Background / History

Ye Xinxin and Su Lexuan have been close since middle school. Their families were also close, and the two grew up like sisters, sharing nearly everything with each other. 9

Although her family is wealthy and lives in an upscale Jianghai City community, Xinxin grew up in a dysfunctional household. Her father, Ye Hong, is violent and favored sons, while her mother, Fan Lili, remained in the marriage despite the abuse. Xinxin was emotionally neglected by both parents and developed a strong need for security and affection. 270 341

Before becoming involved with Shen Lang, Xinxin cultivated an online “gamer girl” persona. She used flattering messages, a sweet voice, and attractive photos to persuade male players and streamers to carry her through ranked games. She avoided taking money, meeting offline, or video calling, blocking boosters once they pushed for real-life contact. 9 151

Her conduct eventually led to online harassment and doxxing after a small streamer sought an offline confrontation. Though she publicly dismissed the threats as trolling, the situation affected her daily life and made her play alone. 204 260

Appearance

Xinxin is a 169 cm, 49 kg young woman with a mature, fashionable image that often makes her seem older than her age. Her makeup, sharp tongue, and deliberately intimidating styling initially function as emotional armor. 260 261 270

• Originally wore short hair, mature makeup, and provocative dark clothing. 9 260
• Later grew her hair to shoulder length after learning that Shen Lang preferred long hair. 282
• Frequently mixes youthful clothing with more alluring fashion, including hoodies, skirts, jeans, boots, and stockings. 283 344 390
• Her outwardly cool, “femme fatale” aura contrasts with the clingy and childlike side she shows around Shen Lang. 260 445 448
• Five years later, she is depicted as a fashionable woman dressed in luxury brands, while retaining her playful manner. 613

Personality

Xinxin is outspoken, teasing, emotionally perceptive, and highly skilled at reading social situations. She is willing to use humor, flirtation, and carefully constructed excuses to steer a conversation or defuse attention from herself and Su Lexuan. 344 522

Her confidence is partly performative. Beneath her mature presentation, she is insecure, vulnerable, and deeply responsive to protection or reassurance because of her upbringing. She is particularly drawn to older, dependable men who can provide the stability absent from her family life. 261 268

She can be impulsive and enjoys the thrill of crossing boundaries, especially where Shen Lang and Su Lexuan are concerned. However, she does not want to permanently lose Su Lexuan; even while pursuing Shen Lang, she repeatedly tries to preserve or repair their friendship. 288 344 360

Story Role / Major Arcs

Online Gamer Persona

Xinxin is introduced as Su Lexuan’s short-haired best friend and an online “scumbag” who recruits male gamers to boost her rank. Her apparent confidence conceals little real-world romantic experience. 9 41 151

Doxxing and Growing Closer to Shen Lang

After online harassment exposes the risks of her gamer persona, Xinxin meets Shen Lang at Liyue Internet Cafe. His concern, gaming ability, and promises of protection quickly earn her trust; her favorability toward him rises from 12 to 27 during their first gaming sessions together. 258 260 261

Secret Relationship

Xinxin’s attachment develops rapidly as she finds the care and security missing from her family. She begins calling Shen Lang “Dad,” accepts financial support from him rather than her mother’s cold transfer, and changes her WeChat name from “Xinxin Doesn’t Want to Be Good” to “Xinxin Is So Good~.” 263 269 271

Conflict with Su Lexuan

Xinxin’s increasingly obvious intimacy with Shen Lang causes Su Lexuan to grow suspicious. After the crisis in Xinxin’s home, Xinxin openly admits that she has liked Shen Lang for a long time and asks Su Lexuan to give him to her. 321 341 342

Rather than withdrawing, Xinxin decides to continue pursuing Shen Lang while trying to reconcile with Su Lexuan. She creates a false chat history portraying herself as clingy and Shen Lang as resistant, attempting to protect both her friendship and secret relationship. 344

Shared Relationship and Family Acceptance

Su Lexuan eventually accepts Xinxin’s inclusion due to their long-standing bond. Xinxin becomes increasingly open about her place beside Shen Lang, though she still feels insecure about being treated equally. 372 445 446

When Fan Lili learns that Shen Lang is involved with both women, Xinxin reassures her mother that she has plans for her future. Fan Lili ultimately shows concern for Xinxin rather than outright rejecting the relationship. 546

Li Liusi’s Secret

Xinxin uncovers Shen Lang’s connection to Li Liusi and confronts him through a calculated video-call trick. After he confesses, she agrees to keep the secret from Su Lexuan, later taking the initiative to befriend Li Liusi and prepare Su Lexuan for future revelations. 528 529 574 577
