Background / History

Huohuo first met Bai Sheng as a child in Kasantiya after human traffickers deceived and abducted her. Bai Sheng had the traffickers arrested, took her out to recover from the incident, and brought her to her guardian; she remembered him as her benefactor. 1

By the time Bai Sheng arrived on the Xianzhou Luofu, Huohuo had joined the Ten Lords Bureau as a Trainee Judge of the Lock Department. She lived with Grandpa Tail, a Suiyang sealed to her tail, and her rapid promotion had left her on probation despite her strong aptitude for Judge duties. 38 44

Huohuo reunited with Bai Sheng on the Luofu, recognized him immediately, and accepted his invitation to visit his shop. After he asked her to call him by name rather than “Benefactor,” the two became friends. 38

Appearance

Huohuo is a petite Foxkin girl with light-green hair, drooping fox ears, and a tail that resembles a mass of cyan, wolf-like foxfire rather than an ordinary physical tail. 38 42

• Light-green hair and a small hat. 42
• Yin-Yang fish hair ornaments. 42
• Fluffy ears that droop when she is upset or embarrassed. 39 57
• A tail housing the sealed Suiyang Grandpa Tail. 38
• Usually wears practical short clothing and a white outer shirt threaded with gold. 45

Personality

Huohuo is initially timid, trusting, and easily flustered, particularly around strangers, danger, and horror stories. Despite being scared of them, she stays up watching horror films, which contributes to her frequent dark circles. 38 44

She is diligent and unusually talented at Ten Lords Bureau work. Her paper figures retain their intended functions despite their exaggerated expressions, and she learned a difficult luck talisman to roughly seventy percent effectiveness after only three days of practice. 44 57

When Bai Sheng or her comrades are threatened, Huohuo can overcome her fear and act decisively. Her growth through the Suiyuan crisis teaches her to fight with her own talismans, paper figures, and judgment rather than always hiding behind others. 156 159 160

Huohuo is deeply attached to Bai Sheng and can become jealous or possessive when she fears losing him. Her Nuo Masks intensify her confidence and assertiveness, while her ordinary self remains prone to shyness and self-doubt. 201 288 308

Story Role / Major Arcs

Medicine Master's Secret Transmission Infiltration

When Bai Sheng is publicly branded a defector, Huohuo refuses to believe the accusations and seeks proof of his innocence. She investigates his location, uses paper figures to observe him, and ultimately learns that he is working undercover. 57 61 63

Huohuo agrees to pose as a defector and joins the Medicine Master's Secret Transmission as Bai Sheng's personal secretary. Her inherent Path of Abundance prevents the organization from immediately suspecting her, while the pair secretly pass intelligence to Jing Yuan. 63 65

Suiyuan and Tail's Departure

During the Suiyuan crisis, Huohuo confronts possessed Underworld Officials and Suiyang alongside Bai Sheng, Xueyi, and Grandpa Tail. Her unique condition—already sharing a body with a Suiyang—prevents other Suiyang from possessing her and makes her indispensable to the operation. 155 156

She removes Tail's seal to confront Fuyan's forces, then is devastated when Tail disappears after entering Fuyan's body. Tail later admits to Bai Sheng that he left temporarily so Huohuo would learn to stand independently. 159 160

Fuyan subsequently tricks Huohuo into facing a Suiyang alone. Bai Sheng finds her unconscious, and Tail returns to help remove the Suiyang from within her. 167

Kasantiya Training

While staying in Kasantiya, Huohuo initially seeks military training but accepts Bai Zhu's offer to teach her puppetry instead. During an awakening ceremony, she gains the unprecedented talent [Nuo Opera Wards Off Evil]. 199 200

Her talent reveals a fearless masked persona capable of wielding verdant flames and fighting alongside Tail. She then proves herself a puppetry prodigy, mastering theory, combat control, Silver Wing strings, and one-string operation at extraordinary speed. 201 202 203 205

Bai Sheng's Death and Revival

After learning of Bai Sheng's apparent death, Huohuo insists on waiting for him and later struggles with grief while he remains sealed in Six-Phase Ice. She buries herself in excessive Ten Lords Bureau work, becoming unusually cold and efficient during arrests. 214 226

Following Bai Sheng's revival, Huohuo continues supporting him while becoming more openly protective of their relationship. Her fear of losing him remains a major source of both her devotion and possessiveness. 229 230 238

Later Ten Lords Bureau Operations

Huohuo matures into a formal Judge and independently pursues remnants of the Medicine Master's Secret Transmission. She leads Lock Department combat, support, and arrest teams to secure prisoners and clean up Bai Sheng's operations. 448 493 498
