Background / History
Family and Her Mother’s Illness
Jiang Nannan comes from a poor commoner household in Lingdou City. While she studies at Shrek Academy, neighbors help care for her sick mother, and she travels home during school breaks. Their home consists of one bedroom and a living room 34 44 46.
Her mother’s worsening condition becomes her main concern. Nannan takes a leave of absence, and the academy sends Su Molin, a healing soul master with the Tree of Life martial soul, to their home. His inability to resolve the illness leaves her searching for another treatment 34.
Tang Ya comforts her despite lacking the money to help. During the Inter-grade Challenge Tournament, Nannan earns money betting on Mu Guiyun’s victories; encouraged by her initial winnings, she eventually stakes both her available coins and her long-saved funds 23 33.
Obtaining the Black Tortoise Divine Pill
Tang Ya formally introduces Nannan to Mu Guiyun after his tournament victory. He asks about her mother’s treatment and identifies the Black Tortoise Divine Pill as a possible solution, though he initially describes it as an exclusive Xuanming Sect medicine unavailable through ordinary purchase 34.
At the Treasure Pavilion, Nannan finds the pill on the third floor. Its price—800,000 Gold Soul Coins—is far beyond her means, and she also worries that its restricted location will prevent an Outer Court disciple from buying it. Mu Guiyun purchases it for her without imposing conditions 42.
A week later, Nannan travels with Mu Guiyun and Tang Ya to Lingdou City. She gives her mother the pill and explains that Mu Guiyun financed its purchase. As her mother recovers, Mu Guiyun offers them accommodation in Shrek City and plans to have Elder Zhuang conduct a further examination 43 45 46 47.
Life at Shrek and Tournament Selection
Nannan’s gratitude toward Mu Guiyun develops into romantic attachment. She openly accompanies him arm-in-arm, later asks him to remain with her at the Rose Hotel, and continues trusting him when his relationship with Ma Xiaotao causes tension 62 78 89.
She survives the Outer Court selection melee and becomes one of Shrek Academy’s seven tournament reserves. At the team introductions, she announces her Rank 41 cultivation and Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul 86 87.
During the tournament period, Mu Guiyun helps her acquire cultivation resources at an auction. Xu Jiujiu subsequently invites Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, Tang Ya, and Ye Guyi out and questions their future plans as part of an effort to recruit the women closest to him 95 111 112.
Appearance
- Blonde hair and rabbit ears: Mu Guiyun recognizes her distinctive rabbit-eared appearance when Tang Ya introduces them 34.
- Long, straight legs: Described wearing white silk stockings at their first meeting 34.
- Recognized beauty: Introduced as the third grade’s school beauty and later described as the Outer Court’s campus belle 34 44.
- Melancholic expression: Her brow carries a persistent trace of sadness while her mother remains ill 34.
Personality
Nannan is reserved and easily embarrassed, particularly compared with Tang Ya’s outgoing manner. Her early melancholy stems from her mother’s illness, while her frugality reflects the household’s limited means. Even modest betting winnings are substantial to her 33 34 43.
Her devotion to her mother can override her usual hesitation: desperate to obtain treatment, she offers to do anything in exchange for Mu Guiyun’s help. After he assists without demanding repayment, she expresses gratitude and concern for his safety 42 45 47.
She remains loyal to Mu Guiyun despite uncertainty about his other relationships. When Tang Ya criticizes his unexplained absence, Nannan insists that he will explain himself; she later accepts his past and chooses to remain with him 89.
