Qiao Xin

Biodata

Background

Qiao Xin works in modeling rather than primarily in the entertainment industry. Two years before the dating show, she collaborated with Tu Lan and appeared in a photograph with Wen Zhiyan that reached the trending topics. Jiang Lan remembers that photograph when he sees them together at the villa 5.

Her friendship with Wen Zhiyan extends beyond their public professional connection. She knows that he intends to return to pursue someone, although she does not initially know that person is Jiang Lan. During their rooftop conversation, she claims to have introduced Wen Zhiyan to the jewelry designer Raynien; the explanation conceals another subject that Wen Zhiyan abruptly prevents her from discussing 45.

Appearance

• Long hair: She pins it up while preparing breakfast 13.
• Professional figure maintenance: Maintaining her physique occupies much of her attention as a model. Jiang Lan’s invented claim that she has developed a double chin makes her stop eating a cookie and later worry about being weighed 13 18 36.
• Accurate published measurements: She considers herself consistently honest about her height and weight because of her profession. The show’s measurements place her close to her listed figures 36.

Personality

Qiao Xin is outspoken, competitive, and particularly unwilling to lose to other alphas. She turns breakfast preparation into a contest with Pei Du and opens a large bottle of beer after seeing Jiang Lan drink directly from his own bottle, concerned about appearing insufficiently alpha. Her rivalry with Pei Du repeatedly escalates ordinary activities into arguments and challenges 12 13 20.

Her manner changes noticeably around omegas. While she speaks sharply to alphas, she becomes more cautious when Yu Nan questions her cooking. When he worries that she will be disappointed to draw him as a date, she reassures him with playful confidence rather than allowing him to feel rejected 13 15.

She is observant and socially quick-witted. She deliberately tests Jiang Lan’s reaction by praising Wen Zhiyan and Lin Ziyou as a potential couple, then later identifies Wen Zhiyan’s feelings through his cooking, romantic history, and Jiang Lan’s necklace. When warned away from a private subject, she immediately provides a plausible explanation without disrupting the conversation 18 45.

Her competitiveness has limits: she does not pressure Pei Du to bungee jump after learning that he fears heights, recognizing the seriousness of the risk 36.

Abilities & Skills

Modeling

Qiao Xin has an established modeling career, including a collaboration with Tu Lan 5.

• Closely monitors her physique and published measurements 13 36.

English

Cooking

Her confidence exceeds her demonstrated cooking ability. With little time to study cooking, she relies on a remembered pumpkin-soup recipe during her competition with Pei Du 13.

• Uses too little water and too much soy sauce, producing an unusually thick, dark mixture.
• Immediately adds milk after Jiang Lan suggests it might improve the color.
• Defends the soup as nutritious and healthy while criticizing Pei Du’s burnt sandwiches 13.

Relationships

• Wen Zhiyan — Longtime friend and former professional collaborator. Their familiarity allows her to joke freely with him, though she initially regards his attractiveness and status as a threat to her dating prospects. She protects an undisclosed matter when he warns her not to reveal it, then worries that he may retaliate for her indiscretion 5 34 45 46.
• Yu Nan — Date partner and developing romantic interest. She reassures him during the random pairing, praises his baking afterward, and eagerly anticipates holding him during their tandem bungee jump. By the group-date preparations, the narration describes something beginning to develop between them 15 18 34 37.
• Pei Du — Fellow guest, initial roommate, and frequent rival. They compete over cooking, exchange insults, and repeatedly try to outdo each other. Despite their friction, they cooperate when concerned that Jiang Lan and Wen Zhiyan may be fighting 6 12 13 40.
• Jiang Lan — Fellow guest and frequent sparring partner. Their exchanges range from criticism of her soup to arguments during the drinking game. She eventually recognizes him as the person Wen Zhiyan has been waiting to pursue and discusses their relationship without treating the alpha–alpha pairing as objectionable 13 18 22 45.
• Xu Can — Recipient of Qiao Xin’s first-impression vote. Qiao Xin openly reveals her choice when the guests investigate the voting results 11.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Arrival and First Impressions

Dates and Group Activities

• Partners with Yu Nan for the random date. They return with baked treats, which she shares while praising his baking ability 15 18.

• Welcomes the cliff-bungee destination and invites Yu Nan to jump with her. They become the first pair to complete the jump 34 37.

Bathroom Misunderstanding

• Raises concern when Jiang Lan and Wen Zhiyan remain upstairs instead of returning for dinner, then asks Pei Du to check on them 40.
• Leads the others upstairs when Pei Du also fails to return. Misleading remarks fuel her curiosity about what the three men were doing 40 41.
• Locks herself and Pei Du in Room Five after Jiang Lan claims they were comparing sizes. At dinner, she reveals that Pei Du refused to undress 41 42.

Rooftop Disclosure

• Nearly exposes a secret, then covers her mistake with the explanation about introducing Wen Zhiyan to Raynien 45.

• Witnesses Wen Zhiyan directly tell Jiang Lan that he only likes him. Her teasing gives way to an apologetic gesture when Wen Zhiyan casts her a warning glance before leaving 46.
