Background / History
Mu Shaoxuan is the Mu family’s second young master, described through Jiang Ze’s recollection as an eighth-generation wealthy heir from B City. His leisurely lifestyle revolves around eating, drinking, and entertainment, but he also has a sharp investment sense: Jiang remembers that even his casually chosen projects tend to make money 8.
In the original novel, My White Moonlight, Mu belongs to the childhood friends who remain loyal to Meng Zhiyuan and offer help after his downfall. Jiang recalls that these friends also meet miserable ends because of the protagonists’ plot armor; Mu’s precise original fate is not disclosed 8.
Appearance
Mu is described as handsome and playboy-like, with an expressive face that readily betrays his surprise 8 68.
- Expressive reactions: His face shifts dramatically when he suspects Meng Zhiyuan is involved with Jiang Ze 8.
- Casual mannerisms: He sprawls beside Jiang on the office couch and smooths his hair before answering Meng’s reprimand 8 24.
Personality
Mu is flippant, outspoken, and unusually comfortable teasing Meng Zhiyuan. He jokes about Meng’s long bachelorhood, complains about his temper and germophobia, and repeatedly accuses him of putting romance before friendship. He nevertheless knows when to retreat: Meng’s irritation makes him return to business, while a threat to withdraw investment immediately turns him cooperative 8 24 40 88.
He is also an enthusiastic gossip and social organizer. He keeps Jiang informed about Wild Mountain Survival and Shen Yun’s public reception, invites friends to his investments, and arranges outings around food and entertainment 35 36 38 85 87.
His joking manner gives way to practical concern during emergencies. He helps investigate Jiang’s disappearance, condemns Meng for secretly imprisoning him, and maintains his composure after the car crash because Jiang needs support 23 91 92.
