Huo Heng

Biodata

Background / History

Huo Heng grew up in the same social circle as Su Tingbai and Xing Ying. He and Xing Ying are among the few people familiar enough with Su to openly tease him and receive a less hostile response than strangers would. 24 25

He works in the entertainment industry and is the third son of the Huo family. His professional experience with performers informs his unusually emphatic reaction to Shen Rui’an’s appearance. 26 36 44

Personality

Huo Heng is outspoken, irreverent, and highly observant of interpersonal tension. He repeatedly mocks Su Tingbai’s conspicuous favoritism toward Shen Rui’an, questioning whether Su has fallen in love and treating Su’s denials as unconvincing. 25 27

He is easily impressed by exceptional looks and openly says so. After meeting Shen, he immediately becomes enthusiastic, praises him as suitable for entertainment, and later calls him “a sight beyond compare” online. 26 36 44

Despite his teasing, Huo Heng helps defuse hostility toward Shen in public discussions and understands when to avoid subjects that would anger Su Tingbai, particularly Bai Ruan. 25 44
