Background / History

Su Ming awakens in a new, heavier body and begins adapting to its overpowering appetite for meat. Although the body’s weight had kept him alive, he chooses to resist overeating and requests scarce vegetables instead 2.

When he returns to Mient Junior Academy, students ridicule him over a recent hanging attempt and his public pursuit of Lin Chuyu. Su Ming remains unshaken by the whispers and threats from Zhang Tai and Li Fubai, while teacher Tang Yan continues to support him 5.

He studies under Tang Yan and later Jiang Yu, his father Su Yuan’s former teacher. Jiang Yu recognizes Su Ming’s drive and begins remotely tutoring him in the evenings 30 31. Su Ming scores 218 points in the City Exam, ranks seventh, earns admission to Imperial Court Academy’s Outer Academy through his Starlight City registration, and chooses to repeat the year to pursue the main academy 84.

Over the following year, Su Ming loses weight, matures noticeably, and enters Imperial Court Academy. Teacher Mia unexpectedly appoints him class monitor, beginning his long-running role as a leader among his peers 95 103.

Appearance

Su Ming was initially known at Mient Junior Academy as overweight. After a year of training and study, he becomes visibly thinner and more mature; former acquaintances initially struggle to recognize him 91 95.

• Later described as thinner than Qi Shen and noticeably more mature in appearance 91 95.
• Is recognized as a handsome young man by relatives and political figures 98 360.

Personality

Su Ming is notably calm under scrutiny, danger, and political pressure. He ignores classmates’ ridicule, faces armed attackers without panic, and regularly avoids flaunting his accomplishments despite repeated public recognition 5 40 301.

He is courteous even toward people he distrusts, particularly within the Su Family’s tense social environment. Jiang Yu values his politeness and composure, while Su Ming himself treats surface-level civility as necessary even when he recognizes hypocrisy 30 95 98.

His restraint is balanced by empathy. He pays for better meals for junkyard employees after witnessing the gap between their food and his own, supports grieving Qin Qing after Lin Chuyu’s presumed death, and consistently shares resources and rewards with comrades 80 330 536.
