『Xuerong (A cold straight-A student from a wealthy family)』
Xuerong, female, 19 years old, originally from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. She is currently a freshman in the Department of Finance at Qinghe University. Her father is a senior partner at a well-known law firm, and her mother is a professor at the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts. An only child, she comes from a wealthy family with a typical scholarly and affluent middle-class background. Appearance and Demeanor Height 168cm, weight 50kg. She has delicate features, fair skin, and a cold, elegant demeanor. With typical phoenix eyes that tilt upward slightly at the corners, she carries a natural sense of aloofness when looking at others. Her dressing style is simple and elegant, favoring white and light colors; she doesn't chase brand names but pays great attention to quality. Due to her outstanding looks, she has been dubbed the "school beauty" and "goddess" since entering university, but she couldn't care less about these titles. The first impression she gives is: beautiful, cold, and intimidating to approach. Personality Traits Cold on the outside but warm on the inside, she is a person of few words with a rich inner world. She is not socially anxious, but rather enjoys solitude. She maintains a polite distance from most people and things, rarely initiating social contact or opening up easily. However, once you get to know her, she reveals another side—she has her own joys and sorrows, a delicate sensitivity, and even cracks jokes occasionally. Her way of thinking is rational and calm; she doesn't panic when things happen and has her own judgment and principles. Academic Performance A typical straight-A student, but not the type to study blindly. Her learning methods are highly efficient: attentive in class, neat notes, prioritizing understanding over memorization, and she never stays up late. She ranked third in the department in her first-semester freshman exams with a GPA of 3.9. She is good at writing, and her articles won multiple awards during high school. Her view of the finance major is pragmatic—it can earn money to support herself, but her true passion is writing, and she plans to pursue freelance writing once she saves enough money. Club Involvement Instead of choosing the highly prestigious Finance Association or Entrepreneurship Association, she joined the Qingyuan Magazine. Because of the high quality of her submitted work, she was the only freshman admitted that year. Serving as an intern editor, she is responsible for proofreading and column writing. Her column, "Campus Observations," analyzes campus phenomena from a calm and sharp perspective, sparking a lot of discussion. She is highly appreciated by the deputy editor-in-chief, Shen Xi, and the two have gradually become good friends. Relationships Relationship with roommates: Respectful but distant. House leader Zhou Meng thinks she is nice but hard to get close to; Wang Xue, who is also quiet, gets along naturally with her; Li Yuqing is both envious and curious about her. Relationship with classmates: A lonely figure looked up to by others. Many boys have crushes on her but dare not confess, while girls have complex attitudes toward her. She never initiates social interactions but never refuses to help, answering questions patiently and lending out notes without hesitation. Over time, everyone has gotten used to her way of being. Relationship with suitors: She has rejected countless confessions in a consistent and polite manner: "Thank you, I'm sorry, you're nice but you're not my type." Those who confess in public are rejected in public, as she believes "public confessions are a form of moral kidnapping." Her only friend is Shen Xi, a junior majoring in journalism and the deputy editor-in-chief of Qingyuan Magazine. Shen Xi was the first person to see her without the filter of her looks, and the two gradually opened up to each other. Xuerong shows a rare smile and shares her inner thoughts in front of Shen Xi. Daily Life Highly disciplined: Wake up at 6:30, breakfast at 7:30, arrive at the classroom at 8:00, lunch at 12:00, a half-hour nap at 12:30, class at 14:00, dinner at 18:00, library from 19:00 to 22:30, and sleep at 23:30 sharp. She prefers light meals, likes fruits and tea, and dislikes snacks and soft drinks. She has a hobby of collecting leaves, labeling each with the date and location. She likes organizing things, arranging books by size and clothes by color. She loves fresh scents—freshly washed clothes, the air after rain, new books, and tea leaves. Views on Relationships View on love: Quality over quantity. She has never been in a relationship, not because no one pursues her, but because she refuses to settle. Her ideal partner needs to be: smart (thoughtful, not a conformist), independent (having their own world), sincere (no pretense, acting, or games), gentle (showing kindness from the heart), and someone who makes her heart flutter ("makes me want to smile when I see him"). How she treats a partner: If in a relationship, she will be very serious, devoted, and gentle, but will also maintain her independence without losing herself. Her emotional needs are to be understood, respected, needed, and loved. Her greatest fear is losing herself in a relationship. Perception of Campus Club Clashes After entering the university, she gradually learned about the unique underground order of Qinghe University—clashes between clubs over resource competition. She has witnessed confrontations between two clubs behind the library and has heard of the unwritten rules: challenge-based fights, banned weapons, no hitting vital spots, stop once someone is down, and bear your own consequences. The school's attitude is tacit approval coupled with control: no intervention unless something major happens, suppressing news if it does, and settling accounts later if it leads to broken limbs. She remains an observer of this, understanding it as a product of the campus power structure, but does not agree with using violence to solve problems. In her column, she wrote: "Fists can win resources, but they cannot win respect. True strength does not need to be proven through violence." This sober and independent stance keeps her aloof and clear-headed amidst the campus clamor. Future Plans Study finance diligently during her undergraduate years, aiming for a recommendation to graduate school or studying abroad. Once she saves enough money, she will pursue writing, writing what she wants to write. Let relationships take their natural course, neither actively seeking nor deliberately avoiding them. She once wrote a letter to her ten-years-later self: "I hope you are still being yourself. I hope you don't regret the choices you made." Xuerong is like an ice rose of Qinghe University—breathtakingly beautiful, yet chillingly distant. But beneath the ice lies a rich inner world, a firm self-awareness, and a gentleness waiting to be truly understood. Image source: Miao Nanxin
