Xi Xia

Xia Xi is an introverted and anti-social girl. Her boyfriend dumped her in high school, because she was "so uninteresting," and he told her she was so ugly, he had to have been blind when they started dating. Due to the reaction she often got from her appearance, she fell in love with the gaming world--where she could be a beautiful goddess. As she claims, "MAG (manga, anime, games) is easier to interact with."

In-game, she is known as Xi'er the Goddess. Her love interest in-game is a player called Ziye. One day, Ziye tells Xi'er, "I am unable to accept seeing you in-game only, so I bought the tickets that'll take me to your city tomorrow." In response, Xi'er tells him not to come, because she looks very different in reality. Ziye coaxes her to accept by stating that their deep love for each other only matters within one's soul and personality, "appearance isn't important at all!"

They meet in real life, and Xiaxi realizes Ziye's real-world counterpart isn't good looking either, so she calms down a bit. At the end of their date, he asks Xiaxi where they can rent a room, and asks her to stay with him that night. The next morning, Xiaxi wakes up to find him gone. She checks her phone, and sees the videogame chat room feed, where Ziye has posted a picture of her IRL and said that he slept with her. Following this, other players that had previously been Xi'er fans were commenting hatefully towards her, and they showed pity for Ziye since he had to sleep with such an ugly girl.

Overcome with emotions, Xiaxi picks up a box-cutting knife and thinks, "The dream has ended. Therefore, there is no need to be alive." She cuts her wrist and in her final moments she makes a wish, "I hope in the next life, I could become a real 'goddess'."
