilates training. 76 146
• Usually wears polished office attire, fitted dresses, stockings, and high heels; she also uses costumes and role-play outfits to compete for Lin Che's attention. 69 138 251
• Keeps her makeup and styling immaculate, though extended overtime later leaves her visibly exhausted and bare-faced. 70 245
• Naturally carries a distinctive fragrance rather than relying on a particular perfume brand. 96

Personality

Mengxi is calculating, competitive, and highly conscious of status. Early in her relationship with Lin Che, she treats romance as a transaction: she seeks expensive gifts, imagines luxury cars and property, and regards his perceived wealth as her main opportunity. 51 69 73

She is skilled at changing her presentation to fit an audience. She can become teasing, fragile, caring, apologetic, or outwardly magnanimous within moments when doing so may win favor or defuse conflict. 97 99 102 251

Her greatest weakness is jealousy. Mention of Su Yumei, Luo Xue, or another woman receiving Lin Che's attention regularly drives her to escalate her behavior, abandon caution, or intrude on their time together. 69 73 138 245

Over time, her attachment to Lin Che becomes more sincere and conflicted. She rejects Ye Mingyan's twenty-million offer to leave him, later admits she no longer wants material compensation, and attempts—sometimes awkwardly—to imitate Su Yumei's gentleness. 160 163 182

Story Role / Major Arcs

Pursuit of Lin Che

After discovering Lin Che's apparent connection to wealth and status, Mengxi aggressively pursues him. She seduces him, engineers social-media proof of their supposed relationship, and competes with Su Yumei for his attention. 51 69 72 73

Reversal of Control

Mengxi initially believes Lin Che is inexperienced and easily controlled. Their escalating relationship instead overturns her expectations, leaving her emotionally attached and increasingly unable to use material demands as leverage. 74 75 103 106

Rivalries with Su Yumei and Luo Xue

Her possessiveness drives recurring confrontations with Su Yumei and Luo Xue. She competes with Luo Xue through public flirtation, cosplay, and role-play, while her attempts to control Su Yumei through hypnosis expose her selfishness. 97 138 152 158

Reconciliation with Su Yumei

After her hypnosis scheme is exposed, Mengxi apologizes and agrees to share Lin Che with Su Yumei rather than continue undermining her cousin. Su Yumei forgives her, though Mengxi continues to struggle with jealousy and insecurity. 159 160 162

Conflict with Ye Mingyan

Ye Mingyan confronts Mengxi over Lin Che and attempts to buy her departure with escalating checks. Although Mengxi is strongly tempted by the money, Ye's condescension and Mengxi's attachment to Lin Che lead her to tear up the twenty-million offer. 180 181 182

Career and Renewed Competition

Ye Mingyan's influence leads to Mengxi's promotion, but also burdens her with exhausting workloads. After believing Lin Che is meeting Luo Xue at a themed hotel, she resolves to focus on her career before ultimately returning in disguise to disrupt their role-play. 245 251 253

Trivia
