Everyone ages, but not Yexiao. Ten years could pass by, and not a single part of her will change. She used to live with a family of three and spend time painting with the little girl. Unfortunately, the other villagers were scared of her unique trait and formed a mob to try to run her out of town,
The little girl rushed to defend Yexiao, leaving the child with a scar on her arm. Tearfully, the two of them said goodbye. So, Yexiao drifted from town to town, never staying longer than a few years at a time. And every time she left, her memories would fade. It was like starting over with the seasons, but it still hurt to let go of something so precious.
During one of her moves, she comes to Cloudcrest, to the home she currently stays in. An elderly lady lives there, too, and Yexiao finds contentment caring for her and painting the blossoms in the yard. Just as she is getting comfortable, a young man finds her and asks about her paintings. He mentions a legendary designer of old who would make similar paintings to Yexiao’s.
She worries that this man has figured out her secret. After he leaves, she packs her belongings and tries to leave. But the old lady falls ill, and while her last living child lives in town, she still needed attention. Yexiao decides to wait until the lady is better before leaving Cloudcrest.
Seasons change, but the old lady is still sick. When spring comes, the young man comes to call again. This time, he shows a painting that came from the same yard that Yexiao and the old lady live in. It’s not Yexiao’s painting, so that means it has to be the old lady’s.
But something in the painting is familiar. Memories resurface, and Yexiao asks to check the old lady’s arm. Sure enough, there is a scar there - the same scar the little girl had when she defended Yexiao from the angry mob.
This is that little girl! A hundred years have passed, and she is still here.
The young man knows, but he never had any attention of tattling on her. His name is Qin Yi, and he only wants her help in finding the Puzzle Solver. Otherwise, he leaves her alone.
Yexiao enjoys the rest of the season painting with the old lady in the yard.
Connections
-Qin Yi asks if Yexiao is the Puzzle Solver. In Vol. 1, you help Nikki find the Puzzle Solver to unlock the secret of Leonid’s Manuscript.
-This is not the first time Yexiao has had to deal with her immortality. In Mind Maze Ch. 5, she used to live in Banyan Town, which was a perfect village that lasted forever - until waters from the Ocean of Memories seeped through and slowly destroyed everything, except Yexiao.
-While the Yexiao we know was “born” on the Ark (and therefore can’t age or die by natural causes), we time travel to the past in the Dunhuang hell event and see Yexiao working for Queen Joyeux. This may very well be Yexiao’s “original self,” who could still age and change.
Fun Facts
-During the hell event, when Nikki and Momo collect wishes in Luming’s place, they find Yexiao’s wish. All she wants is to live a content life, to enjoy her life, and that nothing changes again.
-In Chinese symbology, peaches are tied to immortality.
-The old lady has severe dementia, which not only impacts your memory but disrupts certain behavioral patterns or functions. It’s why she gets stuck on certain “loops” like asking for someone’s parents or insisting she go outside to find someone.
This is my tumblr blog I run in my spare time. I’m a big fashion enthusiast, and I’ve been playing the nikki games for a very long time <3
This blog is a “daily” collection of my favorite suits from typically love nikki and shining nikki. Thanks for stopping by! Here’s a little bit about me.
My name is Odile, my birthday is May 25th, and I’m a Gemini! I’ve been playing shining nikki on and off since launch, and I don’t remember when I started love nikki. My favorite color is blue, and my favorite SN designers are Yexiao and Mercury.

Thank you again for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy~
this is a side blog where i post anything and everything related to my interest in dress-up games, from stylings and/or edits to any rambles or thoughts i have on events and sets! mostly focused on the two mentioned games but may include others at times :>
Jiang Xitong is in the middle of preparations for the upcoming moon festival. Everything has to be perfect and accurate. Then, she gets the news that, since the museum will be partnering with the Culture Bureau, there will be a promotional video for the mid-autumn festival in Cloudcrest.
And Xitong has to be in it.
She doesn't mind at first... until she reads the script. It jettisons history in favor of petty gossip: the Lunar Goddess and the Jade Rabbit have a love affair!
And Xitong is expected to talk about this stuff in the video.
Instead, she talks about legends and myths as colorful markers of history: no two eras have the same interpretation of myths. To add detail to her mini lecture, Xitong uses a flute on set to play one of her favorite songs about the Lunar Goddess.
When the video comes out, Xitong's part becomes a hit. Everyone now looks forward to the music at the festival. The video cut out the rest of her lecture, but the good news is it left out all the love affair nonsense.
And Xitong now has ideas for the rest of the festival planning.
Connections
-Qing Yumo works at the Culture Bureau, and she and Jiang Xitong do not get along. The one time they came close to agreeing was in Yumo's Reflection for Striking Beauty, where they commiserated over the fashion choice that everyone voted for.
-Jiang Xitong is a stickler for historical accuracy, but she also has a creative side. She and her sister, Jiang Beixi, play a poetry game together in her Reflection for Morning Blossoms.
-Xitong's grandma is a huge reason for her emphasis on tradition and history. Not only did she comfort her as a child and tell fantastic stories, but also because in the story for Wishes on the Cloud hell event, we learn that the Jiangs' grandma has dementia. Sticking close to history is a way for Xitong to stay connected to her grandma.
Fun Facts
-This was the first suit to include a flute. The second is Red Maiden, from Yueniang.
-When Jiang Xitong first saw the dress she had to wear for the promotional video, she doesn't know who made the "atrocious" design. Since this was a collab with the Culture Bureau, it might have been one of Qing Yumo's designs, since Xitong finds all of Yumo's suits ridiculous and mocking.
Some more Shining Nikki outfits! I missed doing my chapter-inspired outfits, but now that we have nails and makeup I wanted to incorporate that, so instead of doing a bunch of outfits in one post, I decided to do just a couple and include a face and nail shot. These are inspired by stage 4-1 (Nikki arrives in Cloudcrest for a spring flower festival, and there are no flowers because it's unseasonably cold) and 4-3 (Nikki confronts a person who seems like they're being controlled and frees them with her styling power).
