Background / History
Family history
Liao Xuliang’s mother, Ms. Zhang, was separated from her older brother after their father died and their mother remarried. Her brother remained with their grandmother and was adopted by an abusive uncle and aunt. After years of exploitation, he killed the couple and fled to Ms. Zhang, who secretly arranged shelter for him 41.
Her husband, Liao Changchong, mistook these secret meetings for an affair. When he sent someone to pay the supposed lover to leave, Ms. Zhang rushed to find her brother and died in a car accident. Her brother, believing he had been discovered, escaped through a window and was killed by a truck while fleeing. Their deaths left Changchong’s suspicions uncorrected 41.
Changchong subsequently insulted Xuliang’s mother during arguments, accusing her of abandoning her husband and child for a lover and telling Xuliang that he resembled her. Xuliang deliberately became more rebellious to spite him, encouraged by his disreputable friends 41.
Affair and forced participation
Before joining the show, Xuliang resumed a sexual relationship with a former girlfriend who had become his father’s latest mistress. They met repeatedly behind Changchong’s back, including in his bedroom and office. After catching them, Changchong slapped Xuliang, froze his credit cards, and sent him onto the family-sponsored dating show 5.
Xuliang concealed this punishment during his introduction, claiming instead that family pressure had brought him there to find a wife 5.
Appearance
- Viewers describe him as handsome and enthusiastically pair him with Xue Ruyin 2.
- He has long, narrow eyes; when Su Tangtang discusses his mother, his narrowed gaze becomes visibly sinister and frightening 40.
- His introduction carries the assured manner of someone accustomed to being in charge 5.
Personality
Xuliang cultivates an attentive, flirtatious image. He carefully bandages Xue Ruyin’s hand and encourages her romantic advances, but privately values her willingness to seek excitement and keep him entertained during filming. He is accustomed to women attending to him and initially accepts her breakfast offering without thanks 2 13 23.
He is vain about his sexual reputation and reluctant to perform household work. Su Tangtang’s doubts about his stamina push him into the kitchen despite his unwillingness to help. He also interprets her joking demand for a million yuan as a possible opportunity to pay for sex, an interest he retains later 11 19.
His hostility toward his father is rooted partly in Changchong’s repeated accusations against his mother. Learning that those accusations were false produces a cold, scornful smile and an abrupt departure rather than an open discussion 41.
Abilities & Skills
Hearing Su Tangtang’s Thoughts
Like the other entertainment-industry insiders around her, Xuliang can hear Su Tangtang’s unspoken thoughts 2 48.
- Her internal gossip exposes his affairs, motives, and family history directly to him and the surrounding guests 5 40 41.
- He cannot tell her that her thoughts are audible; attempts to address the phenomenon leave the words stuck in his throat 5.
- He likewise fails to ask immediately whether his mother’s supposed lover was actually his uncle and must wait for her narration to continue 40.
Business Influence
- Runs an entertainment company and has enough standing that the cast initially avoids reacting openly to his scandal 5 39.
- Offers Xue Ruyin the female lead in a teen-angst film on the condition that she seduce his father 40.
Other Skills
- Basic wound care: Disinfects and bandages Xue Ruyin’s cut hand 2.
- Motor racing: States that he has competed in a professional car race 40.
