Wang Yixue

Biodata

Background / History

Family and the Birthday Commission

Wang Yixue is Wang Tianhao’s daughter and Elder Wang’s granddaughter. She grew up excelling in academics, music, art, and Math Olympiads. Her younger cousin, Wang Ning, competed with her throughout childhood but never managed to surpass her 1 2 3.

For her grandfather’s birthday, Yixue commissioned Xu Fan to build an impressive, futuristic mecha model for three million yuan, paying a 1.5-million-yuan deposit. She intended to order a fifty-centimeter model but accidentally typed an extra zero, requesting a five-meter machine instead 1 3.

When Xu Fan initially failed to answer her calls, she feared she had been scammed. He eventually explained that the enormous, cloth-covered mecha outside the villa was her completed order. Its unveiling stunned the guests and overturned Wang Ning’s expectation that Yixue would embarrass herself 3.

Accidental First Flight

Yixue activated Crimson Sky No. 1 through Xu Fan’s phone app. The machine authenticated her as its pilot and lifted her into the cockpit. Still believing it was an elaborate model, she pressed the climb button in response to the crowd’s encouragement, inadvertently beginning a real launch 4 5.

The ascent carried her through the clouds and nearly into a Japanese airliner. Initially frightened and unable to stop accelerating, she regained her composure and discovered the beginner intelligent assistance system. A spoken “Hover” command finally brought the mecha to a halt in low Earth orbit 7 8.

While researchers established contact, Yixue worked through the onboard tutorial. Her railgun practice destroyed two Starlink satellites, and the targeting system identified more than five hundred additional targets. Elder Hua stopped further firing and directed her back to Zhonghai Military Research Base 9 10 11.

She returned safely but became “mecha-sick” after diving too quickly and nearly failing to brake. The elders then questioned her account of Xu Fan’s involvement, privately suspecting a secret department despite her repeated explanations 13 14.

Weapons Testing and Enlistment

After angrily denouncing Dr. Chen’s praise of foreign powers, Yixue carried him in the mecha’s hand to Alaska and left him in a remote valley. She deliberately flew slowly enough to keep him alive during the journey 16 17.

At the research base’s firing range, she demonstrated Crimson Sky No. 1’s weapons for Li Guozhong and other officers. She cut apart a scrapped T-54 tank with its particle blade and destroyed an entire hill with its shoulder-mounted railgun 19 20.

Li Guozhong sought her special enlistment because of her piloting talent and connection to Xu Fan. Yixue recognized his recruitment pitch and willingly agreed to serve. She officially joined the Southern Military Region that evening, receiving an assignment to visit Xu Fan and convey the military’s regards 21 22.

Finding Xu Fan

At Li Guozhong’s direction, Yixue transferred fifteen million yuan rather than the remaining 1.5 million owed for the mecha. When Xu Fan declined to meet, she resolved to find him herself 22.

She located him at Champs-Élysées No. 2, a shopping center owned by her father’s business. After discovering that Manager Tan and Liu Li had attempted to defraud him, she exposed their scheme and threatened police action and exclusion from her father’s business partners. Both were subsequently arrested, and she drove Xu Fan to the research base 23 24 25.

Lunar Flight

Yixue accompanied Xu Fan as a passenger during his test flight of Crimson Sky No. 1. His use of King mode disabled the machine’s restrictions and frightened her, while his precise control revealed how far his piloting exceeded hers 28 29.

They reached the Moon and landed near Lunar Sea Base. Yixue noticed that the landing had crushed the lunar landing monument; Xu Fan subsequently left a new footprint and message before departing. During the return flight, his attempts to teach her advanced maneuvers left her bewildered rather than confident 30 31.

Military Exercise and Recognition

During a military exercise, Li Guozhong ordered Yixue and Tong Yao to attack Red Force’s headquarters after scouts located it. Yixue led their supersonic approach. The pair destroyed the headquarters and captured Division Commander Kong, reversing Blue Force’s impending defeat 35 37 46.

At the commendation ceremony, each pilot received five medals, including the Special-Class Combat Hero Medal. Yixue remained onstage and declared herself unworthy of accepting the honors, arguing that Xu Fan deserved recognition for his inventions and ongoing work on the mecha production line. Luo Bing subsequently promised him substantial honors and support 46 47.

She later participated with Tong Yao in a demonstration that reached Mach 24. During the orbital weapons demonstration, Li Guozhong fired Crimson Sky No. 1’s railgun, and Yixue confirmed a direct hit on another Starlink satellite 47 49.

Appearance

• Complexion and eyes: Fair skin, clear cheeks, and bright, moist eyes repeatedly emphasized in descriptions 9 21 43.
• First-flight clothing: Denim hot pants and a black camisole, worn throughout her unexpected trip into space 9 13.
• Casual clothing: A long white spaghetti-strap dress when visiting Xu Fan’s home 43.
• Military clothing: Army special operations camouflage at the commendation ceremony 46.

Personality

Yixue is lively, affectionate, and emotionally expressive. She becomes tearful when she believes Xu Fan has cheated her or when the elders refuse to believe her explanation, but she generally dismisses Wang Ning’s competitiveness with a smile. Elder Wang considers her honest and knows that she does not habitually lie 2 3 4 14.

Her confidence rests partly on a childhood of excelling at nearly everything. Xu Fan’s extraordinary piloting therefore deals her an unfamiliar defeat: she cannot follow his demonstrations but is embarrassed to admit it, fearing he might consider her too slow to teach again 29 31.

She is willing to challenge authority when she believes someone is being treated unfairly. She exposes fraud within her family’s business, readily agrees to military service, and publicly argues that Xu Fan’s contributions deserve more recognition than her own 21 24 46.

Her attraction to Xu Fan also produces a possessive streak. She privately insists that Tong Yao should “get in line” behind her and objects when the elders propose assigning him female secretaries 40 42 43.

Abilities & Skills

Mecha Piloting

Yixue develops from an untrained civilian into a proficient operational pilot through Crimson Sky No. 1’s assistance system and practical experience 8 10 44.

• Assisted control: Uses voice commands, gaze selection, and the holographic helmet’s instructions to control the machine 8.
