Background

Li Hanyi is the school belle and Cao Xiaochun's deskmate of two years. Before their class awakening, they scarcely spoke due to her reserved, icy manner. Her awakening changes her standing immediately: she receives the rare Demon Enslaver class and is visibly satisfied with the result. 2

As a member of the Li Family, she receives extensive support for her development. Her family purchases two Succubi for her contracts at great expense and sends five Bronze-rank guards with her into the Dark Forest. Li Hanyi dislikes being treated as someone who merely needs protection and wants to earn her own combat experience. 7

Her first dungeon expedition nearly ends in disaster when the Binuoxiu sisters overwhelm her team with magical and mental attacks. Though severely weakened, she refuses to accept Uncle Li and another guard sacrificing themselves for her escape. Cao Xiaochun intervenes, defeats the monsters, and saves the survivors, fundamentally changing her view of her supposedly weak Gu Master deskmate. 9 10

Appearance

Li Hanyi is a tall, long-legged young woman known throughout her school for her striking appearance and cold beauty. Her usual detached bearing contrasts sharply with the demonic equipment and summons she employs in battle. 2 40

• Described as having an icy temperament and an aloof, cool presence. 2
• Often wears plain clothes outside combat. 40
• Uses glasses while investigating the strange dungeon. 48
• Her combat attire includes a black ritual robe and an enormous black scythe with a crimson blade and red eye. 34 40

Personality

Li Hanyi is initially quiet, guarded, and difficult to approach. She is uncomfortable expressing gratitude directly, but sincerely thanks Cao Xiaochun for saving her guards and delivers five million Nine Provinces currency from her father as compensation. 15

Despite her cold exterior, she is compassionate toward people under her care. She is horrified by her guards' willingness to sacrifice themselves for her and prioritizes their treatment after the Dark Forest battle. 9 10 She also initially struggles with using helpless Biao cubs as material for her innate talent, though she ultimately accepts the necessity of becoming stronger. 22 23

Over time, Li Hanyi becomes markedly more pragmatic. She supports pursuing the Dragon Nest rather than risking the group for strangers, places Cao Xiaochun in command when danger escalates, and adopts his principle of treating combat as a matter of survival rather than fairness. 26 40 This culminates in her poisoning and defeating a Silver-rank examiner during the entrance examination. 40 41

• Zhou Yuanlong — Childhood acquaintance whose attempts to team with her and displace Cao Xiaochun are met with cold rejection. 17
• Hong Jianjun — Examination teammate. He pressures her to use the Biao cubs for demonic fusion, while she later fights alongside him in the Snow Mountain and Dragon Nest expeditions. 22 27
• Xu Laoba — Companion from the Snow Mountain expedition onward. She gives him her spatial ring after receiving her demon-lord equipment. 27 35
