Background / History

Tang Weisheng is the son of Xuan Zhong and Tang Wansu. His mother entered the Xuan Household after Xuan Zhong’s divorce from Ran Yao, but Xuan Zhe’s grandfather refused to allow Tang Weisheng to take the Xuan surname. He therefore bears his mother’s surname despite being part of the Xuan bloodline. Xuan Zhong secretly gave him three percent of Power One’s shares. 54

Growing up, Tang Weisheng was repeatedly compared to his elder half-brother, Xuan Zhe. Xuan Zhong focused his attention on Xuan Zhe while treating Tang Weisheng with money rather than care; Tang Wansu, meanwhile, pushed him to surpass Xuan Zhe and treated their brotherhood as an opposition. His childhood attachment to SpongeBob SquarePants was especially affected by this environment: Tang Wansu destroyed or discarded his cards, posters, and models whenever she found them. 64 77

His resentment toward Xuan Zhe led him to create trouble for him over the years, largely as a way of seeking attention. By the time Wen Shuang enters his life, Tang Weisheng is feared in business circles for his ruthless methods and is known behind his back as “the Madman.” 55 58

Appearance

Tang Weisheng is a strikingly attractive young man whose hostile temperament restrains an otherwise seductive charm. He is often described as cold, detached, and difficult to approach. 55 62

• Fair skin, which can redden noticeably when he washes his hands roughly. 55
• Crimson lips and eyes described as carrying ripples beneath a cold exterior. 55
• Beautiful, long fingers, particularly noticeable when he smokes. 62
• Usually dresses sharply; a formal suit and slicked-back hair emphasize his smooth forehead and appearance. 131
• Has a SpongeBob tattoo. 62
• Owns SpongeBob-themed clothing and a SpongeBob phone case. 110 125

Personality

Tang Weisheng is blunt, prickly, and highly defensive. He tends to answer concern with sarcasm, rejects help before accepting it, and becomes openly hostile when embarrassed. Despite this, he is emotionally perceptive and unusually sensitive to rejection, humiliation, and perceived insincerity. 67 76 84

His harshness is closely tied to his upbringing. Having been treated as a tool in Tang Wansu’s competition with the Xuan family, he learned to attract attention by making trouble and to hide what he loves from others. He prefers solitude and initially believes being alone is enough, yet he gradually learns to rely on Tan Li, Wen Shuang, and Xuan Zhe. 64 76 92

Tang Weisheng is intensely loyal once he accepts someone as his own. He protects Wen Shuang during danger, retaliates against those who harm Tan Li, and ultimately chooses a peaceful life with the people who support him rather than continuing Tang Wansu’s cycle of resentment. 68 79 100

Abilities & Skills

Business Negotiation

Tang Weisheng operates independently in business circles and negotiates with major figures such as Cui Yaocheng. He recognizes when Xuan Zhe’s moves will make a business deal untenable and adjusts accordingly. 60

• Holds Power One shares originally given by Xuan Zhong. 54
• Later receives an additional five percent of Power One shares from Xuan Zhe as his “dowry” for his relationship with Tan Li. 103
• Has connections useful enough for Yu Ze to seek his help contacting ophthalmology specialist Qu Tian. 134

Combat and Intimidation

Tang Weisheng has a fearsome reputation for ruthless retaliation. His past abuse and exposure to vicious treatment made him difficult to intimidate. 58

• Beats Cui Mingsheng’s bodyguard nearly to death after the man crosses him. 58
• Is widely considered formidable even without the Xuan surname. 58
• Personally engineers retaliation against Tan Tianhe, contributing to scandals that damage Chuan Entertainment. 79

Emotional Concealment

Tang Weisheng is exceptionally skilled at masking discomfort and hostility behind a cold expression.

• Maintains an outwardly detached demeanor even when nauseated or distressed. 67
• Initially struggles to ask for support, but later seeks Wen Shuang’s advice when facing problems involving Tang Wansu and Tan Li. 92
• His reserve weakens around SpongeBob gifts and Tan Li’s affection. 64 63

Weaknesses and Health

• Allergic to honeysuckle; contact makes him itch all over. 77
• Prone to motion sickness, particularly when Tan Li drives. 67
• Afraid of ghosts despite initially refusing to admit it; becomes too frightened to respond in a haunted house. 116
• His competitive pride makes him vulnerable to provocation, including amusement-park challenges he cannot comfortably endure. 115
• Tang Wansu’s prolonged abuse leaves him emotionally unstable; her actions eventually drive him to a suicide attempt and critical hospitalization. 90 100 101

Equipment / Personal Items

• SpongeBob figurines, cards, posters, and other memorabilia. 64
• SpongeBob-themed phone case and clothing. 110 125
• SpongeBob tattoo. 62
• Cigarettes, though Xuan Zhe later restricts his smoking and drinking on medical advice. 62 114

Relationships

• Xuan Zhe — Elder half-brother. Their childhood relationship was shaped by comparison, resentment, and Tang Wansu’s insistence that they were enemies; they gradually reconcile and become protective of one another. 54 84 98
• Tang Wansu — Mother. Her obsession with status, resentment toward Ran Yao, and abuse deeply damage Tang Weisheng; their relationship reaches a breaking point after she targets Tan Li’s mother. 64 90 100
• Xuan Zhong — Father. He acknowledges Tang Weisheng as his son but historically favors Xuan Zhe and gives Tang Weisheng little genuine attention. 54 64
• Tan Li — Lover. Tan Li pursues him despite Tang Weisheng’s hostility, protects him from Tang Wansu, and becomes the person Tang Weisheng learns to trust and depend on. 63 78 90
• Wen Shuang — Half-brother’s partner, later friend and family. They begin as hostile rivals, but Wen Shuang repeatedly helps him, saves his life, and becomes someone Tang Weisheng openly worries about. 55 75 100 130
• Ran Yao — Xuan Zhe’s mother. Unlike Tang Wansu, she never treats Tang Weisheng harshly and later accepts him warmly as family. 133
• Yu Ze — Rival. Their mutual dislike is fueled by Yu Ze mocking Tang Weisheng’s SpongeBob interests and Tang Weisheng’s contempt for Yu Ze. 110 125 126
• Qu Tian — Former university basketball teammate and long-term acquaintance; Tang Weisheng can contact him for specialist medical assistance. 134

Story Role / Major Arcs

Conflict with Wen Shuang

Tang Weisheng initially targets Wen Shuang because of Wen Shuang’s relationship with Xuan Zhe. He mocks Wen Shuang and attempts to intimidate him, but their encounters repeatedly end in Tang Weisheng’s embarrassment—most notably when Wen Shuang exposes his SpongeBob underwear. 55 56

Despite their conflict, Tang Weisheng intervenes when Wen Shuang is threatened by Cui Mingsheng’s side and later joins Xuan Zhe in dealing with the people connected to Wen Shuang’s stalker. 58 60

Reconciliation with Xuan Zhe

Tang Weisheng and Xuan Zhe begin to soften toward each other after Wen Shuang becomes part of their lives. Tang Weisheng protects Wen Shuang during a dangerous fall, while Xuan Zhe repays him by preserving his business interests and later supporting him against Tang Wansu. 60 68 98

By the later story, Tang Weisheng can call Xuan Zhe “Brother” sincerely, and Xuan Zhe publicly recognizes him as family regardless of their different surnames. 72 98

Relationship with Tan Li

Tang Weisheng meets Tan Li at a lounge-bar rooftop, where Tan Li’s interest begins with Tang Weisheng’s appearance and grows after discovering his attachment to SpongeBob. Tan Li’s figurines become an early point of connection between them. 62 64

Although Tang Weisheng repeatedly tries to push Tan Li away, he eventually turns to him after being drugged and injured. Their relationship becomes explicit after Tan Li rushes to his aid, and Tang Weisheng begins retaliating against Tan Tianhe for the harm done to both of them. 78 79

Breaking from Tang Wansu

Tang Wansu rejects Tang Weisheng’s relationship with Tan Li and physically and emotionally abuses him. Tan Li openly defends Tang Weisheng, telling Tang Wansu that her son is not her tool. 90

After learning that Tang Wansu was involved in an attack on Tan Li’s mother, Tang Weisheng confronts her and falls into despair. He attempts suicide, but Wen Shuang saves him; he survives emergency surgery and later wakes in the hospital. 100 101 102

Recovery and New Life

Following his recovery, Tang Weisheng lets go of much of his old resentment. He accepts Xuan Zhe and Wen Shuang as family, receives Xuan Zhe’s approval of his relationship with Tan Li, and gains additional Power One shares as a dowry. 103 109

He assists with Wen Shuang and Xuan Zhe’s wedding preparations by bringing stylists to prepare Wen Shuang, confirming his restored place within the family. 132
