Background / History

Mu Xi is Ouyang Zixin's best friend and roommate. Outraged by Lin Xun breaking up with Zixin and seeing Zixin blame herself rather than resent him, Mu Xi confronts Lin Xun outside his dormitory and calls him a scumbag. Unable to refute his carefully framed explanation, she resolves to gather undeniable evidence instead. 5

Her initial plan is to personally approach and seduce Lin Xun: if he accepts her advances after claiming he ended his relationship to focus on cultivation, she believes Zixin will finally recognize his hypocrisy. Mu Xi begins repeatedly inserting herself into his social life, including taking him to dinner, attempting to accompany him to the Individual Credit Tournament, and probing him about Gu Yue and Ouyang Zixin. 5 10 22

Mu Xi later follows Lin Xun and Gu Yue with Ouyang Zixin, expecting to uncover romantic misconduct. Instead, she observes a restrained, businesslike dinner and learns that Lin Xun quietly paid for her and Zixin's table without exposing that they had been following him. The failure leaves her frustrated by how difficult he is to judge or expose. 24 25

She organizes a staged “heroine rescues handsome man” scenario intended to isolate Lin Xun, save him, and create ambiguity that Zixin can witness. The scheme is disrupted by actual extortionists, escalating into a confrontation with Guang Biao and his men. Mu Xi is knocked unconscious while trying to stand in front of Lin Xun; he carries her from the alley and arranges a nearby hotel room for her recovery. 40 41 42 43

Although she admits that she arranged a later banquet test involving women surrounding Lin Xun, the plan fails to make him appear frivolous. Ouyang Zixin understands Mu Xi's concern but remains convinced that Lin Xun is not the person Mu Xi believes him to be. 52 53 54

During the riot-phase Spirit Ascension Platform examination, Mu Xi fights alongside her own team before a Mandala Snake ambush and a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear place her in danger. Lin Xun saves her twice and ultimately kills the bear, forcing Mu Xi to reassess both his strength and her former judgment of him. 73 74 75

Personality

Mu Xi is fiercely protective of Ouyang Zixin. She regards Lin Xun as a threat to her best friend's happiness and is willing to scheme, investigate, and even place herself in compromising situations to prove that he is untrustworthy. Her motivation is not simple hostility: she would rather see Zixin hurt temporarily than remain devoted to someone she believes will harm her. 5 40 54

She is confident, proud, and highly proactive. Mu Xi organizes staged confrontations, recruits accomplices, and carefully plans how to control the impression others receive. However, her plans repeatedly fail because Lin Xun either recognizes the setup or behaves more thoughtfully than she expects. 40 41 52 54

Despite her assertiveness, Mu Xi is easily flustered by close contact with Lin Xun and becomes increasingly conflicted as he protects her. Her distraction after being rescued by him nearly costs her life during the Spirit Ascension Platform examination. 41 43 73
