Song Yurou

Biodata

Power Progression

Song Yurou's system tracks viral fame value, rather than a combat or cultivation rank 262.

Background / History

Song Yurou grew up in the Song household in the place of its biological daughter, Song Shiwei. A later Song Group statement attributes the exchange to human traffickers and Song Linhai's negligence, explaining that Shiwei remained in the countryside until she was twenty-three. Chen Jingxian explicitly describes Yurou as Song Linhai's adopted daughter 42 133.

When Shiwei returned, Yurou and Song Ruchu helped arrange for her to marry into the Jiang Family in Yurou's place. Yurou subsequently presented herself as the wronged younger sister whose fiancé had been stolen. Jiang Xun later rejected that account, stating that Yurou had never been his fiancée and that he married Shiwei because he loved her 2 42 141 409.

Yurou knows that she inhabits a merged fictional world containing several male and female leads. Her system identifies Gu Xiujin as her destined male lead, while her expected future includes becoming a Best Actress and befriending fellow heroine Wen Chuxue. These expectations increasingly diverge from events as Shiwei gains supporters 131 179 400.

Personality

Song Yurou cultivates an image of a considerate, delicate younger sister. She frequently apologizes on Shiwei's behalf while embedding accusations in those apologies, presenting hostility as concern or family responsibility. Her tears can appear on command, but wealthy guests begin recognizing the performance early in the story 2 6 8.

Her jealousy centers on status, affection, and opportunities she considers rightfully hers. She interprets Shiwei's successful marriage and growing popularity as theft, despite having helped arrange that marriage herself. Her confidence in being the designated heroine reinforces her belief that Shiwei should remain a despised supporting character 250 362 401.

Yurou treats relationships as sources of influence and protection. She abandons Song Ruchu when his position becomes inconvenient, later recruits him against Shiwei, and seeks Mo Chen's wealth despite fearing him. Under direct threats she becomes frightened and compliant, but subsequently returns to planning how to use Mo Chen against others 46 142 415 419 422 423.

Abilities & Skills

System Access

Yurou communicates mentally with a system that supplies information about the world's plot and its designated leads 179 401.

• Plot knowledge: Receives information about intended relationships, future careers, and protagonist roles. Its information becomes unreliable as characters deviate from their prescribed behavior 179 262.
• Redeemable items: Uses unspecified system items in attempts to disadvantage Shiwei, including an item she believes has influenced the confrontation with Mrs. Li 8 104.
• Dream implantation: Selects Shiwei to receive a system-implanted sequence depicting the prescribed plot. The system reports resistance in Shiwei's mind, reinforcing Yurou's suspicion that she has awakened or undergone a soul replacement 400.
• Proposed erasure: The system tells her that Shiwei cannot be erased until people forget her. Its later assurances also lead Yurou to believe she can erase evidence of her own actions after securing the female-lead position; neither outcome is demonstrated in the supplied events 251 445.
• Limits: The system depends on energy sustained by viral fame. It hibernates, refuses to answer, or loses external functions at critical moments 262 407 411.

Social Manipulation

Yurou uses flattery, apparent vulnerability, and claims of sisterly concern to seek allies or discredit Shiwei 8 13.

• Attempts to gain access to high-end gowns by comforting Mrs. Li while accusing Shiwei of seducing President Li 8.
• Tries to persuade Zhang Leyao that dressing her would publicize the company, then attacks Shiwei's suitability when Leyao chooses Shiwei instead 13.
• Coaxes Mo Chen into a pleased, affectionate mood after deciding to exploit his obsession 423.
• Her methods fail when witnesses challenge her account, including Mrs. Jiang, Zhang Leyao, and Jiang Xun 8 13 409.

Online Reputation Attacks

Yurou uses alternate accounts, prepared posts, paid trolls, and fan narratives to attack Shiwei's reputation 108 132.

• Schedules posts using photographs of Shiwei's former home and school to ridicule her rural background 132.
• Recognizes that hostility toward Shiwei can increase her own viral fame value and resolves to manufacture scandals 262.
• Accidentally replies to herself from her main account, exposing her involvement in an attack campaign 132 140.
• Later avoids repeating that account-switching mistake, though another confrontation still ends in public backlash 363.

Major Story Arcs

Early Society Confrontations

At the charity gala, Yurou publicly apologizes for Shiwei's supposed lack of adjustment to wealthy society. President Wang supports her criticism, but Shiwei's broadcast thoughts expose scandals surrounding him. Those thoughts also reveal Yurou's role in encouraging Wang Xiaoshuai to arrange Li Nana's marriage to his father 2 5.

Her attempts to secure fashion-industry connections fare little better. Mrs. Jiang challenges her accusations against Shiwei, and Zhang Leyao rejects her request for preferential treatment. Yurou also tries to acquire Shiwei's seemingly unattractive stones, but President Liu identifies them as valuable jadeite rough before she can obtain them 8 13 14.

Song Family Scandal and Expulsion

During the confrontation between Song Linhai and Chen Jingxian, Jingxian accuses Yurou of helping arrange Shiwei's marriage and urging Linhai to obstruct the divorce. Yurou privately welcomes the revelation that Song Ruchu is not Linhai's biological son, believing it leaves her as the family's only remaining daughter 42.

Her attempted online exposure of Shiwei backfires when the Jiang, Zhang, and Song families publicly acknowledge Shiwei. Song Group then identifies Shiwei as the real heiress and asks Yurou to stop inciting online abuse against her 132 133.

At Movie Night, Song Ruchu accuses Yurou of manipulating him into attacking Shiwei and directing fans against him. His threat to release chat screenshots forces her to apologize. A subsequent broadcast announces that Yurou and Ruchu no longer represent the Song Family and that Shiwei will inherit Song Linhai's property 142 143.

Red-Carpet Rivalry with Wen Chuxue

Yurou plans a red-carpet appearance intended to overshadow Shiwei, but clashes with Wen Chuxue over their entrance order. Their struggle sends both women to the ground before photographers and becomes a trending topic 104 105.

Zhang Leyao then exposes both women's floral gowns as counterfeit copies of her design. Yurou claims Shiwei gave her the dress, prompting Shiwei to deny having given away Leyao's gift. The incident deepens Yurou's rivalry with Wen, despite the system's prediction that they should eventually become close friends 107 108 179.

Chen Cheng's Fabricated Pregnancy

Seeking to make the public forget Shiwei so the system can erase her, Yurou allies with Chen Cheng. They plan to exploit an alleged pregnancy to attack Lin Jia and implicate Shiwei 251.

The scheme collapses when a doctor exposes the pregnancy as fake and Chen Cheng is taken to the police station. Yurou's system withdraws into hibernation, her casting opportunities decline, and she turns toward fabricating further dirt on Shiwei to recover fame 262.

Pursuit of Jiang Xun

After the dream-implantation scheme, Yurou asks to replace Gu Xiujin with Jiang Xun as her male lead. She dismisses the system's warning that Jiang Xun is the world's designated villain and insists that her own destiny can protect him 400 401.

At a banquet, she repeatedly provokes Shiwei and claims Jiang Xun loves her instead. Jiang Xun publicly rejects both her romantic claim and her assertion that she was his fiancée. Mo Chen witnesses her interest in Jiang Xun and takes her away 403 406 407 409.

Mo Chen's Captivity and Abuse

At his villa, Mo Chen chokes Yurou and drags her across the floor until she strikes her head and loses consciousness. He later subjects her to electric shocks through a lie detector and threatens her with a loaded handgun, demanding assurances that she will not leave him 412 419 420.

Yurou asks the system to help her leave, but it minimizes her fear and emphasizes Mo Chen's usefulness. She ultimately decides to soothe him and use his influence against Shiwei, including a proposed scheme to force Jiang Xun to choose between Shiwei and his company 422 423.

Gossip Courtyard and Warehouse 25

Yurou joins Mo Chen, Lin Xuewu, Gu Xiujin, and Leng Lingtian in a coordinated attack on Shiwei. She also hopes to turn Mo Chen against the others and free herself from his control 439 443.

The group takes Shiwei, Jiang Zhuxin, and the production crew to a warehouse. Mo Chen calls Jiang Xun and orders him to come alone to Warehouse 25, while Yurou contacts other people who care about Shiwei, intending to trap them and seize their resources 443 444.

Yurou then demands that those present hand over all their assets in exchange for her killing Shiwei. She claims she can make Shiwei disappear without leaving evidence, alarming even her fellow conspirators. The confrontation remains unresolved in the supplied chapters 445.

• Song Linhai — Adoptive father whose favoritism Yurou relies upon. He later publicly expels her from the family 42 142 143.
