Background

Yi Chen was an ordinary 18-year-old who died after being struck by a truck while saving a mother and her son. His soul was brought before an Angel, a spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, who informed him that he would be transmigrated and forced to complete missions in order to return to his original world. 1

He entered Advanced Nurturing High School under the registered name Angela Yi Chen, with an altered age and identity but the same appearance as in his former life. Assigned to Class D, he initially focused on surviving the task system and avoiding expulsion, but gradually adopted the ambition of raising Class D to Class A. 2 4 19

Appearance

Yi Chen retains the appearance of his original body after transmigration. He is repeatedly described as handsome and aloof-looking, though he regards his new identity and name with embarrassment. 2 22

• Height of 178 cm and weight of 58 kg. 2
• Has a “world-weary” expression and a reserved demeanor. 22
• Develops a notably fit physique through daily Primordial Flower Hand practice and physical training. 13 20

Personality

Yi Chen begins as socially anxious, withdrawn, and strongly individualistic. His former shut-in lifestyle leaves him unsure how to build friendships, and he often treats others with detached indifference. However, his time in Class D, the Kendo Club, and his relationship with Ichinose gradually make him appreciate companionship and social connection. 4 18 27

He is resourceful under pressure and willing to use intimidation, recordings, and private points to gain leverage over opponents. He is also protective of people he considers his own, notably Sudo Ken, Sakura Airi, and Karuizawa Kei. 7 14 47

Despite his confidence in combat and strategy, Yi Chen struggles to understand affection, jealousy, and his own emotions. His relationship with Ichinose forces him to confront these feelings rather than simply view people as distant “NPCs.” 12 15 18
