Background / History

Liu Yiyi is the only daughter of Liu Qingshi. She trained under him at the Bluestone Martial Academy, where she was already known for her exceptional talent, icy demeanor, and Dark Strength cultivation. Her father urged her to enter the Azure Sky Sect because remaining under his instruction would limit her future at Transformation Strength; access to a Qi Nourishing Method was necessary to advance further. 3 37

She and Liu Qingshi arrived at the Azure Sky Sect together, where she initially trained as an outer disciple. After consuming the Heaven Heart Ice Seed Lotus during the Tai'an Mountain expedition, her already superior constitution improved enough for exceptional early admission to the inner sect. She chose Mystic Water Peak, influenced by Xie Tang's protection and her own perceived affinity for Water Element True Qi. 51 113 131

Liu Yiyi remains notably diligent after entering the inner sect, continuing to practice alone and even training late at night. Her diligence attracts the attention of Liu Qingyu, who observes her potential and later selects her to travel to the Lin Prefecture Upper Sect. 147 213

Appearance

Liu Yiyi is a tall, slender young woman whose beauty is repeatedly likened to an ice lotus or snow lotus: striking but difficult to approach. Her expression is usually cold and unreadable, while her poised bearing and silent gait reveal a strong martial foundation. 3 51 55

• Long, straight black hair, usually tied simply or in a neat ponytail. 3 184
• Oval face with pale, jade-like skin and cold, clear eyes. 3
• Long legs and a fluid, quiet walking rhythm. 3
• Commonly wears plain black, white, or pale-blue training robes. 3 31 184
• Her calm appearance becomes visibly strained only in moments of intense grief, anger, or embarrassment. 22 60 113
• Her normally focused expression becomes distracted when thinking about Jiang Ye and the connection between him and Old Man Jiang. 184

Personality

Liu Yiyi is reserved, proud, and highly guarded. She treats strangers with cool indifference, discouraging unwanted attention without needing open confrontation. Even Wang Siyi, whom she comes to care about, is firmly corrected for calling her “Senior Sister Yiyi” instead of “Senior Sister Liu.” 3 55 102

Beneath her aloof exterior, she is deeply loyal and responsible. She stays with Wang Siyi during a frightening night in the mountains, worries first about Wang's injuries after waking from her own crisis, and promises not to forget her if she enters the inner sect. She also shows rare tenderness toward her parents and Su Yan. 102 113 124

Her pride leaves her especially vulnerable to the trauma caused by Zhang Xu's scheme. Initially driven to despair and contemplating suicide, she ultimately chooses to continue pursuing her dream of becoming the Zhou Kingdom's first female Martial Saint. 22

Liu Yiyi is also capable of decisive self-sacrifice. Rather than let Gu Yang seize the Heaven Heart Ice Seed Lotus, she swallows the dangerous herb despite knowing that its medicinal power may overwhelm her body. 107 110

Abilities & Skills

Martial Arts Foundation

Liu Yiyi has trained diligently since childhood and possesses an unusually solid foundation for her realm.

• Her stable stance, silent gait, and controlled movements are noted from her first appearance. 3
• She practices alone even while facing retaliation from Xu Qinghuan and Jin Hai. 62
• She continues practicing diligently at Mystic Water Peak, including late-night training sessions. 147 160
• At Transformation Strength, her punches carry lingering force and produce audible whistling through her sleeves. 184
• She retaliates against Xu Qinghuan during their outer-sect conflict, leaving a clear palm print on Xu's face despite suffering a hidden loss herself. 60
• She remains composed when confronted by Jin Hai and refuses to hide despite the threat of retaliation. 62

Enhanced Innate Constitution

The Heaven Heart Ice Seed Lotus significantly improves Liu Yiyi's natural aptitude.

• Xie Tang states that she already possessed a superior constitution before consuming the lotus. 113
• The lotus elevates her talent to the point that she can enter the inner sect exceptionally early and is considered no less promising than true disciple Wen Yueyao. 113
• Its medicinal energy initially overwhelms her Dark Strength body, threatening her heart, lungs, and martial foundation with extreme cold. 110
• Jiang Ye neutralizes the cold energy with Fire Element True Qi, allowing her to survive and retain the lotus's benefits. 110 113
• Her resulting foundation is described as stronger than that of an ordinary Transformation Strength practitioner. 186

Perception and Resolve

• Liu Yiyi notices inconsistencies in Jiang Ye's appearance and circumstances, particularly the coincidence between Old Man Jiang's disappearance and Elder Jiang's rise within the Azure Sky Sect. 6 131 132
• She is able to maintain composure under intimidation from Xu Qinghuan and Jin Hai, even when other disciples expect her to retreat. 60 62
• Her cold demeanor conceals strong emotional resilience; after the Lake Heart Pavilion incident, she rejects suicide and resumes her martial path. 22
• She accepts responsibility for Wang Siyi's safety during the Tai'an Mountain expedition and accompanies her outside the camp at night. 102

Notable Items

• Canglan True Water Qi Nourishing Method — Found beneath a tree during the Tai'an Mountain expedition. Liu Yiyi later brings a copy home for Liu Qingshi, giving him a chance to break past his long-standing cultivation bottleneck. 102 124
• Heaven Heart Ice Seed Lotus — A rare ice-attribute spiritual herb she swallows rather than allow Gu Yang to seize it. Its effects improve her innate constitution but nearly kill her. 107 110 113

Relationships

• Liu Qingshi — Her father, first martial mentor, and the person she hopes to help advance by giving him the Canglan True Water Qi Nourishing Method. 3 37 124
• Huang Xiyu — Her mother; Liu Yiyi shows a rarely visible affectionate side during family reunions. 124 213
• Su Yan — One of her few close friends. The two endure Zhang Xu's trap together, support one another afterward, and remain in contact after Liu Yiyi enters the sect. 19 22 124 186
• Wang Siyi — A junior sister who becomes attached to Liu Yiyi. Though Liu Yiyi is stern with her, she protects Wang and promises to remember her after entering the inner sect. 62 102 113 131
• Jiang Ye — Formerly known to her as “Old Jiang,” the elderly gatekeeper of the Bluestone Martial Academy. As Elder Jiang, he repeatedly protects her, saves her from the lotus's cold energy, and becomes the subject of her growing suspicions about his true identity. Liu Yiyi respects and feels grateful toward him, but her recollection of Old Man Jiang and his sudden rise in the Azure Sky Sect prevents her from accepting the coincidence. 3 108 110 132 184 186
• Xie Tang — Liu Qingshi's longtime friend and an elder of Mystic Water Peak. He defends Liu Yiyi from Jin Hai, helps care for Wang Siyi, and supports Liu Yiyi's inner-sect advancement. 62 101 113
• Liu Qingyu — Peak Master of Mystic Water Peak. She notices Liu Yiyi's diligence, takes interest in her potential, and later selects her for the Lin Prefecture Upper Sect. 147 213
• Chen Lili — Senior sister who manages the outer disciples during the Tai'an Mountain expedition. She risks herself while attempting to protect Liu Yiyi from Gu Yang, earning Liu Yiyi's lasting gratitude. 107 185
• Xu Qinghuan — Outer-sect rival who bullies Liu Yiyi and later taunts her over her connection to Elder Jiang. 60 61 186
• Gu Yang — Cold Sword Sect disciple who pursues Liu Yiyi for the Snow Lotus; she swallows it in defiance rather than surrender it to him. 107
• Jin Hai — Xu Qinghuan's powerful fiancé, who threatens Liu Yiyi after her confrontation with Xu. 62
• Liu Qingyu's inner sect — Liu Yiyi's diligence and improved constitution earn her a place at Mystic Water Peak, where she continues to attract the Peak Master's attention. 131 147

Story Role / Major Arcs

Lake Heart Pavilion Incident

Liu Yiyi and Su Yan accept Hu Tian's invitation to a banquet, unaware that Zhang Xu has arranged the meeting to isolate and drug them. After the assault and the intervention of a mysterious white-haired elder, Liu Yiyi is devastated and attempts to take her own life. Su Yan persuades her to live for her martial dream, and the two later seek justice against Zhang Xu. 19 20 22 23

The incident leaves Liu Yiyi with complicated memories of the white-haired elder, whose intervention saved them but whose identity and motives remain unclear to her. 22

Outer Sect Conflict

At the Azure Sky Sect, Liu Yiyi maintains her distance from her peers and becomes a target of Xu Qinghuan. She fights back against Xu and refuses to hide when warned that Xu's powerful fiancé, Jin Hai, may retaliate. Xie Tang intervenes when Jin Hai attacks her. 55 60 62

Tai'an Mountain Expedition

Assigned to Jiang Ye's group during the search for the Former Dynasty Ruins, Liu Yiyi discovers the Canglan True Water Qi Nourishing Method. Inside the ruins, Gu Yang pursues her for the Snow Lotus; she consumes it rather than surrender it, willingly risking her life to deny him the treasure. 102 103 107

The herb's cold energy nearly freezes her to death, but Jiang Ye saves her with Fire Element True Qi. The resulting improvement to her constitution earns her the opportunity to enter the inner sect. 108 110 113

Liu Yiyi also develops a stronger bond with Wang Siyi during the expedition, taking responsibility for the younger disciple's safety and reassuring her that she will not be forgotten after entering the inner sect. 102 113

Return Home and Inner-Sect Advancement

After the expedition, Liu Yiyi returns home to give the Canglan True Water Qi Nourishing Method to her father and recount her near-death experience. She then reunites with Su Yan before formally choosing Mystic Water Peak as an inner disciple. 123 124 131

Her return reveals a rare softness toward her parents. She is especially pleased that the Qi Nourishing Method may allow Liu Qingshi to overcome his long-standing bottleneck. 124

Suspicions Regarding Elder Jiang

Liu Yiyi notices that Elder Jiang's arrival at the sect coincides with Old Jiang's disappearance from the Martial Academy. After asking Wang Siyi to investigate, she begins testing Jiang Ye directly by addressing him as “Old Man Jiang,” but receives no visible reaction. 131 132 186

When she later visits Jiang Ye's Medicine Garden with Su Yan, she recognizes that his bearing, reputation, and timing remain difficult to reconcile with the gatekeeper she knew. Her probe fails to expose him, but her suspicion and curiosity deepen. 184 185 186

Medicine Garden Reunion

Liu Yiyi accompanies Su Yan to the Medicine Garden to thank Jiang Ye and introduce Su Yan. She expresses gratitude to Chen Lili for risking herself during the Tai'an Mountain crisis and respectfully acknowledges Jiang Ye's assistance. 184 185 186

During the visit, Liu Yiyi remains outwardly composed but is noticeably affected by Jiang Ye's presence and by Xu Qinghuan's claim to be his disciple. She leaves without revealing the full extent of her suspicions. 186

Later Development

Liu Yiyi continues cultivating at Mystic Water Peak and reaches the middle stage of Transformation Strength. Her diligence draws Liu Qingyu's attention, and she is eventually selected to travel to the Lin Prefecture Upper Sect, causing concern for her parents. 147 213 276

Even after her advancement, she remains emotionally guarded. At a later gathering, Xu Qinghuan notices Liu Yiyi watching Jiang Ye from the edge of the crowd, suggesting that her interest in and suspicions about him have not faded. 311
