Background / History

Lin Meijing was formerly a prominent editor and entertainment reporter at a well-known magazine. After its owner made improper demands of her, she publicly slapped him and lost her position amid his retaliation. Unable to find further work, she used her connections to obtain a publishing license and founded her own magazine despite having limited funds. 9

Her new publication initially had only one employee: Pei Shao. During recruitment, she set demanding tests and initially judged applicants by their educational background, but Pei’s performance forced her to reconsider. She apologized and personally guaranteed that he would not regret joining her magazine. 6 7 8

Lin later faced a direct professional challenge from Su Yating, a former colleague who sought to undermine her car-report feature by exploiting unreliable data. Although Lin had exhausted her connections trying to obtain firsthand information, she refused to return to her former employer even when threatened with failure. 12 13

Appearance

Lin Meijing is a long-haired woman repeatedly described as strikingly beautiful, with a fair complexion and a poised, elegant bearing. 10 18

• Often wears high heels. 12
• Has a slender, swan-like neck and a refined profile. 18
• Her normally composed appearance can give way to visibly flushed anger or embarrassment. 14 118

Personality

Lin initially presents herself as cold, proud, and difficult to approach. Her reserve is partly self-protection: she admits that she fears loneliness but wears a “disguise” to guard herself against people with ulterior motives. 18 107

She is highly ambitious and values professional integrity. Rather than submit to her former employer or return after leaving, she risks her finances and reputation to establish Meijing Magazine independently. 9 13

Beneath her pride, Lin is caring and emotionally sensitive. She worries about Pei Shao’s safety, supports him when he takes on unfamiliar assignments, and becomes increasingly unable to conceal her jealousy when she misunderstands his relationships with other women. 23 24 75 116

Rivalry with Su Yating

Su Yating attacks the credibility of Lin’s car-report data and tries to lure Pei away with a better-paying position. Pei’s unexpectedly accurate information and software analysis allow Lin to reverse the confrontation and humiliate Su instead. 10 12 14 15

Growing Closeness with Pei Shao

Reconciliation and Himalayas Expedition
