Background / History

Centuries before arriving on Blue Star, Liu Yan led the Hehuan Sect, a demonic sect composed solely of women that cultivated by absorbing men’s essence, spirit, and soul. Long Yue personally destroyed the sect, defeated Liu Yan, and sent her to the Heavenly Prison Forbidden Ground for judgment. Though she should have been executed, Liu Yan instead endured more than a century of imprisonment. 162 177

The Elder Council later deployed Liu Yan as one of several death-row inmates assigned to Xiao Yi’s mission. While Xiao Yi had been ordered to retrieve Long Yue, Liu Yan received the opposing secret order: assassinate the Empress. She joined the Shi Family’s Three Brothers in attempting to exploit Long Yue’s lost cultivation. 162 172

Liu Yan deliberately exposed herself before the ambush could begin and later allowed Long Yue to receive the Immortal Spirit Liquid. She initially acted to preserve a bargaining chip against Lin Fan, but her actions ultimately saved Long Yue and An Yao from the planned assassination. Long Yue spared her life after confirming this. 163 168

Following the conflict, Liu Yan disclosed that the Elder Council had ordered Long Yue’s assassination and alleged that it cooperated with the Ghost Corpse Sect. Long Yue kept her alive despite initially intending to execute her. 177

Her spiritual power was subsequently sealed, leaving her effectively mortal. She adapted to life on Blue Star, became a virtual streamer, and eventually chose to remain in the human world even though doing so could permanently end her path as a cultivator. 181 199 214

Appearance

Liu Yan is described as an exceptionally alluring woman whose appearance and mannerisms embody the image of a Joyous Union Sect demoness. Her seductive presence immediately captivates Zhou Yan and draws attention from the Immortal Realm cultivators present. 162 183 200

• Charming, alluring face and a seductive posture. 162
• Willow-like waist and a voluptuous, curvaceous figure. 162 183
• Long, fair legs and a confident, provocative sense of dress. 183 184
• Soft, naturally sensual voice and fox-like, captivating eyes. 200
• Her virtual avatar is deliberately modeled after her real appearance and identity as a Joyous Union Sect demoness. 200

Personality

Liu Yan is bold, flirtatious, and highly skilled at using charm to unsettle or manipulate others. She readily teases Zhou Yan, feigns shyness when it benefits her, and uses praise or physical affection to get what she wants. 184 199 200

Her survival instinct is equally pronounced. Faced with Lin Fan’s power, she quickly reframed her interference in the assassination plot as an act of rescue in order to secure mercy. She admits that much of her past was shaped by doing whatever was necessary to survive. 168 217

Despite her selfishness and theatrical behavior, Liu Yan shows the capacity for gratitude, independence, and genuine attachment. She repays Zhou Yan’s computer loan from her streaming earnings, sometimes pays for their dates herself, and ultimately accepts his confession after confronting her fear that her past makes her unworthy of him. 199 217
