Background

Lu Mingyuan is a transmigrator whose previous life on Earth was ordinary; he later explains that science and technology there developed over millennia without supernatural powers. He awakened memories of that life at age fourteen, then began planning how to use knowledge, mathematics, and research without exposing himself. 28 273

His father, Lu Xin, left for the war against the Demon Realm shortly after Lu Mingyuan's birth and never returned. His mother, Cui Ying, later died from grief, leaving him alone at eight years old. Neighbors in Guihua Lane helped raise him, and he repaid them by teaching their children literacy. 2

He attended Qingshan Academy but had little interest in Confucian literary interpretation. Rather than join the Confucian School, he planned to enter the Agrarian School, where practical inventions could give him a public identity separate from Anonymous. 1 28 43

Using a Divine Ability Stone and 2,000 Qi Luck Points, he created an illusion-type mathematical supernatural power based on the Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage problem. He uploaded it to the Divine Ability Treasury for 100 Qi Luck Points, beginning his rise as a supernatural-power creator. 2

Personality

Lu Mingyuan is analytical, patient, and intensely deliberate. He tests his creations repeatedly, refines costs through technical knowledge, and prefers long-term plans over reckless action. His decision to cultivate an ordinary Agrarian School identity is motivated as much by self-preservation as ambition. 28 39 43 47

Although he teaches children and later donates extensively to Changfeng City, he does not consider himself naturally selfless. He views his kindness as repayment for the neighbors who raised him and openly prioritizes protecting himself, Jing Zhi, and those close to him. 2 87 153

He can be playful, vain, and theatrical around family, particularly Jing Zhi and Jing Yue. Beneath this humor is an extreme side: when he believes someone has crossed his bottom line, he is willing to retaliate decisively. Jing Zhi eventually recognizes this as a defense mechanism rather than simple cruelty. 35 87 157

Reform and Equality
