Xiao Ye joined the show mid-season, finding the other women had already formed close bonds, akin to partners or even family. She recalled feeling excluded by Liu Liu upon her arrival, questioning how such deep connections could form in just five days. The initial friction between Xiao Ye and Liu Liu on their second day together quickly escalated into arguments, which, paradoxically, led to them becoming closer and eventually developing a genuine friendship.

She confessed that her first reaction to Xiao Ye was, 'Who is this person?' However, as they spent more time together, they discovered surprising similarities in their backgrounds. This shared experience transformed their initial animosity into understanding and empathy.

The clash between these two formidable women was perhaps inevitable, given their strong personalities and past experiences.
