Background / History
Childhood and Musical Training
Song Yunxing is the only child of pianist Song Xiuwen. At twelve, he won the Gold Prize in the Junior Division of the Chopin International Piano Competition, but his father dismissed his achievements as insufficient. His musical discipline developed alongside loneliness and parental pressure: Yunxing later explains that he practiced because his father otherwise stayed away 96 99 100.
At fourteen, Yunxing met sixteen-year-old Shen Yanci when Shen entered his private school practice room and fell asleep on his sofa. Their first encounter ended in an argument over the intrusion. Their relationship changed after Shen discovered Yunxing treating severe welts on his leg and subsequently took him to a concert, where Yunxing briefly relaxed enough to share his enthusiasm 95 96.
When Song Xiuwen ordered him to abandon training and move to England, Yunxing refused. He smashed a car window to escape and waited outside Shen’s home through a storm, repeatedly calling without an answer. Ren Le eventually found him, but he collapsed before reaching shelter. A three-day fever coincided with the failure of his first differentiation, leaving him a Beta 4 100.
Independent Career
Without his father’s support, Yunxing independently became a trainee and debuted in a boy band in Kimchi Country. His group initially struggled to attract fans, and Shen’s already prominent overseas career became a source of motivation during his self-doubt 1 15 100.
After his original contract ended, Yunxing returned home and signed with a new company. He pursued singing while completing schooling he had fallen behind on, eventually achieving success through original albums, film and television theme songs, stage performances, and musicals. Meng Ruo has managed him since his debut 1 4.
Appearance
Yunxing has a slender build, fair skin, amber eyes, and sharply defined features described as blurring masculine and feminine beauty. His striking appearance and voice earned him the fan nickname “Runaway Mermaid” 1 30 66.
- Hair: Silver-haired at his first appearance 1.
- Eyes: Amber, with an alluring peach-blossom shape 30 132.
- Build: Slim-waisted, with toned musculature maintained for concerts 22 40.
- Everyday styling: Often wears hoodies; outside performances, he generally uses sunscreen or light makeup 1 10 32.
Personality
Yunxing is generally gentle, cheerful, and considerate. He is particularly forgiving toward junior artists, sometimes to the detriment of his own publicity, and staff who work with him consistently praise his conduct. His kindness extends to fans: even while struggling through an overcrowded market, he urges people not to push and tries to accept their letters 1 3 21 31.
His professionalism is unusually steady under pressure. He continues recording during a public accusation, endures uncomfortable endorsement work before recognizing deliberate mistreatment, and refuses to let a damaging scandal derail his concert preparations 3 67 129 131.
Around Shen Yanci, he becomes prickly, competitive, and easily embarrassed. He resists conceding defeat during games, wants to match Shen’s accomplishments, and frequently blushes when teased. This defensiveness gradually gives way to greater emotional openness, including admitting that he misses Shen and publicly acknowledging their relationship 30 43 76 117 133.
Despite his softheartedness, Yunxing distinguishes compassion from absolution. He saves Lu Yiyi from assault after she arranges his abduction, but insists that she should face legal consequences. His artistic resolve is similarly firm: he refuses to remove personal declarations from his album simply to avoid commercial risk 57 127.

Omega Physiology
Yunxing’s secondary differentiation begins unexpectedly in adulthood and culminates during the hotel attack 4 58.
| Development | Chapter | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Failed first differentiation | 4 100 | At sixteen, a three-day fever following prolonged exposure to rain leaves him a Beta. |
| Secondary differentiation begins | 4 | A hospital examination confirms renewed differentiation at twenty-five. |
| Omega differentiation | 57 58 | Bartley detects a camellia scent; aphrodisiac incense triggers Yunxing’s sudden differentiation and intense heat. |
| Temporary marking | 59 | Shen asks permission before temporarily marking him, easing his heat enough to escape. |
| Unstable pheromones and dependence | 60 63 70 | His attachment to Shen becomes difficult to separate from the temporary mark’s influence; Shen’s pheromones also soothe him while feverish. |

Story Role / Major Arcs
Viral Scandal and *True or False Lovers*

- A junior dancer falsely claims a relationship with him. Shen counters by posting their signed dating-show contract and dismissing the accuser as a delusional fanboy 3.
- Yunxing joins True or False Lovers intending to clear up the rumors, but their arguments, teamwork, and growing intimacy strengthen the pairing instead 5 21 32.
- Their exposure brings millions of new followers and luxury endorsement offers. His improvised Dreamfloat “Camellia Slumber” commercial goes viral, and the perfume rapidly sells out 33 34.
Abduction and Rescue
- Suspicious of a crew-delivered meal, Yunxing eats little and pretends to be unconscious to expose the culprit. Lu Yiyi takes him to Bartley’s hotel suite for a compromising-photo setup 56 57.
- He interrupts Bartley’s assault on Lu Yiyi, but the room’s incense precipitates his Omega differentiation. He escapes into a locked stairwell as his heat worsens 57 58.
- Shen finds him, offers suppressants, and obtains his agreement to a temporary mark before carrying him out through a broken window 58 59.

*Sunlight* and Public Confirmation
- Yunxing refuses to remove personal messages from Sunlight, explaining that he chose singing so he could perform what he wanted for the person he loved 127.
- Misleading café photographs spark accusations of infidelity, follower losses, and concert-ticket refunds. He advances the album release rather than abandoning his planned public response 128 129.
- At his Tang City concert, he rejects the false allegations, announces his relationship with Shen, and performs a song dedicated to him. Fans respond with support 133.
- Robert and the dating-show production team corroborate the relationship. Blazing Star’s legal department also acts against Yuesheng Entertainment amid the release of footage challenging reporter Pu Xi’s account 134.
Married Life
- After a honeymoon lasting roughly three weeks, Yunxing and Shen resume their respective careers. The extras later place them almost three years into marriage, with Yunxing still active in music and stage performance 141.
