Qi Yu

Biodata

Power Progression

Qi Yu is already a supreme-grade Alpha when introduced. His later documented growth concerns combat technique and coordination rather than a new named rank 10 292 296.

Background / History

Military career and withdrawal

Qi Yu entered the battlefield in his teens and spent ten years fighting without leaving, becoming the Empire’s youngest general and a celebrated war hero. Despite his standing, no Omega had exceeded 5% pheromone compatibility with him, leaving him with years of dangerous dysregulation 10.

His first official battle nearly killed him. Enemy bombardment destroyed his mech and killed everyone else present; he survived long enough for Bai Luochuan to reach him and administer medicine. Qi Yu later explains that internal unrest and external threats had left the Empire unable to send sufficient reinforcements 151.

When his body could no longer endure frontline service, he was withdrawn and assigned responsibility for stabilizing the family company. He describes both military service and business management as paths largely chosen for him by others 195 236.

Five-year long-distance relationship

Qi Yu dated Bai Luochuan for five years through calls, video chats, gifts, and game-mediated dates. He regarded Bai Luochuan as a real person and wanted to meet him, while Bai Luochuan believed Qi Yu was a romance-game character. Qi Yu exhausted his resources investigating his lover’s identity and whereabouts without finding him 1 2 48.

Their separation became especially traumatic when Qi Yu witnessed what appeared to be Bai Luochuan’s death through the screen, unable to reach or embrace him. When Bai Luochuan reappeared with a changed face, Qi Yu initially demanded to know where his lover had gone 2 3.

Qi Yu’s family knew about the relationship, but his father believed that he had fallen in love with a virtual character. Qi Yu himself had noticed anomalies in their connection, including the strange lack of signal, but stopped pressing for a meeting after Bai Luochuan repeatedly declined 1 195 204.

Dating-show reunion

Qi Yu joined the dating show to determine whether its Bai Luochuan was his lover, initially concealing his face and voice beneath a mascot head. His affectionate behavior proved so unlike his public image that both Bai Luochuan and viewers suspected he was an impersonator 6 10 14.

He tried to bridge the misunderstanding by recreating their earlier dates, including a haunted-hospital encounter and their ritual of holding opposite ends of a tie. He eventually had Bai Luochuan open the game while he stood outside his room, establishing that the man on the screen and the man at the door were the same person 12 14 47 48.

Bai Luochuan later differentiated into an Omega, significantly improving Qi Yu’s pheromone condition. The pair also discovered that their history involved time travel: Bai Luochuan had physically rescued Qi Yu before their online romance, with later game dates allowing him to experience those rescues 97 104 145 151 258.

Return to military service

After filming, Qi Yu and Bai Luochuan began living and working together. Bai Luochuan joined Qi Yu’s company, then later accompanied him to the military base. Qi Yu’s mother resumed the CEO role, allowing him to return with his family’s support 193 204 238.

As supreme commander, Qi Yu personally took over the training of a group of recruits that included Bai Luochuan. He also advocated adding hand-to-hand combat against monsters to regular training, arguing that soldiers should have another means of surviving an emergency 241 261.

On a Desolate Planet deployment, Qi Yu and Bai Luochuan fought together in a prototype mecha and encountered unexpectedly coordinated monsters. Qi Yu suspected that the enemy had gathered specifically to trap him, then pursued an investigation with command’s approval. After the battle, he continued handling his duties from home while caring for Bai Luochuan 276 278 285.

Marriage

Qi Yu placed considerable importance on their wedding, rings, and shared commemorations. He proposed while wearing a suit matching Bai Luochuan’s, and the two later exchanged matching rings at their wedding 235 237 309.

After the ceremony, Qi Yu’s parents handled the business guests while the newlyweds returned to their home. Although Qi Yu raised the possibility of furnishing another residence, they recognized that their sense of belonging came from being together rather than from a particular house 310.

Appearance

Qi Yu is tall, pale, and muscular, with long silver-white hair and golden eyes. His usual cold, distant public expression contrasts sharply with the smiling, openly affectionate manner he adopts around Bai Luochuan 3 6 45 89 110 132.

• Golden eyes — often become visibly animated when Bai Luochuan appears or gives him attention 51 71.
• Pointed canine teeth — show in the familiar smile he gives Bai Luochuan 10.
• White fox ears and tail — can emerge when he becomes emotionally excited; his tail readily betrays his mood 110 295.
• Battle scars — bears numerous scars from years of warfare, although the medicine used during his early rescue healed wounds and removed scars from that incident 152.
• True form — an enormous white Nine-Tailed Fox, large enough to carry Bai Luochuan on his back 222 292.

Personality

Qi Yu’s public reputation centers on decisiveness, ruthlessness, and overwhelming military strength. Around Bai Luochuan, he instead becomes playful, flirtatious, and openly needy, frequently using a sweet voice or feigned helplessness to obtain affection. This contrast repeatedly astonishes viewers familiar with the Empire’s “God of War” 14 28 109 187.

His devotion is accompanied by persistent insecurity. Five years of being unable to meet or reliably locate Bai Luochuan leave him afraid of abandonment even after they reunite. He experiences possessive fantasies and jealousy, but consciously restrains them because he values Bai Luochuan’s freedom and wants to deserve his trust 170 180 194 208.

He rejects the idea that secondary gender or pheromone compatibility should determine love. Although protective to the point of fussing over Bai Luochuan’s health, he generally presents options rather than deciding his partner’s life for him. His willingness to support Bai Luochuan’s choices contrasts with his own history of having his future determined by others 5 195 211.

Danger also brings out a different side of him: when he realizes that the monsters may have deliberately trapped him, he admits that the situation excites him. In battle, he nevertheless works to keep emotional concerns from overriding his judgment 276 284.

Abilities & Skills

Supreme-grade Alpha Physiology

Qi Yu’s supreme-grade status grants him physical capabilities far beyond those of ordinary Alphas 89 151.

• Survived catastrophic battlefield injuries long enough to receive lifesaving treatment 151.
• Outclasses Yan Cheng in both physical ability and pheromone rank 89.
• Can break the ropes restraining his hands during a staged performance 170.
• Exerts a pronounced instinctive attraction on Omegas, even with a glance 45.

Nine-Tailed Fox Transformation

Qi Yu can assume a gigantic white Nine-Tailed Fox form and retain fox features while otherwise appearing human 110 222.

• Carries Bai Luochuan toward the mountains in his full beast form 222.
• Uses his tail with enough precision to operate a door lock 48.
• Develops his true form into a practical fighting method when a game scenario leaves him no other weapons 292.
• His ears and tail are emotionally expressive rather than always fully concealed 110 295.

Mecha Piloting and Command

Qi Yu combines extensive frontline experience with command responsibilities and hands-on instruction 10 241 288.

• Pilots a prototype mecha through hours of combat while Bai Luochuan operates its rear weapons 276.
• Identifies suspicious enemy coordination and presses for intelligence useful to future deployments 276 278.

Pheromone Condition and Compatibility

Qi Yu’s strength does not protect him from Pheromone Dysregulation Disorder. Before Bai Luochuan’s differentiation, his inability to find a sufficiently compatible Omega left him in a prolonged, potentially fatal condition 10.

• Initially rejects the suggestion that he needs another Omega, interpreting the subject as a threat to his fidelity 74.
• His condition improves substantially after Bai Luochuan becomes an Omega 145.
• Must moderate pheromone release around Bai Luochuan because of his partner’s heightened sensitivity 145.
• Can approach and touch Bai Luochuan’s Fire Dragon form without suffering the extreme heat that harms other living beings and destroys equipment; this is shown as an exception specific to their interaction 227 267.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Prototype mecha — deployed on the Desolate Planet; accommodates Bai Luochuan as copilot and rear-weapons operator 276.
• Tie — used to recreate their screen-era dating ritual by giving Bai Luochuan one end to hold; Qi Yu also brings one on a hike as a pretext for assistance 14 28.
• Phone and game connection — their principal means of communication during the five-year relationship and the tool used to demonstrate Qi Yu’s real-world identity 1 47 48.
• Burgundy birthday suit — a gift from Bai Luochuan that Qi Yu wears repeatedly and keeps among his frequently used clothes 193.
• Wedding ring — one of a matching pair exchanged with Bai Luochuan during their ceremony 309.

Relationships

• Bai Luochuan — Lover of five years and eventual husband. Each becomes the other’s emotional anchor; their relationship develops from screen-mediated companionship into shared work, military service, and marriage. Qi Yu affectionately addresses him as “Ge” and often calls him his wife 1 124 194 309.

• He Gui — Fellow guest whom Qi Yu protects when Yan Cheng attempts to redirect his anger into a physical confrontation 89.
