Background and History

Ya Fei served as a steward at the Mittel Grand Auction House when Jia He first arrived seeking exceptionally hard iron for a sword. She received him professionally, personally retrieved Heavenly Meteoric Iron from the family treasury, and remembered a heavier stone-like object after the iron failed his test. She later gave Jia He a discount on his purchases and invited him to return whenever he needed Mite'er resources. 7 8

Her initial dealings with Jia He were complicated by Mu Zhan of the Mu Clan, whose unwanted pursuit she openly rejected. When Mu Zhan attempted to force her to accompany him, Jia He intervened and ordered his guards to prevent further harassment. 9

While gaining experience in the Yellow- and Mystic-tier auction houses, Ya Fei became the Mystic tier's chief auctioneer. Her original ambition was to become a Heaven-tier chief auctioneer, but Jia He challenged her to seek the Mite'er Family leadership rather than accept a limited role based solely on business talent. 10 24

After considering Jia He's offer to improve her talent and strength, Ya Fei chose to rely on him. He gave her the first half of the Qi Scripture, after which she withdrew from routine auction-house work to cultivate intensely and rose from Dou Zhe to Da Dou Shi in a year. 25 28 29 34

Appearance

Ya Fei is repeatedly described as an alluring, poised woman whose clothing emphasizes both her status as an auction-house representative and her confident presence.

• Often wears a fitted red or pale-red qipao with white high-heeled sandals. 7 16
• Has a graceful, mature bearing and a distinctive seductive gaze. 7 116
• Wore fitted black clothing for mobility while accompanying Jia He to the poisoned border city. 34
• Later appears in pale-green cheongsam attire while managing Imperial Prison business. 112

Personality

Ya Fei is polished, observant, and highly capable in commercial settings. She reads social situations quickly, recognized Yaoyue's jealousy at the alchemists' banquet without escalating it, and knew when to seek Jia He's judgment on unusually valuable auction items. 16 142

She is ambitious rather than content with a decorative position. She actively pursued promotion through the auctioneer ranks, later accepted responsibility for expanding the Mite'er Family's influence, and sought to become the family head. 24 80

Although she values strength after experiencing Mu Zhan's harassment, she does not abandon her business instincts. She cultivates to secure her own future while treating auction houses, pharmacies, supply routes, and intelligence gathering as interconnected sources of influence. 16 34 80 142
