Background

Xuan Yu comes from the greater world of Heavenly Mirror, where his true form is a black dragon and he cultivates the power of space. He and Cai Jinbai grew up, cultivated, and traveled together, eventually becoming inseparable companions. 2

The two formed a life-bound contract under the witness of heaven and earth. The contract allows them to rely on one another through life and death and share vitality; Xuan considers their bond closer than that of blood brothers. 2

When Cai Jinbai entered the lesser world to seek the merit needed for a cultivation breakthrough, Xuan accompanied him without hesitation. They established themselves in S City, where Xuan became vice president of Jinbai Entertainment while remaining Cai's constant companion. 2 5 16

Appearance

In human form, Xuan Yu is an exceptionally handsome, physically imposing man whose dark expression and oppressive bearing intimidate strangers. He is publicly recognizable as Jinbai Entertainment's vice president, usually associated with black clothing and a cold demeanor. 1 16 31

• His true form is a black dragon with glossy, ink-jade-like scales. 12
• He can shrink into a small dragon form and coil around Cai Jinbai's wrist like a bracelet. 12 25
• His dragon eyes can show golden vertical pupils when angered. 8
• His intimidating gaze and aura are strong enough to unsettle ordinary people and even make cameras retreat. 1 31

Personality

Xuan Yu is intensely possessive of Cai Jinbai. He regards Cai as his irreplaceable treasure and reacts badly to anyone—or anything—he believes is encroaching on his place beside him. His jealousy extends even to Cai Jinbao, whom he once flicked into a car window for attempting to imitate his affectionate behavior toward Cai. 8

Despite his volatile temper, Xuan is not unreasonable. Cai can calm him with direct reassurance, and Xuan accepts sincere explanations, including Cai Jinbao's admiration for him. 8 He is notably gentle, attentive, and domestic around Cai: arranging flowers, buying desserts, making gold jewelry, sharing food, and carrying Cai's luggage. 14 22 24 40

Xuan initially understands his attachment to Cai as the natural result of their life-bound contract and shared history. Over time, he becomes aware that his feelings are romantic, including through his exposure to fan communities and fanfiction about the pair. 43 45 He eventually insists that his feelings are genuine rather than merely dragon instinct, beginning a romantic and physical relationship with Cai. 48
