Background / History
Life in the Ji Family
Lin Jun’s relationship with Ji Shengming places an ordinary D-rank Omega alongside an S-rank Alpha. Ji Shengming repeatedly uses his pheromones to suppress Lin Jun, including when Lin Jun disagrees with him, and takes his business frustrations out on him at home. Witnessing this treatment contributes to Ji Chi’s hostility toward Ji Shengming and fear of becoming powerless before a stronger partner 12 17 48.
Ji Chi remembers Ji Shengming once driving Lin Jun away. He also recalls asking whether Lin Jun remained in the family for his sake; Lin Jun denied it, saying that he did not regard a child as shackles. Ji Chi consequently interprets his continued attachment to Ji Shengming as love, although he struggles to understand why Lin Jun stays despite the harm 42 49.
Boshen Group’s Suppressant Scandal
Lin Jun first questions Ji Chi about Huo Jin over breakfast. When Ji Chi denies knowing him, Lin Jun points out that he had previously called people to find Huo Jin 10 11.
Although Lin Jun almost never visits Boshen Group and leaves its management to Ji Shengming, the suppressant scandal makes him intervene. He explains the disputed acquisition timeline, public boycott, falling stock price, and unsuccessful attempts to contact Huo Jin. He also states that the family would accept responsibility if the company were genuinely at fault. Seeing his distress, Ji Chi investigates and eventually contacts Huo Jin despite wanting to avoid him 11 12.
Before Ji Chi’s meeting, Lin Jun selects a mint-green outfit, designer beret, and fresh perfume to make him appear gentler and more approachable. Ji Chi protests but wears it rather than disappoint him. Lin Jun instructs him to keep his temper even if Huo Jin turns him down 14.
Learning About Ji Chi’s Mark
When Ji Chi’s stuffed rabbit disappears, Lin Jun discovers that his young cousin took it. He gently teaches the child that the toy is not his to keep and returns it. Recognizing Ji Chi’s distress and the rabbit’s connection to Huo Jin, he declines to press for an explanation 18.
Later, Lin Jun confiscates Ji Chi’s cigarette after finding him smoking heavily beside a glass of liquor. He answers Ji Chi’s questions about a powerful partner who refrains from pheromone suppression, explaining that restraint can reflect respect or feelings too strong to permit hurting the other person 24.
Ji Chi then confesses that Huo Jin marked him two months earlier. Lin Jun initially fears that his request for help with Boshen caused the incident, but Ji Chi corrects him. He embraces his frightened son and asks what he wants to do. Their discussion turns into an argument over whether pheromone attraction can be love; after Ji Chi attacks his parents’ relationship verbally and apologizes, Lin Jun makes him sweep the courtyard as punishment 25.
Lin Jun remains in contact after Ji Chi moves in with Huo Jin. When Ji Chi goes drinking, he asks whether the two are together and suggests that staying near Huo Jin may make him more comfortable if he does not dislike him 46.
Assault and Hospitalization
During another of Ji Shengming’s violent outbursts, Lin Jun collapses amid wrecked furniture and shattered objects, bleeding from his forehead. Song Lin shields him while Ji Chi returns home. Lin Jun’s weak call interrupts Ji Chi’s attempt to strike Ji Shengming, and he catches Ji Chi’s wrist when his son threatens to kill him. Ji Chi begs him to divorce Ji Shengming and promises to support him, but Lin Jun is too weak to answer 48.
Song Lin carries Lin Jun out while Ji Chi prevents Ji Shengming from following. Gu Baizhou arranges emergency stabilization at the hospital. After treatment, the forehead wound is assessed as minor; the doctor recommends a stabilizer injection, a light diet, and avoiding his partner’s pheromones for several days. Huo Jin agrees to let Lin Jun stay with him after discharge 48 49 50.
In a private consultation, Lin Jun acknowledges that the family environment has deeply affected Ji Chi and correctly suspects that his son loves Huo Jin. Gu Baizhou explains that Ji Chi retains memories of his heat periods but loses access to their emotional content once lucid, describing this as a protective response rather than a split personality or schizophrenia 50.
Appearance
- Delicate features: At forty, Lin Jun looks little different from a man in his early thirties 10.
- Gentle expression: His worry over Boshen makes his already poor health and physical frailty more apparent 11.
Personality
Lin Jun is perceptive, composed, and careful with Ji Chi’s privacy. He notices evasions and emotional changes without demanding immediate explanations. His belief that no one should be constrained leads him to give Ji Chi considerable freedom, waiting for his son to raise personal matters himself 18 24 25 26.
His gentleness does not exclude discipline. He stops Ji Chi’s excessive smoking and punishes disrespect with chores. He can also be stubborn: Ji Chi describes him as someone who quietly sulks when ignored, which helps persuade him to accept Lin Jun’s choice of outfit 14 24 25.
Lin Jun teaches consideration rather than dominance. He explains that respecting Omegas means restraining anger instead of using violence or pheromones, and Ji Chi remembers his insistence that even Alphas have the right to cry. His advice also warns against staking everything on another person’s uncertain affection 24 42 49.
Relationships
- Ji Chi — Son and closest confidant. Lin Jun is the person Ji Chi respects most and the only family member he readily listens to; Ji Chi offers to support him if he leaves Ji Shengming 10 12 48.
- Ji Shengming — Partner and Boshen Group chairman. Their relationship involves repeated intimidation and pheromone suppression; Ji Chi believes love explains Lin Jun’s decision to remain 12 17 49.
- Huo Jin — Ji Chi’s Enigma partner. Lin Jun learns of the mark, advises Ji Chi about his feelings, and later receives an offer of accommodation after hospitalization 25 46 50.
- Song Lin — Ji Chi’s childhood friend and a family acquaintance. He shields Lin Jun from Ji Shengming and helps take him to hospital 48 49.
- Gu Baizhou — Doctor who arranges Lin Jun’s emergency care and privately seeks his help in addressing Ji Chi’s emotional defenses 49 50.
