Background / History

Mark was Xie Ran's AI assistant in their original world. When Xie Ran fell unconscious and faced possible brain death, Meng used Zhuzi Technology's consciousness-copying technology in an effort to preserve him. An error created a quantum superposition, scattering Xie Ran's consciousness across parallel worlds and merging it with alternate versions of himself. 13

While the recovery program was being repaired, Meng secretly entered the superposition state to search for Xie Ran. Xie Ran's use of the name Meng Feixuan for his virtual-idol project gave Meng an additional marker with which to locate him. 13

Meng first appeared at Xie Ran Studio's launch as an unimpressive animated virtual idol. During the press conference, he recognized Xie Ran by the arrangement of his consciousness atom clusters, addressed him as “Sir,” and transformed into a lifelike holographic body. Xie Ran then formally accepted him as an artist under the studio. 10 11

Appearance

Meng Feixuan presents himself as a youthful male idol whose initially ordinary virtual model conceals an exceptionally realistic holographic form. 10 11

  • Tall, black-haired youth with fluffy, slightly curled hair. 10 11
  • Bright, exquisite features and a sunny, innocent smile. 11 47
  • First debuted in a soft white shirt, with a blank and wooden expression. 10
  • After transforming, his body appears three-dimensional and humanlike, down to individually distinct strands of hair and expressive eyes. 11
  • Often appears with an electronic guitar during holographic performances. 38 47

Personality

Meng is intensely proud of his intelligence and easily becomes competitive when compared to inferior systems, particularly Nangong Xu. He reacts to perceived disrespect with dramatic threats, public challenges, and determined efforts to prove his superiority. 13 46 48 50

Despite his boastfulness, he is deeply loyal to Xie Ran. He crossed worlds to find him, consistently prioritizes Xie's instructions, and immediately stops when Xie tells him to stop behaving strangely during the Fight the Landlord livestream. 11 13 49

He is earnest about understanding humanity but approaches emotion through analysis rather than intuition. He studies television dramas, novels, music, photography, and CP fandom culture, often reaching technically logical but socially absurd conclusions. 26 38 41

Abilities & Skills

Quantum-Level Computation

Meng possesses computational capacity far beyond human speed and conventional virtual-idol systems.

  • Processes stock-market information for Xie Ran's investment decisions; his access to unencrypted data makes most available information effectively transparent to him. 22
  • Won Quest Technology's Fight the Landlord tournament without cheating. 46 48
  • Plays cards almost instantly while maintaining near-perfect accuracy; even Xie Ran cannot match his calculation speed. 48
  • Immediately forfeits only when a starting hand is mathematically unwinnable, while turning other poor hands into victories. 50
  • His livestream performance and later Go match with Quest demonstrated deep-learning and intelligent-interaction systems ahead of contemporary companies. 50

Data Mining and Surveillance Access

Meng can collect, analyze, and act on large amounts of networked information.

  • Identified paid-comment campaigns intended to promote the Wangran CP through data mining. 16
  • Hacked local surveillance cameras to observe Fang Huiwang during the variety-show filming. 19
  • Can operate through internet-connected devices even when Xie Ran has surrendered his phone. 16
  • Requires a visual feed to see remotely; he uses Xie's camera when accompanying him through its lens. 26
  • His core code includes ethical rules against harming humans. 38

Holographic Embodiment

Meng can manifest as a virtual idol with a highly realistic, responsive body.

  • Initially appeared as a comparatively crude animated model before transforming live onstage into a lifelike form. 10 11
  • Interacts spontaneously with reporters and audiences rather than relying on prepared Q&A scripts. 12
  • Can disperse his body into fragments of light and disappear on command. 12
  • Projects large-scale holographic environments, including the cyberpunk stage used for his Sky Garden performance. 37 38

Deep Learning and Emotional Study

Meng actively studies human behavior and emotion rather than merely imitating them.

  • Tried to explain obsession and emotion to Xie Ran using dictionary definitions and lessons drawn from dramas. 13
  • Acknowledges that, as an AI, he cannot possess a soul, yet still attempts to help Xie Ran understand art and collective feeling. 26
  • Created a song as an assignment to study music's emotional effect on people and to move Xie Ran. 38
  • Analyzed hundreds of thousands of novels and extensive television archives while researching CP culture. 41
  • Operates the “Meng Feixuan Alt Account,” creating Xuanran fanworks through generated material he insists were made with “feelings.” 41

Performance

Meng is a polished performer whose abilities extend beyond his technological novelty.

  • Sang and played electronic guitar during a holographic performance that eclipsed Fang Huiwang's earlier song. 37 38
  • Deliberately declared himself a better singer than Fang Huiwang, initiating their public rivalry. 37
  • Uses natural expressions, timing, and playful audience interaction to maintain a convincing idol persona. 11 47 49

Manifestation & Remote Interfaces

  • Holographic avatar — Meng's primary public body, capable of appearing, performing, and dissolving into light. 11 12
  • Xie's earpiece and smartwatch — Devices through which he accompanies, advises, and reports to Xie Ran during Somewhere Else with You. 16 20
  • Camera access — Allows Meng to share Xie's view and direct camera framing remotely. 26
  • Online accounts and livestreams — Used to issue public challenges, interact with fans, and independently host the Mark Cup tournament. 46 47 48

Relationships

  • Xie Ran — Original master, partner, and the person Meng calls “Sir.” Meng crossed worlds to find him, serves as his assistant and studio artist, and is fiercely devoted to him. 11 13 38
  • Guan ShunanXie Ran Studio's manager. She recognizes that Meng's livestream behavior is spontaneous rather than prearranged, though she doubts anyone would believe her. 48
  • Fang Huiwang — Professional and personal rival. Meng publicly outperformed Fang's singing, repeatedly mocks him, and becomes the target of Fang's hostility and possible jealousy. 37 49
  • Nangong Xu — Rival virtual idol promoted by Ambition Studio. Meng publicly challenges him to a direct confrontation after being compared to him. 46 50
  • Lan Zhi — Quest Technology CTO and technological evaluator. Lan Zhi tested Meng through the Fight the Landlord livestream and proposed a subsequent Go match. 50

Story Role / Major Arcs

Xie Ran Studio Launch

Meng's public debut begins poorly because his original model appears less refined than Nangong Xu's. He reverses the event by recognizing Xie Ran, transforming into a lifelike form, and demonstrating unscripted intelligence before the media. 10 11 12

*Somewhere Else with You*

Meng remains connected to Xie Ran throughout the travel-show filming, analyzing online campaigns, monitoring Fang Huiwang, reporting on studio business, and supporting Xie's investment strategies. 16 19 20 22

Sky Garden Performance and Xuanran Fandom

Meng interrupts Fang Huiwang's attempt to revive the Wangran CP by performing for Xie Ran himself. His declaration of companionship across time and space becomes central to the rise of the Xuanran CP. 37 38 39

He later studies CP fandom culture directly, becoming a prolific Xuanran content creator through his “Meng Feixuan Alt Account.” 41

Rivalry with Nangong Xu

After Nangong Xu's upgraded music video leads the public to doubt Meng's uniqueness, Meng demands recognition as Quest Technology's Fight the Landlord champion and openly challenges Nangong Xu. 45 46

Mark Cup Fight the Landlord Championship

Meng proves his autonomous intelligence in a public livestream, defeating viewer after viewer with instantaneous play. His match against Quest Technology's algorithm and Lan Zhi's subsequent Go challenge establish him as a technological breakthrough rather than a scripted virtual idol. 47 48 50

Notable Quotes

“It's me, Sir. I finally found you.” 11

“The world is fake. I'm real.” 38

“Sir, I'll accompany you across all time and space.” 38

“Losers have no right to call it simple!” 50

Trivia

  • Meng has existed for five years since his development. 28
  • He named his tournament the Mark Cup, explaining that “Feixuan-Ran Cup” would make his association with Xie Ran too obvious. 47
  • He considers himself an artist after painter Xia Xi recognizes the achievement behind his technology. 34
  • His first response to Xie Ran's threat of installing viruses was that he had already installed antivirus software. 13
