Background / History
Bai Ye spent years hiding and fleeing from people pursuing him. Raised largely by his butler and guardian, Number 7, he grew weary of being pushed to avenge the family head and initially rejected revenge as a goal. He nevertheless accepted admission to Advanced Nurturing High School out of respect for Number 7’s years of care. 1 2
At school, Bai Ye presents himself as Jingu Bai Ye. He quickly identifies the school’s point system as suspicious, pursues information through upperclassmen, and plans to establish informants among the second-year students. 3 6 8 12
His background gives him unusual protection within the school: Chairman Sakayanagi Narimori calls him his son-in-law and chooses not to expel him after his altercation with Sudo and Yamauchi, treating the incident as self-defense. 19

Personality
Bai Ye is outwardly relaxed, confident, and often flippant, but he is highly calculating when dealing with rivals, allies, and relationships. He dislikes unnecessary effort and openly prefers having others handle difficult work, yet he can be decisive when a situation threatens him or those he considers his own. 6 18 38
He is capable of cruelty, as shown by his treatment of Yamauchi, but also demonstrates restraint and consideration in intimate situations. He repeatedly prioritizes Wang Meiyu’s security, wants Horikita to become happier and more socially capable, and expresses a desire to protect both of them from stronger enemies. 19 27 42 47
