Background

Qin Xuexin is the Qin Family's most exceptional prodigy in a century and was known as Capital Province's number-one genius before the national Martial Exam. She had guaranteed admission to seventeen universities, yet chose Battlepeak University to uncover the Qin Family's concealed “truth” and avoid a life of regret. 76 122

She is the daughter of Gun Saint Qin Chengyan and Zhou Nianwei, granddaughter of Qin Zhuyong and Li Xinlian, and younger sister of Qin Lixiu. Her family concealed much of its history and strength from her while attempting to protect her from its generational mission. 203 204 406 407

Qin Xuexin entered the national Martial Exam as Su Yuan's foremost rival. She ultimately placed second nationwide, a result that brought harsh criticism from parts of the Qin Family despite her performance. Rather than break under that pressure, she resolved to become strong enough to silence every detractor herself. 125 141

She is also compassionate and protective. Qin Xuexin shields Su Yuan and his friends from her relatives, worries over Su Yuan's injuries, and remains patient with Qin Lixiu even when he initially rejects her. 163 217 292
