Background / History
Li Wei began as a diligent but frustrated office employee targeted by his supervisor, Fat Pig Zhang. A mysterious delivery containing the Devil Game contract drew him into the Shadow World after he signed it and lost consciousness 1.
Assigned ID 1987, Li Wei entered the Legend of Sword and Fairy world for his Initial Trial. He used his familiarity with the source game to pursue a high evaluation, deliberately burning the Mountain God Temple to alter Li Xiaoyao's route to learning sword techniques. The decision triggered a far more dangerous mission against the Lantern Ghost, which he survived only after fighting it into the fire and being rescued by the Wine Sword Immortal 2 3 5.
He later rescued Zhao Ling'er, fought Black Miao Tribesmen alongside her and the wraith released by his lantern, and chose to remain in the plot world after completing his main tasks. His intervention in the original plot earned him an A-rank Initial Trial assessment and five attribute points 8 9 10.
After reaching Shadow Street, Li Wei adapted quickly to its economy and survival rules. He invested in Spirit-based abilities, traded for cultivation techniques, and developed a pattern of using information, preparation, and risky plot deviations to gain advantages 11 14 16.
Li Wei later returned to the Sword Immortal World to cultivate through practice rather than relying solely on Skill Books. Seeking the Wine Sword Immortal, he reached Mount Shu, studied the Innate Skill and Cloud-Piercing Palm, and eventually gained access to the True Qi-Controlling Formula and higher cultivation methods 62 63.
During the Legend of Wulin dungeon, Li Wei guided inexperienced Reincarnators Liu Piaopiao, Zheng Chenglong, and Blood Wolf. He secured a position in the Heavenly Sword Sect, copied most of Xu Ziyi's Wulin Encyclopedia, and used his familiarity with the world to pursue martial arts, plot characters, and Heavenly Books 95 98 99 101.
After surviving further conflicts and cultivating in the Demon Suppression Pagoda, Li Wei fused several martial and immortal arts into the Heaven-Defying Profound Sword, formed a true essence core, and became a genuine cultivator under the guidance of the Green-Robed Sword Immortal 182 183 184.
Li Wei was later reborn into the Heavenly Fox Clan after detonating the True Essence Pill. Though the process temporarily reduced his attributes and combat power, it gave him the Heavenly Fox Clan's Awakening ability and tremendous Spirit-based potential 202.
Personality
Li Wei is analytical, resourceful, and highly adaptive. He studies mission rules, enemy data, item values, and plot deviations before committing to a plan; his Eye of Perception reinforces this information-driven approach 4 14 21 41.
He is also ambitious and willing to gamble on dangerous opportunities. He burned down the Mountain God Temple to change his Initial Trial, accepted Mordel's A-rank mission, and repeatedly pursued Sand after his first assassination attempt failed 3 23 29.
Despite his pragmatism, Li Wei protects people he considers allies. He cared for Aunt Li, rescued Zhao Ling'er, armed inexperienced newcomers during the Zombie Tide mission, and prioritized obtaining intelligence that could improve their odds of survival 8 10 41. He also guided Liu Piaopiao, Zheng Chenglong, and Blood Wolf through the Black Wind Stronghold mission, recognizing that inexperienced Reincarnators needed direction to survive 95 97.
However, he can be ruthless toward enemies: he assassinated Guo Jian and became increasingly violent after losing his left arm 37 50. This ruthlessness later intensified when he killed Wang Ziqiang and Meng Long, then forcibly seized the spiritual energy of martial artists who had cultivated the Qi Transformation Manual to accelerate his own cultivation 563.
Li Wei is capable of considerable deception when it serves his plans. He flattered Ximen Feng to gain entry to the Heavenly Sword Sect, tricked Xu Ziyi into leaving behind the Wulin Encyclopedia, forged martial manuals to manipulate Yu Canghai and the plot surrounding the Evil-Resisting Sword Manual, and used Yang Guo's condition to persuade Xiaolongnü to leave seclusion 98 99 254 270.

- Li Wei obtained the Upper Volume, which contains the Qi Transformation Manual, Great Strength Divine Demon Art, Spirit Seizing Art, and Yin Seizing Art 553 556 560.
