Background / History

Zi Yan was found by the Primordial Dragon Clan only after its members sensed her royal bloodline. Her father had been a former king of the clan; his disappearance had also separated Zi Yan from the dragons. The clan ultimately recognized her bloodline as no weaker than the former king’s and chose her as its future sovereign. 377

Before returning to Dragon Island, she lived under Elder Huo’s care and was associated with Jia Nan Academy. The academy’s grey-robed guardians took a special interest in her welfare, asking Little Doctor Immortal to treat her well. 252 273

She met Little Doctor Immortal at Jia Nan Academy, claiming to have waited a long time and offering help with recovering her memories and power. Their initially cautious contact developed into a close sisterly bond, with Zi Yan calling her “Dragon Sister.” 280 288

Zi Yan later left Jia Nan Academy alongside Little Doctor Immortal. Elder Huo accepted the decision and entrusted her care to the group, believing she was fortunate to travel with such powerful companions. 292 301

After consuming the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, Zi Yan entered a deep slumber within a crystal shell on the Primordial Dragon sacrificial altar. Little Doctor Immortal spent over three months using bloodline power, essence blood, Mysterious Dragon Qi, poisonous heavenly treasures, and cultivation to accelerate her absorption of the fruit’s energy. 353 377 378

Zi Yan awakened during an assault on East Dragon Island. Revealing an Ancient Dragon Body and Heavenly Phoenix Wings, she ended the battle through royal bloodline authority, healed the wounded, and became the Dragon Clan’s acknowledged Dragon Emperor. 379 380

She is intensely food-motivated, especially by Medicinal Materials, lollipops, candied hawthorn, and powerful energy-rich substances. Her personal aspiration to grow taller is directly tied to her habit of constantly eating. 286 309 320
