Background / History

Niya is a princess of the Proud Moon Empire and the daughter of Emperor Ao Gan. Her father initially regards her as an unexceptional daughter because of her weak cultivation aptitude, while Niya herself fears his cold manner 281 321. Her brother Brian is notably more protective of her, supporting her when she pleads against her arranged marriage 505.

She first meets Chen Yun in the Hundred Thousand Forest, where he saves her from a Fourth Order Peak Rhino Horn Beast. Though frightened, Niya tries to warn and pull him away when the injured beast attacks again, establishing her concern for him from their first encounter 40. She later tends to him during periods of injury and becomes increasingly attached to him 54 75.

Niya’s Pure Yin Body is concealed by the Proud Moon royal family. Saxi reveals that its “red pill” and Pure Yin energy make her a target for male cultivators, while her natural talent has been suppressed by heaven; historical holders of the physique died young after being exploited for its power 125 126. Her special aura is hidden so thoroughly that even Venerable experts would struggle to detect it without close examination 349.

Saxi and his son Norton pursue a marriage alliance with the Proud Moon Empire, intending for Norton to obtain Niya’s red pill. Ao Gan ultimately agrees to a marriage scheduled for when Niya turns eighteen, despite his concerns for her safety and Chen Yun’s involvement 126 349. Norton later assaults Niya, but she resists him and escapes after striking him across the face 161 162.

Niya is compelled toward a wedding with Norton despite begging Ao Gan not to force the marriage 505. During the subsequent turmoil caused by the exposure of her Pure Yin Body, she dies; Chen Yun returns too late, kills Norton and Saxi, and retrieves her body in grief 508 509. By the time the group reaches the Tian Xuan Ancient Battlefield, Niya has been revived after great effort 587.

In the ancient land, Spiritual Qi removes the suppression on Niya’s physique and awakens her potential as a Pure Yin Maiden, one of the “darlings” of the ancient world 529 530. She later receives the inheritance and Divine Seed of an Ancient Pure Yin Heavenly Maiden, granting her an exceptionally smooth path of cultivation 589 592.

Niya and Chen Yun eventually marry. During their wedding night, Chen Yun deliberately redirects most of her red pill energy back into her body so that she, rather than he, receives the greatest benefit 698 699. Ten years later, they have a son, Long Xing, whom Niya raises with affection while continuing her rapid cultivation 845 846.

Appearance

Niya is a fair-skinned young woman with long sea-blue hair and deep blue eyes often compared to the ocean or sapphires. Her Pure Yin physique gives her a naturally sacred, gentle presence that causes others to feel instinctive fondness toward her 125 161 319.

• Long, pale- or sea-blue hair reaching her waist; after later growth, it is often arranged in a high bun 161 551 592.
• Clear blue eyes described as sea-like, sapphire-like, and unusually pure 161 319.
• A distinctive crystalline mark appears between her brows after her Pure Yin Maiden awakening 551.
• Her post-inheritance aura is repeatedly described as sacred, ethereal, noble, and reminiscent of an ancient heavenly maiden 592.
• She wears the crystal-clear Heavenly Maiden Sacred Hairpin after inheriting it from the ancient Heavenly Maiden 590 592.

Personality

Niya is gentle, considerate, and deeply loyal to those she loves. She worries intensely over Chen Yun’s injuries and safety, even attempting to chase after him when he stays behind to face the Pseudo Dragon Beast alone 52 75. Chen Yun considers her kind and thoughtful, remembering how she cared for him during his injuries and defended him despite being hurt herself 129.

Although often frightened by violence and powerful opponents, Niya can act bravely under pressure. She warns Chen Yun during the Rhino Horn Beast’s attack, resists Norton’s assault, and gradually adapts to the brutal dangers of the ancient land 40 162 532.

She later displays considerable emotional maturity. When Ru Qing admits her own feelings for Chen Yun, Niya does not blame her; the two instead become closer through their shared feelings and mutual restraint 804.

Abilities & Skills
