Background

Lin Che was an ordinary person from the 21st century before transmigrating into the world of Battle Through the Heavens. Upon awakening there, he received the Drunken Sword Immortal system, which rewards drinking and sword practice with cultivation progress, comprehension, Dou Skills, cultivation methods, and system-purchasable goods. 1 2

He spent five years cultivating in seclusion on the Northwest Continent. Though already powerful at eighteen, he refused Yun Yun's invitation to join the Misty Cloud Sect, believing the continent's factions and human hearts were too treacherous to trust. He instead chose an independent life of wine brewing, sword practice, and gradual advancement. 1 2

Appearance

Lin Che is a white-robed young swordsman whose bearing combines elegance with a deliberately unrestrained, wandering temperament. He usually carries both a sword and a wine gourd. 1 2

• Long black hair falling down his back like a waterfall. 1
• Clear, sharp eyes described as seeming to see through deception. 1
• Commonly wears flowing white robes while wielding a longsword. 2 4
• Keeps a wine gourd at his waist and drinks before or during battle. 1 21
• Can manifest pale-golden Dou Qi wings and later travel by standing atop his sword. 2 33

Personality

Lin Che is cautious about factions and prefers freedom over status. He repeatedly refuses to bind himself to major powers, choosing to cultivate alone and travel at his own pace. His ideal path is one of wine, swordsmanship, and unrestricted wandering. 1 25

He is composed even when facing stronger opponents, often drinking calmly while enemies threaten him. His confidence is backed by careful judgment: he recognizes dangerous situations, uses alcohol strategically to increase his output, and avoids unnecessary delays when others depend on him. 32 162 191

Lin Che is gentle toward those he accepts as companions or disciples, offering Xiao Yi Xian protection, helping Xiao Yan recover his talent, and supporting Yun Yun through her struggles. Conversely, he shows little mercy toward enemies who threaten his people, attempt murder, or prey on the weak. 17 75 100 146
