Background

Ya Fei was the person in charge of the Mite'er Family's auction house in Wutan City. Before obtaining her Diary Copy, she had witnessed Chu Xiao discipline Jia Lie Ao and had quickly learned of his breakthrough to the Dou Master realm. 25

Her early lack of cultivation talent left her at only the Dou Zhe realm despite being in her twenties. Rather than relying on strength, she developed an exceptional eye for people and opportunities, particularly in business and negotiation. 26 51

She had fled the imperial capital to Wutan City to escape Mu Zhan's persistent pursuit. She also sought enough influence within the Mite'er Family to avoid being used in a marriage alliance. 49

Appearance

Ya Fei is a voluptuous, mature beauty with an openly seductive presence. Her red hair, peach-blossom eyes, and luxurious clothing make her immediately recognizable among Wutan City's elites. 38 127

• Fiery red hair, sometimes described as damp after bathing. 127
• Narrow peach-blossom eyes and an enchanting expression. 38
• A full figure contrasted by a slim waist. 38
• Often wears expensive, elegant dresses suited to her status as an auction-house executive. 38 214

Personality

Ya Fei is perceptive, opportunistic, and remarkably quick at analyzing incomplete information. Without even reading her Diary Copy, she inferred that its “exclusive copy” label meant other holders must exist, then used that realization to turn Yun Yun's hostility into a cautious alliance. 26 27

She is confident in social and commercial settings, frequently using teasing speech, charm, and calculated vulnerability to steer conversations. Her confidence is backed by practical judgment: she recognizes talent early, invested in Chu Xiao despite his deceptive display as a Grade 4 Alchemist, and consistently seeks arrangements that benefit both herself and her allies. 50 60

Although initially disadvantaged in cultivation, Ya Fei refuses to remain a mere ornament beside Chu Xiao. She openly declares her ambition to become the “Golden Empress” and stand as his equal rather than as an accessory. 197

Abilities & Skills

Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart

Ya Fei possesses a weakened Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart, a special talent that makes her exceptionally effective at judging people, objects, and situations. 51

• Enhances intuition and allows her to perceive the essence of certain matters quickly. 51
• Greatly accelerates her thoughts and inspiration when she concentrates. 51
• Gives her strong comprehension in planning, management, and cultivation techniques after her physique improves. 248
• Originally came at the cost of severely weakened cultivation talent. 51

Diary Copy

Ya Fei received Chu Xiao's Notes (Ya Fei's Exclusive Copy) immediately before meeting Yun Yun. 25

• Can bind with other Diary Copy holders as friends when both parties hold their copies within thirty feet. 27
• Unlocked the auxiliary functions Letter, Trade, and Connection through her friendship with Yun Yun. 27
• Diary-linked friendships allow long-distance intelligence sharing, item transfers, and emergency assistance. 27
• Revealing a Diary Copy to an outsider risks losing ownership and having all Diary-related memories sealed. 26
• After meeting the necessary conditions, she gained permission to choose one Heaven-Rank-or-lower cultivation method recorded in the Diary; the initial selection carried a thirty-day cooldown. 80

Great Sun Thunder Body

Ya Fei selected and successfully cultivated the first level of the Great Sun Thunder Body through her Diary Copy. 80

• Lightning tempering purified impurities from her body and improved her physique. 80
• Increased her cultivation speed and strengthened the Dou Qi cyclone in her dantian. 80
• Improved her skin's firmness and luster, an effect she enthusiastically noted herself. 80
• Continued body tempering eventually turned the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart from a cultivation burden into an advantage. 248

Ice-Attribute Combat

Ya Fei later develops powerful ice-based combat methods and becomes known for her “unrivaled Power of Cold Ice.” 200 364
