Background

In his previous life, Ye Nanxun was treated as disposable “cannon fodder” within a harem romance novel. Powerful alphas used his exceptional appearance to provoke Xu Wenyan, whose jealousy led him to disfigure Ye with sulfuric acid. Ye was abandoned and died alone; his parents exhausted their fortune searching for him and later died from grief. 1

After being reborn, Ye returns to the safety of his parents’ home determined to live differently. Rather than pursuing immediate revenge, he plans to protect himself, build influence, and eventually confront the four alphas and one omega responsible for his former fate. 1 2

Ye spent more than a decade largely isolated from society because his poisonous pheromones made others fear physical closeness. During that time, he continued studying under his parents’ guidance, published microbiology papers in prominent interstellar journals, and developed skills in painting, calligraphy, music, and sports. 1

His first deliberate step back into public life is attending the Imperial Palace’s omega coming-of-age ceremony. He performs piano rather than dances, drawing widespread attention despite his anxiety and establishing connections with musician Jiang Yuenian and the imperial circle. 3 4 10

Appearance

Ye Nanxun is a tall, slender omega with an elegant, aloof bearing. At 183 cm, he is taller than many ordinary male alphas; his unusual height is attributed in part to his high mental-power rank. 1

• Long black hair, sometimes tied back with a ribbon for performances. 20
• Pale complexion and light emerald-green eyes. 10 20
• Handsome brows and nose resembling his father, paired with soft pale-pink lips resembling his mother. 3
• Frequently wears a black-and-gray cashmere scarf that covers much of his face in cold weather. 10 16
• Uses Yan Beiyou’s emerald disguise earring to alter his features and eye color when secrecy is necessary. 31 32

Personality

Ye Nanxun is quiet, reserved, and socially anxious, often appearing cold because he is unused to attention and wary of other people’s motives. He rejects unsolicited friend requests, refuses expensive gifts with hidden expectations, and carefully limits what he reveals to Ye Zhineng and other elites. 9 14 24

His restraint is shaped by severe trauma rather than indifference. Nightmares of his former disfigurement, imprisonment, blindness, and death continue to affect him, but he responds by becoming more observant and deliberate rather than impulsive. 17 26 40

Despite his caution, Ye is compassionate and courageous. He risks himself to rescue Cao Xi from abuse at the He Household, using his mycelium to keep her afloat before directly demanding that He Yiming release her. 41

He has gradually become more willing to enter the outside world through music, scientific research, reading, photography, and his growing relationships with trustworthy people. Respectful companionship and collaborative music help him realize that socializing does not always have to be frightening. 11 18 33 46

Abilities & Skills

Poison Mushroom Pheromones and Mycelium

Ye’s pheromones resemble poisonous mushrooms and contain deadly spores. Their danger led him to spend much of his life isolated and made others assume that romance or marriage would be impossible for him. 1 22

• Can release mycelium from his fingertips. 19
• Used mycelium to keep Cao Xi from sinking while rescuing her from a pool. 41
• His spores can incapacitate or poison people to death. 22 24
• His pheromone type remains a closely guarded secret; Song Ren and Yan Beiyou explicitly protect that confidentiality. 30
• Yan Beiyou states that dragons are immune to poison. 24

Companion Beast and Partial Beastification

Ye has an unregistered Companion Beast, Mushroom Spore, as well as an undisclosed partial beast-transformation ability. His family chose Dream City partly to preserve his privacy and avoid official interference. 3

• Mushroom Spore was swallowed by Yan Beiyou’s dragon Companion Beast, producing the Mushroom Egg. 13
• The egg contains spiritual energy and pheromones from both Ye and Yan; its eventual form is unknown. 13 28
• Ye and Yan share responsibility for incubating the egg. 28

Microbiology and Medical Research

Ye is an exceptionally accomplished microbiologist. Before turning twenty, he published multiple papers and signed a long-term contract with Dream Star Academy as its youngest professor. 1 26

• Holds an independent laboratory and office at the Scientific Research Institute. 29 47
• Researches microbial medicine and pheromone-related treatments.
• Seeks to develop low-side-effect medicine for alphas’ susceptible periods and omegas’ heat periods, work he was unable to complete before his death in his previous life. 33
• His scientific goals are a major reason he seeks access to the institute’s equipment, funding, and Royal Library resources. 33

Piano and Musical Talent

Ye is a highly skilled pianist despite not pursuing music professionally. His public performance at the omega coming-of-age ceremony gains the admiration of palace guests and Jiang Yuenian. 4

• Performs piano at the Imperial Palace ceremony. 4
• Studies under court pianist Teacher Xu, who recognizes his natural ability, concentration, and discipline. 11
• Rehearses and performs with Jiang Yuenian’s orchestra for Zhu Yucheng’s birthday celebration. 18 20
• Declines a professional music career in favor of returning to scientific work. 26

Equipment / Items

• Black-and-gray cashmere scarf — A scarf associated with Yan Beiyou, embroidered with the character “Bei.” Ye often wears it afterward. 16 17
• Emerald disguise earring — A military-grade device custom-made by Yan that can alter Ye’s face and replicate other appearances. 28 31
• Pheromone pendant — A necklace containing Yan Beiyou’s 3S-level alpha pheromones; opening it can immobilize nearby people and allows Yan to locate Ye. 28
• Mushroom Egg — A shared egg formed from the fusion of Yan’s dragon pheromones and Ye’s Mushroom Spore. Its shell bears mycelium-like patterns and may take up to a year to hatch. 13 28
• Little Dragon — Yan Beiyou’s small yellow dog-like Companion Beast, later entrusted to Ye’s care. 30 36 45

Relationships

• Ye Xiangsong — Father. Ye is deeply loved and supported by him; Ye Xiangsong helped educate him and encourages his gradual return to society. 1 17
• Chen Mingzhu — Mother. Protective and affectionate, she prioritizes Ye’s comfort and happiness over social expectations. 1 3 29
• Yan Beiyou — Galactic Emperor, protector, and the hidden operator behind the Big Black Dragon game boss. Their relationship develops from anonymous game conversations into direct trust, shared care of the Mushroom Egg, and growing intimacy. 2 13 23 28 43
• Jiang Yuenian — Renowned musician, mentor, and friend. Jiang recognizes Ye’s piano talent, arranges lessons and performances for him, and provides medical help when Ye is injured. 10 11 23
• Song Ren — Yan Beiyou’s friend and pheromone specialist. He helps safeguard Ye’s identity and poisonous-pheromone secret while guiding him through the Imperial Palace. 29 30 32
• He Lanxue — Friend and fellow omega. Ye remembers her tragic former fate and becomes protective of her; she repeatedly defends him from Zhu Shixin and welcomes him into her social circle. 18 19 23
• Cao Xi — Fellow omega and student at the Scientific Research Institute. Ye recognizes her as a former victim of Jiang Ying’s experiments and later rescues her from the He Household’s pool party. 38 40 41
• Ye Zhineng — Distant cousin. Ye remembers that Zhineng exploited his family after his death and therefore remains outwardly polite but distrustful, even as Zhineng becomes increasingly protective of him. 14 40
• Xu Wenyan — Former-life enemy and another suspected reborn individual. Xu disfigured Ye in the previous life and immediately targets him again after their first post-rebirth meeting. 1 25
• Jiang Ying — Colleague and former-life enemy. Ye knows that Jiang’s refined public image hides illegal experiments using Ye’s pheromones to create drugs for controlling high-ranking omegas. 26 38
• Zhu Shixin — Initial antagonist who repeatedly provokes and harasses Ye. After witnessing Ye rescue Cao Xi, Zhu begins developing confused attraction toward him, which Ye does not trust. 19 45 49

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rebirth and the Black Dragon

After returning to the past, Ye identifies five people from the original novel as “bosses” he must overcome. He confides this plan to the undefeated Big Black Dragon in a virtual game, unaware that Yan Beiyou is personally controlling the boss’s AI. 1 2

Omega Coming-of-Age Ceremony

Ye attends the Imperial Palace ceremony to make himself publicly known and therefore harder to quietly abduct or imprison. His piano performance astonishes the guests, but he retreats from the attention afterward rather than accepting the crowd of admirers. 2 3 4

Music, Friendship, and Social Re-entry

Through Jiang Yuenian, Ye receives professional instruction, performs with an orchestra, and begins forming cautious friendships with people such as He Lanxue. These experiences help him recognize that he can safely participate in the outside world on his own terms. 10 11 18

The Mushroom Egg and Yan Beiyou

Ye’s Mushroom Spore and Yan’s dragon Companion Beast create the Mushroom Egg, binding the two into a continuing partnership. Yan provides Ye with protective pheromones, disguise technology, Palace access, and practical care, while Ye begins to rely on him as a source of safety. 13 28 29 33 43

Scientific Research Institute

Ye becomes Dream Star Academy’s youngest professor and resumes his interrupted work on microbial medicine. His position places him near Jiang Ying, forcing him to confront the scientist’s former-life crimes and protect vulnerable omegas such as Cao Xi. 26 38

He Lanxue’s Birthday Banquet

At the He Household, Ye’s memories of former imprisonment and experimentation resurface. When Cao Xi is abused at a pool party, Ye intervenes despite the danger, triggering a confrontation with He Yiming and leading Yan Beiyou to personally take him away afterward. 40 41 43
