Wang Ling

Biodata

Background / History

School Life and Friendship

Wang Ling comes from a wealthy family and had held first place at First High School for years, once leading the second-ranked student by twenty points. Alongside his grades, he was known for singing and sports. He dyed his hair white to enter a singing competition 2.

Before the transformation, Wang Ling was Chang Song’s best friend, although Chang Song often tried to avoid his teasing and interference. Wang Ling noticed Chang Song’s unusually precise arrival time at school and correctly suspected he was following someone. Chang Song pointed toward Gao Jun to conceal his interest in their teacher, Yang He 2 12.

Defeat and Transformation

Wang Ling approached Chang Song claiming to need help with a dangerous problem. After sending him money to secure his cooperation, he lured him into a War of Men duel. Wang Ling explained that repeated battles wore down a participant’s sword and that his own blade could not withstand another fight; he intended to turn Chang Song into a woman and marry him instead 3 4.

Wang Ling initially shattered Chang Song’s red sword, causing a temporary transformation. However, the duel remained active because Chang Song could draw a second, blue sword and return to male form. Wang Ling fled toward the combat boundary and attempted to kick Chang Song outside it, but ultimately lost when Chang Song shattered his yellow sword 4 5.

The defeat transformed Wang Ling into a woman. Chang Song initially left her behind, and she struggled with practical problems: her changed body no longer matched her phone’s biometric lock, and she lacked usable identification for accommodation. Chang Song returned to help her unlock the phone 5 6 7.

Pursuit of Chang Song

Wang Ling quickly accepted her new body, saying she would rather adapt than make herself miserable over a change she believed permanent. She began calling Chang Song her husband and insisting that they would remain together for life 7.

With her father’s financial assistance, she entered Chang Song’s class as a supposed transfer student. Her official introduction attributed the move to her father’s job, but she told the class that her fiancé attended the school. Yang He seated her beside Chang Song, giving Wang Ling daily opportunities to pursue him 8.

Her courtship included movie dates, gifts, visits to his home, and invitations to her family’s private swimming pool. Although she frequently distracted him from studying, she also taught him a practical exam-preparation method and tutored him seriously. After the monthly exam, Chang Song promised to marry her, prompting her to cry with happiness 17 19 22 25 26 27.

Wang Han’s Challenge

Wang Ling asked Chang Song to protect her from Wang Han, whom she identified as the opponent who had previously threatened to turn her into a woman. When Chang Song accepted a duel, she begged him to withdraw and even offered to transfer schools with him. Once he refused, she urged him to train 32 34.

During the duel, Wang Han overpowered Chang Song and tried to coerce Wang Ling by hurting him. She approached Chang Song under the cover of apparent surrender and secretly placed a powerful drug in his hand. She warned that it could be taken only once in a lifetime and had extremely severe side effects. After taking it, Chang Song recovered his sword and defeated Wang Han 40 41 42.

Wang Ling subsequently admitted that she had arranged the confrontation and prepared the medicine to secure Chang Song’s victory and force a firmer marriage commitment. Nevertheless, seeing him suffer genuinely devastated her. Chang Song reassured her that he would marry her and agreed to meet her parents 42.

Family Conflict and Shared Home

Wang Ling introduced Chang Song to her fifth stepmother, Zhang Haiqing, and her father, Wang Haizhi. She openly defended him before her father’s associates and confronted her father after noticing Chang Song’s distress following their private meeting 44 45.

That night, Wang Haizhi’s men entered Chang Song’s guest room and attacked him with steel pipes. Wang Ling shielded him with her body and took the blow, suffering an injury that Chang Song said had nearly left her paralyzed. While recovering, she pleaded with her father to stop making trouble for Chang Song 45 46.

Wang Ling later persuaded Chang Song to accept responsibility for her father’s struggling Cosmetics Division and convinced Wang Haizhi to buy them a house near school. Still recovering, she helped bring the sick, newly transformed Wang Han into their spare bedroom, despite remaining angry with Chang Song 48 50.

Appearance

• Original appearance: Male; dyed his hair white for a singing competition 2.
• Transformation: His hair lengthened, his figure became fuller, and his skin became more delicate after his defeat 5.
• Female appearance: Long hair, large eyes, a curvy figure, and a sweet, seemingly innocent face. Her beauty attracts attention from both male and female classmates 8 17.
• Mannerisms: Frequently blushes, bites her lip, or clasps her hands when presenting herself as shy 8 23.
• Notable clothing: Wears a white gauzy dress when joining Chang Song’s class and a sky-blue dress with light makeup when visiting his family 8 23.

Personality

Wang Ling is perceptive, calculating, and persistent. She notices small inconsistencies in Chang Song’s behavior, uses money and social pressure to overcome obstacles, and readily exploits his reluctance to embarrass or hurt her. Her innocent public manner often conceals a much more forceful personality 2 7 8 23.

Her affection for Chang Song combines possessiveness with a strong need for reassurance. She becomes jealous when he gives Gao Jun chocolate, treasures inexpensive gifts from him, and reacts intensely to the possibility of rejection. After seeing him embrace Gao Jun, she says she had nearly jumped from a building 14 19 31.

Her shyness is not entirely an act. Chang Song eventually recognizes that she is genuinely sensitive and must push herself to behave boldly around him. Her willingness to manipulate events also coexists with real protectiveness: watching him suffer breaks her composure, and she later takes a steel-pipe blow meant for him 38 42 45.

Although accustomed to wealth, Wang Ling values evidence of Chang Song’s affection over expensive presents. She returns a thousand-yuan jade bracelet after recognizing that he is spending beyond his means to distance himself from her, keeps his cheap first gift, and asks that future gifts cost no more than ten yuan 19.
