Characters
Li Xuan
- Appearance
- Li Xuan looks cold at first glance, giving off an aloof 'ice beauty' impression, able to stare straight at people and seem hard to approach. But once close, he reveals a soft, delicate side, likened to a belly-baring kitten or ragdoll cat, nicknamed 'kitty head' and 'little calico'. He sulks and pulls his hand back, burrows into the covers, and once had swollen lips after being bullied by an unscrupulous patient. Overall a cold shell wrapping a soft, tender core.
- Personality
- Cold on the surface but actually clingy, delicate, and prone to acting cute. He plays pitiful and exaggerates pain, saying 'it hurts, it hurts just to touch it', sulks in little fits of temper, and clings while wanting to be cared for endlessly. As Su Xingchuan knows, he 'only looks cold'—his claws are just for show, while underneath he is soft, shy, and longing to be cherished.
- Motivation
- He longs to be treasured and cared for, his core drive being his emotional bond with Su Xingchuan. Reuniting after seven years, what he still holds in his heart is Su Xingchuan's call of 'baby', and he directly asks whether the other will 'take care of me forever', showing his motivation centers on rekindling old love and confirming that he is loved.
- Arc
- Raised under his family's protection, with parents and uncle handing him whatever he wanted, he rarely acted on his own will. He once left Su Xingchuan's home alone on a snowy night carrying a gift box, broke up but dared not give a reason. Seven years later they reunite at the hospital, and he still cherishes the old love. Within the available material, his arc points from passive compliance toward facing and fighting for his own feelings.
- Voice
- He speaks directly, often asking blunt questions like 'You don't want children in the future either?' and 'Will you take care of me forever?'. When acting cute his tone turns soft and pitiful, saying 'it hurts, it hurts just to touch it, it hurts so much I can't sleep'; when sulking he demands 'Are you crazy?'. His overall tone shifts between calm direct questioning and delicate coquettishness.
- Background
- A male-health (andrology) doctor, called 'Dr. Li' and 'little Dr. Li'. He is Su Xingchuan's ex-boyfriend, reunited at the hospital after seven years. Raised under his family's protection, doted on by his parents and uncle, with study and medicine coming easily to him—a carefully cherished 'young master'.
Su Xingchuan
- Appearance
- Seven years later, Su Xingchuan looks much the same as before, giving an impression of steadiness and maturity. He dresses respectably and carries himself with composure, projecting the polished air of a businessman, often responding with a faint smile that conveys calm and restraint.
- Personality
- He is composed and reserved, staying calm and restrained in difficult moments and often diffusing emotion with a faint laugh. Yet around Li Xuan he cannot hide how much he cares, reaching out to pull him close or leaning down to kiss him, and growing visibly downcast over the past. Cautious and afraid of regret, he weighs choices carefully, while also being protective and attentive, looking after the other's daily needs.
- Motivation
- His core drive centers on his relationship with Li Xuan: reuniting due to illness and facing surgery, while reexamining this bond after seven years, longing to make up for the past and protect the other for good, vowing to care for him for a lifetime.
- Arc
- From never having considered his orientation before meeting Li Xuan, to once hesitating and holding back out of fear of taking 'another path' and of regret, to reuniting seven years later and openly vowing to 'care for you for a lifetime,' he moves from avoiding himself toward facing his feelings and taking responsibility.
- Voice
- He speaks with ease and self-possession, often with a faint laugh and a teasing tone, such as poking fun at the other for wanting to be fed over a small scrape; when serious, he lowers his voice to state his mind and worries plainly. His words of affection are direct and firm, as in 'I will care for you for a lifetime.'
- Background
- He is Li Xuan's ex-boyfriend from seven years ago, having taken part in activities like a skateboarding club in his university days, with friends such as Yu Qinglan around him. Now in the workplace, addressed as 'Director Su' or 'Manager Su,' he has work dealings with Xu Zhengdong, Yan Tao, and a secretary, and reunited with Li Xuan, now a doctor, at an andrology hospital over a stone caused by inflammation.
Xu Zhengdong
- Appearance
- He often sizes others up with a condescending, scrutinizing gaze, occasionally curving his lips into a smile or bursting into laughter. He travels in a Cullinan, exuding wealth and status. Overall he gives the outward impression of a haughty, hard-to-approach local 'overlord'.
- Personality
- He is described as psychologically off and like a local 'overlord', looking down on people through his nostrils and demanding others grovel and flatter him, yet he may still not grant his favor. But toward family he shows another side, caring deeply for his nephew Li Xuan, often teasing yet comforting, and keenly reading people's minds. Overall his temperament blends arrogance with protectiveness.
- Motivation
- As the man in power at Zhongjin, his core drive is to control the company's affairs and push its public listing. At the same time, feeling he has long let down his sister and nephew, he is especially eager to protect and look after his nephew Li Xuan, while quietly investigating those connected to Li Xuan such as Su Xingchuan.
- Arc
- The material offers limited clues to his transformation. He moves from a consistently arrogant, domineering posture that makes others 'grovel' to showing concern and acceptance amid his nephew's romantic entanglements: knowing Su Xingchuan is the ex who repeatedly pursued Li Xuan, he holds no grudge, gives him a Zhongjin project, and treats him as an ordinary subordinate. His arc mainly lies in moving from intervening and testing to gradually accepting his nephew's relationship.
- Voice
- He speaks from a position of superiority, with a scrutinizing and teasing tone, often needling people half-jokingly, such as calling Li Xuan 'number one at holding grudges' and warning 'don't let him run into your boss, it could be deadly'. When urging someone he is blunt and brisk, like 'stop yelling, get out quick'. When introducing people he puts on a fake-polite air. Overall his tone mixes dominance with affectionate ribbing.
- Background
- He is the head and man in power at Zhongjin company, the central figure in its affairs and listing process, extremely busy with frequent business trips and back-to-back meetings. In family terms he is Li Xuan's uncle; feeling he has long let down his sister and nephew, he is especially attentive to Li Xuan, and has a secretary to help manage his affairs.
Xie Liang
- Appearance
- There is little direct description of his looks. He dresses casually and behaves in an easygoing, unrestrained way, once sleeping in his clothes overnight at the hospital and wearing slippers around. Overall he gives a relaxed, sociable impression.
- Personality
- Warm, outgoing and fond of teasing, he often jokes with his friends yet knows when to hold back, refusing to pile on when Xie Liang sees Su Xingchuan in a bad state. Loyal and ready to step up for friends, helping them into the car and keeping watch all night, he is also thick-skinned, curious and unable to keep things to himself.
- Motivation
- His larger goals are not spelled out in the material. From his words and actions he clearly values friendship and enjoys supporting his friends, such as accompanying Su Xingchuan through surgery and caring about his love life, while also tending to his own life and relationship and hoping to live at ease.
- Arc
- As a supporting character his development is only partly visible. The material shows him moving from Su Xingchuan's partner and close friend toward marriage, with a pastor, vows and his girlfriend Xue Ningzi appearing, while also getting caught up in an accusation of cheating. His personal life moves from single toward settling down, though the limited material makes deeper change hard to assert.
- Voice
- He speaks bluntly and casually, full of banter and earthy vividness, fond of jokes and exaggerated comparisons such as calling someone so beautiful you can't tell man from woman with admirers lining up all the way to Central Street. His tone is warm and pressing, leaning in to probe, and he often mutters to himself, unable to hide his curiosity.
- Background
- He works at an investment company and is Su Xingchuan's colleague and friend; the two were once partners, and the firm has routine arrangements such as regular meetings. The material notes he has a girlfriend, Xue Ningzi, and is approaching marriage, but offers no further details about his family or origins.
He Ning
- Appearance
- An aging woman with more gray hair and deeper wrinkles than before, yet she does not look truly old. When she narrows her eyes and frowns, she still carries an intimidating air of authority.
- Personality
- Strong-willed and firm, once she decides on something she intervenes to the end, and when enraged her eyes redden as she berates others. Stubborn yet not heartless, she feels both heartache and bewilderment within; seven years later she can be moved by another's words and finally lower her head to apologize, revealing a tough exterior over a soft heart.
- Motivation
- Her core drive is to protect her son Su Xingchuan, unwilling to let him fall into a situation she cannot accept. She firmly believes she must intervene in his relationship, willing to bear the blame for meddling in her child's life in order to stop a bond she does not approve of.
- Arc
- Seven years ago she fiercely opposed her son's relationship with Li Xuan, her harsh words leaving Li Xuan a lasting psychological shadow. Years later she at first still coldly questions and stubbornly blocks them, but after her teahouse conversation with Xu Nianzhi her stance softens with surprising speed, and she finally says 'I'm sorry' to Li Xuan, completing a shift from firm opposition to attempted acceptance.
- Voice
- She speaks bluntly and gets straight to the point; when resolute her voice may tremble slightly from the cold yet she will not yield, and when angry her words turn sharp and fierce, scolding to one's face. When softened her words grow brief, a simple 'I'm sorry' showing she has set aside her pride.
- Background
- Su Xingchuan's mother, also addressed as 'Ms. He' in the material. Before retirement she worked as an accountant at a construction company. Seven years ago she strongly opposed her son's same-sex relationship with Li Xuan.
Xu Nianzhi
- Appearance
- The material does not directly describe her looks or clothing, but from scenes of her making dumplings with her husband in a bright, tidy living room, and her gentle gestures of ruffling her son's hair and brushing frost from his hair, she comes across as a warm, homely mother with a tender bearing.
- Personality
- Gentle, considerate, tolerant and open-minded. She accepts and supports her son's sexual orientation, believing that the older generation's prejudices should not become a burden on the children, and aches for their hardships. Facing the hostile He Ning, she does not confront but soothes and reconciles, leaving room for others and reflecting on herself.
- Motivation
- Her core drive is to see her son Li Xuan happy and at peace. She repeatedly expresses that his parents only want him to be happy, and steps forward to talk with the other parent, all to win understanding and time for the children's relationship.
- Arc
- Inferable from the material: from constantly reflecting on herself when her son came out, to calmly accepting and firmly defending him, she shifts from inner struggle to active mediation, paving the way for the next generation, ultimately becoming a warm bridge between two families with the steady conviction that her son is a good child.
- Voice
- She speaks gently and considerately, often in a soothing, reassuring tone full of a mother's care and patience, as in telling her son to take the call and that she'll go upstairs, or that the children have already had it hard. When persuading others she reasons calmly, leaving room, with a mild yet steady force.
- Background
- She is Li Xuan's mother and the elder sister of Xu Zhengdong (her younger brother, Li Xuan's uncle). While seven months pregnant in her youth, she was shocked into early labor by news of her brother's brawl, leading to Li Xuan's hurried birth. She raises Li Xuan together with her husband in a harmonious home, doting on her son.
Zou Ying
- Appearance
- A young and pretty little nurse with a likeable, lively, and approachable air. She wears her nurse's uniform as she bustles between the ward and the department.
- Personality
- Cheerful and easily amused, lively yet a bit of a gossip, and prone to shyness. At first she dared not speak to Zou's patient Su due to his imposing presence, only gathering courage once she sensed his gentle tone; she tends to speak in roundabout ways, and when she walks in on Li Xuan and Su Xingchuan being intimate she is flustered and stammers.
- Motivation
- As a nurse, she is driven to do her job caring for patients and keeping the ward running, while also enjoying chatting and lightening the mood.
- Arc
- In the material she is a supporting character, appearing throughout Su Xingchuan's hospital stay. She moves from initial reserve toward Su, to teasing familiarity, and finally to shock at witnessing his intimacy with Li Xuan; she witnesses and indirectly nudges the reveal of their relationship, with no marked personal growth arc.
- Voice
- Her tone is light and familiar; she likes to call Su Xingchuan 'handsome,' often teasing, as when she raises an eyebrow and asks 'A handsome guy this nosy too?'; she gives medical instructions briskly, but stammers and loses her words in awkward moments.
Yu Qinglan
- Appearance
- The material gives almost no description of physical features or clothing. What shows is gesture and expression: punching a friend's shoulder, arms folded, a raised brow, a half-smiling teasing look, and whispering with a hand covering half the face, leaving an overall impression of liveliness, ease, and a touch of mischief.
- Personality
- Sharp, fond of teasing, yet considerate. Able to tell at a glance that Li Xuan is gay and the first to notice Su Xingchuan was 'too invested' in that boy, with keen powers of observation. Often speaks with banter and mock sarcasm and likes to needle friends, but cares underneath: takes the initiative to tell the junior girl to give up, and gathers close friends to pull a preoccupied Su Xingchuan out for a meal.
- Motivation
- As Su Xingchuan's friend, the core drive is to see through and call out the friend's hidden feelings, pushing Su Xingchuan to face his feelings for Li Xuan; meanwhile, caring for his love life as a friend and stepping in to cover for and console him when needed.
- Arc
- In the material this character stays relatively stable, serving mostly as the bystander and revealer who advances the protagonist's emotional line. From the early jab 'haven't you noticed you're too invested in that boy', to accepting and understanding Su Xingchuan 'becoming gay' with the 'little cutie' as the object, to questioning after they got together what Su Xingchuan 'got out of this relationship', there is a subtle shift from teasing probing to caring companionship.
- Voice
- Brisk and teasing in tone, often using rhetorical questions and mock sarcasm to provoke, such as 'are you faking it or for real' and 'where's the little cutie'. Also jokes with exaggerated metaphors, like pretending to operate with chopsticks to tease the medical-school Li Xuan; quick-witted, barbed yet not hurtful.
- Background
- A friend of Su Xingchuan and a member of the debate club, acquainted with him for years (already called out his feelings seven years ago). Often appears in campus settings such as the study room, classroom, cafeteria, and the club anniversary event, a close schoolmate familiar with Su Xingchuan's circle. No further family or background details are given.
Xue Ningzi
- Appearance
- The material gives no direct description of her looks, only that a photo of her was passed around and that she sat with Xie Liang in a Western restaurant. From her role and the scenes, she can be inferred to be a presentable young woman, suited to occasions like wedding-dress fittings and dinners, leaving an overall composed and dignified impression.
- Personality
- Warm and friendly, she once enthusiastically tried to set Su Xingchuan up before knowing he was gay. Calm and level-headed, she did not lose composure when Li Xuan called out Xie Liang in public, only covering her face out of embarrassment and lowering her voice to quiet him; yet she has clear boundaries, and once she learned the truth she turned on him decisively and stormed off. Perceptive too, she sharply noticed Li Xuan's feelings toward Su Xingchuan.
- Motivation
- Her core goal is to plan the wedding with Xie Liang and move toward starting a family, building a stable and intimate relationship. This drives her to take their wedding-dress and future plans seriously, and it is also why, feeling deceived, she could not tolerate it and left resolutely.
- Voice
- Her speech is brief and restrained, calm in tone and at times impatient. In awkward moments she lowers her voice, saying 'keep it down for me,' while in private talk with Su Xingchuan she is candid and direct, quietly pointing out 'I feel like he really likes you.' Overall her wording is plain and to the point, showing emotion without being wordy.
- Background
- She is Xie Liang's partner of five years, preparing for their wedding and trying for a child. Su Xingchuan, a year younger, calls her 'sister-in-law,' showing she is warmly accepted within the friend group as the bride-to-be. Beyond this, the material says nothing of her occupation, family, or origins.
Yan Tao
- Appearance
- The material gives no direct description of Yan Tao's looks or attire, but as the head of Guangxin Securities and the 'Director Yan' who frequents the Zhongjin building and business dinners, one can infer he dresses formally and carries himself like a securities executive, giving an impression of shrewdness and authority.
- Personality
- Yan Tao is shrewd, pragmatic, snobbish and sharp-tongued. When Su Xingchuan fell ill and had surgery, Yan twisted it into 'delaying work for surgery,' bordering on heartless, and applied pressure with cold sneers when the project stalled. Once he assumed Su had connected with Xu Zhengdong, he dropped the harshness for politeness and even flattery, showing that his treatment of others shifts with self-interest.
- Motivation
- His core drive is business profit and performance. Three months ago, sensing Zhongjin's Series A financing opportunity, he immediately brought Guangxin Securities forward; he fixates on the project's progress and pushes his subordinate to win over Xu Zhengdong, prioritizing landing the deal and protecting the company's interests above all.
- Arc
- Within the given material, Yan Tao's attitude toward Su Xingchuan visibly shifts: at first harsh and cutting, pressuring and blaming him over the stalled project; once Xu Zhengdong designates Su to lead it entirely, Yan turns courteous and flattering, no longer daring to slight him. This shift reflects his interest-driven logic rather than genuine growth.
- Voice
- His tone is acerbic and aggressive, fond of rhetorical questions and cold sneers to apply pressure, such as 'May I ask, how much time do you have left?' and the angry 'You're pulling this on me now!' Once he stands to gain, he turns courteous and easygoing, like 'You're back, busy over there?'—his wording rises and falls with the other party's value to him.
- Background
- Yan Tao is the head of Guangxin Securities and Su Xingchuan's boss, known in the industry as 'Director Yan.' Three months ago, when Zhongjin planned its Series A financing, he led Guangxin Securities forward to pursue the partnership and assigned subordinates like Su Xingchuan to liaise with Zhongjin's Xu Zhengdong. The material does not mention his family or earlier origins.
Zhou Jing
- Appearance
- There is little direct description of his appearance, but glimpses emerge from his role as a company manager and his demeanor in conflict: he often reveals an ugly expression, slams the table, darkens his face, and flies into a rage—an emotionally transparent, status-obsessed middle-aged office man.
- Personality
- Sinister, combative, and petty. He excels at scheming behind people's backs, habitually sowing discord, poaching others, and whispering in superiors' ears to seize advantage; when his plans fail he flies into a rage and lashes out, projecting his own two-faced conduct onto his rival.
- Motivation
- His core drive is to outdo Su Xingchuan and snatch the Zhongjin project, thereby securing his own position and gains within the company.
- Arc
- Within what the material covers, he remains Su Xingchuan's chief rival throughout: from undermining him in secret at the project's outset, to confronting him openly and nearly coming to blows upon learning the project went to his rival, only to retreat sullenly when Yan Tao intervenes. No clear transformation is shown—what emerges is a trajectory of losing the contest and growing ever more resentful.
- Voice
- His speech is aggressive and emotional, given to accusation and labeling—calling his rival a 'sinister villain' who 'goes back on his word'; when pressed he slams the table and snaps lines like 'you have no place butting in,' forceful in wording yet hollow in confidence, often dissolving into fury.
- Background
- A company manager addressed as 'Manager Zhou,' he works at the same firm as Su Xingchuan and is the latter's chief rival there. The material gives no account of his family or origins; it shows only that he has long competed with Su Xingchuan for projects and superiors' favor in the workplace.
Xie Liang's Girlfriend
- Appearance
- The material gives no direct description of her appearance, build, or clothing, so no concrete portrayal is possible. Based only on her role, she is Xie Liang's legally registered wife, in the stage of preparing for the wedding and undergoing pre-marital checkups, presumably a woman of marriageable age.
- Personality
- The text offers no direct words or actions from her, so her temperament cannot be firmly established. From Xie Liang's remark that 'my wife told me to go check at the andrology clinic today,' one may faintly infer she is conscientious and thorough about pre-marital matters, with her own views on planning their future.
- Motivation
- Her own motivation is not directly stated in the material. A reasonable inference from the plot is that she is jointly advancing the marriage with Xie Liang—registering, meeting both sets of parents, doing pre-marital checks—her core drive being to build a family with Xie Liang and complete the formal steps of marriage.
- Arc
- She appears very sparingly in the given material, mentioned only as a figure related to Xie Liang's marriage, with no traceable thread of growth or change, so no full-book arc can be outlined without fabrication.
- Voice
- There is no direct dialogue from her in the material, so her speech style cannot be observed firsthand. It can only be inferred from her role and situation: as Xie Liang's bride-to-be and legally registered wife, she makes specific requests and arrangements during the wedding preparations, suggesting a practical, assertive way of communicating.
- Background
- She is Xie Liang's wife and has legally registered the marriage with him (obtained the 'red certificate'). The two are preparing for the wedding, including visiting her parents to discuss it and undergoing pre-marital checkups. Her family, occupation, and detailed background are not mentioned in the material.
Ye Fei
- Personality
- The material does not directly portray Ye Fei's character. Given his identity as a doctoral student and the fact that he still keeps in touch with Su Xingchuan years later, one may at most infer that he is likely loyal to friendships and studious, though his precise disposition cannot be asserted.
- Motivation
- The material does not state Ye Fei's core goals or driving force. From the clue that he is pursuing a doctorate at Beijing Medical University, one may infer that advancing his studies and medical expertise is his current main pursuit, while any deeper motivation is not mentioned.
- Arc
- As a supporting character, Ye Fei appears only through a single secondhand mention, lacking any portrayal of growth or change across the book. Within what is known, he has gone from Li Xuan's college roommate to a doctoral student in Beijing while still keeping ties with his old friend Su Xingchuan; a fuller character arc cannot be traced.
- Voice
- The material contains no direct lines from Ye Fei himself; his situation is only relayed by Su Xingchuan. His speech style therefore cannot be judged directly, and can only be guessed from his scholarly identity as possibly plain and orderly, which is merely a minimal inference based on his role.
- Background
- Ye Fei is Li Xuan's college roommate, currently pursuing a doctoral degree at Beijing Medical University, and keeps in touch with Su Xingchuan. Beyond this, the material mentions nothing of his family, origins, or other background.
Li Chongyuan
- Appearance
- The material gives no direct description of his physique or clothing. He is known only as Li Xuan's university roommate, suggesting an ordinary young man, with specific appearance unspecified.
- Personality
- The material offers little about his direct words or deeds, but the fact that he keeps in touch with Su Xingchuan after graduation suggests a person who values friendship and old ties, willing to maintain bonds with former classmates.
- Motivation
- The material does not state his core goal. From his return to his hometown of Chongqing and his continued contact with old friends, one may infer he seeks a return to his roots and a settled life while preserving old relationships.
- Arc
- As a supporting character, the material shows no full-book growth arc, only noting his post-graduation departure from campus and return to his hometown of Chongqing, with limited scope for transformation.
- Voice
- His direct lines are absent in the material, so his tone cannot be judged directly; however, as a former classmate, he likely speaks with old friends in an easygoing, warm and casual manner.
- Background
- A university roommate of Li Xuan, originally from Chongqing. After graduation he returned to his hometown of Chongqing to live and stays in contact with Su Xingchuan. Other family and career details are not mentioned.
Dr. Wang
- Appearance
- The material gives no direct description of Dr. Wang's physique or attire. Given the role as a hospital doctor, it is reasonable to infer the usual medical-staff dress in a work setting, though specific appearance cannot be verified.
- Personality
- The material reveals no concrete details about Dr. Wang's temperament or conduct. We only know of a shift swap with the colleague 'Li Xuan', suggesting some flexibility and cooperation in scheduling, but no further personality traits can be determined.
- Motivation
- The material does not state Dr. Wang's core goals or driving force. As a hospital doctor, the basic duty would be treating patients and fulfilling on-call shifts, but specific motivation lacks textual support.
- Arc
- As a supporting character, Dr. Wang is only mentioned indirectly once (as the person whose shift was swapped), so there is no growth or transformation arc to describe.
- Background
- Dr. Wang is a hospital doctor who was originally scheduled to be on duty today but swapped shifts with the colleague 'Li Xuan'. Beyond this, the material provides no further background such as family or origin.
Director Xu
- Personality
- The material says little about his temperament; from his discussion of management fee matters with Su Xingchuan, one may infer a client mindful of commercial interests and methodical in handling affairs.
- Motivation
- His core drive centers on the matter of management fees within a business relationship, aiming to reach an arrangement on the relevant costs that is favorable or reasonable to him.
- Arc
- His appearances in the material are very limited, featuring only as a client discussing management fees, so no full-book growth or transformation can be shown; his role leans toward that of a functional supporting character advancing the relevant plot.
- Voice
- The material offers little of his direct dialogue, but from his role as a client negotiating management fees, one may infer a pragmatic, to-the-point manner of speaking focused on costs and terms of cooperation.
- Background
- Director Xu is a client of Su Xingchuan who, together with Xu Zhengdong, discusses management fee matters with her; no further details of his identity, occupation, or family background are provided in the material.
