Gender: Female
Age: 28
Occupation: Antique store owner / Food critic / Udon shop owner

Character:
She comes from a wealthy family, lives in happiness like a princess, does things without any further consideration, pays attention to lifestyle, always show people her most perfect side. She’s civic-minded, kind-hearted but often uses the wrong way of expression, she becomes the troublemaker instead. She has a strong self-esteem, after her family fortunes declined, she’s still keen on face-saving, she believes that one day this misfortune princess will be able to turn over!

Background:
Kiong Kwiong was brought up in a wealthy family since childhood and is loved dearly by her parents, she sees her happiness as naturally. Although her parents looked impressive on the outside, but due to a mistake in investments, they owed huge debts that they were unable to pay back. The two concealed this from their daughter and ran away to escape the debts. Kiong Kwiong was completely in the dark all the time, until one day, she realized she was bequeathed by her parents. At the same time, she also found out that she’s actually her parents’ adoptive daughter!

Encounters
It turns out that Kiong Kwiong’s biological parents are overseas Chinese with a Japanese nationality. Because her father was an excessive drinker, her mother ran away from home with their two-years-old Kiong Kwiong. Sadly, her mother later died due to an acute disease. That time a wealthy couple without children just visited Japan as tourists. They encountered this lonely girl, thus they adopted her as daughter.

Kiong Kwiong lost her parents and living trust in one night, she also lost her identity. Luckily Yu Ji Yeng who she just met helped her solve her troubles, Ji Yeng even suggested her to live in his house, this way she was at least not as helpless and homeless. Kiong Kwiong had to adapt to the ordinary life of civilians which is not that easy. Ji Yeng took on the role of coach without hesitation, he had to educate Kiong Kwiong how to live a “civilian’s life”. This way, Ji Yeng accompanied Kiong Kwiong in her life’s most difficult days.

Ji Yeng would participate in a sushi competition and Kiong Kwiong followed him to Japan. Unexpectedly, this trip let her encounter Mou Yung Ching again, who is a strange tempered buyer at a fish market. Ji Yeng wanted to win the competition and asked Mou Yung Ching to be his master, but Mou Yung Ching strongly refused to accept any pupils. Kiong Kwiong did everything she could to convince him. During this course of events, Mou Yung Ching found out she’s actually his biological daughter.

After Mou Yung Ching got to know about Kiong Kwiong’s hated towards her biological father for being an excessive drinker back then and causing their family to be ruined and broken, he did not dare to tell her their true relation. However, Ji Yeng got to know this inadvertently. As a result, Mou Yung Ching agreed with accepting Ji Yeng as his pupil. Kiong Kwiong did not know that all this is because Mou Yung Ching is mindful of their father-daughter relation. After Kiong Kwiong finds out their relation, she couldn’t be released of the fact that her father caused her mother to die. Luckily, under Ji Yeng’s thoroughgoing pulling, Kiong Kwiong could also understand how Mou Yung Ching blamed himself over the years. Eventually she forgave him, the father and daughter reconciled.

Later, when Ji Yeng and Ji Hiu became enemies, Ji Yeng was demoralized. Kiong Kwiong did everything she could to help him return his fighting will. Yet she refused to admit her affection for Ji Yeng, and insisted that her relation with Ji Yeng can at most be called ‘more than friends, less than lovers’ only. This is because she always had a superficial and silly thought: only an outstanding young talent could match with her. Moreover she knows that in Ji Yeng’s heart Choi Shi Lung is his crush. She could only leave this love at the bottom of her heart, and be brother-sister with Ji Yeng.

I may not have Internet access for the next couple of days cos I am shifting house again, so updates may not be done till I can access to the net. And because of this, I have decided to extend the activity “Talent Showdown” till 19 December, GMT +8. Hopefully I will have Internet access by then.
