Background / History

Early life

Xu Yi was an orphaned university student who relied on state aid, though he was initially denied assistance despite his financial hardship. An official background file later identifies his father as a border-defense hero, his mother as an “Angel Against the Current,” and his brother as a drug-enforcement hero; all three were listed as “not returned.” 2 66

His System rewards emotional reactions—especially anger, guilt, shock, and resentment—with Emotion Points. Xu Yi spends these points on lottery draws, skill acquisition, and background edits that rewrite relationships and personal history. His first major edit made Furun Group chairman Li Wen his late father's sworn brother and, therefore, his uncle. 13 15

Family connections

Xu Yi later rewrote his history with Huang Lu, the second daughter of the Magic City Huang family. The edit establishes that they grew up together in an orphanage, that Xu Yi saved her during a fire, and that they separated when she was taken back by her birth family. Although they are not related by blood, Xu Yi accepts Huang Lu as his true sister and protects her accordingly. 38 126

He also creates a connection to Han Tao, Secretary of Port City's Political and Legal Affairs Committee, through his late brother Xu Zhou. Han Tao's guilt over Xu Zhou's death makes him a powerful and deeply protective ally. 69 73

Rise to prominence

While still a student, Xu Yi gained attention for exposing campus corruption, confronting abusive businesses, substitute-teaching for money, and publicly defeating members of the Taekwondo Club with traditional martial arts. His connections to Yu Shu and Li Wen repeatedly changed how school officials and opponents treated him. 9 19 25 30

His music drew the attention of Liu Qing, Dean of the Capital Conservatory of Music, after he performed on both piano and Guzheng. Liu Qing offered to take him as a disciple and support an international music career, but Xu Yi refused because he regarded music as a hobby rather than his chosen path. 21

Xu Yi eventually founded Yixing Entertainment with Ai Xiaoxing, using his songwriting, directing, livestream audience, and connections to recruit artists and confront exploitative figures in the entertainment industry. Huarun Entertainment was later merged into Yixing, giving him access to its resources. 92 97 115

Later ventures

Beyond entertainment, Xu Yi used System-provided market predictions to make a major profit from Mianxian Media stock, bought a ten-million-yuan villa while working as a ride-hailing driver, and invested heavily in food production. 78 87 183

He became a public advocate against Huangshi Group and other unscrupulous merchants, using livestream investigations, official support, and his audience's attention to pressure businesses into reform. After using a Diamond Treasure Chest to alter causality, Xu Yi became the heir to Huangshi Group's assets. 175 184 247

Appearance

Xu Yi is described as a handsome young man with long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, sharp eyes, and a carefree, confident presence. He often dresses casually enough to be mistaken for a delivery worker or an ordinary student. 48 109

Personality

Xu Yi is calm under pressure and rarely appears intimidated by wealth, authority, threats, or public hostility. He frequently lets others underestimate him, then reverses the situation through hidden connections, System abilities, or carefully chosen words. 15 69 78

He is sharp-tongued, theatrical, and highly aware of how to provoke emotional reactions for Emotion Points. Xu Yi manipulates guilt, anger, jealousy, and public sentiment—sometimes by presenting himself as vulnerable, sometimes by openly humiliating opponents. 12 55 67

Despite his opportunism, he repeatedly intervenes against bullies, scammers, corrupt officials, predatory entertainment figures, and abusive businesses. He is notably protective of Huang Lu, Ai Xiaoxing, Xu Yu, Liu Qingling, and people he considers unfairly exploited. 97 109 123 175
