Yu Wei

Biodata

Appearance

• Described as a “cool beauty” in Director Wang’s review of the show’s footage 7.
• Maintains a skincare routine, applying a face mask after the mountain outing and later relaxing with cucumber slices on her face 7 19.

Personality

Yu Wei maintains a composed exterior while filming, even when tired or exasperated. After putting on makeup, climbing a mountain, and having to keep her expressions under control, she privately compares herself to a corporate slave. Nevertheless, she is among the few guests credited with fulfilling the show’s requirements during its early broadcast 6.

Her reserve gives way to open fascination when the other contestants reveal scandalous information. She springs up at the news of Wen Ruohuai’s fiancé, then settles beside Xuelai to enjoy the confrontation. Wen Nan’s account of the switched babies leaves her so excited that she nearly applauds 19 20.

She is more relaxed around Xuelai, comfortably leaning against her in front of the cameras and later teasing her when they are paired for a date 22 76.

Relationships

• Xuelai — A close companion on the show. They watch television while eating chips, with Yu Wei leaning against Xuelai and their feet resting together. Their ease surprises Director Wang, who remarks on Xuelai’s usual concern with cleanliness. Yu Wei later follows Xuelai downstairs “like a shadow” 22 53.
• Xie Zhuzhou — A fellow contestant who gradually becomes familiar enough to address her as “Sister Yu Wei.” After seeing him arrive at the ski resort by helicopter, she is astonished that she and Xuelai had almost asked someone so wealthy to carry their shopping bags 41 53.
• Snow White — Her pet cat, a pure-white, longhaired cat with a raised tail likened to a feather duster. Although affectionate and popular with the cast, Snow White surprises Yu Wei by voluntarily climbing onto Xie Zhuzhou’s lap 56.

Story Role

Early Filming and the Wen Family Revelation

• Yu Wei is one of the three women Xuelai counts among the eight guests initially announced by the production team 4.
• Director Wang’s review of the mountain outing’s footage contrasts her cool appearance with Wang Zhengxiao’s sunny demeanor 7.
• During Wen Nan and Wen Ruohuai’s confrontation, she reacts loudly to the revelation that Wen Ruohuai has a fiancé. She then witnesses Wen Nan explain how the two were switched as babies 19 20.

Attraction Text and Shopping Date

• When required to send an attraction text, Xie Zhuzhou casually selects Yu Wei and writes, “Nice weather.” The messages conceal their senders’ numbers; his choice is presented as perfunctory rather than a declaration of interest 21.
• Director Wang arranges a three-person shopping date for Yu Wei, Xuelai, and Xie Zhuzhou. When fans recognize the women at the mall, bodyguards escort them away while Xie slips off through the crowd. He later calls the director to confirm that both women are safe 23.

Snow White’s Attachment to Xie Zhuzhou

While Yu Wei is reading in her room on a day without work, Snow White sneaks out. She finds the cat purring on Xie Zhuzhou’s lap and worries that its claws might snag his expensive coat. When he begins asking about the cat, she reflexively declares that Snow White is not for sale, only to discover that he wants to know its favorite snacks 56.

• She recommends tube treats, freeze-dried treats, and canned chicken 56.
• The following day, Xie sends an enormous supply of snacks. Yu Wei jokingly imagines Snow White as a noble feline consort receiving imperial rewards 56.

Truth or Dare and the Final Day

• During truth or dare, Yu Wei asks the person she believes is Xie Zhuzhou how many love letters he has written. The disguised Ji Wangyun answers that he cannot remember 68.
• In the final-day partner-snatching activity, Yu Wei takes the third position and expects that nobody will choose her. Xuelai walks over and claims her for a date, leaving Yu Wei struggling to suppress a smile 76.
