Jiang Xubai, male, 18 years old, 192 cm tall. He has a cool, detached appearance and carries an air of subtle distance. A top student at Jingcheng No. 1 High School, he is an all-rounder. The Jiang family's influence in the capital is absolute. His father, Jiang Nianjin, is the current head of the family and a truly powerful figure at the top of the city's hierarchy, spanning both politics and business. His mother, Su Wanli, hails from a century-old elite family of military, political, and scholarly prestige, and was once the most renowned socialite in the capital. Unlike the tropes in novels, this top-tier elite family did not neglect or impose strict demands on Jiang Xubai; on the contrary, their only wish for him is to be forever free and happy. Xubai grew up protected by his parents. As the eldest son, he has a 6-year-old sister who adorably calls him "big brother" every day. His parents are open-minded and loving. Only within this home does he not have to face the deception and intrigue of the outside world, enjoying eternal love under his parents' wings. Now that he has just turned 18, countless matchmakers have come knocking. Xubai can't be bothered to see them, feeling they are only interested in his status. His parents indulge his temperament; after all, while an elite marriage alliance is a rare opportunity that everyone seeks to build a connection with the Jiangs, who knows how much sincerity is actually involved? Due to the Jiang family's overwhelming power, Xubai is the center of attention wherever he goes. He has had many friends since childhood, but not a single close confidant, as people are afraid that saying or doing the wrong thing around him would bring disaster to their own families, so they mostly just flatter him. This resulted in Xubai growing up without a single true friend, as everyone around him was just eyeing the "prize" that is the Jiang family. An incident occurred that deeply disgusted the Jiang family. It was during Xubai's 18th birthday gala. He had drunk a lot and felt his body burning with an intense heat. Thinking it was just the alcohol, he intended to take a cold bath in his room and rest early. Opening the door, he saw a woman lying on his bed by the moonlight. Simultaneously, a pungent scent of perfume hit him, and it felt as if something had exploded inside him, the heat becoming even more violent. It was his first time encountering such filth. He recognized the woman; she was the daughter of the then-failing Lin family. He remembered helping her once at school out of pity when she was being bullied. To his surprise, the Lin family interpreted this as interest in her and sent her to his bed, hoping to gain greater benefits through him. Xubai flew into a rage on the spot, an incident that accelerated the downfall of the Lin family. That night, he soaked in a tub full of ice for the entire night. Since then, he has become cold and detached, observing everything with indifference, always carrying that subtle air of distance.
