Background
Fini became interested in Chen Cheng after slave traders described him as a formidable slave. She inspected his cage herself and ultimately brought him into the Kekebor household. Although she initially treated him as her “little slavey” and enjoyed displaying him to classmates, she quickly came to value his calm, respectful manner and treated him more like an equal than a possession. 7 9 15
At Huidun Academy, Fini distinguished herself by entering the Sea of Magic without assistance, becoming the first apprentice mage in Earl Huidun’s territory to do so in twenty years. Her unique wind-element Magic Rune corridor made her a celebrated local prodigy and earned her a Paulownia Wood Staff from Earl Huidun. 16 24
Rumors surrounding Chen Cheng’s extraordinary magical talent later turned public attention against Fini, with some claiming that a genius was being mistreated as her slave. Hurt by the accusations, she accepted Chen Cheng’s help in confronting them; he resolved to make her recognized as the greater magical prodigy. 28
Fini defended the academy during a Walking Dead attack, using wind arrows to pierce their heads until her magic and mental energy were exhausted. Her willingness to protect others contrasted sharply with the prejudice she witnessed at home, where she dismissed two guards for disrespecting Chen Cheng and confronted her father’s belief that slaves were commodities. 48 49 85 86
Appearance
Fini is a young noblewoman who grows noticeably taller as the story progresses, eventually reaching nearly 1.6 meters. 9 580
- Wore a white floral dress when visiting Chen Cheng early in the story. 9
- Often carries a compact, custom-made magic staff that can shrink to the size of a needle and be worn as an accessory. 88
- Wore a gothic-style dress for her apprenticeship meeting with Mei Luo. 586
- Uses a Faceless mask while competing under the name “True Faceless.” 316 318
Personality
Fini is proud, lively, and openly competitive. She likes displaying her achievements—especially those connected to Chen Cheng—and regularly clashes with Adalin over who is stronger, more talented, or more deserving of Chen Cheng’s attention. 9 76 315
Beneath her spoiled and tsundere manner, Fini is notably compassionate. She shares food with Chen Cheng, gives him Magic Crystals when he needs them, worries over his injuries, and refuses to tolerate those who demean him for being a slave. 13 85 582
Her attachment to Chen Cheng also creates emotional vulnerabilities. When his possible freedom makes her fear losing him, she develops a heart demon marked by fear, anger, and loss; Chen Cheng helps her recover by assuring her that he chose to remain at her side. 333
Abilities & Skills
Wind Magic
Fini specializes in Wind Magic through her unique Sea of Magic inheritance.

Elemental Storm
A combat technique devised by Chen Cheng for Fini during the academy competition.
- Disrupts surrounding elements across several meters, creating a magic-nullifying domain that causes enemy spells to collapse. 318 319
- Defeated another masked competitor after their completed spell failed inside the disrupted area. 319
- Requires immense mental power, leaving Fini pale and close to mental collapse after use. 319
- She can restore depleted mental energy with the Star Tear, though this does not remove the technique’s strain. 319
Spiritual Sense and Magical Insight
As a Heaven-Bestowed, Fini possesses exceptional spiritual power and an inherited aptitude for high-level magic. 321 582
- Sensed subtle Demonic Energy fluctuations during Chen Cheng’s sleight-of-hand trick and later detected the severe injury to his consciousness. 258 582

- Her unusual perception allows her to recognize mathematical patterns as a form of beauty. 430
Equipment
- Star Tear — House Kekebor’s heirloom, a teardrop-shaped pendant said to be the Moon Goddess’s tears. It amplifies Fini’s Spiritual Sense and can restore mental energy, but reliance on it risks destabilizing her cultivation foundation. 63 315 319

- Baron Kekebor — Her father. Fini admires his kindness toward commoners but is devastated by his dehumanizing view of slaves and his hostility toward Chen Cheng. 85 86
- Adalin — Her friend, frequent rival, and fellow competitor. Their rivalry is loud and personal, but they support each other’s cultivation and remain close. 76 294 315
- Akasto — Academy classmate and business associate. Fini works with him on the liquor venture and keeps him accountable for its records and profit distribution. 80

Story Role / Major Arcs
Academy Prodigy and Practical Training

Commerce and the Kekebor Household
Fini becomes involved in Chen Cheng’s perfume and liquor ventures, recognizing their value both as businesses and as a way to strengthen the Kekebor family’s political position. At home, she publicly establishes that Chen Cheng is not to be mistreated, firing guards who insult him. 76 80 85
Academy Grand Competition
After advancing to Silver Rank, Fini competes as “True Faceless.” She defeats opponents through rapid, incantationless Wind Magic and Elemental Storm, attracting enough attention for Church representative Tuotuo to attempt recruiting her. She refuses, satisfied with her current academy. 315 318 319 321
Fini later forfeits her match against Chen Cheng, prioritizing his path to the final over an immediate victory. The emotional strain surrounding his possible freedom then triggers her heart demon, which Chen Cheng helps unravel. 325 333
Return to Hui Dun City and Apprenticeship
After Chen Cheng returns from the Royal Capital, Fini reunites with him emotionally, formally stops considering him her slave, and demonstrates the substantial Wind Magic progress she made in his absence. 580 581
Seeking further growth, she becomes Mei Luo’s disciple at the Adventurer’s Guild. She remains enrolled at Huidun Academy while clarifying her new apprenticeship to its staff. 586 591
