Background

Pei Yiman lost her parents at an early age. At eight, her Spirit Awakening Ritual revealed a rare cultivation-suited special physique, raising her physical fitness severalfold and making her the Pei Family's designated future Patriarch. The expectations placed on her became a persistent source of pressure. 5 13

She gave Ling Wuyuan access to the Spirit Awakening Ritual after becoming curious about his ease and sense of freedom despite his circumstances. She initially intended to take him in as a household servant and provide him with cultivation resources. 13

Following the Pei Family's annihilation, Pei Yiman and Ling Wuyuan separated. She asked him to avenge her family should she die before gaining the necessary strength; he promised that her enemies would die miserably if he became powerful enough. 13 14

She later entered the Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion under Yuan Yujun. Her physique's exceptional compatibility with the Pavilion's techniques established her as one of the sect's foremost prospects. 210 296

Personality

Pei Yiman is quiet, composed, and generally reluctant to speak at length. She prefers handling matters silently rather than explaining herself, which leaves her particularly uncomfortable when others doubt claims she knows to be true. 692

Her calm demeanor conceals intense loyalty and hatred for those responsible for her family's destruction. She is grateful to Ling Wuyuan for his past help and remains determined to obtain revenge, either personally or with his aid. 13 121

Despite preferring a peaceful life with her master, fellow disciples, and Ling Wuyuan, she does not evade responsibility. When offered greater prospects at the Pavilion headquarters, her first concern was whether she could bring Ling Wuyuan and her sisters with her. 715
