Background / History

Childhood Relationship and Engagement

Lu Cheng grew up with the original Xu Qingran and became his boyfriend. Their relationship eventually ended, and Lu Cheng became engaged to Xu Qingran's younger half-brother, Xu Qing'an. Xu Qingran's apparent misconduct at their engagement banquet was staged by Xu Qing'an to damage his reputation among the guests and the Lu family 4 5 35.

Lu Cheng's father, Lu Wennian, was an authoritative professor at Grandis Medical College. He disliked Xu Qingran and was responsible for the cheating accusation that caused Xu Qingran's admission to be revoked 5.

Secret Soul-Matching Results

After turning eighteen, Xu Qing'an secretly tested his compatibility with Lu Cheng and publicized their 88% result. Later, shortly before their engagement, he arranged another private test through his aunt at Silver Dragon Joint Hospital. This revealed that Lu Cheng and the original Xu Qingran had 99% compatibility—a result not yet entered into the imperial database 8 11.

To conceal the higher match, Xu Qing'an enlisted Sister Yan to register Lu Cheng's sample under the code belonging to the abusive Boss Chen. Xu Qingran overheard the scheme and subsequently interfered with the records himself. Lu Cheng is not shown participating in these manipulations 10 11.

Red Maple Star Operations

During Silver Dragon's struggle to keep pace with Golden Wing's disaster-relief operations, Admiral Wei Feng assigned Lu Cheng to help resolve the public-opinion crisis in Red City. Wei Feng suggested that success could earn him a promotion and expressed hopes that he might eventually become supreme commander of both camps 14.

When Lu Cheng learned that Xu Qingran had been taken to the Evil Tower, he immediately tried to contact the institution. An emergency involving a squad in Red Maple Star's north city district 9 forced him to abandon the call and lead reinforcements instead. Medical staff later praised him for personally leading a separate operation in Red City's North District 3 14 28.

Attempted Retrieval from the Evil Tower

Lu Cheng eventually arrived at the Evil Tower visibly exhausted. He argued that the Xu Qingran he knew was afraid of insects and could not have violently attacked anyone. The staff, already familiar with Xu Qingran's survival of Tower 3's arena, found this description difficult to reconcile with his recent actions 29.

He intended to take Xu Qingran away, but arrived too late: someone sent by Shen Tingyu had already collected him. Learning that the Shen family was involved left Lu Cheng alarmed and confused 29.

Rejection by Xu Qingran

Lu Cheng followed Xu Qingran to Shen Tingyu's home, checked his injuries, and challenged Shen Tingyu's right to bring a Silver Dragon member into his household. Xu Qingran rejected his interference and questioned why someone engaged to his brother was still trying to control his associations 32 33.

Lu Cheng assumed that Xu Qingran was deliberately associating with Shen Tingyu because he was upset about the engagement. His attempt to coax Xu Qingran into leaving ended with a punch to the face and an explicit demand to stay away 33.

At the Xu family home, Lu Cheng again tried to stop Xu Qingran from moving in with his announced fiancé. He grabbed Xu Qingran's wrist and warned about premature intimacy, prompting Xu Qingran to pointedly invoke Lu Cheng's own involvement with Xu Qing'an. Lu Cheng also mistakenly believed that Xu Qingran's fiancé was Shen Tingyu 35.

Afterward, Lu Cheng explained his visit to Xu Qing'an and began treating him especially attentively. Alongside his official duties, he helped prepare their new home and offered to accompany him to collect his mother from the hospital 45.

Appearance

Lu Cheng has a handsome face, refined features, deep-set eyes, and an upright figure 32.

• Distinguishing feature: A beauty mark at the outer corner of his left eye 32.
• Uniform: An immaculate silver-and-black military outfit with a fitted long coat 32.
• Insignia: A substantial silver badge depicting a fierce dragon with its head and tail joined, slightly spread wings, and four sharp claws 32.

Personality

Lu Cheng is described as straightforward by nature. Having witnessed Shen Tingyu's cruelty, he cannot comfortably reciprocate the admiral's courteous public manner and regards it as a mask. Despite being promoted as a comparable talent, he openly acknowledges that he still has far to go before reaching Shen Tingyu's level 14 33.

His concern for Xu Qingran persists after their breakup, but is bound to an outdated image of him as fragile, gentle, and prone to tears. He regards their childhood bond as family-like and interprets Xu Qingran's rejection as anger over his engagement rather than accepting it at face value 29 33 35.

With Xu Qing'an, Lu Cheng emphasizes responsibility toward his future partner. After the conflict over Xu Qingran, he becomes more attentive and takes on practical preparations for their shared home and Xu Qing'an's family needs 45.
