Background / History

Chi Yang maintains the public image of a reckless, nightlife-loving street racer. Tabloids report that he caused a Jiu Pharmaceutical transport truck to overturn during a late-night race, damaging Chongning Biopharmaceutical’s reputation and stock price 3.

His apparent conflict with Chi Baichuan is ultimately revealed to be part of the family’s strategy: lowering Chongning’s share price so the family can buy back stock and remove disruptive shareholders 8 9. His birthday banquet is intended to formally establish him as the Chi family heir, ending the need to sustain his playboy façade 25.

In Chi Ning’s previous life, Chi Yang died in an accident while racing on mountain roads. After his rebirth, Chi Ning tries to keep him away from dangerous racing companions and later suspects the “accident” may have involved deliberate vehicle tampering 4 25.

Appearance

Chi Yang is notably tall, standing around 1.90 meters, and is five years older than Chi Ning 5.

• Often wears loose, fashionable shirts with undone buttons and deliberately messy hair, reinforcing his rebellious public image 4.
• His oversized trench coat can cover Chi Ning almost completely 5.
• Wore a matching white suit with Chi Ning while receiving guests at his birthday banquet 37.

Personality

Chi Yang comes across as cold, sarcastic, and unruly, especially when dealing with his father or the media. Beneath that performance, he is intensely affectionate toward Chi Ning and takes pride in being recognized as his only elder brother 3 5.

He is protective to the point of overreaction. He worries that Chi Ning is too sheltered to recognize danger, restricts where he can go alone, and remains wary of Qin Heng’s influence even after Qin repeatedly helps the family 4 13 58.

Though he accepts the burden of becoming the heir, Chi Yang also has a playful, easily flustered side. Small expressions of appreciation from Chi Ning visibly affect him, particularly when Chi Ning calls having an older brother “wonderful” 10.
