Background / History

During his time at Shrek Academy, Tang Wulin quickly establishes a pattern of giving Gu Yue special consideration. He brings her breakfast at her request, knows her preferred dishes, and explains to an increasingly resentful Xie Xie that Gu Yue is “a bit different.” 1

On Brotherhood Day, Tang Wulin tries to preserve his annual outing with Xie Xie while allowing Gu Yue to join them. He sets limits on the mall visit, mediates their arguments, competes with Xie Xie at the arcade, and gives Gu Yue the Soul Beast plushie he wins at the night market. 4

Tang Wulin is an experienced forger by the time Gu Yue asks him to teach her. He demonstrates hammer handling, force application, momentum, and impurity sensing; after examining her first workpiece, he recognizes that she successfully removed most major impurities despite its rough appearance. 13 14

As he and Gu Yue begin sharing a home life, Tang Wulin repeatedly uses food and practical care to repair conflicts. He cooks breakfast after embarrassing mistakes, looks after Gu Yue when she is exhausted or ill, and remains attentive even when she is angry with him. 27 34 61 62

After a prolonged cold war caused by his careless remarks, Tang Wulin becomes determined to prove his commitment to Gu Yue. By the time they visit his parents in Aolai City, the couple possess a marriage certificate; Tang Ziran accepts Gu Yue into the Tang family and charges Tang Wulin with treating her well. 90 93 95

Appearance

Tang Wulin has black hair and a notably strong, athletic build developed through combat training and forging work. 13 82

• Often wears practical casual or training clothes, including a blue tracksuit during morning exercise. 39
• Uses a heavy forging hammer with enough control to work red-hot rare metal. 13
• Wears an ill-fitting pink apron that Gu Yue designated as essential “stay-at-home husband” equipment. 27

Personality

Tang Wulin is considerate and service-oriented, particularly toward Gu Yue. He remembers her food preferences, prepares meals, monitors her health, and frequently takes on household tasks without needing to be asked. 1 34 61 62

He is also a patient mediator. When Gu Yue and Xie Xie argue, he usually intervenes to calm both sides rather than choosing a confrontation, even when their rivalry places him in the middle. 1 4

His affection is paired with a mischievous and occasionally reckless streak. Tang Wulin interferes with Gu Yue’s games, plays food-related pranks, and sometimes assumes he can smooth over the consequences afterward. 45 73 74 When those actions genuinely hurt her feelings, however, he tends to overcompensate through apologies, cooking, gifts, or elaborate attempts at reform. 27 92 121

Tang Wulin can be shamelessly bold in teasing Gu Yue, but he is distinctly less composed when she is seriously angry. In those moments, he is prone to panic, flee, bargain, or accept punishment rather than challenge her directly. 29 31 32

• Evaluates forged metal by its internal compactness and impurity removal rather than appearance alone. 14
