Background / History

Yuan Yiyi left the Imperial Capital with Yuan Qing'er to explore the world, having used an arranged blind date as the pretext for running away from home. Her parents later reveal that she had simply grown tired of remaining in the capital. 198 213

At Yuelai Inn, she investigated the mysterious coffin being escorted by Kong Wu, believing that its ability to activate the Demon Seeking Mirror and attract Golden Core demonic cultivators was linked to unusual activity within the Demon Suppression Division. 136 138 After Kong Wu eliminated the demon cultivators, she and Yuan Qing'er followed him toward Yuzhou. 137 138

Yuan Yiyi accompanied Kong Wu into the canyon associated with the Black Armored Army after identifying its history from family records. There, she learned that Yuan Jingshan, a founding ancestor recorded in her clan genealogy, had used a forbidden Yuan family method to refine the army into War Fiends. Although her own branch does not descend from Yuan Jingshan, she is shaken by the legacy tied to her family name. 142 145 150

She continued traveling with Kong Wu, Yuan Qing'er, and later Yang Boyi. Their route led them into the illusory Huangping City, where she lost forty years of Vitality to City Sorrow's effects, and later through Wusheng Zhenxiang Inn's ghost-wall formation. 153 157 158 175

During the Lake God incident, Yuan Yiyi used several protective treasures left by her father to survive attacks beyond her own cultivation. After Kong Wu's battle with Gui Shijun, Yuan Xuangang arrived and brought her home to the Imperial Capital. 181 197 198 201

Appearance

Yuan Yiyi is a graceful young woman whose presence is described as cool and elegant. She and Yuan Qing'er often traveled in men's clothing to avoid harassment, but she later resumed wearing women's attire. 151 154

• Carries a slender longsword. 137
• Her sword is a high-grade magic treasure. 137
• Was mistaken for a cross-dressing man while disguised. 137
• Is recognized by Yang Boyi as having changed greatly since childhood. 151

Personality

Yuan Yiyi is curious, civic-minded, and unwilling to ignore potential threats. She follows Kong Wu because she wants to understand what the Demon Suppression Division is transporting amid unrest within and beyond the court. 138

She is cautious around danger and knowledgeable about historical records, formations, and cultivation matters, but she still chooses to enter dangerous situations when she believes people may need protection. 142 145 175 176 Her caution contrasts with Kong Wu's directness, though she repeatedly follows his lead after judging that the threat cannot be ignored. 142 145

Her confidence does not extend to navigation. She repeatedly gets lost while insisting on reading maps herself, becoming embarrassed when Yuan Qing'er exposes the mistake. 138 153 She is also trusting enough to be deceived by the impostor claiming to be Yuanqiu, a mistake that leaves her deeply embarrassed once her father explains the truth. 177 201
