Background

Li Pei was originally a construction laborer who became intensely devoted to Douluo Continent during a difficult period of her life. She regarded Tang San as the only character truly worthy of admiration and resented much of the original protagonist group, particularly Xiao Wu. After selecting Douluo Continent in an online transmigration questionnaire, she awakened in the body of a two-year-old girl. 297

Her new parents noticed that she no longer behaved like their daughter, having overheard her speak of being a transmigrator and profess affection for “Third Brother.” Although they continued caring for her, Li Pei viewed them only as the parents of her current body and neglected their concern. 297

At her martial-soul awakening, Li Pei manifested a Vine Spirit with level-four Soul Power. She obtained a work-study place at Nuoding Academy and eagerly enrolled after learning Tang San was there. Her immediate aim was to get close to him, cultivate alongside him, and remove Xiao Wu from his life. 297

Appearance

Li Pei is described as ordinary-looking by Tang San. Her body is thin and frail, and she carries a faint scent of fresh grass. 20 314

• Often presents herself as delicate, frightened, or tearful to draw sympathy. 141 314
• Deliberately wore an extra layer of clothing while staging an apparent assault. 314

Personality

Li Pei's defining trait is her obsessive devotion to Tang San. She idealizes him as the perfect man and interprets even his indifference, manipulation, or concern for Xiao Wu in the most favorable possible light. After Tang San indirectly rejects her confession, she resolves to make him love her through continued pursuit. 300 431

She is calculating and image-conscious. Li Pei hides traits Tang San might dislike while he observes her, maintains a friendly façade around Xiao Wu despite privately viewing her as a rival, and adjusts her clinginess when she notices Tang San becoming annoyed. 20 250

Her friendship with Xiao Wu is largely instrumental. Li Pei engineers guilt, fear, and dependence in order to keep Xiao Wu away from Tang San while preserving the appearance of a caring best friend. 141 314

Yu Xiaogang's disciple

Confession and pursuit

Li Pei confesses romantic love to Tang San and insists that she will make him like her after his indirect rejection. Tang San sees her continued support as useful to his own goals, while Li Pei mistakes his tolerance for tacit encouragement. 300

Manipulation of Xiao Wu

Li Pei warns Xiao Wu not to compete for Tang San, then orchestrates a false assault scenario to appear vulnerable and deepen Xiao Wu's guilt. Though the plan exposes her to more danger than intended, she uses its aftermath to have Tang San and Xiao Wu acknowledge her as their little sister. 141 314
