Background / History

Jiaoyue was an affectionate, sweet-tongued child whom the Lu family regarded as a source of joy. Her disappearance left the family grieving and feeling guilty. Lu Yuan subsequently adopted Xiaoxiao to comfort Song Zhilan, who had suffered a mental breakdown after losing her biological daughter 2 434.

Jiaoyue spent years away from her family and was brought home from the countryside. After confirming her identity, her parents hurried to arrange a grand homecoming banquet, hoping to compensate for the affection she had missed. Lu Xunli returned to help organize the event and brought gifts for both sisters 8 11 92.

Appearance

Jiaoyue’s appearance is described as sweet and cute, contrasting with Xiaoxiao’s softer, more graceful looks 297.

• Eyes: Clear, dark, almond-shaped eyes; her eyes curve into crescents when she smiles 71 276.
• Complexion: Fair skin, accentuated by the cherry-blossom pink dress she tries on while shopping 6.
• Smile: Small canine teeth visible when she smiles 6.
• Family resemblance: Strikingly resembles her twin brother, Bochen, and also looks noticeably like Yubai and Shiyan 3 21 232.
• Early presentation: At her first mall encounter with Gu Sipei, she wears no makeup and inexpensive-looking clothes despite carrying luxury-brand shopping bags 8.

Personality

Jiaoyue is warm, considerate, and emotionally perceptive. She seeks affection openly, offers Xiaoxiao cake, and praises her without treating their different family backgrounds as grounds for rivalry. When Xie Qingli pointedly compares the sisters’ dresses, Jiaoyue’s enthusiastic praise of Xiaoxiao defuses the insinuation 3 21 180.

Her kindness coexists with considerable social inexperience. She misses Qin Zixuan’s flirtation, accepts a small gift of candy as evidence that he is a good person, and initially apologizes when Lan Ruolin accuses her of being a mole—even though she does not understand the accusation 49 54 56 80.

Her devotion to Xiaoxiao initially approaches dependence. She offers to place her fate in her sister’s hands, prompting Xiaoxiao to encourage her to discover her own wishes rather than live according to someone else’s decisions. Xiaoxiao later worries that Jiaoyue’s unquestioning reliance on her resembles the heroine’s dependence on Gu in the original story 137 284.

Jiaoyue eventually develops firmer judgment and boundaries. She confronts Gu over his treatment of Xiaoxiao, refuses to excuse wrongdoing as a business dispute, and maintains that he owes an apology even after learning about his painful childhood. By Chapter 392, she can explain both why she likes him and what behavior would make that affection cease 320 325 392.

Abilities & Skills

Hearing Xiaoxiao’s Thoughts

• Realizes at the family dinner that she can hear Xiaoxiao’s inner voice, immediately recognizing her older sister’s genuine affection 2.
• Hears Xiaoxiao while she is hiding nearby at the mall; knowing her sister is watching reassures her during her encounter with Gu 8.
• Recognizes Xiaoxiao despite her disguise and altered voice, but deliberately preserves the pretense 24.
• Uses Xiaoxiao’s changing intentions to adjust her throws during their rock-paper-scissors match 56.
• Receives an unintended cue for forgotten dialogue from Xiaoxiao’s thoughts during rehearsal 269.
• Initially believes she alone possesses this ability. A later family meeting establishes that other relatives can hear Xiaoxiao too; the family acknowledges that it cannot currently control the intrusion 35 252 253 254.
• Her ability does not make Xiaoxiao’s thoughts fully understandable: she hears unfamiliar names and information without knowing their wider context 284.

Music

• Studies music at university and is explicitly described as genuinely gifted in the field 354.
• Resumes regular classes after Desert Island Survival, fitting her drama scenes around her studies 354.
• Deeply admires retired pianist Lin Mo’s performances and teaching philosophy. Gu arranges a meeting after she mentions that admiration 392.
• Commits to developing her music, encouraged by Xiaoxiao to pursue an artistic future of her own 392.

Acting

• Joins Spirit Abyss Chronicle after Xiaoxiao recommends her to Wei Yun 237.
• Memorizes her script carefully, but nerves initially make her delivery and body language stiff. Jiang Ci advises her to perform naturally rather than make the audience conscious of her acting 269.
• Plays Xiao Lingyun before disguise; Xiaoxiao portrays the same character after disguise. Viewers praise Jiaoyue’s sweet, adorable portrayal when the drama premieres 404.

Handcrafts and Desserts

• Engraves silver cuff links herself and gives them to Gu as an apology gift 281.
• Enjoys making desserts and asks for recipes at Gu’s estate so she can prepare the dishes for her family rather than simply receive more from his chef 282.

Relationships

• Lu Xiaoxiao — Older adoptive sister and Jiaoyue’s favorite family member. Jiaoyue recognizes the affection beneath her harsh act, defends her from criticism, and intervenes when Lightning frightens her. Xiaoxiao supports her acting and music while repeatedly encouraging her independence 9 24 30 137 237 392.
• Gu Sipei — Romantic interest and eventual boyfriend. Their connection develops through accidental meetings, persistent WeChat conversations, and personal visits. Jiaoyue’s affection depends on his respecting her and the people important to her 7 31 281 392 420.
• Lu Yuan — Biological father. After her return, he helps arrange her homecoming banquet and provides her with a separate room rather than displacing Xiaoxiao 3 11.
• Song Zhilan — Biological mother, deeply affected by Jiaoyue’s disappearance. She is eager to make up for her daughter’s years away 2 11.
• Lu Xunli — Eldest brother. Helps organize her homecoming and brings a first-meeting gift 11.
• Lu Shiyan — Second brother and fellow performer. Protects her during the survival show and watches Qin’s attention warily. His initially undisclosed relationship with Jiaoyue causes mistaken romantic speculation 71 72 80 173.
• Lu Bochen — Twin brother. In the original story, he feels inferior beside her ease with people. Jiaoyue worries about upsetting him and later celebrates his increased liveliness 20 21 252.
• Lu Yubai — Younger brother, fiercely protective of her. His loyalty initially fuels hostility toward Xiaoxiao; he also searches frantically when Jiaoyue disappears from his birthday party and warns her about Gu’s reputation 9 31.
• Qin Zixuan — Survival-show teammate and unwanted suitor. His helpful behavior wins her trust, although he privately acknowledges an opportunistic motive. She later evades his confession by pretending to like Gu 49 54 150.
• Wei Yun — Director who welcomes her to the production and approves her casting following Xiaoxiao’s recommendation 232 237.
• Jiang Ci — Acting colleague who offers blunt but practical rehearsal guidance. Xiaoxiao reassures Jiaoyue that Jiang’s reserve is not hostility 269.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Original-Novel Fate

• Ji Yunhuai instigates one of Jiaoyue’s later escapes. These events are described as part of the original plot, not the altered timeline 122.

Homecoming and Sisterly Loyalty

• Hearing Xiaoxiao’s thoughts allows Jiaoyue to recognize affection that her sister’s outward behavior conceals 2.
• Their bond develops through shopping, exchanging WeChat details, and Jiaoyue protecting Xiaoxiao from Yubai’s dog prank 6 9.

*Desert Island Survival*

• Draws a place in the Hero Faction, disappointing her wish to share a team with both siblings 53.
• Loses the clue-awarding rock-paper-scissors match to Xiaoxiao, then faces Lan Ruolin’s accusation that her laughter reveals her as a mole 56.
• Receives increasingly obvious attention from Qin without recognizing its romantic meaning. Her concern remains centered on her siblings, including her relief that Xiaoxiao can sleep comfortably in the cave 72 80.
• Her biological relationship with Shiyan later becomes public, overturning viewers’ romantic interpretations of their closeness 173.

Acting and Personal Ambition

• Secures a role in Spirit Abyss Chronicle, prepares for costume photographs, and begins learning through rehearsals and Jiang Ci’s feedback 237 266 269.
• Continues her music education alongside filming rather than abandoning university for entertainment work 354.
• Becomes more explicit about her musical ambitions after Gu arranges the opportunity to meet Lin Mo 392.
• Earns viewer praise when Spirit Abyss Chronicle becomes a hit and continues accompanying Xiaoxiao around their shared university 404.

• Uses Gu’s cooperation to escape Qin’s confession and promises to accompany him to a business reception in return 150 151.
• After missing an earlier commitment, visits Gu with handmade cuff links. His acceptance of the gift, thoughtful desserts, and wildlife-protection efforts strengthen her favorable impression of him 281 282 283.
• Learns through Xiaoxiao’s thoughts that Gu forcibly brought her sister to his home. Jiaoyue visits him directly, challenges his excuses, and warns that further mistreatment will make her hate him 319 320.
• Hearing about Gu’s childhood softens her anger but does not change her demand for apology and amends 325.
• Acknowledges that she likes his competence and decisiveness because they make her feel safe, while insisting that respect is a condition of continuing to like him 392.
• Officially becomes his girlfriend by Chapter 420, bringing the original lead couple together in a gentler, more respectful timeline 420.

What-If Side Story

• In the alternate scenario, Jiaoyue’s parents and brothers return to a time before her disappearance. They resolve to keep her safe and bring Xiaoxiao home earlier without treating the adopted girl as a substitute 434.
