Background

Shao Yuan grew up with Bai Ge and remained his closest friend into adulthood. When Bai Ge collapsed, Shao Yuan paid his hospital deposit and explained the alarming MRI results, believing that Bai Ge had an atypical, terminal brain tumor. He urged Bai Ge to remain hospitalized for further examinations and offered his savings despite his own limited means 2.

Convinced that Bai Ge required money for treatment, Shao Yuan sought to borrow a large sum from Wang Qian. Wang instead coerced him into performing illegal organ-harvesting operations for the Tianwang criminal syndicate. Shao Yuan performed more than forty surgeries over two months, earning 600,000 yuan, before Wang Qian demanded that he remove a captive victim’s vital organs and threatened him with a knife 35.

After being forced into murder, Shao Yuan killed Wang Qian with sodium cyanide and attempted to dissolve the body in aqua regia. Bai Ge intervened, erased evidence, impersonated Wang Qian, and constructed a case that exposed Tianwang Company while presenting Shao Yuan’s organ-harvesting as coerced. Shao Yuan surrendered his illicit earnings, gave statements to police, and avoided punishment 35 37 38.

Bai Ge later disclosed the existence of containment items and brought Shao Yuan into containment work. During their investigation of Han Rui, Shao Yuan proved useful in surveillance, hacking, and medical analysis. After Han Rui’s death, he voluntarily accepted the Sterility Ring’s permanent cost in exchange for viral perception and control 39 40 43.

Personality

Shao Yuan is intensely loyal to Bai Ge. His decision to seek money from Wang Qian originated from his belief that Bai Ge needed life-saving treatment, and he was willing to risk debt and criminal involvement for that purpose 35. He later joins Bai Ge’s containment work after learning its dangers rather than withdrawing from it 39 43.

His medical curiosity has a disturbing edge. Shao Yuan admits that he enjoys human dissection more than animal dissection and feels restless when he cannot use a scalpel, though he initially rationalized his illegal surgeries as safer than allowing unqualified people to perform them 35. This fixation continues in his enthusiasm for virology, containment-item research, and virus cultivation 44 362.

He is also practical about personal sacrifice. Shao Yuan accepts permanent sterility as an acceptable price for the ring’s abilities, stating that viral control matters more to him than having a girlfriend 43.

Abilities & Skills

Surgery and Medical Knowledge

Shao Yuan is a trained surgeon and former medical-university student with detailed anatomical knowledge.

• Performed more than forty organ-removal operations for Tianwang Company 35.
• Could skillfully remove a kidney after only limited human-dissection practice 35.
• Initially identified the abnormal shadow in Bai Ge’s MRI scans and recognized that it required further testing rather than a definitive diagnosis 2.

Virology and Biological Research

After acquiring the Sterility Ring, Shao Yuan develops into a specialist in viral research.

• Collected more than two hundred viral types from hospital patients in a single day 44.
• Recombined influenza-virus genetic material to create more dangerous strains, including the Source One Virus 44.
• Eventually possessed medical, biological, and virological knowledge comparable to that of the Sadio Civilization 362.

Sterility Ring

The ring grants Shao Yuan the ability to perceive, transfer, manipulate, and cultivate viruses.

• Can identify people by uncommon viruses within his perceptual range, allowing him to track targets even after losing sight of them 49 55.
• Can transfer viruses through physical contact; gloves are required to prevent accidental infection 44 47.
• Its permanent side effect makes its bearer sterile and initially risks viral damage to his immune system 43 362.
• By his Immortal stage, Shao Yuan can contain the virus within his own body and is effectively immune to its harmful effects 362.

Hacking and Investigation

Bai Ge trains Shao Yuan to use advanced hacking tools during containment operations.

• Hacked a property-management system to identify Han Rui and obtain the layout of his villa complex 40.
• Retrieved personal, financial, browsing, and medical information to help identify containment-item holders 40 51.
• Tracked Bai Ye’s phone within minutes when she failed to answer Bai Ge’s calls 47.

Magic

Shao Yuan undergoes Bai Ge’s magic-awakening ritual and gains an unusually large mana reserve.

• His initial mana is described as second only to Bai Ge’s 102.
• Practices spells alongside Blue White Society Transcenders 131.

Equipment

• Sterility Ring — containment item that enables viral perception and control at the cost of permanent sterility 43.
• Electromagnetic rifle — a detachable, low-recoil weapon built by Bai Ge for Shao Yuan’s self-defense; its ten-shot battery requires recharging 45.
• Bai Ge’s hair strand — functions as an emergency battery for the electromagnetic rifle when charged 45.
• Computer and hacking tools — used for surveillance, database intrusion, and containment investigations 39 40.

Relationships

• Bai Ge — Childhood friend, “brother,” and closest partner. Shao Yuan paid his hospital bills, risked himself to fund his presumed treatment, and later joined his containment work 2 35 39.
• Bai Ye — Bai Ge’s younger sister. Shao Yuan treats her as family and covertly helped arrange opportunities for her through the Blue White Society; neither holds romantic feelings for the other 618.
• Wang Qian — Criminal-syndicate leader who exploited Shao Yuan’s surgical skill and forced him into organ harvesting. Shao Yuan ultimately killed him after Wang Qian escalated his coercion 35.
• Han Rui — Containment-item holder targeted in Xuancheng. After Han Rui’s death, Shao Yuan claimed and began using his Sterility Ring 42 43.

Story Role / Major Arcs

False Terminal Diagnosis

Shao Yuan acts as the bearer of Bai Ge’s apparent diagnosis, sincerely believing the brain-hole anomaly is a massive terminal tumor. He presses Bai Ge to accept treatment and worries over his refusal to spend money on himself 2.

Tianwang Company Incident

His attempt to save Bai Ge financially brings him under Wang Qian’s control. The resulting organ-harvesting operation, Wang Qian’s death, and Bai Ge’s evidence fabrication force Shao Yuan to confront both his criminal conduct and his attraction to dissection 35 38.

Formation of the Containment Team

Shao Yuan becomes Bai Ge’s first long-term containment partner after being introduced to the Foundation, containment items, and Bai Ge’s public cover story for his powers 39. He contributes surveillance and hacking support during the Han Rui operation 40 42.

Sterility Ring Research

By accepting the Sterility Ring, Shao Yuan becomes the team’s biological specialist. He builds a virus-research laboratory in Bai Ge’s factory, collects pathogens, creates new viral strains, and learns to apply the ring safely 43 45.

Blue White Society Researcher

As the Blue White Society expands, Shao Yuan continues supporting field operations through viral tracking and biological analysis. After attaining immortality, he refines his use of the Sterility Ring and pursues increasingly advanced virus research 49 55 362.

Trivia

• Shao Yuan’s clinic is simply named Shao Yuan Clinic 13.
• He is nicknamed “Veterinarian” because he practiced dissections on animal carcasses at home before operating on humans 2 35.
• Bai Ge once believed Shao Yuan would be a likely romantic match for Bai Ye, but both of them only regard each other as family 618.
