Ye Lang

He is the male protagonist of the novel "The Silly Alchemist".

History (1st Life)
In his first life he wanted to live an ordinary life and marry an ordinary wife. But after wanting to donate blood on a whim he finds out that he has a really rare disease. It was so rare that only 1000 people across the whole world were infected. That's about every 1 out of 8,000,000 million people has the disease. It was a disease which is similar to HIV, only after it "breaks out" is it deadly. The doctors told him he has only 3 years left. He decided to keep it to himself and not to tell his parents and friends. One day when he goes to a mountain he finds a martials arts treasury. He stays there to understand and cultivate for about 10 years(?).

After he leaves he shouts "I'm unparalleled under heaven"

BUT!!! At that moment a meteor comes down the sky and pulverises him. He died.

Personality
Before:

He likes spending money without care and his goal is to empty his family money. But he isn't arrogant as the other prodigal sons. He is muddle headed and can't explain himself clearly. He doesn't have any Sense of direction and often get's lost.

Later:

He still likes spending money but now he "became intelligent" and often people come to him and ask him to solve their problems. He is still sometimes muddle headed and he still doesn't have any sense of direction.

Plot (2nd Life)
On the day Ye Lang was born there was a huge ostentation and many people thought he is God's child.

They even wrote about his future achievements:

Because he was born with only half his soul and the other half was sealed he became a fool and could only speak slowly after thinking what he has to say. Furthermore he couldn't express himself clearly even at the age of 13. Once he was asked how a man looked he responded: "He has eyes, a nose, a mouth...". But he has a Photographic memory and is able to remember almost everything. Later he bought a Female Slave, Tai Ya who now is his "maid". He is blessed by luck and has plot armor so most things he buys are rare things he buys for a cheap price and sells high.

Now he goes to the Imperial Academy to study Alchemy.

By the time he is 13, he is hit by Lightning and his other half of his soul escapes the "seal" and merges with the other half and he can think clearly now/ becomes a "genius". 3 months after "becoming intelligent" he hired a mercenary group to protect and escort Tai Ya to her family, who will return only at the end of the novel but leaves again afterwards.

In the Imperial Academy he often steals Zhen Xiaoyan food and eats it, because it's delicious. One day he jokingly tells her to confess her love to Mo Ya but in the end she really confessed to him. But she has been rejected. After that she annoys them until Sha Lan challenges her to a Girl talent Competition (In reality beauty Competition) and the winner gets the right to date Mo Ya. She asked Ye Lang for help and in only 20 days he changes the fat old her into a delicate and pretty young lady. In the end she won the competition and started dating Mo Ya.

But because she (Zhen Xiaoyan) and Ye Lang were to close to each other Mo Ya breaks up with her. So Ye Lang decided to take revenge for her, he disguises himself and accuses Sha Lan of being pregnant with his child. He even spreads rumors that he has seen her go to a doctor, abort her child. In the end Sha Lan and Mo Ya broke up.

One time during the next Emperors selection ceremony, when the Emperor gave each of his children a problem to solve he solved all of his children's problems. In the end the Emperor let him set new questions and test his children. He decided to use psychological questions to choose the inheritor. To his surprise someone answered all questions correctly what shouldn't have happened, it was Zhao Ya Rou. The less questions one answers the better. Afterwards the Emperor asked him, whom he'd choose as his successor he said the ones who answered 0 questions correctly or those who answered 1 - 3 questions correctly. Furthermore he should kill Zhao Ya Rou to rid the Empire of an evil bud, but he didn't listen and will have to pay with his life later.

Here are some of the Questions he used:

Later during the Imperial Academy's competition participant selection he was the judge. Furthermore he "cheated" to help Zhen Xiaoyan pass.

After the competition the Emperor held a grand banquet for the winner of the competition and almost all influential figures were invited to his Palace for the banquet. Zhao Ya Rou poisoned the food and set up a anti-magic Alchemy Formation around the Palace. Furthermore she killed the Emperor and most of her siblings. But Ye Lang found out about the poison and stopped most of the Ye Family members from eating. He also unveiled Zhao Ya Rou's scheme. But they were still in immense danger. She surrounded all the influential people with soldiers and because of the Anti-magic Formation they couldn't use douqi or magic, so they were as strong as average adults. Zhao Ya Rou wanted everybody to submit to her or else she'll kill them, but the Ye Family didn't submit to her and were prepared to fight to death. But at that moment Ye Lang used inner strength to turn around the situation and he succeeded in stopping the soldiers and destroying the Anti-magic Formation.

After the Formation was destroyed the Ye Family members could use douqi and magic. They were able to escape from the capital but there were still many soldiers quickly catching up to them. So Ye Lang told the others to go without him and that he'll catch up later. He used a Alchemy Formation to stop 180,000 Soldiers for 3 days and 3 nights. Afterwards he made his escape using a underground tunnel he dug using alchemy during those 3 days and 3 nights.

After escaping he went the opposite direction of Vermillion Bird Empire, so he hired a Mercenary group to take him to Vermillion Bird Empire. After arriving at Tianjiu city he was "kidnapped" by the King and "forced" to gamble against him. In the end he won his wife, his city, his kingdom and all his other assets. Afterwards the king committed suicide by jumping off a bridge. In Tianjiu city he met the Ye Family again. The Ye Family took over Tianjiu city and named it Ye City.

The Ye Family was now split in 2, the Ye Family in Ye City and the Ye Family in Soaring Sky Empire.

In Ye City Ye Lang opened a Tea House and invited the former Girls from Romantic Floor as Singers. He also opened a Auction house to slander money.

Afterwards he wanted to go and visit Tai Ya and the Tiger tribe. He also hired the Anna mercenary group(composed of only women) but in the end he became muddle headed again and gone to the wrong mercenary group (composed of only men, [hmm... he is pretty muddle headed]). He ended up going in the opposite direction of his destination. Furthermore the mercenary group were tasked to deliver a special object but because their Client, Coldblood Thirteen didn't want them to know too much he poisoned their food. Everybody outside of Ye Lang died. He discovered that Ye Lang was immune to every poison so he brought him back to the Coldblood Organisation's Headquarters. Ye Lang also followed Coldblood Thirteen, because he wanted to know more about his alchemy.

Because Coldblood Thirteen has a important job and has to begin soon, he has to temporary postpone the experimentation on Ye Lang's Poison immunity. In the end he let Ye Lang read books and play but he left a person supervising him, who miraculously never appears when Ye Lang is in Coldblood Thirteen's 1st lab. One day after going to the kitchen he meets Coldblood Five and he teaches her a few tricks but he wants food for his teachings. Afterwards while experimenting in Coldblood Thirteen's 2nd lab his experiment fails and he shrinks to the size of about 10-17cm. After Coldblood Five finds him, she bullies him but he retaliates and she destroyed the whole 2nd lab by mistake but she also shrunk as a result. In the end Coldblood Five wanted to ask Coldblood Thirteen for help but when she finds him in the 3rd lab he already died as a result of a failed experiment.

Coldblood Thirteen had been building a reanimated spirit. After he died Ye Lang took over his work and finished the reanimated spirit. Because they were both so tiny they hid inside the clothes of the reanimated spirit and let it pretend to be Coldblood Five. In the end they were discovered but nothing happened to them. Some days later they were invited to a mission discussion. Coldblood Five, Ye Lang together with the reanimated Spirit and Coldblood Seven were given the mission of assassinating Princess Longji.
