Hanya

Background & History

Hanya is a judge working for the Ten Lords Bureau, an institution tasked with monitoring the lifespan and laws of long-lived species on the Xianzhou Alliance 22 23. Because of the nature of her work—enduring the deluge of karmic information from Mara-struck Bodies and reviewing endless crime records in the Hall of Karma—she suffers from chronic insomnia, prolonged depression, and emotional exhaustion 22 23 29. As a member of the Ten Lords Bureau, she belongs to a group of orphans, eccentrics, and criminal conscripts who are entirely detached from ordinary society 22.

She shares a deep bond with her older sister, Xue Yi, whose mechanical puppet body is frequently destroyed while hunting fugitives, placing immense strain on Xue Yi's soul 23. Distressed by her sister's self-endangering persistence, Hanya reaches out to Bai Jun for help and later relies on him to escort Xue Yi during her rare "Return to Life" half-day leaves 23 27. Over time, her professional and friendly association with Bai Jun transitions into a deep, consuming romantic attraction, causing her to experience intense jealousy and emotional turmoil when she observes Bai Jun growing close to her sister and other women 28 29 38.
