Biodata

Background / History

Meeting Cheng Che

Su Miaoyin initially approached Cheng Che to reach Yan Ruanning, her longtime idol. During his military training, she brought him bottled water, added him on WeChat, and soon asked about his connection to Yan Ruanning. The public approach immediately led his classmates to assume she was pursuing him 97 98.

She subsequently began tutoring him in music. Intending to discourage his supposed interest and establish her authority, she dressed carefully for their first lesson. His willingness to call her “teacher” flustered her, while his rapid understanding of music theory turned her attention toward nurturing his talent. Their classmates and her roommates nevertheless mistook the lesson for a date 99 100.

Meeting Yan Ruanning

After Cheng Che moved off campus, the two discovered that they lived across from each other. Su Miaoyin helped him carry groceries and fell asleep on his sofa while he prepared a housewarming meal. She answered the door when Yan Ruanning and Qin Lie arrived, creating the mistaken impression that she was Cheng Che’s girlfriend 108 109.

Su Miaoyin had liked Yan Ruanning since her first album; becoming music club president was partly an attempt to move closer to her idol’s world. Learning that Yan Ruanning and Cheng Che had known each other since childhood discouraged her, but she remained determined to pursue a closer relationship with Yan Ruanning 109.

To see her regularly, Su Miaoyin arranged to join Cheng Che’s music-arrangement lessons. She offered twice the market tuition rate, accepted a price of 1,000 per hour, and immediately paid for four lessons. Yan Ruanning misinterpreted this as another attempt to remain close to Cheng Che 110.

Developing Feelings for Cheng Che

Su Miaoyin’s certainty about her feelings began to unravel while watching Cheng Che repair her washing machine. Attracted to his hands and movements, she struggled to reconcile her reaction with her existing feelings for Yan Ruanning, whom she had previously regarded Cheng Che as a rival for 121.

She then heated a thermometer in hot water, producing a reading of 38.2°C, and pretended to be feverish. Cheng Che helped her to bed, brought an ice pack, and kept her key so he could check on her. His concern intensified her attachment, although maintaining the deception also meant accepting the bland breakfast he brought the next morning 122 125.

Her affection became increasingly visible: she straightened his collar before class, gave him sports earphones to celebrate his television debut, and helped prepare food while they watched North Star 126 127.

Supporting His Tennis Career

Su Miaoyin traveled to Tokyo with Lin Lin and Zhao Xiaoman, privately wanting to be in the same city as Cheng Che. Watching him compete in person revealed a sharper, more commanding side of him that deepened her attraction 125 131 133.

During an evening outing, she became jealous of the attention he received at a maid café. He reassured her that she—not the maids—was the person he had brought out. Later, an airport reporter’s question about whether she was his girlfriend made her heart skip, despite her outward composure 135 141.

She also took leave from university to attend his Masters tournament. The two visited Disneyland, where she applied sunscreen to his hands, wiped food from his nose, and lent him her scarf. After meeting his parents, she agreed to guide them around Disneyland while he rested for his final 157 159 162 163.

Romantic Resolve and Growing Familiarity

Su Miaoyin became more deliberate about pursuing Cheng Che after Lin Lin advised her to build their relationship quietly rather than compete publicly with Yan Ruanning and Pei Jingshu. Nevertheless, she remained easily embarrassed: when Yan Ruanning unexpectedly visited Cheng Che’s hotel room, Su Miaoyin hid in his wardrobe and discovered Pei Jingshu already inside 149 173.

Her first attempt to become his assistant was rejected because her classes prevented her from being available around the clock. She continued playfully acting out the role and teasing him 179.

After watching Pei Jingshu openly express that she missed Cheng Che, Su Miaoyin resolved to confess when school resumed; the supplied chapters do not establish that she carried out that confession. She remained in close contact through New Year greetings and congratulatory calls 215 246 250.

When Cheng Che returned to the courtyard, she ran into his arms. Their subsequent evening included grocery shopping, cooking, and dinner, during which he personally wiped sauce from her mouth. She also persuaded him to attend the music club’s Monday activity 269 270.

Assistant Work and Plans to Return Home

Uncertain about her future after graduation, Su Miaoyin eagerly accepted Cheng Che’s later suggestion that she try working as his assistant. He realized afterward that he had overlooked Qin Lie’s reservations about her suitability, but could not bring himself to withdraw the offer 349 350.

She began handling interview schedules, media coordination, promotional instructions, and other arrangements. The workload quickly disappointed her expectation that the job would let her spend more intimate time with Cheng Che 350.

After Chen Wei pointed out that mistakes could put Cheng Che in an awkward position, Su Miaoyin accepted her father’s request to return home and intern at the family company. This reversed her longstanding resistance to an arranged career path. She told Cheng Che that her father insisted on her return, although she had agreed enthusiastically during the call 350.

Appearance

• Hair: Long hair worn loose, in a high ponytail, or in a bun 97 126 162.
• Clothing: Her outfits include pleated dresses and skirts, over-the-knee socks, knitwear, and carefully coordinated casual clothes 99 108 126 156.

Personality

Raised in an affluent family and accustomed to being admired, Su Miaoyin initially reacts poorly when Cheng Che refuses to indulge her. Before meeting him, she maintained a polite but distant attitude toward male admirers. Her confidence also leads her to overestimate her ability to intimidate him during their first lesson 98 99.

She takes music education seriously. Once she recognizes Cheng Che’s potential, her desire to put him in his place gives way to genuine investment in his development. She later challenges his absence from lessons because she does not want him to waste his talent 99 108.

In romance, she alternates between bold teasing and conspicuous embarrassment. She can openly admire Cheng Che’s looks or initiate a hug, yet blushes intensely when he cares for her or introduces his parents. Her jealousy coexists with practical attentiveness, including bringing him food after noticing he had eaten little at dinner 162 173 269 270.
