Background / History

Before her rebirth, Qin Xin was a world-renowned medical genius and the mainstay of the Qin household. Admitted to Imperial University at sixteen through a special exemption, she had reached her junior year while Lan Qingxin was still a freshman 2 3.

Her former boyfriend, Lan Yingjun, betrayed her with her sister, Qin Wenrou. Qin Xin later recalls Wenrou leaving her sealed inside an ice coffin in an icy lake, taunting her about freezing to death and announcing her intention to marry Yingjun 3 44.

Qin Xin awakens in the body of Lan Qingxin, an abandoned baby found in the snow nineteen years earlier and adopted by a wealthy family. Lan Qingxin had spent years recuperating in the countryside and was known at university for her frailty, poor grades, and conspicuous facial mark 2 3.

Although Qin Xin resents inheriting such a vulnerable position, she accepts responsibility for the original owner. She investigates the body’s chronic poisoning and returns to class after learning that absences would automatically cause failing grades 11 15.

Appearance

• Hair: Long, thick, slightly curled black hair, contrasting with Qin Xin’s original short haircut 2.
• Build: Extremely thin and frail; Qin Xin wants to gain weight for greater physical strength 5 15.
• Facial features: A classical oval face, gentle brows, and large, clear eyes beneath the unhealthy complexion 5.
• Distinctive mark: A palm-sized dark-green patch on the right forehead, extending almost over the brow bone. Qin Xin identifies the abnormal discoloration within the birthmark as chronic heavy-metal poisoning 5 11.
• Recovery: Her skin improves rapidly with treatment, and the green mark fades to a faint trace, revealing naturally delicate features 13 32.
• Concealment: She uses thick forehead bandages, loose hair, and makeup to hide the changes rather than draw attention to her recovery 13 32 41.
• Original appearance: Qin Xin previously had fair skin, delicate features, and a heroic bearing; she had been voted the campus beauty 2 5 25.

Personality

Qin Xin is blunt, proud, and difficult to intimidate. She answers insults with cutting remarks and refuses to defer to classmates, influential students, or professors simply because they hold authority. Her conduct sharply contrasts with the submissive reputation attached to Lan Qingxin 3 4 20 22.

She places little value on beauty rankings or romantic attention. Having already been celebrated for her appearance, she treats the department beauty contest as unimportant and finds Ao Xinghao’s persistent companionship more irritating than flattering 5 23 25.

Her harshness is tempered by protectiveness toward Xiangxiang and sympathy for Lan Qingxin. She softens her voice when she makes Xiangxiang cry, comforts her during the cafeteria confrontation, and takes the original owner’s schooling seriously enough to avoid an automatic failure 5 15 50.

Despite her confidence, the mysterious man in her recurring dreams frightens her. His ability to anticipate and restrain her attacks leaves her unusually helpless, and she wakes struggling to calm herself 31.

Abilities & Skills

Medical Diagnosis and Treatment

Qin Xin recognizes medical problems that others overlook and develops treatment for her inherited body 11.

• Identifies chronic heavy-metal poisoning concealed within Lan Qingxin’s birthmark 11.
• Checks her own pulse and formulates a targeted prescription using ingredients including capillary wormwood, dahurian angelica, bezoar, and skullcap 11.
• Achieves visible detoxification results, though she wants additional natural bezoar and dog bezoar to improve the treatment 13 32.
• Receives requests concerning surgery for a Red Society client 43.

Medical Research and Forensic Knowledge

Her expertise extends beyond the undergraduate material that her classmates assume she cannot understand 22 23 44.

• Explains that BMP can be extracted from sea urchins and that plant extraction can produce BMP-16 22.
• Gives an answer matching the newly publicized international BMP-16 paper signed QUEEN, startling Gou Dachun 23.
• Identifies a cadaver as having died from freezing and challenges Qin Wenrou’s explanation of postmortem greening 44.
• Remains publicly underestimated because Lan Qingxin’s academic record places her at the bottom of the class 13 23.

Combat and Physical Conditioning

Qin Xin retains the fighting knowledge she possessed before rebirth, despite her new body’s weak constitution 15 31.

• Catches a snowball aimed at her forehead wound and throws it back at Yao Dazhuang 3 4.
• Practices the Eight-Section Brocade and Five-Animal Exercises to regulate her frail body 15.
• Demonstrates precise force control when kicking open the classroom door without damaging it 15.
• Redirects Huangfu Qian’s lunchbox away from Xiangxiang, then retaliates by forcing Huangfu Qian’s head into a slop bucket 50.
• Cannot overcome the mysterious dream man, who immobilizes her before she can complete an attack 31.

Petal-Based Tricks

Qin Xin uses flower petals in interventions that her opponents do not understand 4 14.

• Petals fall exactly where the students harassing her slip into the icy lake 4.
• After she flicks her fingers, a boy blocking her path involuntarily steps aside; a petal subsequently falls from the back of his neck 14.
• The mechanisms behind these effects are not explained in the supplied passages.

Concealment and Strategy

Qin Xin hides both her physical recovery and her activities behind Lan Qingxin’s discredited public identity 32 35.

• Uses the encrypted account QUEEN instead of relying on Lan Qingxin’s ordinary messaging contacts 32.
• Conceals her improving appearance to avoid attracting her adoptive brother’s attention and disrupting her plans 32.
• Accepts Lan Yingjun’s tutoring while planning to fail her finals to undermine his investors’ support 35.
• Delays a proposed meeting with a robotics developer rather than allow others to dictate her schedule 47.

Equipment / Items

• Winter Chrysanthemum: Lan Qingxin’s potted plant, which Qin Xin carries to class, tends, and uses as a screen while resting. She also eats its petals and pours expensive medicinal broth into its soil 3 12 15 17.
• Medicinal ingredients: Her detoxification prescription includes bezoar and dog bezoar; she intends to recover valuable herbs from the Qin Corporation rather than leave them to Qin Wenrou and Lan Yingjun 11 13.
• Phone: A gift from Jue, accompanied by instructions not to use it during lessons. Qin Xin uses it to access encrypted messages and manage professional requests 31 32 43 47.
• Bandages and makeup: Used to disguise her fading facial mark and improving complexion 13 32 41.

Relationships

• Lan Qingxin — Original owner of her current body. Qin Xin feels kinship with her after discovering the poisoning and considers herself responsible for her treatment and education 11 15 32.
• Xiangxiang — Lan Qingxin’s loyal maid and caretaker. She initially tries to shield Qin Xin from confrontation; Qin Xin later protects her directly from the cafeteria bullies 3 5 49 50.
• Nalan Ye-Jue — Lan Qingxin’s adoptive brother and guardian, called Young Master Jue. He arranges tutoring and a proposed transfer to the Royal Academy, while Qin Xin resists his control over her schooling 3 7 8 12 30.
• Ao Xinghao — Classmate seated immediately in front of her. He seeks her rare caterpillars, defends her, and repeatedly joins her despite her dismissive responses 17 19 20 25 49.
• Ao Meng — Class 2’s academic mentor and Ao Xinghao’s aunt. She stops Gou Dachun’s verbal abuse and reassures Qin Xin that he cannot arbitrarily fail her 22.
• Lan Yingjun — Qin Xin’s former boyfriend and the student council president. His outward courtesy does not erase her knowledge of his betrayal; she uses his tutoring assignment against him 3 33 35.
• Qin Wenrou — Sister and principal enemy. Wenrou participated in Qin Xin’s death and later encourages attacks on Lan Qingxin without recognizing her as Qin Xin 41 44 49.
• Qin Xiaoshuang — Sibling who refuses to accept Qin Xin’s death and prevents her funeral coffin from being sealed 38.
• Yao Dazhuang and Yu Xiaochun — Class officers who organize repeated bullying, attempt to force her out of school, and plant caterpillars in her desk 3 14 16 17.
• Gou Dachun — Hostile professor who dismisses her medical knowledge and vows to write his name backward if she passes her finals 21 22 23.
• Bai Chi — Nalan Ye-Jue’s childhood friend. He regards Lan Qingxin as an ugly, violent academic failure and fails to recognize the ability beneath that reputation 12 13 27.
• Hong Jingtian and Old Man Zhou — Professional contacts who send her medical and meeting requests. Zhou warns that her sensational research paper has attracted considerable attention 43 47.
• Huangfu Qian — Student Union Sports Department head who targets Xiangxiang to provoke Qin Xin and receives a violent retaliation 49 50.
