Background

Ye Lingling is a descendant of the single-lineage Nine Heart Begonia family. Only two Nine Heart Begonia soul masters can exist in each generation, leaving her family with just herself and her mother, Ye Shutang. The family bears a hereditary curse which Ye Lingling hopes to overcome. 18 19 39

While attending Heaven Dou Royal Academy as a member of the Imperial Fighting Team, she is Dugu Yan's best friend. She initially urges Dugu Yan not to sever ties with Yu Tianheng, but later learns that Qin Yao cured the Dugu family's inherited poison and caused Dugu Yan's Martial Soul to evolve. 15 17

Dugu Yan introduces her to Qin Yao, who recognizes the strategic importance of her healing Martial Soul and invites her family to join Martial Soul Hall. Ye Lingling cannot decide for her mother, but eagerly brings his promise to break the family curse to Ye Shutang. 16 18 19

After Prince Xue Beng pressures Ye Lingling to become his imperial consort, she and Ye Shutang accept Qin Yao's offer. Ye Shutang is appointed a Red-Robed Archbishop, and Ye Lingling withdraws from Heaven Dou Royal Academy to join Martial Soul Hall. 39 40 42 45
