Power Progression

Background and History

Yue Xiaofei arrived in this world after an ambush ended his previous life as an elite special-forces soldier. The body he entered belonged to an eighteen-year-old student with the same name. While earning money at a construction site, he learned that he had topped Jiangbei Province’s science-track college entrance exam with 735 points 1.

He initially believed his father, Yue Changlong, was imprisoned, his mother Ye Qingmei had died, his brother Yue Feng was missing, and his grandfather Yue Qinhu had dementia. When Gao Zisheng targeted him, Xiaofei carried his grandfather’s Pillar of the Country plaque and the family’s medals to military headquarters to seek justice. The ensuing scrutiny confirmed the service of his grandfather and two uncles and brought him allies among their former comrades 1 3 11.

His search for his father led through disputed prison records, allegations of treason and evidence that the official account concealed a larger operation. He continued pursuing proof of who had framed Yue Changlong, even after learning that his father was not in Yanshan Prison as he had been told 234 325 711 713.

After surviving a near-fatal injury and receiving Emperor’s Nectar, Xiaofei chose to join Bureau 7 rather than lead a safer life. He later rose to major general; his national service included confronting Japanese commanders, planting the Dragon Kingdom’s flag on Mount Fuji and protecting people in Modu from a catastrophe 347 348 606 699.

Appearance

Xiaofei is introduced with a sun-darkened, slightly boyish face. Later descriptions emphasize his tall build, sharply defined features and steady, deep-set gaze 1 756.

• He often dresses plainly enough that strangers fail to recognize his rank or standing 606 627.
• His major general’s dress uniform bears a single gold star 606.

Personality

Xiaofei is persistent about his family’s honor and unwilling to exchange justice for personal advancement: he refuses Wang Hongtao’s scholarship, expenses and career offer rather than abandon his accusations against Gao Zisheng 212. He likewise joins Bureau 7 because he wants to serve his country, despite his protectors’ objections 347.

He usually stays composed when mocked or underestimated and sees little value in explaining himself to hostile audiences. Against threats, that restraint can give way to intimidation and severe retaliation. He also rejects political protection when he believes accepting it would make him another family’s pawn 712 708 781.
