Background / History

At fifteen, Wei Linxuan was the only son of Huaxia Imperial Entertainment president Wei Zhanjie. Though materially privileged, he was surrounded by entertainment-industry temptations and relatives with ulterior motives. After impulsively confronting a minor actor over his unfaithful aspiring-actress girlfriend, he was beaten into the hospital. Upon waking, he possessed memories of having lived another life in another world, which cleared his formerly muddled thinking 7.

Seeking to prove himself and gain freedom from his family’s restrictions, he planned the reality program Exchanging Lives. He insisted on appearing in its first episode despite his parents’ and grandfather’s objections, and selected Lu Family Village as the filming site after extensive inspections by his father and grandfather 8. The program’s success improved Huaxia Imperial Entertainment’s influence, expanded the Wei family’s social standing, and earned Linxuan recognition from both the company shareholders and his grandfather 35.

During Exchanging Lives, Linxuan noticed Lu Heng’s ability, martial-arts background, and public appeal. He signed Lu Heng to Huaxia Imperial Entertainment and intended to make him the company’s new top male star 10 17. Their professional partnership became the foundation of Linxuan’s later career and personal life.

Linxuan’s conflict with the Wei family intensified after the summer-camp disaster in the Amazon. He formed strong bonds with fellow trainees while surviving the rainforest, only to learn that Wei Hongxuan had been involved in the incident. Though he initially protected the Wei family’s reputation, subsequent kidnappings and assassination attempts forced him to confront the family’s ruthlessness 279 289. When Old Master Wei named him sole heir partly because Wei Hongxuan’s record had been ruined, Linxuan rejected the cold pragmatism behind the decision 289 292.

He eventually left Huaxia Imperial Entertainment and established Heng Xuan Studio with Lu Heng, although he delayed publicly severing ties with the Wei family while Wei Group remained in crisis 293 305.

Appearance

As an adult, Wei Linxuan is a tall, strikingly handsome young man with an elegant but imposing bearing. He is described as nearly six foot three, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a sharply defined physique 444.

• Inherited exceptionally refined features from his mother, Fang Yuqing, balanced by a sharper, heroic expression between his brows 253.
• Often projects an aloof, hard-to-approach image when not smiling 444.
• His fitted white suit was compared to a “white peacock,” emphasizing his proud and flamboyant beauty 253.
• Resembles his mother closely enough for others to immediately notice the connection 83.

Personality

Linxuan begins as impulsive, proud, and prone to acting before thinking, particularly when his friends or loved ones are threatened. He can become openly confrontational, whether increasing Lu Heng’s pay out of indignation, dismissing unsuitable cast members, or physically retaliating against people who insult Lu Heng 23 185 379.

Behind this temper is a sincere sense of responsibility. He does not claim subordinates’ achievements as his own, openly credits Lu Heng for good ideas, and is notably generous with rewards—qualities that win him loyal staff 36. His protectiveness toward Lu Heng repeatedly outweighs his own career interests; during Lu Heng’s mental-health crisis, Linxuan abandoned work obligations and newly launched projects to personally care for him 76.

As his authority grows, Linxuan becomes more decisive and strategically ruthless. He can dominate negotiations, pressure collaborators to uphold quality, and act with little patience toward incompetence or manipulation 174 185. Even so, he remains playful and teasing in private, particularly around Lu Heng, and is attentive to the comfort of crews and staff 443 445.
