Yue Wuhuan

**Overview:**

Yue Wuhuan is the second main character and love interest of Mistakenly Saving the Villain. He starts out as a slave at the Golden Phoenix Manor before being saved by Song Qingshi. With his help, Yue Wuhuan grows to be a strong cultivator as he recovers from his trauma gained as a slave.

Physically, he is exceptionally beautiful, described as having honey-colored skin which was like warm jade and dark golden eyes. He has long dark hair that curls slightly at the ends. He has a mole just under his eye that is revealed very late in the book to actually be a seal on his magic placed by demons, as well as a phoenix shaped birthmark on his shoulder blade which was initially covered up by the Acacia Seal. This phoenix birthmark was inherited from his mother. He has a wood-type spiritual root, and follows the Way of the Sword. He has an IQ of 162, extremely high. One of his main powers chapter 32 onward is the Blood King Vines, which he found and refined into his soul.

When asked by Song Qingshi about his interests in chapter 27, Yue Wuhuan said his favorite food was fasting pills (stomach medicine). His favorite color was white, though he favored red throughout his childhood. He enjoys sword practice, medicine, reading, and studying. His birthday is February 14, valentine's day in the modern world. His thing he likes most in the world is Song Qingshi.

There was a magnolia tree visible through the window of his childhood bedroom. Yue Wuhuan was sold for only thirty Hu of mermaid beads.

**History**:

Yue Wuhuan's father was an Emperor and his mother a favored concubine. His mother had been a dancer in the palace from over sees, and was amde a concubine as soon as his father saw her. She had red hair and golden eyes, as well as the phoenix tattoo Yue Wuhuan inherited. Much of his appearance comes from his mother. His mother was a kind and gentle person, well liked in the palace. After Yue Wuhuan was enslaved, the people at Golden Phoenix Manor heard that Yue Wuhuan's mother looked similar to him, and he was forced to do many compromising things in an attempt to spare her. They went anyways, but found that the country had been destroyed a few years before. His father and brother (the crown prince) died in battle, while his mother and the queen committed suicide on Phoenix Terrace. Yue Wuhuan states he was glad that they had a clean death and didn't see him humiliated in chapter 12.

Yue Wuhuan was born a prince under a cursed star, prophecised to have a life full of mistreatment and suffering. His family denied this and treated him extremely well, doting on him with affection and encouragement. His brother made him the wooden box which he used to collect beautiful stones which he hoped to eventually give to a partner. He was sent to be trained with Xie Que after the slaver discovered he would grow to be a great beauty and convinced Yue Wuhuan's father, an old emperor to allow him to be Xie Que's disciple. Yue Wuhuan looked up to Xie Que greatly. He was a favorite of Xie Que for his beauty, and was consistently discouraged from activities which would lessen his beauty and gentility. Notably this included sword fighting, which he managed to convince Xie Que to allow him to pursue, but only under the condition he soak his hands in lotion to prevent his hands being damaged.

At one point during his time with Xie Que, he was bitten by a Devil Mask Snake, which are not very dangerous but dye a persons' skin so it looks like they are always wearing a devil mask. Xie Que rushed Yue Wuhuan to the Medicine King's Valley to have him treated, begging Song Qingshi to cure his most valued (valuable) "disciple". Song QIngshi was only convinced after Xie Que cried, but he completely fixed the staining on Yue Wuhuan's face. It is obvious the care shown by Xie Que throughout this event is purely for Yue Wuhuan as a product, and any real affection for him is secondary.

When he was being raised by Xie Que, he often helped the other children learn, and was generous with any good things he had. He was very patient and intelligent, so the other children looked up to him.

After being trained with Xie Que, he was sold to Jin Feiren of the Golden Phoenix Manor, where he was kept as a slave for many years. He was horribly mistreated here and forced to do acts he was disgusted by, being consistently drugged by Jin Feiren and his colleagues to get the reactions they wanted for him. He attempted suicide many times but was unsuccessful due to being limited by an Acacia Seal which forced him to obey the will of Jin Feiren.

**Personality:**

Yue Wuhuan is deeply suspicious and distrusting due to his history of mistreatment, he is neurotic about cleanliness, refusing to eat anything outside of Medicine Valley and often wearing gloves. He has severe attachment issues, after meeting Song Qingshi, whom he views as extremely clean, he is desperate to keep him close, often having impulses to keep him hidden away and isolated so that no one could take him away or dirty him. When Song Qingshi is brought back after being dead for three thousand years, Yue Wuhuan says in Chapter 88 that if he had seen Song Qingshi being kind and gentle to another person as he had been with Yue Wuhuan he "would scoop his heart out, make his body into a puppet, hide away his soul and make him stay with him forever". Yue Wuhuan is aware that these feelings are abnormal and pathological, and actively works to not think them. Song Qingshi was extremely helpful in proving that these feelings were not necessary and that no matter what he would always choose Yue Wuhuan, and always love him. Yue Wuhuan has severe self-esteem issues, knowing himself to be extremely alluring and beautiful, but due to his experience as a slave, believes these to be flaws which caused his trauma. In truth, he views himself as extremely disgusting and dirty for much of the novel. With Song Qingshi's help, he is able to work through these feelings by the end of the book and be happy.

Yue Wuhuan has a deep love of learning and is extremely dedicated to studying, especially after he went so long having to only learn bits and pieces in secret as a slave. He is highly intelligent, a skilled cultivator and scientist. He enjoys making sweets to feed to Song Qingshi, and enjoys feeding Song Qingshi in general. During his past life as Mo Yuan, he was very fixated on making sure Song Qingshi gained weight, partially out of concern for his health, partially to feel that he was taking care of the person he likes, and partially out of a belief that if Song Qingshi was fat, people would be less likely to steal him away. Yue Wuhuan is also very vengeful towards those who have wronged him in the past, but does not stress if he is unable to get vengeance on everyone, because there are simply too many people he hates to feasibly kill all of them (until he becomes a near-god and rules Inextinguishable Peak).

Yue Wuhuan enjoys joking and teasing with Song Qingshi, but does not relax enough for this around anyone else. Though at first he wanted to destroy everything besides Medicine Valley, Song Qingshi was able to convince him people were capable of improvement as well as that not everyone was truly terrible. Though he claims to not care for anyone besides Song Qingshi, he shows empathy for Qing Luan, showing mercy to Rong Ye because of her pleading, as well as promising to care for her descendants on her deathbed and following through. He also is said to be lenient with Bai Zihao as his subordinate, and giving him a new chance at life after freeing him from Golden Phoenix Manor despite Bai Zihao having been the husband of Jin Feiren.

**Chapter 1-4**

Yue Wuhuan sees Song Qingshi crying by some water and assumes he is trying to drown himself. He tells Song Qingshi that it is impossible due to the Acacia Seal and will only get him in more trouble, hinting that he himself will be released soon. This is in reference to his plan to get around the Acacia Seal by poisoning a tiger in the performance he will be in to become excessively violent. His plan was to be killed by this tiger during the performance so he would no longer have to suffer. This plan was foiled when Song Qingshi saved him from the tiger, and he fell unconscious in the process. He was then bought from Jin Feiren (who had grown bored of him) by Song Qingshi, who mistook him for the protagonist of the 'novel'. It is in chapter three that Yue WUhuan's past of how he was brought into slavery by Xie Que and sold to Jin Feiren is revealed.

**Chapter 5-18**

When Yue Wuhuan wakes up in Medicine King Valley, he immediately assumes Song Qingshi is like every other master he's been given to and will rape him at some point, if not immediately. At first, he has a few misunderstanding of Song Qingshi's words, before finally settling on Song Qingshi playing "coax the slave", trying to make him feel safe only to hurt him worse. He learns through Song Qingshi's continued respect and consideration for his comfort/wishes that Song Qingshi really is different from the other people he's known, specifically when he refuses to look at Yue Wuhuan during the Six Meridians Rejuvenation Medicated Bath, stating simply that Yue Wuhuan does not like to be seen naked, so he should not be. He does not know what Song Qingshi will ask in return for helping him, but Yue Wuhuan decides he will pay him anything he has, first by being the perfect patient and guest.

Song Qingshi tries to help Yue Wuhuan recover mentally and emotionally after all of his wounds have healed, while they are in the library Yue Wuhuan tries to organize the messy books and find the Nie Clan's Poison Scriptures. He immediately assumes he will never be allowed to learn about poisons. Despite Golden Phoenix Manor having a very large library, it was mostly full of miscellaneous books, and he was never allowed to read anything dangerous that he could find useful. But, to Yue Wuhuan's surprise, Song Qingshi encourages him to learn about poisons so he can protect himself in the cultivational world. Yue Wuhuan also takes over running the household soon after this, Song Qingshi stating that Yue Wuhuan is the only one he trusts with such important things, which Yue Wuhuan feels deeply honored by. After finding Song Qingshi dissecting cadavers, Yue Wuhuan is taught about dissection and its medical importance. He sees the corpse of Yu Qing, a man who raped him in Golden Phoenix Manor among the corpses, and practices his dissection on him first. He feels very satisfied after cutting him apart and learning he died painfully. Song Qingshi helps Yue Wuhuan recover his cultivation and repair his meridians, making his childhood dreams a possibility again.

Yue Wuhuan realizes slowly that he is falling in love with Song Qingshi and, to his horror, lusting after him as well. He views Song Qingshi as extremely clean and himself as very dirty. He is ashamed of his fantasies, deciding he will never act on them, but he is not willing to create any distance between them. They go out to explore Lecheng soon after that, and Yue Wuhuan decides that rather than waiting for his sordid past to come to light, he will reveal it to Song Qingshi himself. He wears a veil while outside to avoid being recognized, this is due to the series of erotic prints Jin Feiren had made of him to ruin his reputation and destroy any chance of him being respectable even if he did leave Golden Phoenix Manor. They make their way to House of Immortal Passions, a book store which sells the series of prints, titled Beauty of the Golden Age. Song Qingshi is not disgusted as Yue Wuhuan expects, rather reassuring him they will find a way for him to live normally again.

**Chapter 19-26**

This is the time-span An Long is first in Medicine King Valley. Yue Wuhuan is suspicious of him and immediately realizes An Long's feelings for Song Qingshi, he then tries to learn more about An Long by attempting to "seduce" him. It is this way he becomes certain of An Long's interest in men, and lack of experience with that interest. An Long uses a Fantasy Gu on him to try revealing his "impure" desires for Song Qingshi, but Yue Wuhuan reacts extremely badly and has a relapse with his mental illness. The Gu showed him a life in which he was never taken by Xie Que, and was able to become a sword cultivator and meet/woo Song Qingshi normally, eventually marrying him. He was so distraught upon realizing it was an allusion that he carved out the teardrop mole from his cheek with broken glass. It did not remain gone.

It was at this point An Long gave the Emotion Locking Gu, which will be an important tool for Yue Wuhuan keeping his emotions and desires under control until chapter 74.

**Chapter 27-32**

Song Qingshi, realizing he knew very little about Yue Wuhuan, asked him many questions about his likes and dislikes. Though Yue Wuhuan attempted to answer truthfully, there were several despairities, such as saying white is his favorite color despite consistent preferring red throughout his life.

For Yue Wuhuan's birthday, Song QIngshi gives him three gifts; the removal of the Acacia Seal, Xie Que's soul in a Soul Lantern, and the box made for him by his brother that he collected stones in throughout his childhood.
