Background / History

Pei Huanyi comes from a wealthy family and opened his pet hospital out of personal interest rather than financial necessity. He remains closely involved in its daily operations, working late and personally overseeing employees and clients. 1

Years before the story, Pei encountered nineteen-year-old Gu Yuechen after a hit-and-run accident. He comforted the injured Gu, held his hand on the way to the hospital, paid for his surgery, and left without giving his name. Pei later failed to recognize Gu when Gu applied for a position at the pet hospital. 1

Gu eventually secured work there by falsifying parts of his résumé and background, specifically to remain near Pei. Pei treats him with ordinary professional kindness, unaware of the extent of Gu's long-standing fixation. 1

Pei becomes engaged to Yu Yaochen after Yu returns to the country. The engagement is intended to reassure Yu's cancer-stricken mother and also joins the interests of the Yu and Pei families; Yu describes Pei as valuing the Yu Household's influence amid the decline of the Pei Group. 2 9 Although Yu characterizes their arrangement as practical, Pei is publicly attentive toward him and openly affectionate at the pet hospital's staff gathering. 3

He later announces that he will stop working at the pet hospital in order to help manage Yu Yaochen's company, while retaining ownership and assuring the staff that their benefits will remain unchanged. 13

Personality

Pei is considerate and courteous toward employees. He offers Gu Yuechen rides home, gives him breakfast, permits paid leave after his injury, and personally arranges for Gu's recurring bonus to be increased. 1 7

As an employer, he is generous and attentive to staff morale. He organizes an elaborate anniversary gathering, distributes red envelopes, and assures employees that their workplace benefits will not be reduced after his departure. 2 4 13

He generally handles uncomfortable situations calmly. When Gu attempts to imply that Yu Yaochen may be involved with someone else, Pei does not visibly escalate the matter, and he later remains publicly close with Yu. 24

Story Role / Major Arcs

Pet Hospital and Gu Yuechen's Obsession

Pei serves as the object of Gu Yuechen's five-year devotion. His earlier rescue of Gu directly motivates Gu's decision to falsify his qualifications and obtain work at Pei's hospital. 1

Engagement to Yu Yaochen

Pei's engagement devastates Gu, who had intended to confess. The engagement becomes the central obstacle behind Gu's attempts to manipulate Yu and break the pair apart. 1 2 20

Departure from the Pet Hospital

Pei's decision to work for Yu's company removes him from Gu's daily life and intensifies Gu's fear that he will lose all access to him. 13 19

Target of Gu's Schemes

Although often absent from later events, Pei remains the driving reason behind Gu's actions toward Yu Yaochen. Gu spreads a false rumor to Pei, attempts to expose Yu's supposed infidelity, and repeatedly hopes their engagement will be destroyed. 24 27 46
