Jiang Xun

Biodata

Background / History

Jiang Xun is the eldest brother of Jiang Ye, Jiang Chao, and Jiang Zhuxin. He was unusually mature and steady as a child: at four or five years old, he witnessed Jiang Chao being brought into the household gravely ill and remembered their mother’s prolonged efforts to nurse him back to health 32 33 144.

While attending an Ivy League university overseas, Jiang Xun developed a competitive relationship with Yu Lihuai. They were both friends and rivals, becoming known as the “two overlords of Wall Street” 303.

His marriage to Song Shiwei happened hurriedly and began without a foundation of romantic affection. He later gave her a bank card as both a belated betrothal gift and thanks for the changes she had brought to his family 63 331.

Original Storyline

• Jiang Xun was originally an emotionally detached workaholic who eventually became the story’s most ruthless and decisive main villain 308.
• The Jiang family’s downfall involved confidential information being stolen and its resources being exploited through his siblings’ relationships 18 20 35.
• Jiang Chao was originally capable of defeating Jiang Xun and taking a CEO position, rather than working alongside him 395.
• Song Shiwei remembers Jiang Xun’s original ending as a death filled with resentment. Her later nightmare depicts him abandoned by his followers and loved ones before being killed by their combined efforts; this is not his eventual fate in the changed storyline 354 379.

Appearance

• Build: Tall, elegant, and well-built, with long legs and a muscular physique 24 247 437.
• Face and complexion: Exquisitely sculpted features and very pale skin; his early appearance is compared to an immortal banished from heaven 19.
• Eyes: Deep eyes described as resembling ancient wells; their expression becomes notably softer around Song Shiwei 306 308.
• Usual presentation: Gold-rimmed glasses, meticulously styled hair, and formal outerwear 19 153.
• Hands: A particular source of attraction for Song Shiwei, who privately delights in holding them 62.

Personality

Jiang Xun initially presents himself as cold, restrained, and difficult to approach. His authority over his younger brothers is immediate: a single reprimand stops Jiang Ye and Jiang Chao’s argument. Since childhood, he has been regarded as a money-making machine with little interest in love 28 33 206.

His care often appears through practical gestures rather than explanations. He brings Jiang Ye a quilt after a late night, gives Song Shiwei hand warmers, prepares meals, and quietly sets out warm water and toothpaste for her 29 206 331.

Falling in love makes him unexpectedly vulnerable. Song Shiwei’s praise leaves him visibly delighted, while the possibility of rejection or divorce can unsettle his normally unshakable composure. Others contrast his intimidating public reputation with his affectionate, attention-seeking behavior around his wife 302 303 406.

He is also capable of calculated romantic maneuvering, including secretly lowering the air conditioner’s temperature so that Song Shiwei will seek warmth in his arms. Later, he consciously restrains his impatience and accepts her wish to develop their relationship gradually 309 331.

His strongest commitment is to protect Song Shiwei without making her responsible for everyone else’s survival. Although terrified of losing her, he eventually resolves to support her departure if returning to her own world would make her happy 429 434.
