Background

Dai Mubai was the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire and a contender in the imperial succession struggle. He believed Zhu Zhuqing was meant to be his fiancée and confronted Dai Mobai in court after Dai Mobai took Zhu Zhuyun and showed interest in Zhu Zhuqing. His attack failed decisively, and Dai Mobai severely injured him in front of the Star Luo Emperor and Duke Spirit Cat Zhu Song. 1 2

After recovering, Dai Mubai became consumed by resentment over the Emperor and Zhu Song favoring Dai Mobai. He called upon You Lian, a woman whose life he had saved three years earlier, and ordered her to infiltrate Dai Mobai's residence under the pretense of an apology and assassinate him. 3

You Lian was killed by Dai Mobai. Her severed head was subsequently placed on Dai Mubai's pillow by Li Yue, causing him to panic. Convinced that Dai Mobai possessed a hidden Soul Emperor-level subordinate capable of entering his bedchamber unseen, Dai Mubai killed two guards in rage and fled Star Luo overnight. 5 6 7

The Star Luo Emperor stripped Dai Mubai of his title after his flight and named Dai Mobai Crown Prince. Dai Mubai later joined Shrek Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, where he became Tang San's classmate and the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils. 7 38 51

Appearance

Dai Mubai is a tall, sturdy blond youth with heterochromatic eyes. His build becomes larger and more bestial when he activates his martial soul. 1 48

Personality

Dai Mubai is jealous, prideful, and deeply resentful of Dai Mobai. His anger stems from being eclipsed by his brother in power, imperial favor, and the competition surrounding Zhu Zhuqing. He repeatedly interprets Dai Mobai's calmness as humiliation and provocation. 1 3 50

He is impulsive when affronted, attacking Dai Mobai in court and later arranging an assassination rather than accepting his defeat. When threatened beyond his ability to control the situation, however, he becomes fearful and desperate; the delivery of You Lian's head drives him to abandon Star Luo. 1 3 6 7

At Shrek Academy, he acts as Ma Hongjun's senior and “Boss Dai.” He remains hostile toward Dai Mobai and initially attempts to flee upon recognizing him in Suotuo City, only confronting him when Ma Hongjun loudly exposes his identity. 48 49 50
