Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

Yu Xunhuan is described as handsome, with an obedient and harmless-looking appearance that contrasts with Yu Xunge’s view of his calculating nature. After his injury and repeated setbacks, he becomes notably gloomy and withdrawn. 1 16

• Good-looking enough to attract Su Yitong’s interest as a prospective live-in son-in-law. 14 16
• Initially presents himself as a shy, obedient “puppy”-like younger brother. 16
• Later appears worn down, with a darker and more withdrawn demeanor. 16 28

Personality

Yu Xunhuan maintains a gentle, devoted younger-brother image while concealing his ambitions and information.

He is socially resourceful. He cultivates friendships through family dinners, introduces friends to his parents and sister, and benefits from the warmth and obligation this creates. 45 46 He also withholds key information when it would weaken his position, such as the usable portion of his Food God talent. 43

Background

In Yu Xunge’s previous life, Yu Xunhuan entered Calamity of Ten Thousand Races: Fear Rift during an early closed beta and gained extraordinary abilities a year before the game invaded Blue Star. He concealed this advantage while Yu Xunge endured difficulties in the entertainment industry and provided money and resources for him. 1

Yu Xunge learns at her death that Yu Xunhuan had pretended to support her for three years while pursuing her God-given talent. She regards him as part of the group responsible for her being restrained and drained in a dungeon before she activates [If I Die, We All Die] in an attempt to take everyone present down with her. 1

After Yu Xunge is reborn, she immediately interferes with his access to the game. She keeps him from entering the first closed beta, destroys or removes his devices before the second, and repeatedly incapacitates him when he attempts to find another way to play. 1 17 18
