Sister Hua

Biodata

Background / History

Sister Hua is both Shen Jin’s professional assistant and a close friend with whom she can discuss anything. She arranged an intended marriage partner for Shen Jin, whose mother was pressuring her to marry. After Shen Jin registered her marriage, Sister Hua informed her that Yun Xiaoran was not the man she had arranged 2.

Initially sharing Shen Jin’s suspicion that Yun Xiaoran was a stalker fan, Sister Hua promised to suppress any online exposure of the marriage. She subsequently informed Shen Jin about the thirty-day divorce cooling-off period and attended the meeting at which Yun Xiaoran signed their fake-marriage agreement 2 3 4.

• Approximately half a head shorter than Shen Jin; she struggles to support her when she is drunk and cannot manage a bridal carry after her ankle injury 18 24.

Personality

Sister Hua is protective of Shen Jin, sometimes to the point of immediately taking her side. She scans public venues for suspicious people, stays overnight to safeguard her intoxicated friend, and initially refuses to believe that Shen Jin bit Yun Xiaoran until Shen Jin admits it herself 12 19 24.

She also enjoys gossip and teasing. She secretly begins recording Shen Jin’s drunken behavior to show her later, jokes about her growing closeness with Yun Xiaoran, and imagines a sensational headline when he seeks another woman’s help with a song rather than asking his singer wife 19 24 34 36.

Her teasing gives way to direct advice when Shen Jin is distressed. She listens to her concerns, challenges her denials, and identifies changes in her habits that suggest the fake marriage has become emotionally important to her 33 46.
