Story Role
Car Club and Cloud Sea Club
Xiang Xiaotian first appears within the Magic City car-club circle, where she is respected as someone whose attendance helps draw others to events. She recognizes Zhang Yang as the owner of a Cullinan Black Badge and later contacts him privately regarding her club project. 152 153 158
Childhood Betrothal
She reveals that her grandfather arranged a childhood betrothal, though she has never meaningfully known the intended match. When her father summons her to Hangzhou to meet Lu Shaokang, she turns to Zhang Yang for help, openly gambling that he feels at least some affection for her. 172 182 183
Zhang Yang accompanies her to Hangzhou and poses as her boyfriend before her parents. Xiaotian commits fully to the claim, even declaring that she would elope with him rather than submit to the family arrangement. 186 187
She later meets Lu Shaokang and his parents herself, admits she loves someone else, and leaves with Zhang Yang. Her refusal forces Xiang Detao to abandon the planned match with the Lu family. 190 191
From Pretending to a Real Relationship
Although the boyfriend role begins as a convenient fiction, Xiaotian refuses to let it remain one. She tells Zhang Yang that, next time, she wants to stand openly beside him rather than act. 192
During a shopping trip with Mi Guo, she is hurt when Zhang Yang appears willing to spend freely on himself but not on her. He ultimately gives her a diamond necklace and earrings worth five million yuan, prompting her to kiss him passionately. 196 197
Their relationship deepens through Xiaotian’s birthday celebration, time together at the InterContinental Garden Hotel, and increasingly public displays of affection in Magic City’s elite social circles. 218 224 310 311
