Background

Shen Qinghan grew up next door to Lin Zichen. The two became inseparable childhood sweethearts; as children, she shared food with him and joined him in a hundred-year pinky promise with Bai Xue. She wore a Beast Tooth around her neck, which later glowed and foreshadowed the mystery surrounding her water affinity. 3 8 10

Her early physical talent was exceptionally poor. In the Martial Arts Elite Class, she recorded a 12.88-second 100-meter sprint, a 38 kg one-handed barbell lift, and a 0.98-meter standing vertical jump—last among the girls. She was immediately defeated in sparring and struggled with the belief that hard work could not overcome predetermined physical limitations. 54 69

Lin Zichen coached her in martial arts techniques, allowing her to defeat Wen Yuntong and Chu Yuxi in the final examinations and rise from last place to third from the bottom of the class. 69 85

Her 21% Gene Fusion Compatibility brought her to Yuan Dongzhi's attention. Yuan concealed the true score, accepted Qinghan as her disciple, and began investigating her unprecedented constitution. 99 100

Appearance

Shen Qinghan is noted for her exceptional beauty, delicate appearance, and clear, watery eyes. Her natural hair is black and glossy, but turns bright deep blue when she activates the Deep Blue Jellyfish King gene. 43 145 148

Personality

Shen Qinghan is gentle, obedient, and initially intensely reserved around strangers. She is lively, talkative, and affectionate around Lin Zichen, relying on him for reassurance and decisions when she is uncertain. 28 99 218

Years of being overshadowed by Lin Zichen and being bullied by classmates left her timid and self-conscious. Her confidence began to change after she and Li Chuxin won a singing competition; for the first time, she felt that she could shine through her own merits. 79 84 197

She is determined to avoid becoming a burden to Lin Zichen. This desire drives her training, her willingness to take missions, and her pursuit of the title “Peerless Twin Stars” alongside him. 29 148 208
