    Jiang Mu's character is remarkably nuanced, not a mindless, overpowered protagonist like in a typical wish-fulfillment novel. His forbearance, rationality, and resilience are vividly portrayed. Despite his high position as head of Hengjiang Hall, he never bullies the weak. At the funeral, when Xiao Yi provoked him, Jiang Mu suppressed his anger and backed down for the sake of the greater good, unwilling to implicate his brothers. He possesses a gentle heart, recalling his youthful memories with Su Wan and feeling weary and anxious about his current predicament. He is responsible, taking initiative to delegate authority and make arrangements for everyone upon noticing the insect poison crisis and the machinations from various sides, before heading off alone to negotiate a life-or-death situation. He deliberately conceals his powerful abilities, acting with careful planning and courage. This down-to-earth yet powerful protagonist makes him far more relatable than a mindless, overpowered male lead!
