Background / History

Qin Yunhai is Imperial Capital University’s most prominent biology student. He and Wu Wei, the leading student of the School of Computer Science, became close after agreeing that artificial intelligence and genetic modification were the two defining future fields. Their shared ambition prevents their academic reputations from becoming a rivalry. 12

He is one of the few people Wu Wei considers an intellectual equal and trusts completely. From an apartment Qin Yunhai rents, the two monitor Wang Zixuan and Lan Meng; Qin Yunhai immediately accepts Wu Wei’s account of Kuang Zhiguo’s death and helps identify Wang Zixuan as the likely culprit. 11

Qin Yunhai later learns from Wu Wei that his girlfriend, Chi Yu, has been unfaithful. After receiving the evidence, he confronts her and ends the relationship rather than sacrifice his dignity, though Chi Yu’s unapologetic reaction leaves him humiliated and enraged. 19 20 21

While discussing Lan Meng’s claims of time travel, Qin Yunhai and Wu Wei formulate theories involving memory transfer, artificial intelligence, cloning, reincarnation, and a possible supreme being harvesting the experiences of transmigrators. Their speculation becomes the conceptual foundation for Wu Wei’s idea of creating a system. 21 23

Lan Meng reveals that Qin Yunhai remains an ordinary person in the future, but becomes the 404 Bureau’s Deputy Director and the era’s foremost genetic biologist. Known as the “Hand of God,” he develops genetic-modification technology that improves Awakened talents and substantially accelerates Wu Wei’s rise. 20

Personality

Qin Yunhai is confident, quick-thinking, and unafraid to entertain radical ideas. He can follow Wu Wei’s leaps in logic, expand upon them, and challenge assumptions with his own hypotheses rather than merely agreeing. 21 23

He is intensely loyal to Wu Wei, trusting him without hesitation during the Wang Zixuan investigation and readily offering help with Wu Wei’s future experiments. 11 24 He also values personal dignity: despite caring for Chi Yu, he chooses to end their relationship when confronted with proof of her betrayal. 20

His self-assurance often manifests as teasing and theatrical humor, particularly around his romantic interest in Wu Wei. However, Chi Yu’s infidelity exposes his insecurity over his judgment of people and the importance he places on respect. 12 21

Abilities & Skills

Biological Research and Genetics

Qin Yunhai is a top biology student whose expertise complements Wu Wei’s work in computing and artificial intelligence. 12

• Studies biology at Imperial Capital University and is regarded as an exceptional talent in the field. 12 20
• Proposes combining genetic technology with AI-based future modeling by cloning versions of an individual to test calculated life paths. 21
• Discusses cell division and replication with Wu Wei while contributing biological knowledge to Wu Wei’s long-term plans. 24
• In the future, develops genetic-modification technology capable of helping Awakened individuals improve their talents. 20
• Recognizes that genetics may hold the keys to human evolution, abilities, longevity, and immortality. 47

Analysis and Strategic Reasoning

Qin Yunhai can keep pace with Wu Wei’s unconventional reasoning and turn speculative ideas into structured possibilities.

• Identifies Wang Zixuan as the probable source of the incidents affecting Wu Wei’s dormitory. 11
• Suggests that altered memories could redefine personal identity and that continuous memory transfer could constitute a form of immortality. 21
• Hypothesizes the existence of a supreme entity that uses transmigrators and reincarnators as experimental subjects, aggregating their experiences for its own growth. 23
• Foresees that powerful institutions and nations would oppose any attempt by individuals to build independent public influence. 47

Future Scientific Legacy

Qin Yunhai is stated to have no awakened talent; his future influence derives from science rather than supernatural power. 20

• Becomes Deputy Director of the 404 Bureau. 20
• Is hailed as the “Hand of God” for his genetic achievements. 20
• Helps countless Awakened individuals improve their talents. 20
• Works in tandem with Wu Wei, with his genetic technology described as a weapon comparable in importance to Wu Wei’s Light of 404. 20

Relationships

• Wu Wei — Best friend, intellectual equal, and future partner in scientific advancement. Qin Yunhai trusts Wu Wei completely, repeatedly helps develop his ideas, and joins him in pursuing control over humanity’s evolutionary future. 11 23 47
• Chi Yu — Former girlfriend. Qin Yunhai ends their relationship after discovering her repeated infidelity and refusal to accept responsibility. 19 20
• Lan Meng — Wu Wei’s associate and a source of future information. Qin Yunhai helps her understand the memory-manipulation hypothesis, while she worries that his future importance may make him a Heart Demon target. 20 21
• Wang Zixuan — Suspected by Qin Yunhai of orchestrating the deaths and abnormal behavior surrounding Wu Wei’s dormitory through his Dream Builder talent. 11 13

Story Role / Major Arcs

Wang Zixuan Investigation

Qin Yunhai assists Wu Wei after Kuang Zhiguo’s death, reviews the circumstances around Wang Zixuan’s phone video, and supports Wu Wei’s decision to make Wang Zixuan “reap what he has sown.” He later recognizes that Dream Builder could have been used to manipulate Kuang Zhiguo and possibly Li Long. 11 13

Confession to Wu Wei

Qin Yunhai openly confesses his feelings for Wu Wei and jokes about campus fanfiction pairing them together. Wu Wei rejects the advance, but their friendship remains intact. 12

Chi Yu’s Infidelity

After Wu Wei discovers Chi Yu with another man and investigates her messages, Qin Yunhai insists that a friend should disclose such betrayal. He receives the evidence, confronts Chi Yu, and breaks up with her despite the emotional fallout. 19 20

Future-Theory Discussions

Qin Yunhai joins Wu Wei and Lan Meng in examining the possibility that time travel, rebirth, and transmigration are products of memory manipulation, AI prediction, or experimentation by higher beings. His analysis helps Wu Wei conceive of a system as a new medium for surpassing the Lord of Time and Space and the Main God. 21 23

Scientific Partnership with Wu Wei

Qin Yunhai embraces Wu Wei’s proposal to turn individual knowledge and ability into publicly backed personal value rather than relying on corporations or the state. Once he understands the changing world’s demand for scientific control of human evolution, the two formally commit to pursuing that future together. 46 47

Trivia

• Qin Yunhai is a biology student, while Wu Wei studies computer science; their friendship began from their shared focus on genetic modification and artificial intelligence. 12
• Campus students have written more than a dozen boys’ love fanfictions pairing Qin Yunhai with Wu Wei. 12
• Although he is described as an ordinary person in the future, Wu Wei considers his potential lethality greater than that of Wu Wei’s three former dormmates combined. 20
