Background / History
Li Muwan began as a Luohe Gate alchemist and one of the first two members of the Peerless Beauty Chat Group alongside Yao Xixue. She initially watched the group's disputes from her alchemy room and tried to mediate between Yao Xixue and Qin Hao. Seeing Qin Hao's appearance and learning that he had reached Nascent Soul at sixteen left her shy, admiring, and convinced that he was far beyond her reach. 3
Qin Hao approached her through alchemy. He sent her Spirit Liquid, which she tested by refining the Grade 2 High-tier Qizuo Pill: her usual success rate of no more than forty percent became seven successes in ten attempts. She then arranged Luohe Gate's exchange of pill recipes for 3,000 drops of the liquid, while receiving an additional 1,000 drops as Qin Hao's personal gift. 6
The Spirit Liquid elevated Li Muwan's standing within Luohe Gate. She became Lan Ruo's disciple, used the resource to refine pills for herself and her brother Li Qiqing, and rapidly formed her Core. 28 Her relationship with Qin Hao developed from private chat exchanges into an acknowledged Dao companionship; he publicly entrusted her with a Jade Slip containing ten Spirit Transformation-level attacks before departing. 38
During Qin Hao's absence of more than two hundred years, Li Muwan continued advancing, refined pills for the combined War God Temple and Luohe Gate, and underwent Human Transformation with Yao Xixue. She abandoned a Fifth-grade pill mid-refinement when she sensed Qin Hao's return, rushing to reunite with him. 61
She later became Qin Hao's principal wife. When Liu Mei met the group, Qin Hao identified Li Muwan as his first Dao Companion; Li Muwan rejected hierarchy among Qin Hao's wives and encouraged them to treat one another as sisters. 154 By the time Qin Hao began traveling beyond Vermilion Bird Star, she had taken Zhou Ru as a disciple and continued teaching cultivation, refining pills, and maintaining the home he entrusted to her. 222 223 230
Appearance
Li Muwan is portrayed as an elegant, refined beauty with a gentle and fragile air, heightened by the mental exhaustion caused by long periods of alchemy. 3
- Black, silk-like hair, often loosely tied while working in her alchemy room. 37
- Delicate, pale complexion and an elegant face described as a national beauty. 3
- Often wears red, purple, or snow-white robes. 3 37 98
- After Yin Transformation, she emerges wreathed in Immortal Qi, appearing ethereal and otherworldly. 98
Personality
Li Muwan is modest and easily embarrassed, particularly around Qin Hao. Even when excited to see him, she is conscious of their cultivation gap and initially addresses him formally as “Senior.” 29 Her shyness does not prevent her from acting decisively when others need help: she personally asks Qin Hao to protect the mortals of Huofen Kingdom from the Fire Spirit Beasts. 30
She is devoted to alchemy and scholarly cultivation, choosing to devote herself to Pill Dao and Formation Dao rather than political affairs. 155 As a mentor, she can be stern with Zhou Ru, demanding that her disciple reach Nascent Soul before being allowed to leave seclusion. 222
Li Muwan is deeply loyal to Qin Hao but is not entirely free of jealousy during his long absences. She ultimately accepts his relationships with other women as long as he continues to value her, and she actively promotes harmony among them. 141 154 223
