Background / History

Li Rongxiu was raised as the greatly indulged younger son of the powerful Li family. His family considered him spoiled, prideful, and fond of pleasure, but also fundamentally kind, soft-hearted, and incapable of hiding his likes or dislikes behind false friendliness. His engagement to childhood friend Shen Manyao was arranged because the Li elders believed her poised, capable temperament would complement his own. 3

In his previous life, Li Rongxiu died in a car accident while driving his red sports car. He returned to his sixteen-year-old self before Shen Manyao ended their engagement, retaining memories of her eventual betrayal and of the damage caused by the Shen and Chi families. 1 2 27 His prior-life experience also included an undistinguished corporate stint as deputy manager of a business department after studying abroad. 46

Armed with foreknowledge, Li Rongxiu exposed Shen Manyao and Chi Junrui's relationship at the engagement banquet rather than accepting the humiliation that had defined his former life. The scandal damaged the Shen and Chi families' public standing and changed his position from dismissed wastrel to an increasingly serious figure among Diwan High School's elite. 6 11 24

Appearance

Li Rongxiu is consistently described as strikingly handsome, with fair, delicate features that make him stand out even among actors and wealthy heirs. During university military training, his appearance contrasts sharply with his sun-darkened classmates. 65 93

• Fair complexion and refined, delicate profile. 93
• Long curled eyelashes and bright, moist eyes. 93
• A naturally polished, aristocratic bearing; a tailored suit easily gives him the image of a pampered young master. 65
• Often associated with a flashy red sports car, even after his prior-life death in one. 27

Personality

Before his rebirth, Li Rongxiu was known as a lazy, pleasure-seeking playboy who relied on his family's protection. He can be stubborn, vain, impatient, and openly irritable when things do not go his way. However, he is also straightforward: he does not pretend affection for people he dislikes, and he is notably unguarded with those he accepts. 3 22

His second life makes him more restrained and strategic. He investigates threats discreetly, uses his memories to recognize changing opportunities, and becomes capable of organizing projects, investments, and retaliatory schemes. He remains impulsive when provoked, particularly online, and retains little tolerance for rigid schedules, office politics, or physical hardship. 2 45 84

Li Rongxiu is highly sociable and wins people over through generosity, humor, and an easygoing manner. He enjoys gathering friends, treating colleagues, and using food to build goodwill; his enthusiasm for good food is a recurring trait. 50 78 93
