Background

Li Wei’s body originally belonged to a young woman struggling to support her terminally ill younger brother, Li Cheng. Their peacekeeper father died during an Abyss monster attack, their mother died soon after, and Li Cheng’s congenital Abyss erosion syndrome consumed the remaining pension, donations, tuition funds, and rent money. Three days before the story begins, an ordinary young man named Ling Wei transmigrated into Li Wei’s body. 1

After awakening the ability to absorb and allocate Abyss Essence, Li Wei quickly realized that her new power offered a path out of poverty and weakness. Her immediate priority remained Li Cheng’s treatment; she was willing to sell herself to Cheng Hao and intended to repay any money or favors once she had become strong enough. 2 5

Liang Qiushi instead recruited her for a substitute-service arrangement. In exchange for treatment and protection for Li Cheng, Li Wei agreed to impersonate Jiang Xue, marry Gu Jinzhi, and enlist in his place. Her previous identity was systematically erased: photographs, school records, biometric data, and even acquaintances’ memories were targeted for removal or interference. 9 11 13 16

Li Wei adapted to Jiang Xue’s identity, learned etiquette, entered Qingyun Martial Arts University, and was accepted by Jiang Xinyue as family despite lacking blood ties. Jiang Xinyue considered Li Wei’s potential as a Chinese Martial Immortal more important than lineage. 17 35

Appearance

Li Wei is repeatedly noted for extraordinary beauty, a slender build, almond-shaped eyes, fair skin, and long raven-black hair. Her appearance becomes even more refined after repeated Vitality transformations and later divine enhancements. 17 25 289

• Raven-black hair that falls over her shoulders in loose waves; after completing her Divine Seat, it grows unusually quickly. 17 289
• A light-blue dress and strappy sandals formed her first public appearance as “Jiang Xue” in the Imperial Capital. 17
• Her skin becomes smooth and nearly poreless after reaching Vitality 100. 25
• Emits a faint, pure fragrance after intense combat. 50
• Commonly carries a cicada-wing soft sword concealed in a reinforced belt. 14 87
• Can manifest moon-white immortal robes while using the Heng'e Immortal Divine Seat. 264 270

Personality

Li Wei is intensely pragmatic. She treats strength as the surest way to protect Li Cheng and repeatedly chooses dangerous opportunities if they offer experience, resources, or freedom from being controlled by others. Her willingness to accept Liang Qiushi’s substitute-service arrangement stems from devotion to her brother rather than passivity. 5 9 12

Her humor is irreverent and often poorly timed. She makes references from her former life, poses dramatically before fights, mocks powerful people when she thinks they are being ridiculous, and is frequently more excited by Abyssal Monsters as experience sources than by conventional military honors. 113 201 241

She is capable of genuine compassion, particularly toward ordinary soldiers and those exploited by stronger Martial Artists. Zheng Ye’s abuse and the treatment of Military Martial Artists provoke her into brutally punishing the responsible cadets. 237 238

Li Wei also recognizes that rapid strength has worsened her impulse control. After the Wuzhen campaign, she questions whether her soul injury and continual growth have made her increasingly reckless and violent. 133

Abilities & Skills

Abyss Essence System

Li Wei can absorb Abyss Essence from Abyssal Monsters, abnormal mist, and certain defeated entities, then spend it to raise attributes, restore Vitality, improve techniques, and unlock upgrades. 2 131 132

• Raised her Vitality directly to 70 and later to 100 through Essence allocation. 2 25
• Can use one point of Essence to replenish 100 Vitality, though she considers this wasteful compared with permanent upgrades. 49
• Gains large quantities of Essence by defeating monsters; a single frontline battle raised her reserve to 143,380. 200
• The purple-black mist gives her Essence but creates concern that she is becoming addicted to the sensation of absorption. 132

Nine Moon Reflection Swords

The Jiang Family’s inherited sword art is Li Wei’s main combat system. Its first stance, Cold Pond Sinking Jade, emphasizes silent, efficient strikes, speed, covert movement, and low consumption. 15 27

• Cold Pond Sinking Jade — progressed from Initiated to Minor Accomplishment through Abyss Essence; later reached Great Accomplishment. 27 153
• Pale Soul Splitting Light — brought to Great Accomplishment with Essence. 153
• Great Yin Edict — brought to Great Accomplishment with Essence. 153
• Middle Three Swords — unlocked after her advancement, including Moon Blade Travels the Heavens, Jade Pot Light Turns, and Shattered Mirror Funeral Flowers. 323
• Uses the art with finger-sword techniques when unarmed, though this costs more Vitality than wielding a weapon. 47 50
• Its speed and stealth are exceptionally effective against equal- or lower-ranked targets, but its direct power was initially less suited to challenging stronger enemies. 51

Sword Intent and Unity of Heaven and Man

Li Wei awakened a frost-like Sword Intent that lets her attacks resonate with her Sea of Consciousness and obscures her killing intent from opponents. 65

• Her Frost Moon Sword Intent creates a cold, moonlike aura around her sword strikes. 65 180
• The Intent’s concealment effect makes enemies react after her attacks have already landed. 65
• Unity of Heaven and Man expands her combat presence and makes her swordwork more difficult to track. 180 313
• When combined with her White Lotus manifestation and Sword Intent, she can contend far above her normal realm. 180 291

Four Seasons Sword Array

Li Wei upgraded four Lotus Seeds into Lotus Swords and gained the Four Seasons Sword Array, a large-scale area-denial and extermination technique. 205

• Has a lower-spec mode and a complete mode, with the latter demanding substantially more resources. 205
• Eradicated Abyssal Monsters within a 120-meter radius during a frontline assault. 209
• After Divine Seat enhancement, expanded its effective diameter to nearly 1,000 meters. 267
• Can cover an entire city in a Heavenly River small world. 285
• Its largest deployments consume Vitality so quickly that Li Wei must replenish herself with Essence. 267
• The array’s lotus seeds originated from Jiang Xinyue’s inherited Four Seasons Sword Array. 87 172

Great Yin Divine Seat

Li Wei first equipped the incomplete Heng'e Immortal Divine Seat and later completed the Great Yin Star Lord Divine Seat. 264 344

• The incomplete Heng'e Immortal seat increased all Great Yin methods and Intent by its completion percentage. 264 266
• Raising the Divine Seat increased her Vitality capacity from 10,000 to 100,000. 267
• The completed Great Yin Star Lord seat provides a 1000% enhancement to Great Yin cultivation methods, combat methods, and Intent. 344
• Its completion granted her a surge of power connected to countless worlds and altered her state beyond ordinary Martial Immortal limits. 344

Diamond Body

A top-tier defensive body-refining combat method gifted by Zhang Luye. 241 242

• Provides a 100% defensive bonus for practitioners below the Martial Immortal realm. 242
• Its effectiveness rises with the user’s Vitality and the stability of their foundation. 242
• Was intended to offset Li Wei’s high offense and comparatively weak defense. 241

Great Dream and True Manifestation

At her highest documented state, Li Wei possesses the authorities of Great Dream and True Manifestation. 341

• Can create and maintain “Other Selves” across separate worlds. 370
• Manipulates and corrects the flow of time while observing eras pass. 399 400
• Later divides history before her transmigration into more than a hundred segments and places them in the Heavenly River. 400

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Cicada-wing soft sword — a high-quality pseudo-divine weapon concealed at her waist; suited to the silent speed of Cold Pond Sinking Jade. 14 87
• Sword belt — a high-strength memory-alloy belt that conceals and deploys her soft sword. 14
• Four Lotus Swords — evolved from Lotus Seeds and serve as the foundation of the Four Seasons Sword Array. 205 323
• Protective jade token — given by Huang Lei after the Heart-Questioning Test as a protective charm. 185
• Diamond Body jade token — a one-use inheritance token from Zhang Luye that disintegrated after transferring the combat method. 241 242
• Heng'e Immortal Divine Seat — crescent-jade Divine Seat that grants Great Yin enhancement and moon-white immortal attire. 264

Relationships

• Li Cheng — younger brother and Li Wei’s foremost priority. She accepts substitute service to save him, while he trusts that she has a hidden plan and later remains determined to restore her after her rebirth. 5 12 347
• Gu Jinzhi — fiancé and later husband through the substitute-service arrangement. Their relationship begins formally and awkwardly but develops into mutual affection; they later raise a son together. 51 183 413
• Liang Qiushi — Gu Jinzhi’s mother and architect of Li Wei’s Jiang Xue impersonation. She arranges Li Cheng’s treatment and provides Li Wei with martial inheritances, but also manipulates her for the Gu Family’s needs. 9 11 13
• Jiang Xinyue — mentor and grandmother figure. She guides Li Wei through the Great Yin Jade Lotus Treasure Scroll and entrusts her with the Jiang Family sword inheritance. 30 172 186
• Jiang Xue — the original woman Li Wei impersonates. Their relationship is hostile; Jiang Xue resents Li Wei’s talent and watches her take over the identity prepared for her. 16 17
• Huang Lei — Commander of the Martial Arts Alliance’s Imperial Capital branch. He grants Li Wei genius treatment, supports her certification, and gives her a protective jade token. 51 90 185
• Qin Lan — Seventh Squad comrade and close military friend. Qin Lan helps Li Wei adapt to the 19th Army and later gives her a peace knot for protection. 203 205 242
• Yun Heng — Martial Immortal mentor and political protector. He negotiates with Li Wei to keep her on monster-hunting duty, shields her from logistics assignments, and offers guidance after her conflicts. 217 218 315
• Zhang Luye — Zhang Family Martial Immortal who gifts Li Wei the Diamond Body and later seeks reconciliation over his family’s actions. 241 258
• Ma Baoguo — Major General, later revealed as a Heavenly Ruins member using the title “True Lord of Pure Origin and Wonderful Way” or “Erlang Shen.” 241 261

Story Role / Major Arcs

Survival and the Jiang Xue Identity

Li Wei begins as a newly transmigrated girl burdened by Li Cheng’s illness and extreme poverty. Her Essence system gives her an immediate route to strength, but Liang Qiushi’s offer forces her to exchange her identity for Li Cheng’s treatment and Gu Jinzhi’s substitute military service. 1 5 9 13

As Jiang Xue, Li Wei is placed within the Jiang and Gu Families, rapidly learns their martial arts, and reveals abnormal aptitude by mastering Cold Pond Sinking Jade in minutes. 15 16

Imperial Capital Rise

Li Wei publicly demonstrates her strength by defeating Yun Zheng with one sword, gaining recognition from the Jiang Family. She later defeats more than forty Tengxiang students and then over two hundred assessment candidates, earning First Order certification and high-level Martial Arts Alliance treatment. 27 47 50 52

Mirror World and Great Jing

Within the Mirror World, Li Wei serves alongside Emperor Gu Jinzhi, destroys Yang Dewen’s forces, suppresses palace conspirators, and helps stabilize the Jing Dynasty. Her willingness to kill officials she judges insincere establishes her as a feared and absolute force in court politics. 101 102 120

Western Frontier Service

Li Wei joins the 19th Army rather than accept a safer logistics assignment. She embraces frontline combat, earns First-Class Merit, becomes a Major, and is eventually made temporary Major General and frontline commander of the support legions. 201 220 241 242

Her experience with ordinary soldiers deepens her hatred of privileged cadets who abuse Military Martial Artists. She publicly punishes Han Che, Zhao Jing, Luo Bin, and their associates for attacking soldiers, then sings of remembrance and home as the soldiers respond across the frontier. 237 238 239

Heavenly Ruins and Divine Seats

Li Wei enters the Heavenly Ruins through recurring dreams, first using the alias “Lei Feng” and later appearing as Heng'e. She gains the Heng'e Immortal Divine Seat, explores Heavenly River small worlds, and uses the Four Seasons Sword Array to annihilate threats on a citywide scale. 221 264 270 285

Abyss War, Death, and Rebirth

Li Wei reaches the Divine Seat stage during the war against the Abyss, later receives the Great Yin Divine Seat from Eternal Night, and begins to disintegrate after the Abyssal passage closes. 322 344

Forty-nine days later, a lotus seed blooms and recreates her body. Her White Lotus mark reappears, confirming her continuing status as a Martial Way prodigy despite rebirth. 347

Eternal Era

Li Wei eventually preaches the Dao at Purple Heaven Palace, guides disciples who attain Eternity, assists Gu Jinzhi in establishing the Heavenly Court, and manipulates time from behind the scenes. 399 400

Trivia

• Li Wei publicly claims that her pre-breakthrough Vitality was 93, while her actual value reached 100, the “99+1” threshold. 28 51 90
• She can master recorded martial arts information at absurd speed, including completing six new sword stances in eight minutes. 153
• Her early combat motivation is openly tied to gaining Abyss Essence; she considers monster hunting more appealing than conventional prestige or administrative duties. 200 201
• Li Wei’s “Little Bodhisattva” public image contrasts sharply with her own preference for irreverence, dramatic posing, and direct violence. 166 238
