Background / History

Yao Ziyan is a member of the Royal Family of Beasts whose appearance is largely human despite her beast bloodline. Her mother was an ordinary human who wished for Yao Ziyan and Yao Ziyue to live peacefully; Yao Ziyan later came to value that wish after settling at Origin Mall. 1395 2413

Before becoming an assassin, she left her residence to experience the wider world and study human culture. During those travels, she fled a young master’s unwanted attention and met Qing Yuan, who shared a meal with her; their encounter began a lasting friendship. 1974

She later became the legendary top-ranked assassin of the Shadow Kill Ranking, known as the King of Assassins. Her hidden identity as a beast royal was exposed after a Lightning Tribulation, making her a target for human cultivators and leaving her isolated while the Demon Race was occupied with the Ancient Ruins. 29 31

Cornered by five Seeking the Way cultivators and the Venerable Demon Monk Wuxiang, Yao Ziyan used her Demon Core to unleash an attack beyond her realm. The attack destroyed the five cultivators and damaged Wuxiang’s protective kasaya, but consumed much of her vitality and caused her to fall from the sky in critical condition. 29

Appearance

Yao Ziyan has a slender build, stands slightly shorter than Luo Chuan, and possesses an elegant, cool demeanor that becomes gentler around those close to her. Her human-like appearance conceals her royal demonic-beast heritage. 1484 2413

• Long, deep-purple hair and clear purple eyes. 29 1430
• Usually wears understated dresses or practical everyday clothing rather than elaborate ornamentation. 1484 1530
• Can alter the length of her own hair without cutting it. 2457
• Her ancestral bloodline manifests as a noble, nine-tailed Purple Sky Fox phantom. 331

Personality

Initially, Yao Ziyan was cold, resolute, and accustomed to facing danger alone. Her time as an assassin gave her composure under pressure, while her experience among humans made her perceptive but sometimes inclined to generalize about human nature. 29 393

At Origin Mall, she grows noticeably more relaxed and content. She values the ordinary routines of working, cooking, gaming, reading, and spending time with Luo Chuan more than relentlessly pursuing strength. 99 1224 1553

She is considerate toward friends and protective of Yao Ziyue, but she also has a playful, mischievous side. Her growing control over destiny-related powers makes her more willing to tease others—particularly when she anticipates their mistakes. 1717 1909
