Yan Feizhuo

Biodata

Power Progression

• These advances concern Yan Feizhuo’s Rebel Zone Three technology tree in Cosmos, rather than a personal cultivation realm.

Background / History

Mother and childhood

Yan Feizhuo’s mother, Yan Rushì, left the Yan Family after discovering that Yan Tingyuan had already been married and had a child before becoming involved with her. She removed her mark and took her son away. She taught him that his surname belonged to her, not to the Yan Family, and named him Feizhuo in the hope that he would remain clear-hearted and upright regardless of his surroundings 165 166.

Sheng Nian first met Yan Feizhuo and his mother after getting lost on a rainy day. He subsequently slipped away from his caregivers to visit their little courtyard. As a child, he misread Yan Feizhuo’s name as “Brother Ah Chong,” requiring repeated correction before he could pronounce it properly 13 144.

Yan Feizhuo was the older boy Sheng Nian wanted to marry. Sheng Nian also promised Yan Rushì that he would look after her son. These memories were later lost and forcibly associated with Jiang Shu instead, leaving Sheng Nian unable to recognize Yan Feizhuo when they reunited 140.

Rise to power

Brought back to the Yan Family at eight, Yan Feizhuo spent the following twenty years surviving schemes, frame-ups, and assassination attempts while rising from a despised illegitimate son to family head. His struggle involved rival heirs, senior corporate figures, and both the main and collateral family branches 8 165.

After taking control, he introduced sweeping reforms and expanded Yan Group’s external business at least threefold. The group’s entertainment investments—including films, television dramas, variety shows, and a talent agency—were comparatively small undertakings within its larger operations 8.

He avoided seeking out Sheng Nian for years because exposing his attachment would give his enemies a weakness to exploit. When Sheng Yi later questioned whether Sheng Nian would be safe with him, Yan Feizhuo stated that he had removed every threat before deciding to pursue their relationship 41 106.

Appearance

• Build: Tall and muscular, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and a defined eight-pack 23 51 147.
• Face: Sharply defined features, black eyes, and slightly upturned phoenix eyes 55 80.
• Hair: Naturally short; his long, silver hair as Siren is created with extensions and temporary coloring 55.
• Voice: Deep and resonant, frequently used to tease or coax Sheng Nian 13 80.
• Usual presentation: Tailored business clothing and custom-made accessories. A pale silk shirt with a traditional diagonal fastening gives him a softer, refined appearance than his formal suits 12 28.
• Notable costumes: A black-and-gold Ming-style yesa robe, a deep-blue-scaled Siren design, and a red riding ensemble used for his knight-themed runway appearance 23 55 88 89.

Personality

Yan Feizhuo is controlled, intimidating, and exacting in public. His staff once regarded him as a workaholic interested only in business, and his criticism during a workplace presentation visibly unsettles the room. His history of betrayal also leaves him uncomfortable with unfamiliar people entering his personal space 15 24 55 87.

With Sheng Nian, he becomes teasing, indulgent, and unusually patient. He plays along with being treated as a convenient “tool,” adopts affectionate names, cooks, and quietly adjusts his schedule around Sheng Nian’s needs. He insists that shared everyday activities belong in his own life plans rather than being favors performed merely to keep his partner company 13 79 95 127.

His devotion has a strongly possessive side. He resents romantic interference and privately fears losing Sheng Nian again. Nevertheless, when Sheng Nian resists the Ferris-wheel kiss, he kisses his own hand instead and reassures him that he will not force him 27 28 41 95.

He conceals loneliness and pain behind dependability. He initially withholds their shared past partly to spare Sheng Nian the distress of learning what he endured. When Sheng Nian later comes to comfort him after hearing his mother’s story, Yan Feizhuo finally cries in his arms 140 166.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Reunion on *Heart-Throbbing Observation Diary*

A sabotaged hovercar interrupts Yan Feizhuo’s inspection trip, leading him to visit a nearby broadcasting building instead. There, he recognizes Sheng Nian and unexpectedly begins perceiving his inner thoughts. Believing him to be a system-provided helper, Sheng Nian chooses him as his partner, and Yan Feizhuo agrees to join the show 8 9.

Their Evernight Sky tasks turn the arrangement into an increasingly intimate partnership. Yan Feizhuo secretly saves Sheng Nian’s deleted carousel photographs, accommodates his photo instructions, and refrains from kissing him when he becomes distressed on the Ferris wheel. He later openly tells Jiang Shu that he is the one pursuing Sheng Nian 18 19 28 50.

*Cosmos* Competition and Becoming a Couple

During the Cosmos scenario, Yan Feizhuo allies with Sheng Nian and Tang Jiang while fighting the Federation on the plains. When Ye Heng tries to undermine the alliance by warning that a Zerg victory would cost him the right to choose Sheng Nian as his next partner, Yan Feizhuo refuses to defect 69 70 75.

Afterward, Sheng Nian fears that both Yubao and Yan Feizhuo will disappear once the mission ends. Yan Feizhuo explains his arrangements to restore Yubao’s connection with him and promises to remain. They confirm their relationship, then pair up again for the show’s next stage 80 81.

Protecting Sheng Nian and Recovering Their Past

Yan Feizhuo cares for Sheng Nian after his water-cannon injury, meets Sheng Yi as his boyfriend, and helps investigate threats involving He Gu. Their relationship becomes unmistakably public when they kiss before the livestream camera 104 106 118 121 126.

He later rescues Sheng Nian from Jiang Shu and brings him to Chen Che for treatment before temporarily marking him. Sheng Nian subsequently recovers the truth about their childhood, confronting Yan Feizhuo over the years he endured alone and his decision not to reveal their past 137 138 140.

Confession, Marriage, and Later Life

Sheng Nian performs an original love song for him, which Yan Feizhuo names “Jasmine in the Mist.” Beneath the matchmaking tree, they exchange rings and declarations of love. The self-salvation mission reaches completion, and Yan Feizhuo receives the notification limiting his special ability to another thirty days 177.

Following his proposal, Yan Feizhuo announces plans to marry in late spring or early summer and invites fans through a Starblog attendance draw. Their wedding takes place on May 2, with the couple staying in separate island villas beforehand 192 194.

During their secluded honeymoon, he cares for a temporarily miniature Sheng Nian, arranging tiny clothes, meals, a castle, and a safe sleeping space beside his pillow 196.
