Background / History

Lu Fan spent roughly twenty years with a slow, muddled mind. After his parents died, his uncles and cousins swindled away the Lu Clan shares and assets placed in his name. His sister became disappointed in him and moved to Magic City, leaving his aunt, Lu Fanghua, as his primary protector and source of support. 1 2 15

At Dragon University, Lu Fan’s reputation as an easily exploited “idiot” made him a public ATM. At least sixty percent of the university’s students had borrowed money from him, and his classmates regularly invented emergencies to take his money. His aunt arranged for him to have a private faculty-style dormitory and protected him through her position as the university principal. 1 4

After Qin Shousheng deceives him out of 2,132 yuan, the Never Be Deceived System activates. Its automatically administered Intelligence-Opening Pill restores Lu Fan’s mental clarity, allowing him to recognize the extent of his exploitation and begin using his foolish reputation strategically. Qin’s fabricated story immediately becomes real when his father genuinely suffers the injury he claimed, confirming the system BUG’s effect. 1

Lu Fan’s recovery changes his priorities from passive trust to accumulating system points, exploiting scammers, reclaiming his wealth, and pursuing revenge against those who profited from his former condition. 2 10 15

Appearance

Before recovering, Lu Fan was already tall, well-built, and handsome, but his unfocused eyes and foolish manner obscured those qualities. The Intelligence-Opening Pill gives him clear eyes and a sharper, sunnier presence. 1 6

Following cultivation, his appearance changes dramatically.

• Grows from just over 1.7 meters to over 1.8 meters tall. 45 48
• Develops defined muscles and eight-pack abs without an exaggerated build. 48
• Undergoes repeated Marrow Cleansing, leaving his skin fairer and more radiant. 48 50
• Gains an ethereal aura that makes him appear unusually charismatic and approachable. 48 50
• Usually presents himself with a smug or deliberately foolish grin when manipulating others. 10 24

Personality

Lu Fan begins as genuinely trusting, absent-minded, and unable to recognize obvious exploitation. Once his intelligence returns, he becomes calculating and frequently preserves his “idiot” persona because others continue to underestimate him. He will knowingly cooperate with transparent scams when doing so earns system points or activates the BUG. 1 6 11 24

He is highly vindictive toward people who deceived or humiliated him, especially Liu Ruyan, Zhu Yiqun, Lu Ming, and the classmates who exploited his wealth. His revenge can be cold and humiliating, though he also shows restraint when he believes losing his temper would put him at a disadvantage. 12 13 18 45

Lu Fan is extravagant with money around Liu Mengran and her roommates, using gifts, cash, meals, and phones to gain favor. He can be shameless, crude, and disrespectful toward authority, but he also acts protectively when Liu Mengran is bullied or when Liu Ruyan is threatened by others. 7 26 28 31 37
