Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Initial name modification	1	Originally believed to require an authentic document containing a target’s real name. The change rewrites the target’s name across public perception and recorded information.
Xiao He trigger synergy	1 4	Renaming an enemy to “Lin Tiannan” can activate Xiao He’s Superpower, making her essential to his combat potential.
Cognition-based targeting	68	The ability is determined by the name or identity with the greatest public recognition, rather than strictly a legal or birth name.
Large-scale identity alteration	68	Can affect individuals, tribes, and specific species, but not excessively broad categories. Renaming M Country to “the country of Lin Tiannan” nearly exhausts her.

Background

Ye Wanqing was introduced to the Special Response Department as a Mutant whose Superpower could modify other people’s names. Early testing established that her changes affected both collective perception and official records, making her ability uniquely compatible with Xiao He’s power condition involving the name “Lin Tiannan.” 1

She was assigned to live with Xiao He under a contract that presented them as a couple. The Department prepared their apartment with matching household items and fabricated couple photographs to support the cover. At Beichang University of Science and Technology, she attended the Judicial Department as a second-year student while Xiao He attended Economics and Management. 2 3

Cui Man gave Ye the codename White Marsh, an auspicious beast associated with knowing the forms and appearances of all things. Although Ye initially saw herself as little more than logistical support during dangerous operations, she trained in physical fitness, self-defense, and hacking so she could better protect herself and support Xiao independently. 6 8 29

Her understanding of her ability changed after Department testing. Rather than being limited to legal names, she could alter identities based on public Cognition; the broader and more widely recognized the target, the more difficult the change became. 68

Appearance

Ye Wanqing is a petite young woman, initially described as slightly over 160 centimeters tall, with a round face, peach-blossom eyes, a delicate nose, and cherry lips. She originally wore a mushroom cut, later changing to a bob as her hair grew out. 1 56

• Initially had noticeable baby fat and fuller legs; disciplined diet and training reduced her weight from 56 to 52 kilograms in one month. 57
• Has a small cowlick that Xiao He habitually smooths down. 104 258
• Often dresses simply in casual clothes, but wears a black skirt suit and a White Marsh mask for operations. 25 154
• Keeps and wears a pufferfish-shaped hair clip given to her by Xiao He. 158

Personality

Ye Wanqing is sharp-tongued, proud, and easily embarrassed by Xiao He’s teasing. Their early domestic life is marked by arguments over bathrooms, hot water, cleanliness, and his blunt manner. Unlike Xiao He’s tendency to deal with problems only when they arrive, she prefers preparation and long-term planning. 3 8 19

Behind her defensiveness, she is compassionate and responsible. She learned to cook as a child to reduce the burden on her financially struggling parents, later planned to spend her reward money on their needs, and uses her resources to care for stray animals. 17 33 132

She is fiercely protective of those she loves. While usually reluctant to fight directly, she is willing to use her power creatively against people who threaten Xiao He and ultimately becomes a reliable operational support for the Department. 103 281

Abilities & Skills

Cognition-Based Name Modification

Ye Wanqing can alter the name or identity most widely recognized for a target. The new identity becomes integrated into public memory, understanding, and electronic records as though it had always been true. 68

• Can affect an individual, a tribe, or a specific species, but cannot change excessively broad categories such as “humans,” “fish,” or racial groups. 68
• The person whose name is changed, as well as people aware of Ye’s ability, remain unaffected by the memory and record alteration. 68
• The scale of the target determines the strain on her; changing M Country’s identity nearly exhausts her. 68
• Can restore a target’s original name after a temporary alteration. 103 104
• Used a facial-recognition app to identify Liu Minhao, alter his perceived name, and provoke a humiliating misunderstanding without exposing her involvement. 103

Trigger Support for Xiao He

By renaming a hostile target “Lin Tiannan,” Ye can create the identity condition needed for Xiao He to access his adaptive combat power. 1 4

• Xiao He must still perceive the target and regard them as an enemy for his ability to activate. 68
• Trusted people, including Ye herself, cannot normally trigger Xiao He even if renamed because they are on his subconscious “whitelist.” 68
• Renaming Xiao He himself “Lin Tiannan” caused his power to activate and increase without limit during testing. 68
• Their shared connection to the real Lin Tiannan may explain why this particular identity has such exceptional significance to both of their powers. 158 159

Cognitive and Research Support

Ye can use her ability on named concepts as well as people. She places Xiao He into a highly focused, semi-out-of-body working state by altering the name of the Plastic Decomposition Problem, allowing him to concentrate and write automatically. 103

• Supports Xiao He’s work on major scientific problems, including the Plastic Decomposition Plan. 103 127
• Uses Department-provided software and facial scanning to quickly obtain identity information in the field. 103
• Handles intelligence searches, communications, and target renaming during large-scale operations. 281

Training and Practical Skills

• Completed mandatory physical conditioning, self-defense, and hacking training. 8 21
• Improved her physical condition through diet and exercise; Department tests recorded reduced weight and body-fat percentage. 39
• An attentive cook, having learned household cooking during childhood to help her parents. 33
• Studies independently for her bar exam because she wants the option of working as a lawyer if she and Xiao He ever leave superhero work. 304

Equipment / Items

• Department smartphone — Custom high-performance phone with specialized programs for intelligence support and identity searches. 4 103
• White Marsh uniform and mask — Black skirt suit with a White Marsh-themed mask used to conceal her identity during operations. 25 154
• Pufferfish hair clip — A Christmas gift from Xiao He, bought shortly after they began dating. 158

Relationships

• Xiao He / Yinglong — Initially her contract partner and fake boyfriend; their constant bickering gradually became friendship, then mutual love. They began officially dating, became engaged, married, and later had a daughter. 19 127 223 296 301
• Cui Man — Her supervisor, mentor, and frequent teaser. Cui Man recognized Ye’s feelings for Xiao He early and developed the strategic applications of her name-changing ability. 59 68
• Ye Zhichun and Dai Na — Her parents. Ye is devoted to improving their lives and later introduces Xiao He to them as her serious partner. 17 169
• Huang Ling — Initially a perceived romantic rival for Xiao He. Huang later reveals that her pursuit was partly an intelligence exercise and formally steps aside. 17 104
• Xia Yu — Teammate and friend who joins Ye’s stray-animal shelter project. 128 132
• Tuantuan — Xiao He’s pet, which initially distrusts Ye Wanqing and competes with her for Xiao He’s attention. 99

Major Arcs

Contract Partnership

Ye and Xiao He begin as mutually dependent partners forced to pose as a couple. Their opposing habits—her messiness and his cleanliness obsession—make their shared home a constant source of conflict. 2 3 6

From Fake Couple to Friends

After Ye injures her knee, Xiao He carries her home, treats her wound, and openly acknowledges her kindness toward family and animals. They agree to become genuine friends rather than merely contractual partners. 19

White Marsh’s Expanding Role

Department experiments reveal the Cognition-based nature of Ye’s Superpower and its enormous strategic value. She becomes indispensable not only as Xiao He’s Trigger, but also as an intelligence and information-warfare specialist. 68 103 281

Romance with Xiao He

Ye’s jealousy of Huang Ling gradually forces her to confront her feelings. After Huang Ling withdraws, Ye and Xiao He leave hand in hand; their first official date confirms their relationship as genuine. 104 127

Shared Home and Animal Shelter

Ye establishes a shelter for stray cats and dogs in the unused ground floor of their apartment complex. The project reflects her compassion and becomes one of the couple’s first shared long-term commitments. 128 131 132

Marriage and Family

Ye and Xiao He become engaged, marry, and begin building a life beyond missions and tournaments. One month after their wedding, Ye begins work at the Special Response Department; she later gives birth to their daughter. 223 296 301
