Background

Dai Yichen died from overwork and staying up late in his previous life, then reincarnated into the Star Luo Imperial Family. At the age of three, he gradually recovered those memories and realized he had been born into the lethal succession struggle of the Star Luo Empire as its Fourth Prince. Princes who lost the imperial competition could be stripped of cultivation and exiled—or killed. 1

Knowing Zhu Zhuqing was traditionally expected to become Dai Mubai’s fiancée, Dai Yichen negotiated with Emperor Dai Yutian: if he awakened the White Tiger Martial Soul and possessed greater Innate Soul Power than Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing would be allowed to choose her own engagement. He instead awakened the unprecedented White Tiger Psychic Lock, but his Innate Full Soul Power and armament ability convinced Dai Yutian to permit him to compete for both the throne and Zhu Zhuqing’s hand. 1 2

The Diary System bound to him immediately after his awakening. Its rewards, cultivation methods, soul rings, Psychic Locks, and other resources enabled Dai Yichen to develop far beyond ordinary Soul Master standards. He later used this influence to recruit allies, support talented commoners, establish the White Tiger Guard, and promote Spirit Pagodas and Soul Spirit Contracts as alternatives to killing soul beasts for rings. 1 161 273 312

Appearance

Dai Yichen has short flowing golden hair and a handsome face. 82

• His White Tiger Armament manifests as silver-white armor. 36 107
• His armored form includes a White Tiger Helmet with blue goggles. 36
• Tiger’s Roar God is a summoned white tiger mecha-like combat form controlled from within rather than a conventional beast-type Martial Soul Avatar. 307

Personality

Dai Yichen is calculating and future-oriented. His knowledge from his previous life leads him to plan around the imperial succession, cultivate strategic alliances, invest in talented companions, and pursue institutional reforms rather than relying solely on noble bloodlines. 1 161 273

He is also highly confident in battle. The White Tiger Psychic Lock amplifies his Battle Intent as a fight continues, making him increasingly aggressive and difficult to intimidate; however, he can remain composed enough to avoid needlessly harming an opponent, as shown when he redirected Dugu Yan’s poison rather than returning it at her. 44 45 108

Despite his pragmatism, Dai Yichen is protective of people he considers his own. His desire to keep Zhu Zhuqing from suffering her original fate motivates many of his early choices, while his dealings with Dugu Bo and the soul beasts show that he values long-term trust and cooperation. 1 159 270
