Background / History

He Jinyuan debuted through a talent show and became a recently promoted idol with several million Weibo followers, most of them possessive “girlfriend fans.” Before The One She Loves Most began filming, his company promoted his supposed CP chemistry with Chu Xiyue, leading his fans to harass her online. 2

His public persona was that of a clean, wholesome, single “campus heartthrob”: an attentive junior idol with a gentle voice, disciplined physique, and studious habits. Privately, he maintained transactional relationships with wealthy patrons of multiple genders, including Wan Zhen, whose influence he viewed as a route to entertainment-industry resources. 3 8 12

He joined The One She Loves Most as Chu Xiyue’s trainee-couple partner. His affair with the married Wan Zhen was filmed by Wu Taotao and publicly exposed, destroying the persona on which his idol career depended. 3 14 17

Personality

He Jinyuan is intensely career-driven and treats public interactions as performances to be managed. He is skilled at maintaining a composed expression even when in pain or under suspicion, and he carefully cultivates an affectionate, reliable image for viewers and fans. 3 6 9

He is also vain and easily irritated when Chu Xiyue fails to respond to his attention. Her repeated physical and emotional distance causes brief cracks in his gentle façade, though he quickly restores his controlled public expression. 2 5 7

His ambition frequently overrides caution. Despite medical advice to rest, he repeatedly aggravates an existing injury to complete tasks, preserve screen time, and keep promises made on camera.
