Lu Ye

Biodata

Background / History

Differentiation and surveillance

Lu Ye attended Qingyuan and differentiated at eighteen. His memories of that year became fragmented, leaving him unable to recall many events—including rescuing the eleven-year-old Xie Lin. According to Shen Qing'an, he had been deeply taken with the rescued child and said he would marry him when he grew up, but subsequently forgot him 82 84 168 173.

His exceptional Alpha abilities brought intense restrictions. After differentiation, he was monitored almost around the clock for research and, more importantly, because authorities feared he would lose control. He came to regard the designation “top Alpha” as a cage and disliked hearing anyone use it 47.

Without a compatible Omega's soothing, his mental power grew increasingly unstable. His family doctor predicted that he would break down before thirty, while the Alpha Alliance Association was expected to take charge of him if he lost control 62 82.

Meeting Xie Lin again

While travelling by Maybach shortly before a rut, Lu Ye detected a faint orange fragrance and ordered Zhan Ying to investigate. The scent led him to a factory, where he encountered a bloodied Xie Lin and caught an attack aimed at his throat between two fingers. Xie Lin's pheromones immediately soothed his unstable mental power 1.

Lu Ye subsequently learned that Xie Lin was engaged to Fu Yunxi but refused to regard the engagement as an insurmountable obstacle. He arranged for the people who had threatened Xie Lin to be imprisoned and discovered their 93% pheromone compatibility 2 5.

Courtship on *Heartbeat Time Difference*

Lu Ye openly pursued Xie Lin on the dating show, calling him his wife before they were a couple. Once Xie Lin declared himself single, Lu Ye introduced himself again and offered to transfer all his personal assets to him. Xie Lin rejected the offer, but Lu Ye continued courting him without embarrassment 5 6.

His support extended beyond flirting. He arranged a top medical team for Xie Lin's grandfathers, cooked eight dishes for Xie Lin's team during a challenge, and repeatedly confronted Fu Yunxi over his treatment of Xie Lin 7 16 23. During the crossover with Star Rush, he also eliminated his own teammate, Xie Yunfan, after the man tried to steal supplies and insulted Xie Lin 47 48.

With Xie Lin's agreement, Lu Ye spent a six-day rut at Snow Hall using a temporary mark rather than entering his usual confinement. Beforehand, he promised Xie Lin's grandfathers that he would not force him. He emerged in markedly better condition than after previous ruts 32.

Dating, proposal, and marriage

After Xie Lin agreed to date him, Lu Ye rushed him to hospital when he collapsed with a 40°C fever and remained anxiously at his bedside. Their relationship also included substantial material gifts: Lu Ye transferred property worth over one hundred million into Xie Lin's name 101 121.

Lu Ye later arranged a proposal at a mountaintop hotel. He presented a blue diamond ring and promised lifelong fidelity when Xie Lin asked whether he could remain faithful. Xie Lin accepted in front of Jiang Si, Mu Huazhang, and Yan Su 161 162.

The discovery that Lu Ye was Xie Lin's childhood rescuer finally resolved the mystery of “Pretty Older Brother.” Lu Ye apologized for forgetting him and soon urged Xie Lin to skip the engagement and register their marriage. He also persuaded him to move in 168 169 171.

Married life and parenthood

After their wedding, Xie Lin developed severe abdominal pain, prompting Lu Ye to rush him to hospital. They learned that Xie Lin was thirty days pregnant. Lu Ye apologized, informed his grandfathers, and offered to accept punishment from Wen Xubai, who instead told him to be more careful 177.

In the later family storyline, Lu Ye and Xie Lin have a child named Xie Ye. While Xie Lin is away on business, Lu Ye leaves Dingchi to attend a kindergarten meeting after their child gets into a fight 182.

Appearance

• Face: Handsome, hard-edged features, thin lips, and long phoenix eyes; his expression becomes noticeably softer when smiling at Xie Lin 10 13 62.
• Build: Tall and muscular, appearing slim when dressed but visibly powerful without his shirt 6 57.
• Complexion: Pale skin that readily shows marks; Xie Lin's slap leaves a visible red handprint on his arm 6.
• Bearing: Often cold and intimidating in professional settings, contrasting sharply with his openly affectionate manner around Xie Lin 62 182.

Personality

Before reconnecting with Xie Lin, Lu Ye was cold, unapproachable, and difficult even for his family to understand. His worsening mental instability made his temperament increasingly unpredictable. Around Xie Lin, however, he becomes playful, clingy, and eager for affection—a transformation Wu Xinyou compares to a large golden retriever 62.

He is shamelessly persistent in romance. Rejection rarely embarrasses him, and he readily turns small gestures into evidence of a future marriage. Xie Lin accepting food from his plate is enough for him to boast to his friends that he is getting married 6 13 144. His competitive streak persists even during their proposal celebration, when he insists that he loves Xie Lin more 162.

His devotion coexists with intense jealousy and a capacity for violence. Believing that Xie Lin's childhood rescuer was another Alpha, he privately contemplated finding and killing the man—without realizing that he was the person in question. Nevertheless, seeing Xie Lin distraught also makes him prioritize his happiness over his own jealousy 82 168.

Lu Ye frequently yields to Xie Lin's reprimands, but he is not consistently restrained: threats, intimidation, and physical retaliation remain part of his response to perceived danger. Xie Lin repeatedly intervenes to stop him from escalating confrontations 12 48 120 153.
