Xin was once an orphan from the Western Region. Her family, who lived by herding, was killed during a disaster in the area. Young Xin had nowhere to go and survived alone in the waste for several years. This experience honed her strong will and keen senses.
After the Bureau of Oversight & Integrity took control of the Western Region, Qing, who was performing official duties there, noticed Xin's excellent vision. Initially, the two clashed due to their contrasting personalities, but eventually, Xin accepted Qing's proposal and joined WeiShi.
To help Xin better integrate into CangLin City, Qing not only had her join WeiShi but also arranged for her to work at a street office near the Bureau of Oversight & Integrity, where she serves as a coordinator responsible for maintaining public order. Xin's self-reliant and assertive nature has left a deep impression on both lawbreakers and her colleagues.
Now, Xin is like a child stepping out of the wilderness and embracing the world for the first time. Although she is strong-willed, she is also full of anticipation for the outside world. CangLin City may just be a stop on her new life journey, and one day, Xin will find her true home.

The Red-Haired Stranger Reappears on the Streets: Hero or Villain?
Recently, the enigmatic "Fiery-Haired Phantom" has resurfaced on Fengnan Street! Known for appearing and vanishing without a trace, this mysterious figure, identifiable by its fiery red hair and remarkable agility, remains an enigma with an unknown name and affiliation. The Fiery-Haired Phantom has been particularly active lately, with numerous street residents reporting sightings. Our agency conducted exclusive interviews with some of these witnesses. Uncle Qian, a security guard: "Well, I heard someone shouting 'My wallet was stolen!', and immediately, a red blur darted forward. I didn't even see the thief's face before this unfortunate kid was dangling in the air like a chicken. I can still remember that blood-curdling scream..." Aunt Wang from the flower shop: "Last time, my cat Mimi climbed a tree and was too scared to come down. I called the street office for help, but before anyone arrived, that red figure flew from my balcony to the tree and brought the cat down. Mimi was fine, but my poor chrysanthemums on the balcony were nearly trampled into the soil." Nurse Luo: "That day, the Qi family's child had a high fever, and there was a major traffic jam. We had no choice but to seek help from the community. Shortly after we hung up the phone, the red-haired figure appeared, grabbed the child, and dashed to the hospital as if flying over roofs and walls, saving the day! The only issue is the families in those buildings are quite upset because you can still see shoe prints on their walls." All evidence suggests that while the Fiery-Haired Phantom performs good deeds, their actions are often reckless, causing significant trouble while helping residents. Some say he is from a foreign land, dedicated to acts of chivalry; others believe he is closely connected to the Bureau of Oversight & Integrity, always escaping unscathed from major incidents. Another theory claims he is just an unemployed wanderer, acting purely on whims. Regardless of the truth, our reporters will continue to follow this story, bringing readers the latest updates on the person behind the red hair.

To survive in the harsh wilderness of the Western Region, one must not only know how to extract resources from the barren land but also how to protect their food supply from the ever-changing weather. Without proper treatment, the hard-earned food would quickly spoil due to moisture and temperature fluctuations.
The food processing methods in the Western Region are quite unique. Locals often use boiling, fermenting, smoking, or drying techniques to make various ingredients into storable food. Xin learned these simple yet rugged cooking techniques from her parents at a young age, enabling her to survive in the wilderness for several years. Whether it was tree bark, wild fruits, insects, or weeds, Xin could turn them into edible dishes.
After arriving in CangLin City, despite having access to a variety of ingredients and stable preservation technology, Xin continued to use her simple and direct cooking methods from the wilderness, creating bizarre dishes from various ingredients.
"Stir-frying chili peppers with durian gives you a spicy and sweet flavor!"
"That wild herb is a bit bitter, so add some chocolate when you make a hot pot!"
Just hearing Xin talk about her recipes could send shivers down anyone's spine.
Surprisingly, while her dishes might look and smell terrible, they often tasted quite good. Xin compiled her experiences with different ingredients into a recipe book. According to her, the book records the flavors, toxicities, and cooking methods of over a hundred types of food. To outsiders, however, it appears to be a small booklet filled with doodles, short sentences, and misspellings.

As Qian steps into a new era, it places significant emphasis on public education. To date, Qian's education system covers everything from kindergarten to university graduation. The educational philosophy is that everyone should have equal access to education and the freedom to choose their own path.
Naturally, Xin, who is illiterate and lacks basic common sense, feels out of place in CangLin City. Helping Xin adapt to modern life has become a challenging task for Qing. Xin's basic knowledge is so lacking that she can't recognize simple alphabets, understand basic concepts, or even read or write her own name.
Qing initially considered enrolling Xin in a professional educational institution. However, the moment Xin saw the small chairs in the classroom and the children she would be studying with, she left without looking back. Besides providing education, Qing had to consider Xin's self-esteem as an overage student.
In the end, Qing decided to carve out time from her busy schedule to personally teach Xin to read and write. From literacy to etiquette, from history and mythology to natural science, Qing spared no effort in teaching her everything she deemed important or anything that piqued her interest.
Although the process was arduous, Xin gradually learned some basic words. However, due to Qing's busy schedule, these private lessons were often interrupted. Qing had to leave the study materials in Xin's room, encouraging her to study on her own after their sessions.
During her free time, Xin occasionally picked up the materials with confidence and tried to study on her own. However, more often than not, she would fall asleep within five minutes of opening the books.
