Xie Li felt that her beauty was not an issue, but the real problem was that she not only saw herself as beautiful—she also looked down on everyone else. She always thought others were not as attractive as her or as fashion-savvy.
Unbeknownst to her, others saw her pale, flaky complexion and blood-red lips as repulsive; other teachers would avoid her, thinking it was her superior "Qi" that intimidated them.
As Xie Li got progressively worse, to prevent her from scaring the students, she was eventually transferred to the administrative office to keep her away from frontline teaching positions.
However, the more she was restrained, the more presumptuous Xie Li became.
Such a personality meant that she couldn't find a boyfriend in real life and could only feign sophistication online to gain some presence.
The more she acted out, the more her office colleagues distanced themselves. With no one to warn her, Xie Li was oblivious to how much of an oddity she had become.
