Background / History

Bai Ziyu remembers a previous life and views his current life as a second chance. He admits internally that, in that former life, he was willing to sacrifice others to gain status and security, and he does not consider his conduct wrong. 25

He became a highly popular entertainment star through roles as kind, adorable, fairy-like young men. His fans affectionately called him a “fairy,” and his public image gave him a large, intensely protective fandom. 1

Before joining Wilderness Survival, Bai received survival training from his agent but retained little of it because he had treated the instruction impatiently. 4 He later arranged for Jiang Fang—an amateur he supposedly did not know—to join the program, a decision whose connection to Jiang Fang’s identity becomes increasingly suspicious. 38 43

Bai is the adopted son of the wealthy White family. Madam Bai’s attachment to him is tied to her unresolved grief for her deceased son, while Bai Yelei eventually recognizes that this misplaced affection has damaged the family. 36 38

Appearance

Bai’s career relies on a carefully cultivated gentle and delicate appearance, marketed through “fairy-like” roles and reinforced by a tearful, wronged presentation during public conflicts. 1 2

• Known for portraying kind, adorable young men. 1
• Often uses red-rimmed eyes, tears, and a fragile demeanor to solicit sympathy. 2 6
• Is considered good-looking, though later comparisons describe Cheng Xiao as markedly more striking. 35 34

Personality

Bai Ziyu is highly image-conscious and manipulative. He instinctively presents concern, apology, or self-blame in ways that shift responsibility onto others; after Jiang Fang’s skydiving incident, he repeatedly frames himself as the traumatized person who merely failed to help. 2

Beneath his gentle persona, he is resentful, entitled, and vindictive. He reacts badly when others challenge his status, especially when Jiang Fang exposes his lack of wilderness knowledge or refuses to accept his performances at face value. 5 18

His composure depends heavily on public support and control of the narrative. When Jiang Fang begins implying knowledge of the attempted murder, Bai becomes paranoid and considers killing him again rather than accepting accountability. 25 26

Methods

• Victim performance — Uses tearful apologies and indirect accusations to appear kind while making Jiang Fang seem reckless, cruel, or ungrateful. 2 12
• Fandom pressure — Benefits from his fans’ organized harassment of critics and Jiang Fang, including fabricated claims about Jiang Fang’s character and academic record. 5 29
• Plausible deniability — Relies on the lack of obvious footage from the helicopter to deny pushing Jiang Fang and threatens defamation litigation when confronted. 26
• Framing schemes — Plans to injure himself on a safer slope and blame Jiang Fang, then attempts to portray himself as the victim after falling from the cliff. 32 33
• Coercion and bribery — Offers Jiang Fang one million yuan to leave City B and later tries to leverage information about Jiang Fang’s biological parents for a letter of forgiveness. 26 36

Relationships

• Jiang Fang — Primary target and victim. Bai arranged Jiang Fang’s appearance on Wilderness Survival, pushed him during the opening skydive, then made a second attempt at a cliff after Jiang Fang threatened to expose his secrets. 1 32 43
• Qin Yan — Opponent and key witness. Qin sees through Bai’s insinuations, protects Jiang Fang, and records the cliff confrontation that exposes Bai’s attempted murder. 7 32
• Lin Sen — Uneasy ally during the survival program. Lin publicly comforts Bai to preserve appearances but privately resents him and exploits his mistakes. 6 10 18
• Long Aozhi — Early defender who repeatedly sides with Bai against Jiang Fang, though their alliance deteriorates when Long begins openly criticizing and ordering Bai around. 2 18 35
• Madam Bai / Ning Yu — Adoptive mother. She tries to buy Jiang Fang’s forgiveness and threatens him when he refuses, driven by grief and an unhealthy attachment to Bai. 36 38
• Bai Yelei — Adoptive father. He acknowledges Bai’s guilt yet still attempts to secure a forgiveness letter through a five-million-yuan offer. 36
• Bai Zixiao — Adoptive brother who is openly hostile toward Bai and wishes to sever their shared family name. 38
• Cheng Xiao — One of several entertainers reportedly harmed by Bai’s prior “white lotus” tactics and fandom-led cyberbullying campaigns. 34

Story Role / Major Arcs

*Wilderness Survival*

Bai Ziyu arranges Jiang Fang’s participation in Wilderness Survival and pushes him from the helicopter during the opening parachute jump. Jiang survives, undermining the original plan and immediately becoming suspicious of Bai. 1 43

At the crash site, Bai performs exaggerated guilt, claims he tried to catch Jiang Fang, and repeatedly asks whether Jiang blames him. When Jiang hints that someone may have pushed him, Bai becomes visibly panicked and attempts to turn the implication back against him. 2

Throughout the survival challenge, Bai repeatedly undermines Jiang Fang’s campsite decisions and survival competence while presenting his own criticism as concern for the group. His image begins to fracture when Jiang’s practical skill repeatedly proves superior. 4 6 7

Bai’s group becomes increasingly dependent on Jiang Fang’s food and resources. Even after causing conflicts through carelessness—such as burning communal fish—he avoids direct responsibility through tearful apologies and indirect blame. 18 19

Exposure and second attempted murder

When Jiang Fang states that Bai owes him “two lives,” Bai becomes increasingly afraid that his role in the skydiving incident has been discovered. He offers Jiang one million yuan to leave City B, but Jiang refuses and deliberately pressures him into revealing his fear. 24 26

Bai later lures Jiang Fang to a cliff intending to stage a self-inflicted fall and frame him. Jiang’s references to Bai’s hidden secrets cause Bai to lose control; he declares that killing Jiang will prevent “them” from finding out and shoves him toward the slope. 32

Qin Yan arrives in time to save Jiang Fang, while Bai’s momentum sends him over the edge instead. The livestream records the confrontation, turning Bai’s second attempt into a public scandal and prompting police intervention. 32 33

Arrest and sentencing

After falling from the cliff, Bai immediately tries to frame Jiang Fang again by implying that Jiang pushed him. The attempt fails because viewers saw the earlier livestream footage. 33 34

Police detain Bai after reviewing footage from both the helicopter incident and the cliff confrontation. During questioning, he denies trying to kill Jiang Fang but cannot conceal his panic. 35

Bai’s family attempts to obtain Jiang Fang’s forgiveness through threats, monetary offers, and information about Jiang’s biological parents. Jiang rejects every offer. 36

Half a month later, Bai is sentenced to fifteen years in prison for two attempted murders and additional offenses, including harming an important national researcher. 43
