Background / History

Lin Chuqiao was a university lecturer whose academic bearing and meditation instruction first brought her into Fang Cheng's orbit. She attempted to use both guidance and Bewitchment on him, but neither had an effect; her precognitive drawings concerning him were likewise obscured or unclear. 99 150

She went to Yong'an Island intending to infiltrate the Truth Society and approach a meditation target. Using Precognitive Divination, she discovered a mysterious organization connected to the Truth Society and planned to provoke conflict between the two groups. The plan collapsed after an encounter with the Noah Organization, forcing her, Fang Cheng, and Pan Wendi to flee. 142 145

After Pan Wendi overused his ability during the escape, Lin Chuqiao sheltered him in an old Yong'an Island courtyard she had rented years earlier. She abandoned her infiltration plan and resolved to send him back to Eastern Capital to recover. 145

By the New Year, she was living at Cuihu First Estate and assisting Fang Cheng with Wen Xin's school enrollment through her professional connections. She later joined a professor's extraordinary team in an operation concerning the Golden Benba Vase, motivated by a personal reason she would not disclose. 226 238

She subsequently worked closely with Fang Cheng's organization, handling acquisitions, negotiations, renovations, and base construction as head of its Logistics Department. 539 565 587
