Background / History

Previous Life and Recovery

Jia Lie Ao was a playboy before transmigrating and intended to pursue even more women in his new life. His ambitions included Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yun Yun, whom he believed he could win over through his mind-reading ability 17.

After a robbery cost the Jia Lie Family nine hundred thousand gold coins, he was severely beaten despite handing over the money. While his young stepmother, Aunt Mei, treated his injuries, he made advances toward her, then adopted a considerate manner and presented her with her favorite lychees 17.

Failed Pursuit of Xiao Xun'er

By his next encounter with Xiao Xun'er, Jia Lie Ao had suffered two beatings from a mysterious black-robed man. Reading her thoughts revealed that the attacker was Ling Ying. His attempt to appear courteous failed: Xun'er suspected another seduction trick, preferred Xiao Yan, and wanted to avoid him. With Ling Ying guarding her, Jia Lie Ao suspended his pursuit 21 22.

Plot Against Immortal Chen

After reading Immortal Chen’s thoughts, Jia Lie Ao learned his plans and regarded him as a potential major rival in Wutan City. His own One-Star Dou Zhe strength was insufficient to confront Chen, and he feared risking his father’s protection by involving Jia Lie Bi directly 26.

Ling Ying subsequently seized him, accused him of helping Chen swindle customers, and forced him to perform Dou Techniques. Although spared another beating that day, Jia Lie Ao resented the humiliation and devised a scheme to turn Ling Ying against Chen 26.

He proceeded only after confirming that Ling Ying had come to protect Xiao Yan. The scheme nevertheless earned him another beating before he could explain himself. Claiming to be Xiao Yan’s friend, he warned Ling Ying that Chen intended to harm Xiao Yan that day and revealed that Chen was a Dou Huang 30 31 32.

His warning brought Ling Ying to Chen’s hut, where Xiao Yan had already dealt with Chen. Ling Ying’s explanation also alerted Xiao Yan that Jia Lie Ao had known both Chen’s intentions and his strength 33.

Market Competition and Auction

Jia Lie Bi credited his son’s advice with rapidly increasing the family’s market profits. Their inexpensive rejuvenation powder attracted mercenaries and merchants, while traffic in the Xiao Clan’s markets fell by nearly half. Jia Lie Ao was using a wheelchair by this point 37.

At the Mittel Auction House, Jia Lie Ao used his knowledge of the original story to anticipate the offerings. He promised that the family could obtain the Black Tier High Grade Wind Scroll Technique for less than five hundred thousand gold coins 38 42.

The bidding initially appeared ready to close at four hundred and thirty thousand, leaving enough money for the final item. Xiao Yan’s intervention upset that calculation. Jia Lie Ao ultimately bid seven hundred thousand on his father’s behalf, then reassured the angry Jia Lie Bi that the expense was part of his plan 43.

He collected the technique, but the purchase left only one hundred thousand gold coins available. Jia Lie Bi nevertheless drove the subsequent Pill Formula auction to four hundred and ten thousand, creating a payment problem when Xiao Yan stopped bidding 44.

Appearance

Jia Lie Ao is described as a handsome young man 17.

• Thin lips and a somewhat pale complexion distinguish his appearance 17.
• An effeminate appearance, in Xiao Xun'er’s judgment, contributes to her unfavorable impression of him 22.
• Injuries affecting his lower back and mobility lead him to rely on a carriage; he later appears limping and then seated in a wheelchair 21 30 37.

Personality

Jia Lie Ao combines sexual ambition with calculated manipulation. He uses gifts, flattering declarations, and feigned concern to cultivate Aunt Mei’s affection, while privately anticipating inheriting his father’s possessions—and treating her as part of that inheritance. His household status also enables arrogant behavior toward servants and intimidating conduct by his attendants 17 21 26.

Despite his bravado, he is cautious when he cannot assess an opponent. His inability to read Xiao Yan’s thoughts makes him reluctant to act directly, and he abandons his immediate pursuit of Xun'er after recognizing the obstacles. That caution competes with pride: he congratulates himself on his schemes and apparent business brilliance, then presents setbacks as deliberate parts of his plan 22 32 43.
