Fu Yanzhi

Biodata

Background / History

The Original Fu Yanzhi

The body's original owner was switched at birth by Wang Ying, who substituted her own child into the wealthy Fu Family. When the stolen infant fell ill, Wang Ying abandoned him. Her older sister found and raised him without knowing the circumstances of the switch 12.

He grew up in a happy household until his younger brother drowned during the summer when he was twelve. He then learned that he was adopted. His mother blamed him for the death and suffered a mental breakdown, while his father began drinking heavily and beating him. A year later, traffickers abducted him while he was buying alcohol for his father 5.

In captivity, he formed a family with the other kidnapped boys and repeatedly took beatings for them. After one failed escape, he accepted a beating rather than strike his brothers, losing consciousness from his injuries. When Bo Qing later stole the warehouse key, Fu Yanzhi organized another escape 2 3.

During the pursuit, he hid Feng Yunxiao and drew Skinny away. He refused to reveal the boy's hiding place and was stabbed in the chest, dying while thinking of his younger brother 3.

Transmigration and a New Household

An assassin from another world subsequently awakened in Fu Yanzhi's body after binding to System 127. He accepted a mission to help the novel's villains grow up healthy and took responsibility for the children who regarded him as their eldest brother. The system confirmed that his new body retained his former body's physical attributes and skills 5 6.

At the hospital, he promised Bo Qing protection and help avenging his parents. He also agreed to keep Wen Shiming, the Kong twins, and Li Huanhuan with him. When Feng Canghai's assistant offered one million yuan in exchange for cutting ties with Feng Yunxiao, Fu Yanzhi threw the bank card back and ordered him out 5 6.

He began earning money through underground fighting. After rescuing Qiao Jingxing from street thugs, he met the old man's daughter, Qiao Shuyan. She gifted him a villa, then adopted him and his brothers so they could obtain household registrations and attend school. Fu Yanzhi intended to adopt the younger boys himself once he reached adulthood 7 8 9 10.

Revenge and Financial Independence

Fu Yanzhi initially refused to resume contract killing, arguing that he should not stain the original owner's body with blood. After learning about the birth swap, however, he decided to avenge him. He infiltrated the Fu residence through a delivery truck, killed Wang Ying with a dagger, fought his way past the household staff, and escaped Hua City 11 12.

System 127 rewarded the mission with twenty million yuan restricted to investment. Fu Yanzhi invested ten million in Mingsheng Technology and offered the remaining ten million as an investment in Qiao Shuyan's company. His support for Mingsheng drew Feng Canghai's attention and prompted an intimidation campaign 13 14.

Attacks and the Black Dragon Way

When Wen Shiming was kidnapped, Fu Yanzhi followed an anonymous message to an abandoned factory. He initially overwhelmed the attackers but surrendered when their leader held a knife to Wen Shiming's throat. After being beaten and bound, he escaped his restraints and pushed his brother through the locked exit as a burning beam fell on him. He survived, though his injuries required continued treatment 15 16 20.

Still recovering, he learned that Feng Yunxiao had been expelled from the Feng household after a marrow-matching test exposed his parentage. Fu Yanzhi found him being attacked in a park, drove off the attackers, and brought him into the family permanently 20.

After subduing the assassin Zheng Long, Fu Yanzhi traced the attack to Wang Chen, leader of the Black Dragon Way. He defeated Wang Chen's armed men, confirmed that Feng Canghai had commissioned his murder, and killed Wang Chen. The gang's surviving members asked Fu Yanzhi to become their leader. He accepted on the condition that they abandon murder and arson and move into legitimate security work 22.

Conflict with the Fu Family

Fu Yanzhi knew that the Fu Family were the original owner's biological relatives but saw no reason to acknowledge them. His attempts to avoid the family failed when Fu Li repeatedly provoked him. At their banquet, he turned Fu Li's planned accusation against him by feigning illness and claiming Fu Li had pushed him 12 21 24.

He also targeted Chi Li after learning that Chi Tang had secured her release from police custody. He confronted Chi Li over her treatment of students, restrained her, and stabbed her hand 29.

Later, Fu Chengyuan learned that Fu Li had instigated another school confrontation. After Chi Tang pointed out Fu Yanzhi's resemblance to him, Fu Chengyuan decided to investigate 46.

Harbor City and Mianmian

Fu Yanzhi traveled to Harbor City to confront Jiang Dong's organization. Using the identity Liu Little Six, he entered the Cloud Summit Wine Pavilion as a waiter and gained Jiang Xi's attention. During initiation, he was ordered to stab what was presented as a sheep in a sack, only to discover a restrained child inside. The child's death left him deeply disturbed. Meanwhile, Number 1 System had severed his connection to System 127 30 31.

While accompanying Black Wolf on debt collection, Fu Yanzhi intervened to protect Mianmian. After Black Wolf shot her brother, he hid her in a rented home and claimed to have sold her. He promised revenge and planned to bring her back to Luo City as the family's youngest member, Little Eight 32 33.

His undercover identity was eventually exposed. Despite a gunshot wound, whipping, and imprisonment, he escaped his escorts and returned for Mianmian, unaware that he was being tracked. Li Ao later rescued him following a call from System 127 33 34 36.

After a week unconscious, Fu Yanzhi awakened from a dream in which Mianmian departed to reunite with her family. He left the hospital carrying her ashes in a ring and her little bear, then returned to Luo City and his brothers 36 37.

Supporting His Brothers' Futures

Fu Yanzhi supported his brothers' interests through lessons, equipment, and practical encouragement. He enrolled Kong Fanyue in piano instruction and Kong Fanxing in performing arts, encouraged Feng Yunxiao's business ambitions, and taught Li Huanhuan advanced computer skills 26 37 40.

He also continued defending them outside the home. He defeated Shui Miao Club's drug-enhanced fighter Black Dog and broke owner Wang Haisheng's arm after being threatened. At Wen Shiming's school, he recovered footage proving that teacher Wang Chenchen had altered an English test score, forcing the school to dismiss her and require a public apology 43 47.

Wen Shiming's closeness to Liu Xu worried him after System 127 identified Liu Xu as the novel's protagonist. Nevertheless, Fu Yanzhi protected both boys from bullies and school misconduct, then comforted Wen Shiming when Liu Xu abruptly left school 44 46 47 50.

Appearance

• Youthful features: Described as a boy whose face still retains traces of adolescent awkwardness 24.
• Slim build: His slight physique causes onlookers to underestimate his strength 37.
• Resemblance to Fu Chengyuan: Noticed by Fu Li and later by Chi Tang and Fu Chengyuan 21 46.
• Everyday clothing: Buys tracksuits for himself after leaving the hospital 8.

Personality

Fu Yanzhi is affectionate and indulgent toward his younger brothers. He cooks, offers physical reassurance, buys gifts suited to their interests, and insists that children should be allowed to enjoy themselves. His commitment extends beyond keeping them alive: he wants them to attend school, develop talents, and pursue their own dreams 10 23 26 37.

His protectiveness can become possessive. When Xiao Yuelan offers to take Bo Qing in, he welcomes her affection for the boy but firmly refuses to let anyone separate their family. He repeatedly reassures the children that they do not need to make themselves useful to avoid abandonment 9.

Toward enemies, he is calculating, mocking, and capable of severe violence. He uses torture to interrogate Zheng Long, kills Wang Chen, and deceives Fu Li rather than responding to every provocation with a straightforward fight. His initial refusal to kill in the borrowed body does not prevent him from later carrying out revenge 11 12 22 24.

Despite his confidence in combat, Fu Yanzhi dislikes banquets and being watched by strangers. He also struggles with whether to tell the children that their original eldest brother has died, fearing that they will be unable to accept the truth 17 24.
