Background / History

Chu Xiyue transmigrated into a novel world and entered the entertainment industry, though she initially treated show-business work with detached practicality rather than ambition. She joined the livestream dating program The One She Loves Most, where her interest in other guests’ hidden relationships quickly outweighed any interest in participating in romance herself 2 4 5.

Her Gossip-Eating System gave her access to private histories and future developments. She used this knowledge first as entertainment, avidly following Li Fan’er and Zhao Xizhou’s unresolved relationship, but later as a means of protecting people and exposing wrongdoing 4 79.

After learning that Xiao Rui had systematically destroyed the lives of women he treated as substitutes for his former love, Chu deliberately became his reality-show partner, assigned him exhausting brick-moving labor, contacted his victims anonymously, and helped them identify the pattern behind their tragedies. Xiao Rui was ultimately imprisoned 71 72 73 178.

Chu’s father acquired BK Entertainment after learning she had been mistreated there and transferred it to her. She renamed the company Dawn Entertainment, hired a professional manager, dismissed corrupt and incapable staff, and rebuilt its roster and operations 99.

As an investor, she put fifty million yuan into Eternal Island after learning of its future success. The film, later referenced as Eternal Lonely Island, earned seven billion yuan at the box office and made her roughly three billion yuan in profit after expenses 80 246. She subsequently invested in and controlled the creative direction of productions including Forest of Love and Ying Su 218 245.

Appearance

Chu Xiyue is widely noted for extraordinary, camera-proof beauty. Her barefaced appearance, fair skin, refined features, and composed bearing repeatedly draw attention from guests, viewers, and industry figures alike 22 102 139.

• Long dark hair; she has appeared with a high ponytail and without bangs 60.
• Described as having a “lotus-like” face and an ethereal, celestial appearance under stage lighting 22 102.

• Often dresses elegantly for public events, including a pale-blue star-patterned gown paired with Cheng Heyun’s black suit jacket at a film-festival red carpet 218 220.

Personality

Chu Xiyue is blunt, self-possessed, and difficult to intimidate. She rejects unwanted advances, confronts sexist or exploitative behavior directly, and is unwilling to play the obedient role others expect from a young woman in entertainment or business 87 136.

Her defining trait is an unabashed love of gossip. She eagerly follows scandals, romance, feuds, and secrets through the system, often treating them as better entertainment than the programs she is hired to appear on. Although this habit earns her a public “Gossip King” image, she distinguishes between harmless private matters and wrongdoing that deserves exposure 60 82 237.

Beneath her mischievous curiosity, Chu is protective and pragmatic. She aids women harmed by predatory men, shields subordinates from coercion, intervenes when she believes someone can still be saved, and uses her wealth and influence to create practical solutions 45 72 94 245.
