Ragdoll Cat

Biodata

Background / History

Bu Yuner was born into a prominent family. Her parents died when she was young, leaving her to inherit their estate at an early age. She has no siblings, and part of the inheritance belongs to her grandmother 26.

Three years before her fortune-telling session, her grandmother took a much younger man, Lin Qiang, as her husband or companion. Bu Yuner opposed the relationship, causing a lasting rift between them. By the time she consulted Lin Fan, her grandmother was seventy-three 27.

Appearance

• Complexion: Fair skin 26.
• Eyebrows: Delicate, willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows 26.
• Eyes and expression: Her eyes are not particularly large, but her smiles and subtle expressions have a distinctive charm 26.
• Jewelry: Wears a jade necklace that a viewer identifies as imperial green jade worth at least one million 26.

Personality

Bu Yuner is an enthusiastic and outspoken admirer of Lin Fan. By her first video call, she has attended every one of his livestreams. She repeatedly challenges accusations that his readings are scripted, objects to his suspension, and defends his judgment when viewers criticize him for refusing to help certain clients. Her admiration also becomes openly flirtatious: she praises his appearance while he draws talismans and later declares that she has fallen for him 18 26 31 32 36 45.

Her concern for others can translate into practical action. She helps Duan Dahai locate his missing son and accompanies him to seek verification. During the flood emergency, she urges viewers and police to act on Lin Fan’s warning 17 18 40.

She is also blunt and unforgiving toward people she considers harmful. She argues against helping Han Lei after learning about his harassment of streamers and condemns Bai Xiaobai’s refusal to accept responsibility for a hit-and-run. When confronting Lin Qiang, however, she restrains her anger long enough to let her grandmother hear his confession 27 30 31 46.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Helping Duan Dahai Find His Son

During Duan Dahai’s reading, Ragdoll Cat reacts with horror to the revelation that his own brother abducted his son. She then reports finding Lü Yun at the address Lin Fan supplied, noting that his age and his mother’s name match the reading. She also warns that Lü Yun has cancer, is blind in both eyes, and can barely walk 16 17.

In the following livestream, she announces that she has met Duan Dahai and that they are heading to a hospital for a paternity test. She uses their firsthand involvement to rebut claims that Lin Fan’s readings are staged 18.

Exposing Lin Qiang

After waiting four days for a chance at a reading, Ragdoll Cat wins one of three places in Lin Fan’s lucky-bag draw. Her call follows Tong Lin’s, and Lin Fan identifies her real name, birth year, inheritance, and family discord before she explains her problem 25 26.

She asks whether her grandmother’s husband is cheating. When viewers accuse her of opposing an elderly woman’s need for companionship, she shows a current photograph of the much younger man, prompting some critics to apologize 27.

Following Lin Fan’s instructions, she calls her grandmother and Lin Qiang on separate phones. Lin Fan exposes Lin Qiang’s pursuit of wealthy women and his affairs. Believing the grandmother will never accept accusations against him, Lin Qiang openly admits that he expects to receive her wealth after she dies 27.

Bu Yuner reveals that her grandmother has heard everything. Her grandmother apologizes, while Lin Qiang realizes that his three-year scheme has collapsed. Lin Fan subsequently regards the intervention as a change to Bu Yuner’s destiny, preventing further family estrangement and the possible loss of her grandmother’s fortune 27 28.
