Background

Bei Wei initially works alongside Zhang Yang at Mingyang Advertising. Although she appears cheerful, approachable, and calls him “Brother Zhang,” she treats her coworkers this way as a means of navigating the workplace rather than as special affection. She turns down Zhou Song directly, advising him to focus on his work and self-improvement instead. 2

She values a partner who feels secure and grounded, dismissing wealth alone as a basis for attraction. 4 Her view of Zhang Yang begins to shift after he offers her a ride in his newly purchased Porsche; she remarks that she no longer recognizes the more confident man before her. 7

Her relationship with Zhang Yang develops through shared meals, outings, and increasingly open affection. By the time they appear at the company as a couple, their relationship is no longer secret. 21 59

Appearance

Bei Wei is consistently described as fair-skinned and sweet-faced, with an energetic yet soft presence. She has long black hair, often worn in a ponytail, and a slender waist. 7 18 76

• Fair, bright complexion that stands out under night lights. 11
• Long black hair with a fresh, subtle fragrance. 7 18
• Often dresses in feminine, stylish outfits, including a Chanel-style dress. 12
• Described by Feng Ming as retaining the “fresh, sweet” appearance he remembered from their school days. 42
• An anti-aging serum later restores her body and appearance by roughly ten years, leaving her looking eighteen again. 448

Personality

Bei Wei is warm and socially capable, but initially keeps a measured distance from workplace admirers. Her friendliness is genuine in manner but not necessarily romantic in intent, and she is direct when rejecting unwanted advances. 2

She is independent and dislikes taking unfair advantage of Zhang Yang. When he offers to give her half of a new shop so she can live without financial pressure, she instead frames their arrangement as mutual support: he provides resources while she contributes labor. 61 She later insists on a fifty-fifty ownership split for Youjian Book Cafe. 229

In her relationship with Zhang Yang, Bei Wei is affectionate, proud, and openly admiring. She introduces him to her friends with visible pride, remains disengaged when former crush Feng Ming attempts to reconnect, and becomes increasingly candid about her hopes for their future family. 42 68 447
