Background

Bai Hui was popular in high school and enjoyed the attention of admirers. She selected Lu Yuan and Qian Ning from the boys pursuing her because they were obedient, with Qian Ning having stronger grades and Lu Yuan coming from a wealthier family. Even then, she found Liu Chang'an more interesting than either of them despite considering him irritating. 38

She and Liu Chang'an were classmates and desk mates in high school. They received an award for an act of bravery, funded by a scholarship established by a Xiangtan University professor surnamed Liu. 517

Bai Hui idolized her cousin Zhong Qing's career and hoped to become an equally polished, successful professional woman. Her early aspirations centered on quality skincare, luxury goods, financial independence, and a high-status lifestyle. 55

Personality

Bai Hui is vain, image-conscious, and initially highly motivated by luxury goods and social status. The prospect of selling an ancient gold coin excites her more than almost anything else, and she treats buying a Hermès bag as the fulfillment of a major wish. 232 233 She nevertheless demonstrates generosity: after profiting from the coins, she attempts to give Liu Chang'an two hundred thousand yuan. This act substantially improves his opinion of her. 233 1035

She is socially bright, playful, and accustomed to being admired, but becomes flustered when romance, jealousy, or Liu Chang'an's teasing exposes her insecurity. Her feelings for Liu Chang'an lead her to compare herself with An Nuan and Yan Qingcheng, while she repeatedly denies or minimizes those feelings even to herself. 77 733 915

Bai Hui has gradually become more assertive and self-improving. She confronts Lu Yuan and Qian Ning when they meddle in her private affairs, begins commissioned photography work to build her skills, and enrolls in photo-editing training because she wants to improve. 256 545 576
