Background

Xia Yue is Chu Wang’s illegitimate daughter and Chu Jiaojiao’s paternal half-sister. Chu Wang brought her into the Chu family and transferred her to Huiying High School, triggering conflict with Jiaojiao and contributing to the breakdown of the Chu family marriage. While many girls ostracized Xia Yue, her appearance and deliberately sweet manner won her considerable male attention. 13

Before the current timeline, Xia Yue failed a mission after acting too quickly to seize Lu Yao’s fortune and drawing the male lead’s suspicion. She restarted the world at great cost; another failure would result in the erasure of her soul. Her strategy in this world was to win Lu Qi’s love and thereby obtain the Heavenly Dao’s fortune, while also targeting Lu Yao because of his exceptionally strong fortune. 12

Her plans repeatedly diverged from the prior timeline. Lu Yao refused her invitation to become the Basketball Club’s assistant, defended Chu Jiaojiao instead of rejecting her, and formed close ties with Jiang Bai. The loss of the Mary Sue Buff Aura she possessed in her previous life further reduced her ability to manipulate people as easily as before. 14 16

Appearance

Xia Yue is consistently described as beautiful and skilled at presenting herself attractively. Her appearance, soft manner, and carefully maintained “academic goddess” image initially help her gain admirers at school and online. 13 51 56

• Often adopts a sweet, delicate, or tearful expression to appear harmless and pitiful. 17 37
• Publicly cultivated as a wealthy, beautiful academic influencer through a professional marketing team. 56
• After her system is removed, the consequences of the lifespan she transferred to it rapidly age her face and body, leaving her visibly haggard. 88

Personality

Xia Yue is calculating, status-conscious, and intensely ambitious. She views relationships primarily as tools for gaining fortune, social standing, protection, or system points. Her pursuit of Lu Qi, Lu Yao, Jiang Bai, Wang Shining, and Liu Gang is shaped by what each person can provide rather than genuine attachment. 12 14 49 62

She is highly conscious of public perception. When challenged, Xia Yue frequently presents herself as fragile or misunderstood, relying on tears and a gentle facade to redirect sympathy toward herself and frame more direct people—especially Chu Jiaojiao—as cruel. 17 37 62

Her confidence is heavily dependent on the system’s tools and on external admiration. Setbacks, particularly Lu Yao’s success or attention from others, provoke jealousy and increasingly reckless decisions. 14 59 83

Abilities & System Tools

Strategic Manipulation

Xia Yue uses knowledge from her previous life, emotional performance, and targeted social alliances to influence others.

• Plans to gain the affection of pivotal figures in order to obtain their fortune. 12
• Exploits sympathy by crying, acting helpless, and allowing supporters such as Liu Hao, Wang Shining, and Liu Gang to defend her. 17 37 62
• Abandons Wang Shining after his family loses its status and financial usefulness. 49
• Uses paid marketing accounts and fabricated accusations to damage Lu Yao’s public reputation. 88

Fugitive System

Xia Yue’s system originates from an advanced interstellar world and has evaded the Main Brain’s rules of fairness. It provides contraband tools in exchange for points, fame, and lifespan. 36

• The system’s objective is to strengthen itself through Xia Yue’s accumulated fame and eventually devour Lu Yao’s system. 36 51
• It provided the Mary Sue Buff Aura in Xia Yue’s previous life, but she no longer possesses it after restarting the world. 14
• It can offer tools acquired through the interstellar black market, including devices that affect the human mental domain. 36
• It is ultimately captured and destroyed by an enforcer dispatched by the Main Brain. 88

Academic and Competition Tools

Xia Yue relies on system assistance to create the image of an exceptional scholar.

• Exchanged lifespan for an exam-answering tool with unlimited use in the current world. 29
• Used the system to obtain information about sealed exam papers and help Wang Shining prepare for his bet against Lu Yao. 43
• Obtained the Quiz Artifact before entering the Monroe Competition, allowing her to advance rapidly and build an online following. 51
• Upgraded the Answering Artifact during the Monroe finals, but it could not answer Lu Yao’s advanced mathematical-modeling question before the time limit expired. 59
• Used a system item to identify the maze’s shortest route on Genius Kids Face-Off, but still made a wrong turn in the real maze. 65 66

Mental-Control Device

Xia Yue acquired a mental-control device by trading ten years of lifespan, intending to activate it through physical contact with Lu Qi. 36

• Lu Yao prevented the contact and his system destroyed the device. 36
• The failed attempt exposed Lu Yao’s system to Xia Yue and escalated her system’s intent to eliminate him. 36

Relationships

• Lu Yao — Primary target and eventual enemy. Xia Yue seeks his exceptionally strong fortune, repeatedly attempts to undermine him, and later conspires to defame him; he exposes her schemes and brings a successful lawsuit against her. 12 36 88
• Lu Qi — Xia Yue’s intended conquest target. She seeks his love to gain Heavenly Dao fortune and unsuccessfully tries to control him with a mental device. 12 36
• Chu Jiaojiao — Paternal half-sister and long-standing rival. Xia Yue uses a victimized persona against Jiaojiao, while Jiaojiao openly rejects and confronts her manipulation. 13 17
• Wang Shining — Former fiancé. Xia Yue publicly displays affection with him while his family is useful, then ignores him after he loses his place in the Wang family. 37 49
• Liu Hao — Early admirer and defender who repeatedly accepts Xia Yue’s version of events without question. 17 31
• Liu Gang — Genius Kids Face-Off teammate and admirer. He repeatedly supports Xia Yue until their joint scheme to slander Lu Yao is exposed; both receive prison sentences. 62 88
• Fugitive System — Her source of tools, foreknowledge, and artificial advantages. Their partnership is transactional and collapses when the system is destroyed by the Main Brain’s enforcer. 36 88

Major Arcs

Huiying High School

Xia Yue transfers to Huiying High School before Lu Yao’s arrival and identifies him as a target upon recognizing him from her previous life. She initially intends to exploit Chu Jiaojiao’s hostility toward him, then appear sympathetic in order to gain his trust. 12 13

Her expected path changes when Lu Yao rejects her Basketball Club offer, joins Jiang Bai’s Flowers and Plants Club, and publicly protects Chu Jiaojiao. These deviations make Xia Yue increasingly anxious that she may fail to seize Lu Yao’s fortune again. 14 16

Wang Shining Engagement

Xia Yue becomes engaged to Wang Shining and publicly acts devoted to him. When his father is imprisoned and Wang Shining loses his family position, however, Xia Yue’s family dissolves the engagement and she cuts him off completely, damaging her reputation among their classmates. 37 49

Monroe Competition

Using the Quiz Artifact and online marketing, Xia Yue becomes a popular academic influencer and a widely predicted Monroe champion. Her fans promote her by belittling the prior champion, “Sun God,” unaware that he is Lu Yao. 51 56

She reaches the final against Huang Yuyan, but loses when Lu Yao appears as Sun and presents a problem beyond her basic Answering Artifact’s capacity. Xia Yue spends all her points upgrading the tool but still misses the sixty-second deadline. 59

*Genius Kids Face-Off*

Xia Yue joins the reality show believing it will restore her fame and system points. Her attempts to maintain a gentle, superior public persona are repeatedly undermined by her treatment of other contestants, including Neil, Yu Qiaoqiao, and Chen Mantou. 62 68 75 76

She gains attention for her maze performance but resents that Lu Yao and even Neil receive more public interest. Her inability to cooperate respectfully causes her team to overlook Neil’s correct observation during the escape-room challenge and finish last. 73 75

Downfall

After Lu Yao is injured saving a child, Xia Yue pays another ten years of lifespan for an opportunity to destroy his reputation. She and Liu Gang fabricate claims of “cold violence” and spread manipulated allegations online. 83 88

A leaked recording exposes their conspiracy. The Blue Orb system and a Main Brain enforcer then capture and destroy Xia Yue’s fugitive system, removing the force that preserved her appearance and revealing the physical cost of the lifespan she transferred. Xia Yue is sentenced to three years in prison for defamation. 88
