Background / History

Wu Liang is the Wu Family's extravagantly wealthy young master, heir to the Sky Bow Conglomerate, and owner of numerous assets. Before his transformation, he spent seventeen years “eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping,” gaining a reputation as an arrogant, lawless delinquent with poor grades and a signature pompadour. 1 4 8

After being hospitalized by a shot put injury, Wu Liang awakens memories that make him perceive his world as a game. He regards himself as having replaced the original Wu Liang while still experiencing traces of the original's resentment—especially toward the parental affection the original never received. 31 147 His recovery is equally abnormal: the head injury leaves no scar or lasting impairment, while his appearance, physical ability, senses, and intellect improve drastically. 8 40 131

Rather than continue the original villain's path, Wu Liang begins correcting his behavior while keeping a deliberately aloof and occasionally arrogant demeanor. He assists people outside his family, protects classmates, and increasingly uses the Wu Family's resources responsibly. 4 18 31

Appearance

Wu Liang is a tall, muscular young man whose appearance changes so dramatically after abandoning his pompadour that classmates and former enemies struggle to recognize him. His face is described as sharply chiseled, while his physique is notably athletic and proportioned. 8 73 341

• Previously wore a conspicuous pompadour, gold chain, and delinquent-style clothing. 9
• Is over 1.8 meters tall, with solid muscles and pronounced endurance. 37
• Can restyle his hair into the pompadour when he needs former acquaintances to identify him. 73
• His appearance and musculature are repeatedly mistaken for the results of plastic surgery or extreme training. 18 34

Personality

Wu Liang is calm, observant, and unusually self-aware after his awakening. He prefers reading, tea, and avoiding unnecessary confrontations, but retains the original Wu Liang's pride and can become frighteningly aggressive when provoked. 9 74

He is pragmatic about his wealth and influence, using them to obtain medical care for He Jingao, support He Feng's company, and aid Su Qian's family without humiliating the people receiving help. 18 26 381 Although he often frames compassionate actions as whims or practical choices, he repeatedly prioritizes others' safety over his own. 121 224

Wu Liang also thinks in terms of the game's original plot and its “protagonist,” initially trying to avoid outcomes that could lead to his own death. His growing connections with others gradually make him more emotionally invested in changing those outcomes. 39 107 492
