Background / History

Su Ye is the son of Su Xiaotian, whose disappearance left the Imperial Capital Su family's succession unsettled. Su Yi, Su Xiaotian's brother, took control of the family and pressured Su Ye to abandon his pregnant wife, Jiang Yuxiu—then known as Xiao Yuxiu—and marry Ye Xianfeng to cement an alliance with the Ye family. Su Ye refused and fled the Imperial Capital with Jiang Yuxiu, settling incognito in Shao City. 339 376

Before his disappearance from public life, Su Ye served as captain of the Thorn Squad. Mu Shengming, Ye Fangchun, and Old Pei regarded him as their leader; Su Ye repeatedly saved them during missions, and his former comrades searched for him for more than thirty years. 366 416

While raising Su Chen away from the capital, Su Ye secretly investigated Su Xiaotian's fate. He eventually learned that Su Xiaotian had entered the forbidden Boundless Mountain Range a century earlier and became determined to search for him personally. 377 694

Su Chen discovers that his father belongs to the Su family's direct line through Yan Zhengjun's background investigation. This revelation brings Su Ye's hidden past back into the open and reignites the Su and Ye families' decades-old conflict. 339 418

Appearance

Su Ye is noted for being exceptionally handsome even in his youth; as a teacher, he received love letters from female students and was remembered as the school's most handsome teacher. 440

After using Su Chen's rejuvenation medicine and cultivating the Five-page Body Tempering Golden Book, he appears to be around thirty-six despite his actual age. 693

• Maintains a youthful, well-groomed appearance after rejuvenation. 693
• Is protective of Jiang Yuxiu's appearance and dresses her in a shawl when he believes her qipao draws too much attention. 798
• Uses a cultivation method capable of concealing his martial aura, including after reaching the Extraordinary realm. 735

Personality

Su Ye is unwaveringly loyal to Jiang Yuxiu and refused both political pressure and violence rather than abandon her. His refusal to marry Ye Xianfeng cost him his place in the Su family, but he chose exile over betraying his wife and unborn son. 376

He is fiercely protective of his family. He intervenes when Ye Xianfeng challenges Jiang Yuxiu, blocks Ye Yuanchun from assisting Ye Haoyang during a duel, and withstands three Peak Grandmasters' pressure rather than accept the Ye family's demand that he take Ye Xianfeng. 351 422 488

Despite his strength and status, Su Ye values discretion. He lived under an assumed ordinary life for decades, hid his recovery after the Ye family's attack, and maintains secrecy around Su Chen's exceptional resources. 376 491 526

He also retains a humorous, self-preserving side in domestic life, quickly defusing conversations about his former admirers when Jiang Yuxiu is present. 440
