Background / History

Zhang Ruohan was born in Cold Hill Land as the legitimate Ninth Miss of the Zhang Clan. Her father, Zhang Tianxue—the Heavenly Snow Divine Lord—was once the seventh-ranked of the Thousand God Alliance’s twenty-four Divine Lord Elders. The clan once ruled thirty-six ice cities in the region before its decline, which Zhang Ruohan attributes to a misunderstanding involving her elder brother and the Heavenly Wind God King. 1340

In an earlier life, Zhang Ruohan and Chen Xiu entered an Ancient Battlefield seeking an opportunity, became trapped in a Secret Realm, and died there. Their reincarnations were caught in an extended cycle; Zhang Ruohan later spent more than three hundred eras within the Secret Realm, repeatedly rebuilding her cultivation. 1350 1352

Following one reincarnation, she became an Inner Sect disciple of the Tianwu Sect’s Vermilion Bird Courtyard. While looking for her younger brother Zhang Chu at Rank 95 Academy, she encountered Li Yun and recognized his unusual progress in Basic Stance Cultivation. She brought him into the Inner Sect, initially intending to help Zhang Chu build a useful connection with a promising peer. 7 8
