Background

Lu Mingfei considers himself an ordinary, cowardly “loser” who was unwillingly pulled into dragon-slaying and world-saving affairs after entering Kassel Academy. Before learning about his future, his ideal life was modest: earning enough money, finding someone he loved, taking over a neighborhood newsstand, and living without financial worries. He doubts that he truly deserves his S-rank status. 33

His most dangerous advantage is his connection to Lu Mingze, the self-proclaimed “Little Demon.” Lu Mingfei has made two bargains with him, each costing a quarter of his lifespan. He fears Lu Mingze’s manipulation, yet repeatedly finds that Lu Mingze is the only one capable of saving him when he is cornered. 33

After joining the Heavens Chat Group, Lu Mingfei reads Dragon Raja and learns of tragedies surrounding Erii, Sakura, Old Tang, Xia Mi, and others. The knowledge leaves him devastated, but also makes it impossible for him to continue ignoring the secrets of Black Swan Port, Zero, Renata, and the Authority. 32 33

Appearance

Lu Mingfei is a young man who first arrives at Water Mirror Peak in a T-shirt and jeans, appearing timid but curious. 35

• Has distinctive golden eyes capable of exerting enough pressure to frighten other half-bloods. 42
• His uncontrolled absorption of spiritual energy once left him temporarily swollen into a round, grotesque shape; Zhongli confirms that refining the excess qi will restore him. 42
• During his trip to Japan, he is noted for his untidy “bird’s nest” hair. 35

Personality

Lu Mingfei is self-deprecating, anxious, and uncomfortable with being treated as a hero. He would rather have a peaceful and stable life than pursue greatness, viewing his extraordinary circumstances as burdens rather than privileges. 33 38

Despite his habit of retreating into humor and pessimism, he cannot fully abandon people in danger. Learning Erii’s fate leaves him determined to save her, and he eventually resolves to confront Lu Mingze rather than continue avoiding the truth. 35 44

He is easily embarrassed by romantic discussions and by the attention given to his alternate selves. However, he genuinely values the support he receives from the chat group and feels guilty that he has accepted cultivation resources, spiritual fruits, and guidance without offering much in return. 38 45
