Li Xiaona

Biodata

Background

Li Xiaona’s parents live in the Heavenly Harmony Residential Community on the outskirts of Demon City. An only child, she grew up envying people who had an affectionate older brother to look after them and bicker with 31 47.

She became attracted to Ye Feng after hearing him speak as the student representative when she enrolled at Demon City University. After discovering that he already had a girlfriend, she kept her feelings private and admired him from afar. Shi Nan knew about her crush and helped her find out more about him 5 11.

Appearance

• Face and expression: Described as sweet-looking, with large eyes; she frequently blushes when Ye Feng shows her affection 5 8 9.
• Figure: Has a slender waist and a full bust; Ye Lin’s borrowed pajama top fits her so tightly that a button pops off 33 35.
• Introductory outfit: A white T-shirt and blue jeans 5.
• Banquet attire: Chooses a conservative white gown that complements Ye Feng’s suit 30 35.
• Birthmark: Has a black birthmark on her lower left leg. Seeing it through his divine sense gives Ye Feng an unexplained feeling of familiarity, though he cannot recall why 44.

Personality

Li Xiaona is playful, clever, and openly affectionate once she has an opportunity to approach Ye Feng. She asks to call him “Brother Feng,” arranges their movie outing, and uses the prospect of returning his dinner invitation as a reason to meet again. Despite taking these steps, she is easily embarrassed by physical affection and her roommates’ teasing 5 7 9 11.

Her loyalty has a fierce side: she tolerates Mu Tong’s attacks on herself but lashes out when Mu Tong insults Ye Feng. She is also considerate of his needs, avoiding messages while she believes he is busy with family matters and trying foods he enjoys 10 14 27.
