Background / History

Xia Wanqing is Xia Lang and Zhao Jie's son and Xia Yu's younger half-brother. His status as an illegitimate child is a persistent source of conflict: Xia Yu repeatedly weaponizes it against him, while Zhao Jie and the Xia family protect him fiercely. 5 15 16

When Xia Yu returns from abroad, Wanqing is frightened by Xia Yu's cats and falls down the stairs, sustaining bruises and a forehead injury. He initially minimizes his condition to spare his mother worry, even as he feels ignored by Xia Lang and abandoned by Chu Lan. 1 2 3

The brothers' hostility escalates through accusations, stairway incidents, and hospital visits. Wanqing stages a severe fall while carrying luggage and implies Xia Yu was involved, gaining his parents' sympathy; later, after returning home in a wheelchair, he refuses to directly blame Xia Yu and prioritizes ending the family conflict. 11 12 16

He eventually moves into the company dormitory with Chu Lan. Although he claims Xia Yu has recently treated him well, he is relieved to be living with Chu Lan and increasingly recognizes how Xia Yu's family background influences others' behavior toward him. 21

Wanqing participates in the five-day island survival program Live Until the End as a member and captain of the Red Team. His devotion to Chu Lan repeatedly affects his decisions: he allows Chu Lan to have water, uses a Revival Card on him despite being opposing teams, and later ambushes Xia Yu while attempting to target Chu Lan instead. 25 30 31 36

During the final confrontation, Wanqing eliminates Zhang Wen but is hit twice and then eliminated by Xia Yu. The Blue Team's victory ends the showdown early. 46 47

Appearance

Wanqing is regarded by viewers as exceptionally beautiful, with fans describing him as “breathtakingly beautiful.” 24

• Often presents a soft, obedient, and delicate image.
• His eyes redden easily when distressed or humiliated. 9 31 46
• Is seen with a bruised forehead after his early fall and later wears head bandages while using a wheelchair. 2 16

Personality

Wanqing is outwardly considerate and gentle. He comforts Zhao Jie despite his own injuries, minimizes his pain, and later refuses to publicly place blame on Xia Yu in order to preserve peace. 3 12 16 His kindness toward Chu Lan is especially pronounced; he feels guilty over Chu Lan's elimination and gives up a Revival Card to bring him back into the game. 30 31

Beneath this restrained exterior, he is jealous, resentful, and highly sensitive to Xia Yu and Chu Lan's shared history. Xia Yu's use of “Xiao Si,” Chu Lan's compliance with Xia Yu's demands, and the perception that others defer to Xia Yu all intensify Wanqing's anger. 5 9 21 26

He is also capable of calculated deception. He engineers a stairway fall that results in a hospital emergency, presents Xia Yu as potentially responsible, and uses vulnerability to draw protection from his mother. 11

Story Role / Major Arcs

Return of Xia Yu

Wanqing's unstable relationship with Xia Yu begins immediately upon Xia Yu's return. His fear of Xia Yu's cats leads to his first fall, after which Xia Yu repeatedly needles him with the nickname “Xiao Si” and exploits Wanqing's dependence on Chu Lan. 1 4 5 9

Stairway and Hospital Conflict

After an earlier injury, Wanqing stages another fall down the stairs while carrying luggage. The resulting hospital incident intensifies the Xia family's divisions, but Wanqing later claims he fell by himself rather than openly condemning Xia Yu. 11 16

Moving in with Chu Lan

Wanqing leaves the Xia Household to share the company dormitory with Chu Lan. The move gives him distance from Xia Yu, but his insecurity over Chu Lan's fear of and history with Xia Yu remains unresolved. 21

*Live Until the End*

As Red Team captain, Wanqing faces internal conflict with Qi Ning and external conflict with the Blue Team. He revives Chu Lan across team lines, eliminates Xia Yu in an ambush, later revives Xia Yu after searching through the night, and is eventually eliminated by Xia Yu in the final battle. 25 31 36 41 47

Public Question About Chu Lan

After the game, Xia Yu directly asks Chu Lan whether he and Wanqing are dating. Chu Lan refuses to answer clearly, leaving Wanqing embarrassed and upset as the surrounding audience and fans speculate about their relationship. 49
