Background / History

Origin and Log-in

Huangfu Miaomiao comes from a society where people are born from Breeding Pods rather than raised in families. She had no parents or conventional family ties before logging in 74.

Logging in gave her control of a human body but not its memories. She learned that the body's original owner had cancer and had undergone surgery; when Miaomiao first occupied it, its hair had been shaved away 37. She spent her early time as a Player constantly afraid of capture, failed missions, and other Players, eventually seeking protection through cooperation with Feng Ling 17.

Partnership with Feng Ling

Miaomiao first escaped the villa district with Feng Ling after the villa fire. Nervous that Feng Ling might kill or torture her, she nonetheless explained card compatibility, Corruption Value, the Labyrinth, and the Player Forum 9. She then stayed awake through the night compiling forum material on cards and Bosses to earn Feng Ling's trust 14.

Their relationship began as an unequal and frightening alliance. Feng Ling frequently tested Miaomiao's loyalty, while Miaomiao depended on her for safety and struggled with the danger posed by the Hidden Boss's temperament 13 15. Over time, Feng Ling supplied her with clothing, a smartwatch, travel equipment, and a place to rest, while Miaomiao became a regular companion on Labyrinth expeditions 17 99.

During the Queen Mother of the West Labyrinth operation, Miaomiao assisted Pei Xianjue in burning the fruit tree and later defended Feng Ling's shelter with Baozi. She was nearly absorbed by the Meat Mountain, suffering catastrophic damage to both legs before Feng Ling and Ye Zheng extracted her 115 125 232.

Mogu Infiltration and the Underworld Labyrinth

Feng Ling later assigned Miaomiao to infiltrate the Star Society, identify Abyss Administrators and their Labyrinths, and collect intelligence on Paradise's Players 442. She travelled to Mogu Country, formed a temporary partnership with Xiao Shu, and used her considerable Points to fund their travel and quests 428 444.

While investigating the Star Society's Clinic, Miaomiao was discovered by the Doctor and forced into becoming her assistant. Rather than immediately fleeing, she chose to remain in the Clinic and gather more information 459 460. The Doctor subsequently brought her into the Underworld Labyrinth, whose Seven Gates strip Cards from a visitor's deck 465.

The White Cat forced Miaomiao to sign a Demon Contract requiring her to kill humans or die. Pursued by Sirius' Hounds, she passed through multiple Gates, losing cards and eventually her sight at the Third Gate 468 469. Trapped near Meteor, she entered a five-day identity-swap contract with her and sent Feng Ling a detailed warning through her smartwatch before disappearing 489 502.

Return to the Quarantine Zone

After surviving further captivity and body-swapping, Miaomiao washed ashore tied to a sea monster and was rescued by Pei Xianjue. She was severely emaciated and immediately asked to contact Feng Ling 588 589. Feng Ling arranged for her identity and location to be concealed while she recovered under Pei Xianjue's care 591 592.

While inhabiting Meteor's body, Miaomiao joined Pei Xianjue's operation against the fog-covered Labyrinth in Mogu. Her intelligence and support abilities helped identify threats, interpret the Twelve Prophets' clues, distribute Light-element buffs, and reduce the team's Weakness values 651 668 672.

Later, she reunited with Feng Ling through Meteor's Teleportation Array 685 686. She subsequently left the Quarantine Zone to meet Meteor again; the two used Thousand-Faced God's skill to exchange bodies, after which Miaomiao escorted Meteor toward Mogu Country's border 738 740.

Appearance

Before her body exchanges, Miaomiao is described as a small, fair, delicate girl with an underdeveloped frame. A surgical scar is visible on her body, and she habitually conceals her face behind a Skull Mask 9 14 37.

• Her Skull Mask fixation is influenced by her cards 14.
• Her logged-in body was initially hairless due to the original owner's cancer treatment 37.
• While trapped in Meteor's adult body, prolonged hardship left her gaunt enough that Pei Xianjue initially failed to recognize her 588 591.
• Her Ghost Shadow form can leave only her upper body human when she needs to speak 108.

Personality

Miaomiao is timid, anxious, and highly sensitive to danger. Early in her partnership with Feng Ling, she constantly worries that a mistake will get her killed and relies on her ability to sense malice to judge when she should run 13 21. She cries easily under extreme fear or pain, but repeatedly continues moving when escape or survival demands it 232 468.

Despite her fearfulness, Miaomiao is resourceful and stubborn. She gathers intelligence under hostile conditions, prepares supplies in advance, uses human weapons creatively, and chooses to continue investigating even when Li Qing advises her to escape 444 460 529. She is also generous with Points, readily paying Xiao Shu's fare and medical expenses despite needing to maintain her cover 428 444.

Her attachment to Feng Ling is a defining trait. Miaomiao becomes jealous when Feng Ling appears closer to Li Qing, worries intensely about Feng Ling's safety, and views Feng Ling's protection and companionship as the foundation of the peaceful life she wants 115 487 591. Her experiences with Meteor force her to question that loyalty, though she continues to defend Feng Ling even after learning how complicated their opposing identities may become 487 740.

Abilities & Skills

Demon

Miaomiao's original main card is Demon, a high-tier card whose innate ability is forming a Demon Contract with any intelligent lifeform 9.

• Possesses night vision 9.
• Can sense malicious intent, allowing her to detect hostile presences before others notice them 9 21.
• Initially lacked offensive secondary-card abilities because she had not digested any additional cards 9.
• Demon Cards may possess some resistance to mental-type attacks, according to Pei Xianjue's assessment 117.

Ghost Shadow Form

Ghost Shadow is Miaomiao's primary mobility and infiltration ability. She liquefies into a patch of black shadow that can slip through narrow spaces and adapt to difficult terrain 158.

• Can extend black threads to track a target and pursue it from below ground level 201.
• Cannot speak while fully transformed; she must retain a human head or upper body to use vocal organs 108.
• Performs poorly in cold environments, where the liquefied form can freeze 158.
• Is not waterproof, and Miaomiao cannot swim 101.
• The form became a liability against the Meat Mountain, which rapidly absorbed her liquefied legs 231.

All-Seeing Eye

While in Meteor's body, Miaomiao gains access to the All-Seeing Eye, a support-oriented card with observation and memory-reading functions 499 603.

• Identifies nearby creatures' cards within approximately two meters 603.
• Reads deeply impressed memory fragments through physical contact 603 653.
• Detects Corrupted creatures and displays conditions such as a target's Weakness value 651.
• Reading a simple creature's memories can produce nausea and limited useful information 653.
• Using the card to view distant locations can cause eye pain afterward 490.

After the body swaps, Miaomiao is documented using or having access to several cards associated with Meteor's deck. These cards are primarily supportive rather than offensive 499.

Relationships

• Feng Ling — Protector, partner, and the person Miaomiao is most emotionally attached to. Their alliance begins in fear and mistrust but develops into profound dependence and loyalty 9 99 591.
• Li Qing — Fellow operative and adviser. Miaomiao initially resents his status as an Administrator and Feng Ling's trust in him, but later works with him on reconnaissance and survival 115 249 442.
• Pei Xianjue — Teammate and caretaker. Pei rescues Miaomiao after her escape from Mogu, hides her in the Quarantine Zone, and later accompanies her into the fog Labyrinth 588 651.
• Xiao Shu — Temporary teammate in Mogu. Miaomiao pays his travel fare, helps with his injuries, and entrusts him with delivering her smartwatch to Feng Ling 428 502.
• Meteor — Fellow captive, uneasy ally, and body-swap counterpart. Their relationship shifts from manipulation and distrust to mutual sympathy and reluctant respect 487 489 740.

• Baozi — Expedition companion who supports Miaomiao emotionally and helps defend Feng Ling while she recovers 125.

Trivia

• Miaomiao accumulated nearly 100,000 Points before travelling to Mogu, earning her the description of a “Rich Woman” among Players 428.
• She prefers saving Points even when she can afford to spend them, arguing with Li Qing over the cost of recovery items 249.
• She does not want to grow up because adulthood would require paying a “gene tax,” though the system prevents her from explaining it further 245.
• She became attached to the original tablet Feng Ling gave her and refused a replacement when Li Qing began using it 298.
