Background and History
Lu Xianchang was brought into the Lu household shortly after Lu Changfeng’s birth, with Old Master Lu presenting the boys as twins. As children, Xianchang looked after Changfeng and secretly brought him a game console. Their relationship later fractured; seeing Changfeng brings back bloody memories that can leave Xianchang unable to move or speak normally. Therapy did not resolve his reactions 33 34 39.
After Shen Yu’s kidnapping, Xianchang went to Changfeng to seek help rescuing him. Xianchang subsequently remained by Changfeng’s side, and the Lu Family arranged a banquet to acknowledge his return 19 32 41.

- His eyes are usually gentle and lively, but lose their color during his traumatic reactions to Changfeng 34 38.
Personality
Xianchang is protective and affectionate toward Shen Yu, whom he treats as a younger brother. He can also be teasing and outspoken: he mocks Luo Ningsang’s delight over a brotherly nickname and openly criticizes the decision to arrange counseling for Shen Yu without telling him 6 11 13 14.
His concern for Shen Yu can bring out a fierce temper. After finding him with He Lin, Xianchang punched He Lin and demanded to know what he had done. He later struggled over whether to tell Luo Ningsang, weighing Shen Yu’s safety against his wish for more freedom 38 39.

Lu Family Reunion
Shen Yu visited Xianchang at the Jinglan Imperial Residence and offered to help him leave, but Xianchang said staying was his choice. Afterward, Xianchang sought Shen Yu out to make sure he took his medicine 33 34.
Xianchang and Changfeng found Shen Yu after He Lin had drugged him. Xianchang attacked He Lin, tended Shen Yu’s injuries, and agreed to keep the incident from Luo Ningsang after Changfeng offered Shen Yu protection.
