Background / History

Tong Chuhe comes from one of City A’s prominent established families. Her father works in real estate, while her mother’s influence has helped the Tong family expand into the entertainment industry. Before entering Pluto Academy, Chuhe earned a reputation for excellent grades, popularity, and dance talent, winning gold at the International Youth Ballet Competition 6 20.

In the original novel remembered by Jiang Nian, Chuhe was the only classmate willing to sit beside the ostracized Jiang Nian. Fu Zhenzhen’s involvement eventually pushed her toward villainy and wrongdoing alongside Jiang. Her predicted tragedy also involved Tan Zhuishi: she would discover his longstanding love only after he died saving his younger brother, then be sent to prison through Fu Zhenzhen’s actions while attempting to avenge him. These are foretold outcomes, not events shown occurring in the current storyline 4 6.

Appearance

• Complexion and features: Exceptionally fair, almost translucent skin, delicate beauty, and eyes that curve when she smiles. Jiang Nian regards her as a “campus goddess” 5.
• Voice: Clear and melodious, drawing attention during her classroom introduction 6.
• Competition style: Wears a dark, casual outfit for her “Señorita” routine, presenting an effortlessly cool look with a hint of sexiness 42.
• Cheerleading uniform: A white-trimmed top, burgundy plaid miniskirt, calf-length socks, light-colored sneakers, and a red wrist ribbon, accompanied by red-and-white pom-poms 46.

Personality

Chuhe is poised and outwardly gentle, accepting classmates’ praise without boasting and initially ignoring Fu Zhenzhen’s mocking looks. That composure does not make her passive: after hearing Jiang Nian’s warning about Fu, she deliberately sits beside her to investigate rather than accepting the prediction at face value 5 6.

Her affection for Jiang Nian is warm and playful. She admires Jiang’s smile and bright eyes, reassures her when rumors spread, and jokingly questions how many “sweet little sisters” Jiang has acquired. She also becomes increasingly direct about confronting harm, choosing taekwondo because recent revelations have convinced her that force can be preferable to convoluted solutions 17 18 22 33.

Chuhe takes dance seriously and refuses to concede defeat simply because a story predicts it. She describes competition as an opportunity to learn, remains confident before performing, and finishes her tryout despite a bleeding foot. Her restraint has limits: after Fu sabotages her, she slaps Fu and privately considers herself “far too kind” for doing so only once 39 40 42 43 45.
