- Stepford Smiler: Qi Lin reveals that during her bubbly and excitable demeanor, she is a victim of self loathing and agrees with people who put her down.Qi Lin: Oh well, I’m know to be stupid short-tempered and ambitionless. Even the teacher says I can’t be saved! It’s not their fault. I don’t really like myself either anyway.
