Background / History
Dai Mubai first encounters Zhang Tianyu at the Rose Hotel in Suotuo City, where he attempts to claim the last available room while accompanied by twin sisters.

He concedes and ultimately pays Zhang Tianyu 80,000 Gold Soul Coins. 15

He is close friends with Ma Hongjun and is initially known for womanizing. His habit of seeing multiple women is exposed in front of Zhu Zhuqing, worsening her contempt for him. Though he attempts to distance himself from Ma Hongjun's conduct and becomes increasingly concerned with Zhu Zhuqing's opinion, his past behavior continues to damage their relationship. 24 31
Dai Mubai repeatedly seeks Zhang Tianyu's advice on reconciling with Zhu Zhuqing. He becomes jealous of Zhang Tianyu's growing closeness with her, but also relies on Zhang Tianyu's guidance and support. 35 38 56 63

After Zhu Zhuqing explicitly rejects both their engagement and the life expected of them, Dai Mubai acknowledges that he never understood what she wanted and calls himself an unqualified fiancé.
