Background / History

Zi Hanyan is the daughter of Zifeng Town, the underworld boss of Jinling City’s East District, and Shen Yu. Her privileged upbringing includes receiving the lavish restaurant Misty Rain Disperses from her father when she was seven. His business holdings are extensive enough that she can forget he keeps private cars outside his companies 15 31 135.

At Jinling University, she is recognized as one of its four campus beauties and is also known for her intelligence. During her first three years of university, she usually returns home by car immediately after class rather than spending time alone on campus. Her status makes even ordinary outings conspicuous and exposes anyone accompanying her to attention from her admirers 28 30 382.

Appearance

Zi Hanyan is tall and slender, with long black hair and an elegant bearing. Her dressed-up appearance at the Yang Family Martial Arts Academy particularly surprises Wangchen, who finds her more mature than her usual student presentation 41.

• Hair: Long black hair reaching her waist; sometimes worn loose over her shoulders with side-swept bangs 28 41.
• Face: An oval face, curved brows, long lashes, expressive eyes, a small nose, and cherry-like lips 28 41.
• Everyday clothing: A plain white dress when she approaches Wangchen on campus 28.
• Formal styling: Diamond earrings at the academy celebration; plum-blossom makeup and a long dress at the Antique Mansion; a qipao at Jinling Manor 41 127 150.
• Business-style outfit: A red business outfit, sunglasses, high heels, and an expensive handbag during her meeting with Wangchen in the university parking garage 331.

Personality

Hanyan is considerate and loyal, but capable of overlooking others’ needs when caught up in her own enthusiasm. After three hours of shopping, she notices Wangchen’s exhaustion and apologizes for making him carry her purchases. She also wears a mask to the infirmary specifically to prevent her admirers from directing their hostility toward him 30 31.

She firmly resists attempts to control her relationships. Wei Caijun’s wealth, repeated confessions, and prestigious background fail to win her affection. When he challenges her association with Wangchen, she insists that her choices are none of his business; she likewise defends Wangchen against Sun Zi’s class-based insults 28 79 150.

Around Wangchen, her usual composure gives way to shyness, jealousy, and playful exasperation. She understands many of his innuendos and responds with scolding or mock physical retaliation, yet worries seriously about his safety. His growing accomplishments also leave her insecure about whether she can remain close to him, prompting her to consider taking more initiative 261 264 375 382 535 537.
