Background / History

Mo Xiangwen awakens in his hometown after transmigrating back to his high-school years. Seeing his parents healthy despite his memories, he resolves to stop prioritizing games and focus on the National College Entrance Examination instead. 1

He returns to school determined to study, finding that he can understand mathematics more easily than before. His efforts produce a major improvement: he scores 122 in mathematics on the Third Mock Exam, ranks first in his class, and reaches the Second-Tier Undergraduate Cutoff. 2 8 His eventual leap from a regular class to a 985 university becomes an example used by his former homeroom teacher to encourage students. 145

At university, Xiangwen’s online and offline circles begin to overlap. He encounters Yan Nuoya during a trip, later realizes that she understands him unusually well, and identifies her as his online friend Pigeon. 18 53 He also meets the Su sisters in person and correctly distinguishes Su Mengli as the guild leader from Su Mengyao, Xiaohuo, by their personalities. 29

Personality

Mo Xiangwen is reserved, pragmatic, and strongly averse to unnecessary trouble. He frequently refuses burdensome requests on instinct, though he will reconsider when someone explains why he is needed. 109 He is initially uncomfortable with attention from girls and repeatedly insists that his friendships are platonic when teased by his roommates. 24 35

He values independence and dislikes accepting money or favors that could compromise his principles. When Su Mengli offers to cover studio purchases, he insists on paying himself and proposes formal shareholder arrangements instead. 63

Despite his guarded nature, Xiangwen is attentive to others’ needs. He slows down to match Su Mengyao’s pace during a run, prioritizes Bai Shishi’s health and studies over studio deadlines, and supports Yan Nuoya when she is injured or unwell. 112 157 160

As a leader, he emphasizes fairness, direct communication, and recognizing each teammate’s contribution. He later acknowledges that assigning Su Mengli only supporting work made her feel excluded, apologizes, and reassesses the team’s division of labor. 41 147 179
