Xue Ruyin

Biodata

Background / History

Xue Ruyin enters the dating show as an established romance-drama actress. During her introduction, she names three productions in which she played the female lead and says she hopes to find lasting love through the program 6.

Her career has frequently involved couple marketing with male co-stars. According to Qiao Yufan, these associations are difficult to shake: her shippers attack actors who become close to other women and react even more harshly when those actors issue clarifications. He therefore avoids approaching her as a potential on-screen partner 11.

Known Acting Credits

• She has also worked with veteran actor Zhong Jianda, a credit she mentions during the show's “Never Have I Ever” game 40.
• Her company prepares a song for her, which she asks Qi Zhaoyi to review; no release or performance is documented 18.

Appearance

• Long hair: She repeatedly brushes or sweeps it back while addressing others 7 29.
• Sweet, innocent styling: One morning, she wears a dress with a side braid, prompting fans to compare her to an innocent romance heroine 22.
• Shy expressions: Her lowered gaze and flushed face during Liao Xuliang's attention immediately attract viewers' praise 2.
• Cosmetic work: Su Tangtang's thoughts claim that she underwent cosmetic procedures in Korea on both her face and body while promoting herself as a natural beauty. Xue's subsequent private reaction acknowledges having had work done, but the exact procedures are not specified 2 4.

Personality

Xue carefully maintains a gentle, approachable public persona. She smiles through uncomfortable exchanges, offers apparently considerate suggestions, and restores her composure quickly when the cameras turn toward her. The narration explicitly credits her friendliness on camera as a reason for her popularity 6 11.

Her private reactions are more resentful and competitive. She is angered when Su Tangtang receives the first introduction slot promised to her, becomes jealous when Su overtakes her in the popularity poll, and nevertheless offers a calm congratulations. When other guests distance themselves after learning about her encounter with Liao Xuliang, she wonders whether they envy how quickly the pair became involved 6 13 29.

Abilities & Skills

Hearing Su Tangtang's Thoughts

• Xue can hear Su's internal commentary despite Su not speaking aloud. She first reacts to it during their initial meeting 2.
• When she tries to ask whether Su knows her thoughts are audible, the words become stuck in her throat; she cannot even say Su's name during the attempt 3.
• She sometimes interrupts Su with conversation before further private information can be revealed, notably when Su begins investigating her cosmetic surgery 2.
• She later explains the phenomenon to Xu Guanghao through WeChat messages 41.

Relationships

• Liao Xuliang — Her principal romantic and sexual partner on the show. Their affectionate interactions attract enthusiastic shippers, while Su's thoughts expose their private encounters to the other guests 2 9 28 30.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Arrival and Conflict with Su Tangtang

• Xue first appears having a hand injury disinfected and bandaged by Liao Xuliang. Their tenderness immediately encourages viewers to ship them 2.

• Su declines to room with her. Xue privately resents the refusal and the insinuations about her appearance 4.

Involvement with Liao Xuliang

• Xue proposes buying groceries and cooking together, then stays at the villa when Liao declines to join the shopping trip 7 8.
• Su's gossip book reveals that Xue initiates a sexual encounter with him in a basement storage room. The production crew keeps people and cameras away from the stairs afterward 9 10.
• On returning to the kitchen, Xue realizes the others know what happened. Concern about the pair handling vegetables without washing leads her to order replacements; she then gives the original vegetables to the crew rather than discard them 11 12 13.
• She continues displaying affection toward Liao, cooking sweet-and-sour ribs for him and sharing an apple with him while the others gather around Su's room for gossip 16 18.
• She collects two letters during the first evening's letter exchange and chooses to read them later. Their senders are not identified in the provided passages 19.
• Su subsequently reveals encounters in a changing room during the horseback-riding outing and on the villa's rooftop 28 30.

Popularity Rivalry

• Su's criticism of Xue's breakfast etiquette divides viewers, with Xue's fans accusing Su of selfishness and others defending her right to eat the food she cooked 22 23.
• Xue initially leads the female guests in Weibo engagement, but Xiao Ziyao's appeal to his fans allows Su to overtake her within an hour. Xue conceals her jealousy and congratulates Su 29.
• She later gives Su a hostile look after Chen Sinian offers to recommend Su for an acting role 32.

Scheme Involving Liao's Father

• After Liao introduces Xue to his friends, Su discovers that he has offered Xue the female lead in a teen-angst film on the condition that she seduce his father 39 40.
• The plan is meant to persuade Liao Changchong to let his son leave the show and restore access to his frozen bank cards. Xue is supposed to claim she wanted the father all along and approached Liao only to reach him; Su's book confirms that she agreed 40.
• Su's subsequent revelations correct Liao's belief that his mother had been unfaithful. He leaves abruptly without answering Xue's call, and she directs an accusatory glance at Su 41.
• With Xu Guanghao's arrival, Xue helps him understand Su's thought-hearing phenomenon. She then withdraws from their conversation after learning that his interest lies in An Ruzhi rather than herself 41 43.
