Su Wanqing

Biodata

Background / History

College and Pregnancy

Su Wanqing falls in love with Lin Yi when she enters college and he helps carry her luggage while welcoming new students. Too shy to ask for his contact information, she keeps her feelings to herself. Their next encounter occurs when she finds him drunk by the roadside while returning to school; his phone is dead, leaving her unable to contact his roommates or family. She later describes the intimate encounter that followed as an accident 23.

After becoming pregnant, she cuts back on her own clothing and other expenses to buy baby supplies. She gives birth to twins and signs the surgery consent form herself. During this period, she lives in an inexpensive fourth-floor rental room, with Mama Zhang helping care for the children 18 19 20.

She conceals both the pregnancy and the babies from her parents and does not return home for a year. Caring for the newborns leaves her overwhelmed at times: during postpartum confinement, she once takes a crying Tangtang to the hospital at night, then cries alongside her after doctors find nothing wrong 30 39.

Workplace Abuse and Reunion

As an intern at Bullfighting Company, Su Wanqing endures Jiang Lan’s insults because she needs her job and wants to get home on time. She even accepts blame after Hu Hailin reprimands Jiang Lan, fearing retaliation. Jiang Lan subsequently demands that she work late and refuses her request to finish the assignment at home 16 17.

After identifying her as Tangtang’s mother, Lin Yi returns to the company. He intervenes when Jiang Lan attempts to slap her and comforts Su Wanqing as she breaks down. Jiang Lan is dismissed, and her acceptance of bribes is later referred to the police 17 19.

Su Wanqing subsequently faints after missing lunch. At Anhe Hospital, she is diagnosed with low blood sugar and postpartum ailments. Although reluctant to burden Lin Yi, she agrees to go home with him after he promises to care for her and Tangtang. She then reveals that they also have a son 18 19.

Building a Family

Lin Yi helps move Su Wanqing and Dabao out of the rental room. Leaving saddens her because the room had been home to her and both babies, but she accepts his promise to look after them. Before departing, she returns the key and thanks Mama Zhang for her care 20.

Her confidence in Lin Yi grows as she watches him change diapers and hears Zhang Meilan describe his attentive care of Tangtang. During a thunderstorm, she confesses her longstanding love for him. She accepts their relationship and begins calling him “hubby” 20 22 23 24.

When she prepares to return to work, Lin Yi appoints her his personal secretary, requiring her to accompany him only when he visits the company. She objects to the favoritism and the gossip it might cause, despite wanting more time at home with the twins 24.

Marriage Registration

After Jiang Yuehua raises concerns about obtaining household registration for the twins without their parents’ marriage certificate, Su Wanqing agrees to marry Lin Yi. His care for both her and the babies has already made him an essential part of her life; she tells him that she only wants the four of them to remain together 34 35.

Jiang Xuan does her makeup for the registration photograph. At the Civil Affairs Bureau on May 20, Lin Yi surprises her with a bridal veil, remembering that she wanted one. They complete the paperwork, receive their marriage certificates, and announce the marriage through Moments. Her roommates congratulate her and offer to serve as bridesmaids and support her as family 36 37 38.

Recovery and Family Visits

Lin Yi initially eases her postpartum discomfort with massage. Later, when she develops stomach pain and diarrhea after catching a chill, he gives her a system-obtained pill disguised as a candy bean. The medicine cures her postpartum illness 23 41.

Her parents discover the marriage through her Moments post. Contrary to her fears, Fang Yan asks her to bring Lin Yi home rather than reprimanding her. Su Wanqing agrees, but keeps the twins a secret so she can introduce them as a surprise 39 40.

Before visiting Fengtian, the couple travels to the Imperial Capital to meet Lin Yi’s family. Su Wanqing insists on bringing gifts and chooses a Tang suit for Lin Zhengtai, a fountain pen for Lin Hongzhi, and a silk scarf for Jiang Yuehua. The family warmly welcomes her and the babies; Lin Zhengtai offers her his late wife’s favorite bracelets, while Jiang Yuehua gives her a black card 46 48 49 50.

Appearance

• Natural beauty: Jiang Xuan, despite having worked with many celebrities, admires her appearance and uses only light makeup for her marriage-registration photograph 36.
• Eyes and brows: Described with large, doll-like eyes and delicate eyebrows 20 25.
• Early postpartum condition: Lin Yi notices that she is extremely thin after childbirth, rather than retaining extra weight 18.
• Expressiveness: Frequently blushes when teased and puffs out her cheeks or pouts when embarrassed or annoyed 19 20 23.

Personality

Su Wanqing is initially shy, self-effacing, and reluctant to trouble others. She hides her love for Lin Yi rather than approaching him and, even after their reunion, offers to leave with Tangtang if he finds someone else he loves. Her reluctance to depend entirely on him also underlies her insistence on working and her discomfort with preferential treatment 18 23 24.

Her children’s welfare takes priority over her own comfort. She saves money for baby supplies, worries about vaccination pain, and tries to share nighttime childcare so Lin Yi will not become exhausted. She is also considerate toward those who help the family, inviting Zhang Meilan to eat at the table rather than separately in the kitchen 20 22 30 31.

Once free of Jiang Lan’s bullying and the strain of raising the twins without Lin Yi, she becomes noticeably livelier and more outspoken. She jokes with her husband, playfully competes for the babies’ affection, and is ready to confront what she believes is an unreasonable merchant 32 43.

She remains careful with money despite Lin Yi’s wealth. She discourages extravagant gifts, bargains aggressively, and insists on paying for gifts to his family herself. Gift-giving also matters to her as a hometown custom: she considers visiting relatives empty-handed a loss of face 40 42 46 48.
