Background / History

Li Long was one of the four residents of Room 307 at Imperial Capital University, alongside Wu Wei, Wang Zixuan, and Kuang Zhiguo. He helped maintain the dormitory’s weekly shared-meal tradition and was known as its cheerful, generous organizer. He had written web novels since middle school and was promoted by the university as a specially talented student. 2 6 7

His newest novel, The Scholar’s Monstrous Life, exceeded 10,000 average subscriptions and gained nearly a million readers, putting him on track for a top-tier author contract. However, he also had a history of abandoning multiple novels, earning a poor reputation among readers for “eunuching” works. 2 49

Li Long appeared to possess memories of a previous life in which Wu Wei became an outstanding figure of the younger generation. Believing Wu Wei had deceived and harmed him in that life, Li Long returned determined to retaliate. Later events leave the source of these memories uncertain: Wu Wei and Qin Yunhai consider whether Wang Zixuan’s Dream Builder ability may have implanted the belief that Li Long had been reborn. 3 4 13

Personality

Li Long cultivated the image of an enthusiastic, brotherly roommate: he treated the dorm to meals, organized gatherings, and was financially better off than his roommates through writing. Behind that image, he nursed deep resentment toward Wu Wei and treated their friendship as a means to stage revenge. 2 7

His planning showed patience and calculation—he waited until Wu Wei seemed incapacitated, installed a pinhole camera, and arranged for Qian Ruoyun to target him. Yet he was easily outmaneuvered once confronted directly. Wu Wei’s intimidation quickly broke his resolve, and Li Long pleaded for his life while offering his future knowledge and earnings in exchange for mercy. 3 4
