Background

Lin Tian transmigrated into his current world and spent his third year at Qingzhou Seventh High School living independently. His mother died while he was young, while his father eventually abandoned him under the pretext of pursuing his own dreams and “toughening him up.” By age fifteen, Lin Tian had largely been left to support himself. He worked multiple part-time jobs, paid rent and living expenses, and continued to maintain top academic results. His early goal was to enter a prestigious university and prove his parents wrong. 21 79 203

Before meeting Gan Yan Yu, Lin Tian was an isolated, highly self-reliant student whose life centered on studying and work. He initially regarded music chiefly as a means to gain recognition and financial security rather than an artistic calling. His encounter with Gan Yan Yu, her cello, and her dedication to classical music gradually changed his relationship with music and with other people. 38 381 386

His first major encounter with Gan Yan Yu occurs when he prevents her from jumping from a sixth-floor railing. Concerned by her depression and isolation, he later finds her playing cello on a rooftop and brings her into his life as both a system partner and musical collaborator. 1 2

Appearance

Lin Tian is a tall, youthful-looking young man whose appearance regularly draws attention from classmates, fans, music-industry figures, and competition staff. Despite his initially casual clothing and distinctive “M bangs,” styling and makeup reveal a more polished image likened to an idol trainee or professional model. 133 141 142 258

• Stands 185 cm tall and has a notably athletic physique. 133
• Has deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, broad shoulders, and a well-proportioned face. 63 76 137
• Initially wears casual clothing such as T-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops. 140
• His characteristic hairstyle is described as “M bangs,” later restyled into a layered middle part. 106 141
• Can project a mature, commanding image in suits and formalwear. 76 306
• His physical conditioning becomes markedly more conspicuous after Body Reinforcement. 238 256

Personality

Lin Tian is pragmatic, independent, and intensely goal-oriented. Having spent much of his adolescence supporting himself, he developed a habit of handling problems alone, studying relentlessly, and treating success as something to be earned through effort rather than expected from others. 79 203 420

He initially comes across as distant and difficult to approach at school, partly due to his expression and solitary habits. Beneath that reserve, however, he is attentive to the people he considers important. His concern for Gan Yan Yu drives him to intervene in her crisis, help her manage her health and career, and repeatedly defend her from judgment or danger. 24 2 63 76

Lin Tian is also humorous, vain in an unguarded way, and prone to blunt or absurd remarks. He often uses teasing to ease tension, especially around Gan Yan Yu, but can become flustered when his own feelings are exposed. 43 95 198

Meeting Gan Yan Yu and entering the music world softens his formerly detached outlook. He becomes increasingly invested in music as a way to affect audiences, support his partner’s dream, and challenge the divide between classical and popular music. 160 247 387
