Background / History
After physically transmigrating, Shangguan Che retained plot-related memories, memories of time spent in the system space, and a set of self-written life experiences that he regarded as emotionally hollow. He discarded his former name, Qian Jihui, and chose “Shangguan Che” as his new identity. 2 3
He selected Class 1-D because most of the system’s assistance targets were assigned there. Rather than taking the +1 all-attributes Newbie Gift Pack, he chose a ten-pull skill draw with a guaranteed Gold-tier reward. 2
Upon arriving at Advanced Nurturing High School, he joined Class 1-D and took a seat in the back row. His early interactions included meeting Kushida Kikyo on the bus and initiating a friendship with his seatmate, Sakura Airi. 3 7
Personality
Shangguan Che is outwardly calm, casual, and willing to take initiative, but his thoughts are often dramatic, self-mocking, and shaped by chuunibyou-style fantasies. He can be socially awkward despite making active efforts to connect with others, describing himself as a “fake extrovert” when struggling with small talk. 12
He is observant and highly calculating, using Clairvoyance to study people, uncover school rules, and assess threats. This pragmatism can lead him to bend rules—such as viewing confidential documents or selectively sharing test answers—but he usually weighs the risks before acting. 13 22 36
Despite his tendency to joke and avoid unnecessary trouble, he is protective of classmates he considers important. He supports Hirata’s class efforts, tutors classmates at risk of expulsion, and takes responsibility for helping Sakura confront harassment. 14 34 47
