Relationships
Hana Lee
Hana is Xinghai's daughter, whom he dotes on, such as taking her to see pandas when she was a child, which made her happy. When she was six or seven years old, he took her to the local zoo to see pandas for the first time. That trip made him realize how precious his time with his daughter was.
Lorelai Lee
Lorelai is Xinghai's wife.
Your Character
Xinghai is wary of your character at first because of the tabloids on her incident with Tariq. Depending on your choices, he can possibly warm up to you. This doesn't matter though when Hana stands up for herself during the Tea Ceremony, and he accuses you of being a bad influence. You are not able to win him over again until he and his wife attend your duchy's Lantern Festival, and only when Hana proves to them that she can help her family without being forced into marriage that they arrange.
Trivia
- Xinghai, like the rest of his family, will share the same last name as Your Character (America's Most Eligible) and Your Character (High School Story) if their default name is kept.
