Background / History

Born in the Seed Zone, He Wei Ni Ya grew up in an environment where children were valued for their potential Notes and subjected to exploitation, abuse, and neglect. She later admitted to killing two people there, including her birth mother. 182

She killed the real He Wei Ni Ya—a talented Hai Luo Family young lady—and assumed her identity. Using the original girl’s education, appearance, and social position, she entered the academy and cultivated the image of a harmless, clumsy, friendly noble prodigy. 184 162

Her covert objective was to collect the Golden Sounds needed to perform the Seven Sound Divine Song. She intended to use the resulting wish against the Lord of Holy Sound, the Players, and the world that had created and exploited people like her. 161 246

Bai Wei entered her body through a Corpse Piece attached as her left middle finger. After exposing her identity as a Gold Score, he became a dangerous source of guidance and power; she initially treated him as a threat to be observed and exploited rather than trusted. 160 161 177

Professor Ariana eventually uncovered her replacement of the real He Wei Ni Ya, poisoned and restrained her, and attempted to extract her Score. He Wei Ni Ya survived by turning Ariana’s poison against her, though Daphne immediately ambushed her afterward. 181 182 183

Following the ambush, Bai Wei replaced her damaged left eye and tongue with his own and lent her further power at the cost of her vitality. She formally pledged herself to him, while continuing to pursue her own plan for the Grand Ceremony. 188 217

After the God disaster, she recovered in Lyra under Ina’s care and became attached to Ina and Ju. Though Ina offered her a new identity and a chance to remain, He Wei Ni Ya chose to leave Lyra to repay Bai Wei and assist him. 303

Appearance

He Wei Ni Ya carefully maintains the appearance expected of a gifted noble academy student, using oversized mage clothing, cosmetics, magic, and deliberate clumsiness to support her public persona. Beneath that presentation, she appears more mature and carries a concealed aggressiveness. 160 170

• Wears an oversized mage hat and robe, initially helping her appear younger and more harmless. 160
• Has a golden Seventh Note on her back, bound by five thin golden lines forming her Gold Score. 160
• Her left middle finger is Bai Wei’s Corpse Piece; it initially looked distinctly male before adapting toward her appearance, so she kept it gloved. 160
• After Daphne’s attack, her left eye was replaced by Bai Wei’s and initially bore a conspicuous knife scar. 188 243
• Is later described with red hair and black eyes while confronting Ai De Wen. 314

Personality

He Wei Ni Ya is intensely survival-driven, distrustful, and unwilling to accept control. Even when restrained and facing death, she resisted using Bai Wei’s power because dependence itself was unacceptable to her. 182 183

Her sweetness, innocence, tardiness, and apparent lack of academic interest are calculated performances. She designed them to lower others’ guard, build popularity, and gain access to restricted library material through Auger. 162

Behind the facade, she is patient, observant, and willing to manipulate people as tools. She nevertheless shows genuine concern at times: she reassures Auger, helps protect him from the Hai Luo Family’s retaliation, and is affected by Polly’s death. 179 224 206

Her ultimate motivation is not simply personal advancement. She wants to defy the system represented by the Lord of Holy Sound and the Players, accepting that her pursuit may consume her life. 246 149

Abilities & Skills

Gold Score

He Wei Ni Ya possesses a Gold Score rather than an ordinary Note. The Score binds and manages Notes, making her indispensable to the performance of the Seven Sound Divine Song. 160 161

• Can acquire and bind Golden Sounds/Notes to her Score. 208 217
• Is the only Gold Tier Seventh Sound identified for the Grand Ceremony. 202
• Her exceptional value makes her a target for extraction, recruitment, and assassination. 182 196 202

Musical Magic

A Gold Tier musician, He Wei Ni Ya uses multi-sound spells in combat, reconnaissance, movement, and deception. 168 180

• Second Sound: Tide Summoning — Countered Ayman’s Magic Sound Cannon; its scale rapidly increased through her Gold Tier magic. 168
• Three Sounds: Fire Seed — Marked everyone remaining through the final day of the Seven Sound Festival, allowing her to identify her stalker. 180

Bai Wei’s Power

Bai Wei’s Corpse Pieces and presence grant He Wei Ni Ya access to abilities beyond her ordinary magic, but using them consumes her vitality and risks destroying her body. 188 201

• Can cancel opponents’ spells mid-cast, including Movement Spells and Four Sound magic. 196 197
• Can expand her vision through white mist. 198
• Bai Wei can directly take control of her body, fighting with far greater skill and knowledge than she can independently wield. 215 217
• Her body cannot continuously sustain Bai Wei’s power or possession; excessive use may prevent her from surviving to the Grand Ceremony. 201 217

Deception and Social Manipulation

He Wei Ni Ya is highly skilled at building tailored personas and exploiting others’ assumptions.

• Maintains the identity of the original He Wei Ni Ya convincingly enough to deceive the girl’s parents for over a year. 181
• Used Auger’s library position to obtain restricted texts without leaving an obvious trail. 162
• Uses disguises, charm, and apparent innocence to gather information from academy staff and students. 163
• Negotiates with powerful figures while concealing her actual goals, including Finnis, Evan, and Ai De Wen. 178 220 314

• Music Box — Requested from Lai Ang Na; has a concealed function connected to Bai Wei. 166
• Seed of Covenant — Accepted from Evan to enforce their agreement. 220

Relationships

• Bai Wei / Visas — Host, benefactor, mentor, and uneasy partner. He saved her repeatedly and supplies dangerous power; she trusts him only conditionally and also attempts to use him for her own goal. 161 188 217 246
• Ariana — Former professor and eventual enemy. Ariana recognized that she was an impostor, attempted to extract her Score, and died after He Wei Ni Ya turned the hidden poison against her. 181 182 183
• Daphne — Former friend and adversary tied to the real He Wei Ni Ya’s death. Daphne captured and killed her before Bai Wei pulled her spirit back; later, Daphne ambushed her with silver threads. 184 183
• Auger — Academy friend and librarian whose access to restricted books she initially exploited. He remains concerned for her, and she later acts to protect him. 162 179 224
• Lai Ang Na — Her official mentor. He assists her with orchestra arrangements but is willing to sell her value to the highest bidder. 160 166
• Finnis Lawrence — A Golden Sound and political ally. She joins his orchestra for the Grand Ceremony while both sides seek advantage from the arrangement. 178 220
