Tang Xiaoxiao

Biodata

Background / History

Early Life and Unrequited Love

Tang Xiaoxiao experienced childhood hardship, lost her mother, and feared that her father would leave her. These private experiences were among the details Xiao Yu revealed during their first reading 1.

She moved to a new city when she began college and described herself as her university’s campus belle. During college, eleven men pursued her, and she received 132 love letters and fifty bouquets. She rejected them because she had liked another boy since high school, although he did not return her feelings 1.

Alongside her office job, she maintained a small gaming livestream with more than two thousand followers. Her devoted-fan Penguin chat group contained slightly more than eighty members, whom she regarded as friends 2.

First Reading and Fatal Accident

Tang Xiaoxiao entered Xiao Yu’s livestream after he cast the Fortune-Transfer Spell. Initially treating fortune-telling as a scam, she requested a love-life reading mainly to hear something comforting. His accurate account of her romantic history and private past unsettled her skepticism 1 2.

Xiao Yu interrupted the reading to warn that she would die if she left her office during an imminent traffic accident. She stayed inside and watched a Land Rover run a red light, collide with a bus, and cause a pileup. A flying glass shard struck the building’s tempered window rather than reaching her 2.

She thanked him with two Super Rockets worth a total of 4,000 yuan, despite having only slightly more than that in her account. She then brought all eighty-plus members of her fan group to his livestream. Their arrival helped establish his initial audience, although many came intending to expose him as a fraud 2 3.

Dile Bar and Her Changed Future

During a joint reading with Zhao Yan, Xiao Yu directed Tang Xiaoxiao to room 212 at Dile Bar. She left work to follow his instructions and found her longtime crush with an older woman. Through Tang Xiaoxiao’s camera, Zhao Yan recognized him as her own first love. Viewers called the police, and Tang Xiaoxiao hid in the women’s restroom until officers arrived 5 6.

Xiao Yu explained that her original future involved confessing to the man after working overtime. He would have deceived her into giving him money and sleeping with him, leaving her unwilling to trust another man. Discovering his conduct beforehand prevented that outcome. Xiao Yu predicted that her love life would remain difficult but eventually reach a result she would be happy with 6.

Leaving work also cost her job: an existing mistake, combined with her unexplained absence, prompted her boss to fire her. With her account empty, she worried that she could not afford another reading. Xiao Yu allowed her to use a free gift instead 6.

Career in Magic City

Xiao Yu recommended Tang Xiaoxiao for the newly vacant sales manager position at Zhao Yan’s Beauty Like Jade Cosmetics Company. Zhao Yan offered her a year to learn the work, food and accommodation, a base salary of 10,000 yuan, and commission. She also offered to collect Xiaoxiao from the train station in Magic City 12.

By her next documented update, Tang Xiaoxiao had started the job and received a month’s salary in advance. Satisfied with her changed circumstances, she declined another reading and instead asked to share a private meal with Xiao Yu; he agreed. Separately, Xiao Yu predicted that her help would enable Zhao Yan’s business to overcome an approaching bottleneck 20.

Blind Date with Zhao Jun

Tang Xiaoxiao had told her family that she had a boyfriend, despite the relationship being only a longstanding crush. After discovering the man’s behavior, she reported that they had broken up. Her family then insisted that she marry before the end of the year, pushing her into blind dating 49.

At Night Banquet, her date Zhao Jun called Xiao Yu a fraud. Tang Xiaoxiao ended the date, threw tea in Zhao Jun’s face, and defended Xiao Yu as the man who had saved her life and helped her find work. Xiao Yu, dining nearby with Su Yunyi and Yuan Yu, revealed himself and invited her to their table 47 48.

When Zhao Jun photographed the group and threatened to mock Xiao Yu online, Tang Xiaoxiao tried to seize his phone. Xiao Yu restrained her and exposed Zhao Jun’s embezzlement, gambling-related cheating, and mistresses, frightening him into leaving. Tang Xiaoxiao thanked Xiao Yu for preventing another potentially disastrous relationship, then joined the group for dinner and shopping 48 49.

Appearance

• Face: Rosy lips, pearly teeth, and an expressive face described as charming when smiling or pouting 1.
• Unfiltered appearance: Turning off her beauty filters and skin whitening reveals a rounder face and less pale skin; she remains attractive 1.
• Build: Slender 6.
• Expressions: Frequently blushes when flirting with Xiao Yu, but becomes visibly flushed with anger when others insult him 12 20 48.

Personality

Tang Xiaoxiao is playful, confident in her looks, and initially skeptical of supernatural claims. She jokes about becoming Xiao Yu’s first scam victim and reluctantly disables her camera filters, but refuses to remove her makeup. His accurate revelations and the accident change her attitude from teasing disbelief to gratitude and trust 1 2.

Her loyalty to Xiao Yu is outspoken and sometimes confrontational. She challenges accusations that his readings are scripted and rejects the idea that unfamiliar abilities must be fraudulent. During her blind date, she refuses to tolerate insults against him, even at the cost of the date itself 7 16 48.

Although she openly flirts with Xiao Yu, she also doubts her chances with him. After securing her new job, she expresses satisfaction with her life and fear of asking for too much. Later, she conceals her feelings because she believes the other women pursuing him are more exceptional than she is 20 49.
