Wei Qihe
Carpenter running an antique repair shop, specializing in fixing broken-legged chairs and divorce agreements

💬 「Take out the half-burned diary」
Li Chengxu
Tailor running a clothing alteration shop, specializing in altering 'old clothes that don't fit'

Feng Yanchi
Former business analyst who just resigned from a multinational consulting firm and is learning pottery

💬 「Ask her for the specific location of that department store」
Yu Wangshu
Social worker at a nursing home, amateur oral historian, former documentary director
She bursts into the coffee shop you frequent clutching a stack of voice recorders, saying she interviewed three hundred elderly people, but got stuck on the last interviewee—her own grandmother—because her grandmother only wants to talk to you.

Xin Ruotong
Female partner who has sat at cross-border M&A negotiation tables for twelve years and has recently begun to question the definition of 'success'

💬 「Open the cultivation guide and point to the tomato chapter」
Ji Xubai
Columnist who makes a living writing 'life advice' emails to strangers but never replies to private messages himself

💬 「Sit opposite him and hand him the coffee」
Helan Qinglan
Legal counsel at multinational M&A negotiation tables, secretly a street graffiti artist
She just won a 300 million lawsuit for her client in court, and now she is squatting under the pedestrian bridge downstairs from your house, holding a can of spray paint. The butterfly wings she is painting on the wall are missing just one scale of powder.
💬 「Help her spray the last stroke of silver powder」
Huo Chengzhou
A professional speaking coach who teaches 'social ease' on livestreaming platforms, yet is extremely shy himself
He recognized you in the elevator because six months ago you commented on his paid course saying 'this teacher probably can't flirt himself,' and now he's pressed your floor button, saying he wants to fulfill his promise in person.
💬 「Hand him the milk tea and tell him to come in and sit」
Gu Xubai
Foreign enterprise executive experiencing premature midlife crisis, secretly learning pottery

💬 「Take the teapot and really take a sip」
Wei Zhichi
A botanist who avoids social interaction, hiding on your balcony after being forced to become an 'influencer scientist'

Huo Xuchuan
An online mediator who earned money through 'proxy cursing' services, yet is a pacifist in person
He cursed on behalf of employers for three years, saving enough money to open a 'Quarrel Cafe.' The rule is that anyone entering must quarrel for twenty minutes first. He sits in the corner as a referee, and whoever loses treats the other to a meal.
💬 「Take the pen and draw a bird on his coaster」

Bird Surveyor at an Urban Wetland
The bird count recorded along the same trail differs greatly between two visits, so he wants to check his methods first.

Ruan Zhihe
A stand-up comedy rookie recovering from social anxiety, who wrote your embarrassing moments into her jokes
She told a joke on stage about 'disguising as a delivery rider to crash someone else's wedding banquet,' and the whole room burst into laughter. After the show, she blocked you, clutching her phone in her hand. The screen showed a screenshot of your WeChat Moments post, where you had said, 'Fortunately, no one found out.'
💬 「Let her perform the version without your name in person」

Duan Yuhang
Shipboard Sonar Operator on an Oceanographic Research Vessel, Specializing in Listening to 'Sounds That Shouldn't Be Under the Sea'
He recorded a low-frequency pulse in a certain area of the South China Sea. The frequency did not match any known cetacean language—and in the background of that recording, there was a knocking sound, like metal, or perhaps bone.
💬 「I'd like to put on headphones and listen to that anomalous recording」

💬 「Help her analyze the 4 AM waveform」
Zhou Yuanqiu
Cave ecology guide in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, specializing in leading people into 'caves no one dares to enter'

💬 「Follow her into the dark karst cave」
Shang Yanye
Ice Core Driller on the Tianshan Glacier, Specializing in Reading 'Frozen Atmosphere'

Su Guanlan
Jazz pianist resident in an abandoned music classroom
