Background / History

Uncle Wu serves Jiang Junyi with longstanding loyalty, addressing him as “Young Master” and Wan Qingyun as “Young Madam.” He was already acquainted with Aunt Zhao during Jiang Junyi's childhood and is entrusted with caring for Jiang Junyi as he takes on the Jiang Family's responsibilities 8.

He provides Jiang Junyi with intelligence and logistical support, including locating the likely site of Wan Xiaoxiao's abduction through team analysis and surveillance footage, and purchasing a building overnight so Jiang Junyi could observe Lin Xiu in secret 12 19.

During the search for the ingredients of the Three Realms Eye formula, he was assigned to locate the Sky Tear Crystal and Earth Dragon Blood Amber alongside White Masked Gold Pattern personnel 74. He later accompanied Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun to Yamansu and Kuoik, where he investigated local hazards with Capricorn and prepared the group for sandstorms and separation 116 117 118.

His time in Kuoik brought him closer to Capricorn. Initially conflicted over their encounter and their age difference, he was encouraged by Jiang Junyi to speak honestly with her 126 140. After confronting Capricorn in a drinking contest, the two acknowledged their mutual attraction and began a relationship 142.

In Changhe City, Uncle Wu and Capricorn led the investigation into Sang Zhong, identifying him as hunter Wu Yong and coordinating the Imperial Guard and Six Doors in the operation to capture him 236 241.

Personality

Uncle Wu is professional, vigilant, and deeply devoted to Jiang Junyi's welfare. He readily handles intelligence, security, transportation, and sensitive errands, while remaining deferential to Jiang Junyi's final decisions 12 19 112.

He can be sentimental and emotionally expressive, particularly concerning Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun. He helped lure Wan Qingyun to Jiang Junyi by falsely reporting that the Young Master was ill, celebrated Wan Qingyun regaining her sight with tears, and secretly recorded the couple's confession for the Jiang Family group chat 65 78 89.

Despite his composure in danger, Uncle Wu becomes awkward and vulnerable around Capricorn. Following their time together, he briefly reacted to further leave with alarm, insisting that work was what made him happy 140 145.
