Background & History

Jiang Linyuan begins as a handsome but poor university student who has already awakened a system that grades certain women as “Bad Women” and rewards him with exchange cards when they toy with his feelings. He deliberately seeks these rewards, viewing manipulative relationships as a fast and guilt-free way to gain abilities. 1 3

Before university, he was hot-tempered and intervened in a serious school-bullying incident near graduation, fighting multiple perpetrators. Zhang Juntang's mother later recognizes him as the student involved in the police questioning after that incident. 30 204

He joins the Student Union's External Relations Department because its wide social reach gives him more opportunities to find system targets. Shen Wanyu, the department head and his direct superior, becomes his most valuable target due to the A-rank card he sees above her. 6

As a Student Union officer, Jiang handles sponsorship and recruitment work, confronts Wang Yun's rumor campaign, protects Lin Yilin during recruitment interviews, and mediates a near-fight on the badminton court. 8 11 17

Later, he becomes involved in an AI project supported by Shen Pingyan and invests in Haile Bio, eventually signing on as a major shareholder while leaving day-to-day management to Zhang Zhu. He prioritizes the company's medical research over short-term profit. 198 226

Appearance

Jiang Linyuan is repeatedly described as exceptionally handsome, with a tall, upright build and notably strong physique. His appearance frequently draws attention from students, makeup artists, and women he meets. 1 122 171

• Strong physical build and athletic endurance. 7 93
• Wears an ink-colored cloud-brocade outfit with a silver five-clawed python pattern and black jade belt for the Forbidden City Lantern Festival. 171

Personality

Jiang Linyuan is confident, flirtatious, and highly self-assured, often interpreting Shen Wanyu's tolerance as proof that she likes him. He relies on teasing, dramatic jokes, and bold declarations to control the tone of conversations. 19 82

He is also calculating in romance. He openly treats system targets as opportunities for rewards, uses acting to influence others, and admits that he might have dated Liu Tingting even without genuinely liking her because he considered mutual sacrifice “fair.” 1 7 24

Despite his opportunism, he is willing to intervene for others. He defends Lin Yilin from recruitment bullying, helps mediate conflicts, assists Yu Songsong during a hospital stay, and risks himself while saving Zhang Xiaoxiao. 11 17 78 116
