Focus on: Cheng Xinyan

[extrapenguin]

Cheng Xinyan is a doctor at Dragon City First Hospital and a university friend of Shen Wei's. She's first seen in episode 21, trying to help cure Zhao Yunlan's eyes, and is a recurring character in the latter half of the series. In episode 23, we get introduced to Zu Ma, a Dixingian whom she considers to be just like a little brother. Later on, she helps the injured people on the street during Ye Zun's invasion, despite opposition from the hospital higher-ups.


Happy that her friend is happy, and not planning to drug anyone's coffee yet.

Discussion starters:
1. Do you think she knew Shen Wei was Dixingian? If not, how do you think she'd react to finding out? Did she ever suspect?

2. How do you think she met Zu Ma? She says he's like a brother to her – how did that come about? Was she a friend of his parents', or did she only meet him after they'd died?

3. What do you think of her relationships with her colleagues?

4. What do you think she ended up doing post-canon? Did she stay in her job, or take on new responsibilities?

She's not that frequent a character in fanworks, but here are a few fics:
