Shen Xiche

Biodata

Background / History

Shen Xiche is Shen Ting’an and Zhao Huizhen’s second son. He pursued an entertainment career despite his father’s wish that he eventually help run the family company. His work often kept him away from home; on visits, he used to bring gifts for Shen Anya, whom the family regarded as the sister closest to him 29 52.

When Xiche returned home intending to marry someone he called “Yingying,” he heard his newly reunited sister Shen Luoluo’s unspoken thoughts. They prompted him to question the relationship, and documents obtained by Shen Jingyao confirmed that his prospective spouse had deceived him about his identity. Xiche ended the relationship and cut off contact 29 31 52.

Xiche later questioned why he had once been so devoted to Anya. He came to believe her “Koi Luck” had influenced his actions. After she damaged instruments intended for Luoluo’s New Year’s Gala performance, he reported her to the police and made clear that he would stand by Luoluo 125 156 192 193 206.

Xiche’s looks attract attention from fans, though his habit of showing them off draws teasing from his siblings 42 43.

• Pale blue hair at one point, later dyed back to black 42 179.

Personality

Xiche is openly vain and enjoys provoking Shen Jiayan, but he is also attentive to his siblings. He buys Luoluo gifts, checks on her safety, and seeks her encouragement when he is nervous 43 153 176 178 187. He can be reluctant to admit when something hurts him: after worrying that Luoluo might not trust him, he asks Jingyao for advice but tries to preserve his confident image when she finds out 205.
