Fu Yunyi

Biodata

Power Progression

Fu Yunyi’s development is shown through practical martial-arts achievements rather than named cultivation ranks.

Background / History

Fu Yunyi was born into the wealthy Fu family. His parents died following an accident, leaving Old Master Fu to manage the family’s grief, care for his grandson, and stabilize the company after losing his expected successor. Fu Chi subsequently helped shoulder his father’s workload 157.

The family protected Fu Yunyi’s personal information before his university graduation. After graduating, he entered entertainment because he genuinely enjoyed acting—not because he had lost an inheritance struggle with Fu Chi, as outsiders speculated. Avoiding his workaholic uncle’s attempts to give him company duties was an additional attraction 85 157 179 199.

Fu Yunyi neither advertised his family connections everywhere nor deliberately concealed them. This encouraged contradictory industry rumors: some recognized his wealthy background, while others dismissed it as publicity manufactured by his company 199.

Appearance

Fu Yunyi is handsome, tall, and imposing, with a cool public image that contrasts sharply with his livelier behavior among friends and family 104 333.

• Family resemblance: His eyes and brows bear a noticeable resemblance to Fu Chi’s, although their temperaments are very different 20 107.
• Youthful appearance: In a white T-shirt and jeans, he can look like a college student 345.
• Casual fashion: One outfit consists of a navy printed jacket, a skull-print T-shirt, and black cargo pants 177.

Personality

Fu Yunyi is blunt, proud, and selective about whom he respects. He does not become deferential simply because another celebrity is more famous. On an earlier production with Zhou Kai, he largely kept to his scripts and friends because he found no one else worth getting close to. His arrogance and lack of tact have damaged his popularity within the industry 67 210 284.

Around people he accepts, he is playful, curious, and willing to admit his shortcomings. He enthusiastically asks Qin Yue to teach him wood-chopping after she succeeds where he repeatedly fails, without resenting being outperformed. His rowdy behavior with Wang Chengran and Xue Ranran dismantles his aloof public persona during Incredible Life 31 104.

His refusal to tolerate unfairness extends beyond himself. Xia Zhiyi observes that, over three years, Fu Yunyi’s troubles have come from defending others or being targeted—not from genuinely initiating incidents. His family’s backing allows him to oppose misconduct without making the compromises expected of less-protected celebrities 311.

Despite joking about slacking off, Fu Yunyi takes his chosen profession seriously. He studies scripts, maintains physical training, and learns skills needed for individual projects. He dislikes corporate management because he finds it exhausting and uninteresting, not because he refuses to work 67 252 313 320 332.

Abilities & Skills

Acting and Entertainment Work

• Studies scripts independently and continues honing his abilities despite having enough family wealth to live comfortably without acting 67 313 334.
• Plays a strategist-like third male lead who eventually turns against the protagonist and becomes a major villain; the role proves popular 261.

• Projection-equipped smart lock — Installed at his villa by Xia Zhiyi 334.

Relationships

• Xia Zhiyi — Friend, informal martial-arts teacher, and eventually uncle through marriage to Fu Chi. Fu Yunyi initially treats him as a younger industry colleague and is bewildered when family seniority reverses their positions 85 104 179 319 345.
• Old Master Fu — Grandfather, who dotes on him but also teases and disciplines him. Fu Yunyi values him deeply and messages him daily despite frequently working away from home 210 256 340.

• Qin Yue — Fellow guest who impresses him by splitting firewood in one strike. Their relationship becomes comfortable and collegial during filming 31 91.
• Xia Zhen — Recipient of his enthusiastic generosity. He initially selects over a hundred outfits for her before Xia Zhiyi persuades him to scale back 120.
• Gu Miaomiao — Friend whom he helps with her parents’ hospitalization. Fu Chi later claims she is Fu Yunyi’s girlfriend to secure her release from trouble, but they are still described as friends rather than an established couple 277 282 283 285.

Story Role / Major Arcs

*Incredible Life*

• Joins at his youngest uncle’s suggestion. His sleepy good looks attract viewers, while his assumption that the program revolves around guests developing conflicts embarrasses the production team 14.
• Experiences Xia Zhiyi’s Qinggong firsthand when Xia carries him into the air at the airport. The footage goes viral and sparks his desire to learn martial arts 16 17.
• Becomes a lively participant rather than maintaining his cool celebrity image. His mishaps include repeatedly missing firewood with an axe and contributing the largest share of the trio’s accidental breakages 31 104.
• Attempts to catch Gu Zhiyuan when he slips near a steep drop, only to slip himself. Xia Zhiyi rescues both men, and the incident exposes how poorly Fu Yunyi understands Fu Chi’s worry for him 103.

Discovering Fu Chi and Xia Zhiyi’s Relationship

• Notices Fu Chi’s unusual attention toward Xia Zhiyi during the charity auction but cannot explain their closeness 81 85 86.
• Is instructed to treat Xia Zhiyi as an elder before learning that the two are dating 104.
• Learns from Old Master Fu that Fu Chi has a boyfriend, then discovers at dinner that the boyfriend is Xia Zhiyi. He leaves in a daze and immediately shares the revelation with Gu Zhiyuan 156 179 180.
• Publicly identifies both men as his uncles after their marriage, bringing his family background and position as the household’s youngest-generation member into the spotlight 345.

Confrontations and Publicity Risks

• Beats Miki after catching him molesting a female staff member. Xia Zhiyi recognizes the incident as the potential starting point of a smear campaign from the original plot; Fu Chi reprimands Fu Yunyi for resorting to violence first 225 226.
• Confronts Wan Baoxi after discovering her assistant filming Xia Zhiyi as part of an apparent dating-rumor scheme, and refuses to continue filming with her 281 282.
• Faces possible association with a scandal involving an actor surnamed Yan because it occurred beside his villa. He and Xu Chen turn to surveillance evidence to protect him 333 334.

Fu Chi’s Recovery and the Family Business

• Temporarily takes on company responsibilities while Fu Chi is unconscious and Old Master Fu needs support 238 239.
• Rejects insiders’ attempts to persuade him to seize power and supplies Fu Chi with their names 251 252.
• Continues holding the position while Fu Chi investigates further disloyalty. The experience strengthens his preference for acting over corporate leadership 252 258.
• Delivers evidence against Huanyu after attempts to send it through other people repeatedly fail under the plot’s interference 267.

*Boy Band*

• Recruits Xia Zhiyi as a martial-arts mentor and works alongside him on the talent show 314.
• Has his assumed status as Xia Zhiyi’s eldest disciple publicly corrected 319.
• Participates in the contestants’ raised-stake balloon game, demonstrating improved conditioning before being eliminated by a coordinated attack 332 333.

Role in the Original Plot

The original plot known to Xia Zhiyi casts Fu Yunyi as a top-tier award-winning actor and wealthy CEO, characterized as cold, controlling, domineering, and obsessive. Xia Zhiyi finds this portrayal difficult to reconcile with the person he actually meets 65.

• Protagonist halo: Hostility and trouble tend to become opportunities that ultimately benefit Fu Yunyi, although the halo also makes him a recurring target 210.
• Planned inheritance: Fu Chi is supposed to die young and leave his business empire to Fu Yunyi, forcing him to mature rapidly under the pressure of succession 234 247.
• Relationship with Gu Miaomiao: Their original ending includes marriage, children, fame, and wealth. Fu Chi’s vision of that timeline reveals that repeated losses leave both deeply wounded, making their apparent happiness closer to mutual survival than uncomplicated fulfillment 248.
• Changed circumstances: Xia Zhiyi’s interventions disrupt these events; Fu Chi survives, and Fu Yunyi’s company duties remain a temporary responsibility rather than the intended inheritance after his uncle’s death 247 252 258.
