Background

Feng Xiuxue's elder sister, Feng Yiru, disappeared ten years earlier, around the time Bai Yanren—Feng Yiru's husband and Bai Yanliang's brother—met with his fatal incident. Xiuxue believes both events conceal a deeper truth and has independently investigated her sister's disappearance. 42 43

She entered the entertainment industry under Feng Yiru's name, becoming a nationally known actress while continuing to search for her sister. 42

Before meeting Bai Yanliang, Feng Xiuxue had encountered twisted black shadows in reality. She once saw such a shadow crawl into her sister's mirror, leading her to connect the phenomenon to Feng Yiru's disappearance. 43

Appearance

Feng Xiuxue is a striking young woman with long hair, often pinned up, and an exquisite but cool-looking profile. In public, she uses oversized sunglasses to conceal her identity. 42 43

• Her speaking voice is notably gentle, contrary to Bai Yanliang's initial expectation from her appearance. 42
• Her celebrity identity readily attracts recognition when she appears in public. 43
• Her public image under the name “Feng Yiru” depicts a woman in her twenties with a ponytail, a heart-shaped face, light makeup, and a gentle expression. 37

Personality

Feng Xiuxue is direct and decisive; after Bai Yanliang accepted her contact request, she immediately arranged a meeting rather than exchanging pleasantries. 38

Her determination to find Feng Yiru makes her persistent even when Bai Yanliang warns that an investigation may be dangerous. After witnessing the black shadow on television, she insists on accompanying him because its appearance resembles what she saw in her sister's room. 43

Outside the Mist Gathering, however, Feng Xiuxue is highly vulnerable to supernatural danger. At Li Degang's apartment building, the unfamiliar threat in the real world leaves her terrified and reliant on Bai Yanliang's composure. 44

Other Personality

“Feng Yiru”

Following the hallucination at Li Degang's apartment building, Feng Xiuxue manifests an alternate personality identifying itself as “Feng Yiru.” This personality speaks in a cold, detached manner unlike Xiuxue's usual gentle voice. 45

• The alternate personality warns Bai Yanliang not to search for “them” in reality. 45
• It tells him not to trust Feng Xiuxue and to stay away from her, claiming she will eventually cause her own death. 45
• It denies being Bai Yanren's wife despite using Feng Yiru's name. 45
• Feng Xiuxue appears unaware that this alternate personality exists. 45

Relationships

• Feng Yiru — Missing elder sister. Xiuxue uses her name professionally and has devoted herself to investigating her disappearance; an alternate personality also calls itself “Feng Yiru.” 42 45
• Bai Yanren — Brother-in-law through Feng Yiru; his death or disappearance is linked in timing to Feng Yiru's disappearance. 42 43
• Bai Yanliang — Investigative ally and Bai Yanren's younger brother. They cooperate because both seek answers about their missing or deceased siblings, though Bai becomes wary after witnessing her alternate personality. 42 43 45

Story Role / Major Arcs

Contact with Bai Yanliang

Feng Xiuxue sends Bai Yanliang a meeting request shortly after he obtains a phone. She asks to meet him at a coffee shop in Rongqiao Sky Street. 37 38

At their meeting, she presents photographs of Bai Yanren and Feng Yiru, revealing that Bai Yanren was her brother-in-law and that she has been using Feng Yiru's name in entertainment. She seeks Bai Yanliang's help in finding the truth behind the events of ten years earlier. 42

Black Shadow Investigation

While watching a news report with Bai Yanliang, Feng Xiuxue sees a twisted black shadow leave Hao Bowen's corpse—an entity visible only to the two of them. She identifies it as the same type of presence she previously witnessed in Feng Yiru's room. 43

She insists on joining Bai Yanliang's investigation of Li Degang's death, believing the black shadows are connected to her sister's disappearance. 43

Li Degang's Apartment

At Li Degang's apartment building, Feng Xiuxue and Bai Yanliang experience a disorienting hallucination: after entering the building and approaching Li Degang's apartment, they abruptly return to the entrance with no memory of leaving. 44

Feng Xiuxue perceives Bai Yanliang as a strange-faced ghost, while Bai sees a tall monster covered in facial features behind her. 44

During the ensuing encounter, Feng Xiuxue's alternate personality emerges and warns Bai Yanliang against both the apartment building and Xiuxue herself. When Xiuxue returns to herself, she remembers only fear and the belief that a ghost is nearby. 45

Departure from Ye City

After completing her commercial engagements, Feng Xiuxue leaves Ye City and does not contact Bai Yanliang following their encounter at the apartment building. 46
