Background / History

Yan Beiyou was previously unknown across the galaxy. At eighteen, he overthrew the existing regime through overwhelming strength and took control of the star system; fourteen years later, he remains its unquestioned ruler. His family background and the events surrounding his rise are not publicly known. 2 3 31

To stabilize his early rule, Yan cultivated an image as a cold-blooded, merciless emperor and rejected those who attempted to offer omegas to him. Once his position became secure, he acknowledged that he was not opposed to romance—he had simply never met anyone suitable. 3

Three years before the omega coming-of-age ceremony, Yan used his Black Dragon Companion Beast as the model for an unbeatable virtual-game boss. He noticed that the player Little Mushroom had accumulated an extraordinary number of challenge attempts and later took over the boss AI to speak with him directly. 2 5

Appearance

Yan is a nearly two-meter-tall alpha with a powerful build and an imposing presence that contrasts with his restrained manner. 5 12

• Short black hair, often neatly combed back in formal settings. 30
• Deep, sharply defined, conventionally handsome features. 16 30
• Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs. 12
• Deep black eyes described as tranquil, warm, and tolerant when he looks at Ye Nanxun. 15 35
• Wears austere black-and-gold imperial uniform within the palace; favors dark coats and simple knitwear in private. 12 30
• His civilian disguise technology can alter his facial appearance. 27 28

Personality

Yan is publicly serious, meticulous, and difficult to approach. His immense authority causes even influential nobles and officials to treat him with reverence, while his long-standing lack of romantic experience makes him the subject of teasing among his three childhood friends. 3 13 35

In private, he is observant, patient, and quietly humorous. He listens closely to Ye Nanxun, remembers small details about his needs, asks for consent before intimate pheromone contact, and offers help without demanding emotional disclosure in return. 27 31 43

He also possesses a restrained possessiveness. He keeps Ye Nanxun’s damaged scarf to make a nest for the Mushroom Dragon Egg, questions Ye’s familiarity with Song Ren, and repeatedly arranges his own schedule around Ye’s safety and comfort. 13 31 43

• Lets Yan privately communicate with Little Mushroom through the boss interface. 2 17

Yellow Dog Companion Beast

Yan also keeps a small yellow dog Companion Beast, whose lively behavior sharply contrasts with his intimidating public image. 5 30

• Its pheromone fusion with the spore produced the Mushroom Dragon Egg. 8 13
• It is strongly attached to Ye Nanxun and frequently ignores Yan’s attempts to call it back. 31
• Its enthusiasm nearly knocks Ye over during his visit to Yan’s study. 30

• Mushroom Dragon Egg — A white egg patterned in black and mycelium-like markings, formed by the fusion of Yan and Ye’s Companion Beasts and pheromones. 8 13 28

• Song Ren — Childhood friend, trusted pheromone specialist, and confidant. Song investigates the Mushroom Dragon Egg and helps Yan keep Ye’s poisonous pheromones confidential. 3 8 13 30
• Zhu Yucheng — Childhood friend and imperial general. Zhu is comfortable teasing Yan about romance and is among the first to notice Yan’s unusual treatment of the egg. 3 13
• Ji Yunqi — Childhood friend who frequently teases Yan over his lack of relationship experience. Ji becomes suspicious of the disguised Ye because of Song Ren’s attention toward him. 3 32
• Xu Wenyan — An omega who seeks to exploit Yan’s status and believes he can make the emperor fall for him. Yan does not reciprocate or meaningfully engage with his attempts to engineer an encounter. 1 16 32 33
• The He Household — Yan warns the politically conservative family by assigning General He to distant frontier ceasefire negotiations, signaling that they should not interfere recklessly. 46

Story Role / Major Arcs

Black Dragon and the Coming-of-Age Ceremony

Yan secretly becomes Little Mushroom’s most reliable virtual confidant after taking control of the Black Dragon boss AI. Concerned by Little Mushroom’s comments about powerful people and the need for protection, he attends an omega coming-of-age ceremony for the first time, though he initially does not recognize Ye among the guests. 2 5

The Mushroom Dragon Egg

After Yan’s yellow dog Companion Beast consumes Ye’s Mushroom Spore, their pheromones fuse into an unusual egg. Yan keeps the egg rather than allowing Song Ren to take it for research, nests it in Ye’s scarf, and considers whether to tell Ye about its existence. 8 13 16

Yan eventually reveals the egg and Ye’s pheromone secret to him. The two learn that the egg may hatch into a Companion Beast controllable only by them—or a humanoid creature. 21 22

Building Trust with Ye Nanxun

Yan replaces Ye’s scarf, listens to his piano performance, and finally exchanges names with him. Ye only later realizes that the seemingly ordinary palace employee is the Galactic Emperor. 15 16

After Ye injures his ankle at Zhu Yucheng’s birthday banquet, Yan catches him, carries him home, treats his injury, and begins offering increasingly personal support. 20 21

The New Year’s Eve Gala

Yan equips Ye with a custom disguise earring and personally selected formalwear, while he and Song Ren conceal Ye’s identity even from Yan’s closest friends. 31 32

Yan grants Ye permanent Royal Library access to support his research, then chooses him as his partner for the gala’s opening dance. He patiently guides Ye through his first public dance, allowing Ye to overcome his fear by focusing on him. 33 34 35

Protector and Domestic Partner

Yan repeatedly makes his private apartment a refuge for Ye: he prepares food, crutches, slippers, toiletries, clothing, and safe transportation. He also creates a protective network around Cao Xi after her hospitalization. 27 29 43 44

When Ye sends a photograph of Little Dragon resting in a rainy palace garden, Yan leaves a political meeting, dismisses his guards, and finds Ye himself. Their ensuing conversation shows Ye’s increasing comfort with Yan and Yan’s encouragement of Ye’s scientific talent. 46 47
