Yulissa Jin/Relationships

## Siha Gu/Luna Ke

Siha and Yulissa met eight years ago, when they were seven or eight years old. Yulissa, having to suppress her musical talent in order to get close to her classmates, was in awe with Siha's brilliant voice and piano skill. She then challenged Siha into a music combat, which grown into a duet. The two girls then packed bond and quickly became close friends. When asked what was her motivation for practicing so hard, Siha talked about her dream and declared that she considered Yulissa the best friend on this world. Yulissa got so emotional at the words, she decided to make it her dream too.

After Simona Gu's scandal, Siha was relentlessly bullied, and Yulissa was the only person on her side at that time. She reassured Siha with their promise to always stay beside each other, but Siha cried and said she had to leave the city. Despite getting separated, they still think of each other often. Yulissa tried contacting Siha by writing her letters, but Simona hid them all. They only got revealed after her death.

Siha and Yulissa meet again in the selection round of Supernova. Even though she is currently using the "Luna Ke" identity, Yulissa still recognizes her from the first glance. Siha denies this, but they still befriend each other again. In the next few rounds, Yulissa tries to confirm that Luna is Siha, while the other tries to hide it. Before the regionals end, Siha finally decides to admit the truth to Yulissa. They spend the rest of the contest together, always being by each other's side, helping each other to go to the finals. When Siha is eliminated, Yulissa is very unwilling to say goodbye to her. Siha has to reassure her before they part ways. A short while later, as one of the three remaining contestants, Yulissa is allowed to choose one previously eliminated opponent to accompany her. She uses this choice to bring Siha back to the stage for one final song.

In the future visions, Siha and Yulissa have a very strong and lasting friendship, along with Ivy Ye.

## Sophy Ling

Yulissa and Sophy have quite an up-and-down relationship, bouncing between friends and rivals. They first met in the selection round of Supernova. After realizing that she's only second place, Sophy demanded to know who was Yulissa, apparently interested to finally meet someone in her level. They became friendly in the next round until the voting section, when Sophy voted for Yulissa and told her about her intention to have a real battle. This upset Yulissa, who thought they were friends. Despite this, they still seem to get along fairly well, as Sophy is often included in the Siha-Yulissa-Ivy trio. When Sophy had the revival battle with Yulissa, she tried to hug the former crying from the imminent separation, while Sophy comforted and encouraged her.

Having contrasting personalities and ideology, Yulissa and Sophy frequently headbutted each other. Sophy would confront Yulissa's naivety and simplicity, and in reverse, Yulissa would argue against her practrical way of thinking. This helped both of their growth, as seen in Sophy's inner monologue in chapter 278, Yulissa's performance in chapter 314-315 and their duet in chapter 300-302.

## Rudy Wen

Yulissa and Rudy used to be in the same elementary school, along with Siha. Rudy was enamored with Yulissa and always tried to pick on Siha for being too close to her, which Yulissa chewed him out for. After Siha left, he shielded Yulissa from other students' bullying antics. The two became good friends after that. Rudy went to secondary school in America, but despite the distance, the two stayed close. He comes back to China for high school, becoming Yulissa's school mate.

After Supernova started, Yulissa slowly realizes she might have feelings for Rudy. In his birthday party, he confesses and kisses her, but his confession got rejected. Later, Rudy goes back to America while Yulissa continues with the competition. In her quarterfinals round, Yulissa dedicates her song, "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" to Rudy as her way to confess. Though, despite their mutual feelings, she doesn't intent to get together with him, and instead wants to focus on her idol career.
