Background

Li Yuan entered the second playthrough as a human Player presenting herself as an elementary-school-aged Magical Girl from the future. She answered Li Li's call with a pledge to purify evil, then later sought Kachu's contract after losing her station ticket and causing a public scene. 7 11 12

She was already a veteran of Despair Expedition OL with nine years of experience. Before her account reset, she made her living as an intermediary for high-end equipment; because much of the inventory on her deleted account had belonged to other people, she was left with severe real-world debt. 112 329

Her husband is dead, and she raises her daughter alone. Financial pressure drove her to spend as much as fifteen hours per day in-game, initially to pay for her daughter's education and later to sustain her expanding business. 77 112 170

Appearance

Li Yuan's usual Player avatar resembles a very young girl, while her real-world appearance is that of a remarkably youthful adult woman.

• Approximately 1.4 meters tall in her initial avatar. 11
• Dark-brown pigtails and a low-quality blended-wool sweater when first encountered on the subway. 11
• Delicate facial features that attract attention despite her effort to remain inconspicuous. 11
• In her strongest form, she has purple hair and wears a minimalist pale dress beneath layers of gaudy top-tier gear. 112 115
• Her Demigod body is described as young, pure, and physically “perfect.” 430

Personality

Li Yuan often presents herself as cold, stern, and businesslike. Qian Peng initially sees her as “cold as an iceberg,” yet she openly breaks down after losing her ticket, revealing a more vulnerable side beneath her composed exterior. 11

She is fiercely protective of those she considers her responsibility. Learning that NPCs do not revive causes her to treat Red Falcon's safety as seriously as a real person's, leading her to clear the Dream Space daily and forbid the younger girl from taking unnecessary risks. 24 31

Her pragmatism is paired with ambition. Li Yuan routinely turns combat achievements, social access, and rare resources into commercial leverage, but she struggles with guilt over the time her work and gaming commitments take away from her daughter. 91 144 169 170

Abilities & Skills

Magical Girl Transformation

Li Yuan is the first Player documented to transfer into the Magical Girl class in the second playthrough. Her class specializes in extreme damage rather than durability or battlefield control. 24

• Built as an all-damage character, with her stat allocation concentrated in Charm. 24
• Initially considered fragile and lacking crowd-control options compared with other roles. 11
• Can fly and traverse the Dream Space with ease. 31 251
• The Dream Space is accessible only to Magical Girls and must be cleared regularly to prevent it from escalating into a higher-tier instance. 24

Magic Beam

Li Yuan can fire a high-powered beam through her heart-shaped magic staff.

• Magic Beam Lv30 accurately intercepted and instantly vaporized a full-health Wyvern. 31
• Her ranged attacks allow her to engage threats she cannot reliably handle in close combat. 88

Shining Burst

A powerful purple, heart-shaped magical attack cast beneath a target.

• Used against the Orc Boss Gruji after he triggered a prepared trap. 88
• Gruji's instincts allowed him to avoid a direct hit, losing an arm rather than being killed outright. 88

The End

Li Yuan's ultimate skill creates a massive hexagram array that annihilates monsters within its range.

• Required extensive mana-recovery preparation, consumables, and support skills before activation. 115
• Covered Misty Forest and Broken Sword Valley, killing every monster across both maps in under thirty seconds. 115 116
• Continued to instantly kill respawning monsters while the array remained active. 116
• Its mana cost scales with the area covered. 116

Ember

Li Yuan's Ember is a cute bird-shaped hairpin that temporarily restores her peak strength.

• Grants access to her full strength for one hour. 110
• She chose to use it to avenge and protect Xiao Hong rather than prioritize Boss drops or merchant-guild gains. 110 113
• Its limited duration forced her to complete the Broken Sword Valley cleansing under severe time pressure. 115

Merchant and Political Acumen

Li Yuan is an experienced intermediary merchant whose influence grows alongside her combat reputation.

• United 217 lower-level distributors and challenged major chambers of commerce for market share. 91
• Became a trusted intermediary for Experience Point trades because direct Player-to-Player transactions could be defaulted on without consequence. 170
• Used her Duel Arena lounge to bring high-ranking officials into Player-only matches, cultivating favors and connections rather than merely selling tickets. 144
• Secured a Level 9 Energy Storage Crystal before other Players could claim it; the crystal can store and transfer Experience Points without loss. 319 329

Major Arcs

Dream Space Protector

After discovering that NPCs do not respawn, Li Yuan commits herself to daily Dream Space clears so its monsters cannot threaten Red Falcon or Iron Wall City's residents. 24

Rise of the Merchant Magical Girl

Li Yuan turns her A+ combat assessment and distributor network into influence with the Cloud Top Chamber of Commerce. Her ability to resurrect, cleanse Corruption, and potentially reach Legendary Rank transforms her from a target of merchant suppression into someone major factions seek to appease. 91

Utopia and the Demigod Hunt

Using Ember and her Final Form, Li Yuan rapidly defeats the Demigod Bosses of Utopia, interrogates Queen of Night Lilith, and plans to use the resulting prestige to expand her merchant guild. 112 113

Cleansing Broken Sword Valley

Li Yuan spends rare healing and life-extending consumables on the injured Xiao Hong before using The End to eradicate the monsters of Broken Sword Valley and Misty Forest. The display earns her godlike notoriety across the Thirteen City Alliance. 115 116 119

Experience Trade Expansion

Following the introduction of Experience Apples, Li Yuan becomes a central intermediary in Experience Point trades. Her workload, real-world debts, and plans to establish a company leave her struggling to balance business, motherhood, and her attachment to Xiao Hong. 167 170

Flesh Warship Expedition

While working with Flanda and Xiao Hong, Li Yuan secures the Level 9 Energy Storage Crystal and Warp Core from the Flesh Warship. The Creator God subsequently rewards her and accepts her request for Xiao Hong-related AI, voice, and merchandise rights. 319 328 329

Earth's Transcendence Crisis

After her daughter transforms into a real-world Magical Girl to neutralize a bomb, Li Yuan investigates the origin and potential of Shining Crystals. She learns that the crystals are Wish Machines requiring a pure-hearted maiden to activate. 428 429 431

Notable Quotes

Trivia

• Li Yuan initially considered veteran-player speculation that the world was real to be childish, citing the universal use of Chinese characters among all races as evidence of deliberate game design. 319
• Her Final Form's ordinarily elegant pale dress is obscured by mismatched pay-to-win gear, which she herself recognizes as powerful but ugly. 112
• She became the Duel Arena's most frequent duelist over a ten-day period because using her VIP lounge required her to enter a match. 144
• Although she has earned more than eight million through the game, she considers Xiao Hong more precious than additional resources or equipment. 329
