Personality
Lu Yihao is fiercely protective of Lu Yichen but dismissive and cruel toward Lu Xingchen. He beats Lu Xingchen’s pets at Lu Yichen’s request and treats Lu Xingchen’s resistance as ingratitude rather than a response to abuse. He expects the deference the original Lu Xingchen once showed him and becomes angry when that deference disappears 4 5 32.
His confidence rests partly on the Lu family’s influence. During Run Faster, he and Lu Yichen initially assume that the production team will not enforce the game’s alarm penalties against young masters backed by the Lu Group. He also publicly suggests that the crew is targeting them over their unsuitable clothing, despite their assistants having received instructions 11 13 21.
His loyalty to Lu Yichen has limits. He recognizes that Lu Yichen instigated the pool incident but remains silent when Lu Yichen falsely blames Lu Xingchen. Later, he stops trying to help Lu Yichen as soon as Lu Wenshan orders him back and Lu Yize signals him not to intervene 115 117.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Abuse of Xiao Huang and Tofu
Lu Yihao first appears attacking Xiao Huang and Tofu while Lu Yichen complains about the animals. He promises to dispose of both pets and throw Lu Xingchen out with them. Lu Xingchen interrupts, slams Lu Yichen to the ground, and then grabs Lu Yihao by the hair and repeatedly slaps him until he loses consciousness 4.
While Lu Yihao is unconscious, Lu Xingchen draws on his face with a stick smeared in the animals’ excrement. Lu Yihao later awakens and curses at him, only to vomit after discovering the filth on his face. The confrontation ends with Zhou Fenglan paying Lu Xingchen fifty million yuan before he leaves with the pets 5 7 8.

Banquet Confrontation and Family Collapse
At the Lu family banquet, Lu Yihao accompanies Lu Yichen to confront Lu Xingchen and demand help for the Lu Corporation through Huo Chuyun. He defends the family’s favoritism toward Lu Yichen by invoking Lu Yichen’s supposedly pitiful orphanage background 115.
When Lu Yichen tries to push Lu Xingchen from the balcony, Lu Xingchen dodges and sends him into the pool. Lu Yihao grabs Lu Xingchen’s arm and is pushed in as well. He helps Lu Yichen stand, points out that the water is shallow, and briefly challenges his version of events before yielding to his tearful expression 115.
