Female protagonist, a programmer who graduated from university and joined a gaming company. Initially promised a 9-to-6 schedule with alternating weekends and 8k starting pay, she faced a brutal 996 work regime from day two. She refused to comply, leaving at 6 p.m. sharp, which earned her resentment from coworker Yang Haiyi. After solving a major game bug that no one else could fix, she was officially hired with a post-probation salary of 12.8k, higher than Yang Haiyi's. Pragmatic, observant, and quick-thinking, she survived the Category 20 hurricane by noticing safehouse doorknob patterns, using wind direction to her advantage, and rolling into the road to vanish into a manhole-cover safehouse. She has a cleanliness obsession and avoids using the cellar's facilities. Inside her safehouse, she carries a backpack with a notebook, tissues, water, braised eggs, mooncakes, milk, a high-capacity power bank, and sanitary pads. She monitors group chats for information while waiting out the eight-hour disaster.
