Shang Ni'en

Biodata

Background / History

Shang Ni'en belongs to the Shang Family, a well-known jadeite supplier in F City. Her mother died when she was three, leaving her father to raise her while managing a large company. He deliberately made time to fulfill both parental roles, and she grew up feeling deeply loved rather than deprived 27 28.

She chose to attend a domestic university instead of studying abroad, a decision her father welcomed because it allowed them to spend more time together. A former household employee's daughter attended the same university and major; the Shang Family had funded that girl's schooling and living expenses from childhood 65.

Appearance

• Petite stature: Qu Nanzhu estimates her height at approximately 1.5 meters, contrasting with her username, “Aura 1.8 Meters Tall” 27.
• Fashion: Her wardrobe includes a luxurious princess dress and a limited-edition tracksuit. Before meeting Qu Nanzhu, she chooses the simpler tracksuit because she worries about overwhelming him with her enthusiasm 27.
• Distinctive accessories: She arrives at Qu Nanzhu's housewarming with a pink suitcase and heart-shaped sunglasses shaded from black to pink 69.
• Formal dress: For Qu Nanzhu and Longbao's birthday banquet, she wears a latest-season haute couture gown, elaborate makeup, and carefully styled hair 130.

Personality

Shang Ni'en is exuberant, outspoken, and intensely enthusiastic about Qu Nanzhu. Their first conversation is dominated by her excited messages and arrangements for his visit. Her support is also public: when livestream viewers accuse him of exploiting clients, she declares that he can ask her directly if he needs money 27 36.

Her confidence comes with a sharp temper and little restraint among friends. Although she initially boasts that she has an excellent mindset, malicious university rumors leave her venting at length, swearing, and reminding herself to be ladylike. She then abruptly invites Qu Nanzhu to play games rather than waiting for reassurance 27 65.

She is affectionate toward her father and values his safety. On receiving a talisman capable of saving one life, her immediate plan is to give it to him 28.

Equipment / Items

• Protection talisman: Given to her by Qu Nanzhu after the jadeite purchase. It can save its bearer’s life once; she carefully stores it and intends to pass it to her father 28.

Relationships

• Qu Nanzhu — Initially her favorite streamer, later a personal friend and gaming companion. She is his second-highest livestream donor at her introduction and privately calls him “Qu Bao.” She helps him obtain jadeite and gives him rough stones as a housewarming present 27 28 65 69.
• Her father — Raised her after her mother's death while running the family business. His attention leaves her with a strong sense of being loved, and she prioritizes him when deciding who should receive her protection talisman 28.
• Huo Sili — Their existing connection enables her introduction to Qu Nanzhu. She repeatedly calls him an “old geezer” in private messages but initially does not dare do so in person. At the housewarming, his relaxed behavior helps overturn her impression of him 27 69.
• Cheng Xuanyu — A fellow member of Qu Nanzhu's social circle with whom she frequently bickers. His criticism of her birthday-banquet outfit nearly provokes a physical confrontation 121 129 130.
• Qin Siyi and Su Youqin — Friends within Qu Nanzhu's circle who join her at gatherings. She and Qin Siyi point out the jealous attention directed at Qu Nanzhu during Huo Sili's birthday banquet 69 120 121.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Jadeite Purchase

• Huo Sili introduces Shang Ni'en when Qu Nanzhu urgently needs a large rough jadeite stone within a seven-million-yuan budget. She arranges his visit to the Shang Family facility, though oversleeping makes her late for the airport pickup 27.
• During the drive, she pays 3,000 yuan for a divination about impending trouble. Qu Nanzhu predicts an unpleasant but minor incident and advises her to maintain a good mindset 27.
• Qu Nanzhu purchases a stone for 6.8 million yuan. When the first cut exposes imperial green jadeite, she jokingly offers him 200 million yuan for it; he declines because he needs material large enough to carve a human infant 27.
• She instructs the workers to follow his unusual cutting requirements without questioning them. Afterward, she correctly suspects that he knew something about the stone's contents, and he explains that he selected it by sensing its Spiritual Qi 27 28.
• Although dismayed to learn that he chose the stone with the most Spiritual Qi, she does not accuse him of wrongdoing. He gives her a single-use, life-saving protection talisman 28.
