Background / History

Lin Qingyi served as deputy tower master of Myriad Splendor Tower's Luoshui County branch. After Shen Congyun was transferred away, she became the branch's sole acting manager. She oversaw the gifts Shen Congyun had arranged for Jiang Ning and recognized his unusually rapid cultivation progress early on. 91 137 156

Though publicly a Myriad Splendor Tower official, her identity was far more complicated. Lin Qingyi possesses an exceptional immortal-path physique, which drew the attention of the Side-by-Side King. He arranged for her to become Prince Qi's consort, ostensibly to ward off misfortune; Prince Qi himself had long lost awareness, while the old prince retained control over her circumstances. 648 766

After Xiao Qiushui attacked Jiang Ning, Lin Qingyi fought to protect him and was injured by the Celestial Grandmaster's sword intent. Concerned that being seen in the conflict would bring Jiang Ning further danger, she later left Dongling City. 428 429 431

Lin Qingyi eventually entered the royal capital in secret rather than returning openly to Prince Qi's Residence. There, the old prince's servant questioned the muddling of her aura and attempted to summon her back on his master's behalf. 760 766

Appearance

Lin Qingyi is a tall, exceptionally beautiful woman whose bearing is repeatedly compared to that of a celestial maiden. She commonly wears green, azure, or blue robes; in the royal capital, she conceals her identity beneath a hooded cloak and white gauze veil. 91 257 760

• Fair, clear skin described as having the warmth of jade and the crystalline quality of ice and snow. 91 760
• Long black hair, often worn loose or secured with a jade hairpin. 91 414
• Clear, cold eyes and a detached, aloof temperament. 760
• Her appearance remains remarkably youthful; Jiang Ning estimates her apparent age at roughly twenty-seven or twenty-eight despite her high cultivation. 228
• She can dress lightly even in severe winter weather, showing no discomfort from the cold. 255 320

Personality

Lin Qingyi is playful and teasing in private, especially with Jiang Ning. She habitually calls him “little brother,” mocks his seriousness, and repeatedly tries to arrange advantageous matches for him. 91 228 260

Behind this relaxed manner, she is perceptive and ambitious. She immediately recognized Jiang Ning's potential, regarded him as someone who could surpass the Lin Clan's ancestor, and considered introducing him to her niece despite Lin Jia'er's objections. 127 138 156

She is also protective and resolute. Lin Qingyi intervened against a Yellow Heaven Cult Yin Spirit before Jiang Ning understood the danger, later stood against Xiao Qiushui to shield him, and ultimately chose to gamble on Jiang Ning's promise to oppose the Side-by-Side King. 202 428 769
