Background

Su Ye is the son of Su Xiaotian, whose disappearance allowed Su Yi—Su Xiaotian's biological brother—to take control of the Imperial Capital's Su family. Su Ye had once been considered a possible future patriarch because of his exceptional talent. 339 376

Before leaving the Imperial Capital, Su Ye was found unconscious at the bottom of a cliff by Jiang Yuxiu, then known as Xiao Yuxiu. She had survived alone in a valley after being raised by a white wolf; Su Ye taught her language and literacy while recovering, and their relationship developed from there. 541

Thirty-seven years before the main story, Su Yi attempted to force Su Ye to abandon the pregnant Xiao Yuxiu and marry Ye Xianfeng to secure an alliance with the Ye family. After Su Ye refused, he was threatened with harm to Xiao Yuxiu and their unborn child. He fled the Imperial Capital with her, changed identities, and settled in Shao City, Xiang Province, where they lived in seclusion while he continued searching for Su Xiaotian. 361 376

Appearance

Su Ye is repeatedly described as notably handsome. After using Su Chen's rejuvenation method and shedding his skin through cultivation, he appeared to be about thirty-six years old despite his actual age. 352 693

Personality

Su Ye is unwaveringly devoted to Jiang Yuxiu. He abandoned family standing, political succession, and personal safety rather than leave her, and he consistently supports her choices regarding her biological family. 376 541

He is protective but not reckless. He concealed his strength for decades to avoid detection by the Su and Ye families, later pretended to remain badly injured to deter further harassment, and entered the Boundless Mountain Range only after weighing the danger to Su Chen. 482 502 586

Despite his status and power, Su Ye has a humorous, domestic side. He is proud of his looks, highly conscious of Jiang Yuxiu's attention, and displays a strong “survival instinct” when old acquaintances mention his past admirers. 440 798
