Background

Luyi initially served at Myriad Blossom Pavilion, where she received extensive training in etiquette, literacy, posture, poetry, and tea arts. Although born to an ordinary family, she developed refined bearing through the pavilion's cultivation 273 275.

After regaining her freedom, Luyi chose to continue working for Myriad Blossom Pavilion. Qingyi directly asked whether she wished to remain by Jiang Ning's side, and Luyi admitted that she did 262. She subsequently requested that Jiang Ning take her in as an attendant responsible for his meals and daily affairs; he accepted while warning her that he would first observe whether she was trustworthy 263.

Jiang Ning later made Luyi his first Divine Descendant Subordinate, using his incomplete Divine Descendant Subordinate Authority and blood to establish a mark within her mind. The mark lets him sense her emotions and grants her extraordinary physical enhancement, while also placing her under his control 273 274.

Under Jiang Ning's instruction, Luyi began practicing the improved Five Animal Frolics Fist. Her unusually strong physical foundation, diligence, and adequate comprehension enabled her to advance through several martial ranks in only months 274 290 300. She later traveled with Zhong Ling to the Royal Capital and reunited with Jiang Ning at the Imperial Advisor's Residence 769.

Appearance

Luyi is a fair-skinned young woman often dressed in green, with graceful manners and a notably refined bearing despite her ordinary origins 262 273.

• Commonly wears a green dress or green skirt 262 274 386.
• Wore a white rabbit-fur coat over her green skirt in winter 273.
• Her smile causes her eyes to curve into crescents 263.
• At home, she wears two small braids 611.
• Her poised movement and delicate steps reflect her Myriad Blossom Pavilion upbringing 262.

Personality

Luyi is devoted, industrious, and eager to be useful. She handles Jiang Ning's daily life meticulously, waits for him when he returns late, and often sacrifices rest to ensure that his food, tea, clothing, and household needs are prepared 276 386 423 478.

She is equally serious about martial training. After gaining the opportunity to cultivate, she pushes herself to practice for hours before dawn, explaining that she must not waste the chance Jiang Ning gave her 290. Her admiration for Jiang Ning is open and intense; he finds her enthusiasm and wonder at his abilities emotionally uplifting 273 308.

Her attachment to Jiang Ning is complicated by the Divine Descendant Mark. Jiang Ning senses no malice from her and perceives intense admiration and affection, but the mark also gives him authority over her life and power 273 309.
