Background / History

Qi Xiaoye was found wandering in the Great Fog by Su Ze. Both had become lost and were shivering in the cold before Su Ze summoned the entrance to Avalon. From the outset, he suspected that her unusual nature might be connected to Contained Objects. 43

She suffers from severe amnesia. In a memory-based space resembling a school corridor, she could not remember Su Ze or anyone else, and her failure to solve even basic equations established that she had little aptitude for mathematics despite occasional confidence otherwise. 105 106

After being brought to Avalon, Qi Xiaoye adapted quickly to its warmth, safety, games, comics, and milk tea. She repeatedly sought ways to recover her memories, including using the Hole in the Wall and exploring the Old Days Museum, which felt strangely familiar to her. Neither effort restored her past. 51 124 149 150

Tao Yaoyao later proposed that Qi Xiaoye could be a special Contained Object because of her ability to read information about them. The possibility deeply frightened Qi Xiaoye, who had begun to question whether she was truly human. 196

During the Penrose Stairs incident, Qi Xiaoye learned that her amnesia and unusual powers could indicate that she was a fallen Demigod. She embraced the possibility enthusiastically, though the conclusion remained speculative. 233 237 239 By a later point, Su Ze assesses that she was likely an Ordinary Deity before transforming into the girl who appeared beside him. 600

Appearance

Qi Xiaoye is repeatedly described as exceptionally beautiful, with a slender yet shapely figure and an immaculate, painting-like face. Her appearance is striking enough to unsettle even Chen Keqing and Qin Yushi when they first meet her. 105 106 113

• Pale-pink, shoulder-length hair, with two loose strands resting on her shoulders 105
• Oval face, rosy cheeks, high-bridged nose, and fair, luminous skin 105
• Slender, graceful build; approximately Chen Keqing’s height 105
• Often dresses casually at Avalon, where she commonly reads comics while drinking milk tea 124 162
• Initially wore summer clothing despite being trapped in an icy, snow-covered space 105

Personality

Qi Xiaoye is cheerful, outgoing, straightforward, and unusually quick to compliment other women’s appearances. Her sincerity immediately helps her form a close friendship with Chen Keqing, and she is able to strike up conversations easily even with strangers. 106 121

She is highly curious about her lost past and can become emotionally vulnerable when her identity is questioned. Though she often presents herself as carefree, she was terrified by the possibility of being a Contained Object and insecure about whether Su Ze would protect her. 196 253

Qi Xiaoye is also smug, playful, and receptive to praise, frequently boasting about her beauty, talent, or suspected Demigod status. She can be mischievous and competitive, particularly around Qing Shuang, but is fundamentally compassionate toward suffering Contained Objects and people. 223 239 261 225

Abilities & Skills

Contained Object Appraisal

Qi Xiaoye can perceive information about Contained Objects, including their grade, name, behavior, and danger level. This ability is central to Su Ze’s anomaly investigations. 196 294

• Identified the Transcendent Grade Tickle Monster and described its behavior, diet, intelligence, and healing properties. 294
• Can recognize information related to Mythical Grade Contained Objects, which contributes to her belief that her former self was exceptionally powerful. 239
• Her ability is a major reason Tao Yaoyao considered the possibility that Qi Xiaoye herself might be a special Contained Object. 196

Combat Genius

Qi Xiaoye possesses instinctive combat ability far exceeding what her missing memories should allow. She can execute advanced techniques without understanding where she learned them. 51

• Completely defeated Tier 2 Chen Keqing during a sparring session. 51
• Qing Shuang acknowledges that Qi Xiaoye is too strong for a one-on-one fight. 261
• Her combat skill is regarded as superior even to Su Ze’s technical skill. 322

Word Spirit Technique: Absolute Stealth

Qi Xiaoye received a Word Spirit Technique analyzed from the Coward’s Blade. It conceals her form through a state beyond ordinary invisibility, described as being akin to entering another dimension. 149

• Allows her to conceal herself and ambush weaker targets with a fatal strike. 149
• Has been used to hide in the air and secretly observe others. 169 195
• Its decisive-strike aspect is most effective against weak opponents. 149
