Background / History
Meng first encounters Fourth Prince Xu Tianming and the masked Ye Guyi in Mingde Hall. Mistaking them for unauthorized visitors, she questions them, then recognizes Xu Tianming’s imperial identification token and offers to guide them to Xuan Ziwen. His apparent indifference to her beauty stirs her competitive interest 31.
At Xuan Ziwen’s workbench, Meng withholds Xu Tianming’s identity from her brother, Xiao Hongchen, hoping to mediate a minor dispute and impress the prince. Xiao instead threatens Xu Tianming and invokes their grandfather’s authority. Realizing how serious the conflict has become, Meng scolds Xiao and tries to keep Xu Tianming from holding the incident against the Hongchen family 32 34 35.
Meng initially doubts Xu Tianming’s claim that he found flaws in Xuan Ziwen’s soul-tool sword. When Xuan confirms his assessment, she recognizes that Xu Tianming has genuine skill. During his subsequent fight with Xiao, she is astonished by his thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul rings, accepts Xu Tianming’s invitation to link through his Night Soul Domain, and watches him defeat her brother 33 36 37 38.

Personality
Meng enjoys being the center of attention, though she has rejected the boys who sought her favor. Xu Tianming’s lack of interest challenges her expectations, prompting her to adopt a deliberately sweet manner around him 31 32.
