Background / History

Education and early life

Lin Xiuwen studied computer science at Hanjiang University and won first prize while representing the university at the National College Computer Competition. She is the daughter of Fumin Technology Group chairman Lin Yuemin and Zhou Wei; her family’s prominence also includes relatives in politics and the military. 18 42 60

She met Zhang Shuai and Sun Xiaoya while learning to drive. Initially quiet and reserved, she became close to both classmates and used her computer expertise to remove the encryption from Zhang Shuai’s USB drive. 17 19 20

Relationship with Zhang Shuai

Lin initially kept her growing relationship with Zhang discreet because Sun Xiaoya, her best friend, also had feelings for Zhang. After a private meeting following a group outing, she and Zhang began dating; their relationship deepened despite periods of separation caused by Bureau training. 25 27 43 44

Zhang proposed with a storage ring, and Lin accepted without hesitation. She later confronted her father’s objections, defended Zhang’s character and status, registered their marriage with him, and married him in Qingshui City. 143 144 145 147

749 Bureau career

After developing qi through the Big Dipper Long Fist, Lin chose to enter the 749 Bureau for formal cultivation. Her reported overseas AI research was a cover for her classified training. 45 48

Lin became the Bureau’s first publicly recognized Foundation Establishment cultivator after enduring a difficult breakthrough. Her testing established exceptional physical benchmarks: a 2.28-second 100-meter sprint, punching force beyond the tester’s 10-ton limit, and jumps exceeding 10 meters. 61 62

When the Bureau’s revised Small Heavenly Cycle Art failed to produce other breakthroughs, Lin submitted the correct version supplied by Zhang Shuai while presenting it as her own meridian-path correction. The Bureau credited her with solving the technique and elevated her standing among the trainees. 64

She was subsequently appointed leader of the 749 Bureau’s Elite Group, composed of its 60 Foundation Establishment cultivators, and was entrusted with attempts to open artifacts recovered from an extraterrestrial cultivator. 71 73

Supreme Mystery Sect and ascension

After Xuan Yu reestablished the Supreme Mystery Sect, he appointed Lin its Grand Elder because she was the sect’s strongest Soul Fusion cultivator apart from him. She later served as honorary principal of Supreme Mystery Academy and helped oversee sect affairs and resources. 162 259

Lin and Zhang Shuai had a son, Zhang Siwen, and later a grandson, Zhang Yufeng. She continued cultivating through Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, and Great Luo before ascending with Zhang Yufeng. 230 281 348 611

Upon reaching the Immortal Realm, Lin was welcomed as the matriarch of Dragon Soaring Island, where Zhang Shuai publicly affirmed her status and ordered the island’s disciples to protect and assist her. 612

Appearance

Lin is first described as a graceful young woman with long hair, large eyes, long eyelashes, and a clean, understated style, often favoring T-shirts, jeans, dresses, or ponytails. 16 23

After Foundation Establishment, her skin became fairer and more refined, while her bearing developed an ethereal, composed quality. 65 76

• Usually favors simple, fresh, “pure and natural” clothing after learning that Zhang prefers that style. 128
• Can also adopt a mature, glamorous appearance when she chooses. 25
• Her cultivation noticeably enhances her poise and physical presence. 65 78

Personality

Lin is quiet, reserved, and easily embarrassed by Sun Xiaoya’s blunt teasing, but she is not passive. She is direct when rejecting unwanted attention, ultimately ending Li Feng’s harassment by firmly declaring that she already has a boyfriend. 17 19 59

She is intelligent, ambitious, and highly determined in cultivation. Her willingness to consume Spirit Stones continuously and push through a painful Foundation Establishment attempt reflects both her perseverance and desire to grow stronger. 59 60

Despite her wealth and status, Lin is considerate toward Zhang Shuai’s friends and family. She persuaded her father to promote and attend Wang Qiang’s restaurant opening, using her own abilities to convince him when necessary. 79 80

Lin is deeply loyal to Zhang, but can be possessive or jealous around perceived romantic rivals. Her teasing exchanges with Zhang remain a defining feature of their marriage. 43 134 348
