Background / History

Summoning and adoption

Cinderella was drawn by Lin Wan and randomly placed by the system as a golden-haired infant near the Star Dou Great Forest. Left alone in the wilderness for several days, she survived through her ability to communicate with animals: birds brought fruit juice, a doe provided milk, and squirrels kept her warm. After a sparrow warned her of an approaching carriage, she cried to attract help. 18 19

Tang Hao and the pregnant A Yin found her. A Yin immediately chose to adopt Cinderella, and Tang Hao agreed because of his devotion to A Yin. Cinderella quickly recognized A Yin as the center of the household and deliberately won her affection by smiling at her and playing with her Blue Silver Grass. 19

A Yin's death and life in Holy Soul Village

Cinderella was present when Martial Soul Hall ambushed Tang Hao and A Yin immediately after Tang San's birth. A Yin kissed both infants, enclosed them in a Blue Silver Grass cocoon, and sacrificed herself to empower Tang Hao. Cinderella witnessed the sacrifice and relied on the system's life-protection mechanism while Tang Hao escaped with the children. 20

Tang Hao's grief initially left him unable to notice that Cinderella and Tang San were hungry and cold. Cinderella's desperate crying eventually forced him to recognize his neglect. 24 25

After settling in Holy Soul Village, Tang Hao gradually withdrew into alcoholism and left the children largely self-sufficient. Cinderella used Tang San's need for affection and belonging to establish herself as his most important family member. Lin Wan later informed her of Tang San's future role as the protagonist, giving her further reason to cultivate his loyalty. 25 40

Martial soul awakening and academy enrollment

At age six, Cinderella awakened the Crystal Dance Shoes, a pair of crystal-clear shoes with tiny diamonds at their tips. Her awakening also revealed Innate Full Soul Power, prompting Su Yuntao to attempt to recruit her for Martial Soul Hall. She refused, knowing Tang Hao was secretly watching and might react violently. 41 42

She enrolled at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy as a self-funded student and was assigned to the Third Dormitory. She accepted Yu Xiaogang's guidance only insofar as it gave her and Tang San access to his theoretical knowledge, spirit-beast records, and book collection; she deliberately avoided becoming his formal disciple. 48 49

Appearance

Cinderella is portrayed as exceptionally beautiful from infancy onward, with golden hair, sapphire-blue eyes, fair skin, and an elegant bearing. At six, her golden hair reaches her waist, though she continues to wear simple village clothing. 19 40 46

• Golden or waist-length golden hair. 19 40
• Sapphire-blue eyes. 19 41
• Fair skin and refined features that make her stand out even in plain clothes. 46
• Her martial soul manifests as translucent Crystal Dance Shoes adorned with small diamonds. 41

Personality

Cinderella is resilient, observant, and highly pragmatic. Even as an infant, she assessed the people around her, used animals to gather information, and secured a safe home through calculated charm rather than passive dependence. 19

Her outward manner is sweet, innocent, and affectionate, but she uses that image strategically. She earns Tang San's devotion through praise and emotional reassurance, flatters Yu Xiaogang to access his knowledge, and carefully avoids open confrontation when manipulation is more useful. 40 48 49

Despite her opportunism, Cinderella is practical about survival and attentive to Tang San's wellbeing. During Tang Hao's flight after A Yin's death, she worried that the newborn Tang San would freeze or starve while their father remained consumed by grief. 24

Abilities & Skills

Crystal Dance Shoes

Cinderella's martial soul is a rare, elegant pair of Crystal Dance Shoes. Its exact classification and abilities remain unidentified, though Su Yuntao considers it high quality and Yu Xiaogang speculates that it may be a beneficial mutation. 41 48

• Awakened with Innate Full Soul Power. 41
• Appears as a pair of radiant, crystal-clear shoes with a diamond at each toe. 41
• Its actual nature is known by Cinderella to be a fairy-tale artifact martial soul rather than the mutation Yu Xiaogang assumes. 48

Animal Communication

As an abandoned infant, Cinderella could communicate with animals and use them as sources of food, warmth, and information. 19

• Received fruit juice from birds, milk from a doe, and warmth from squirrels. 19
• Learned of Tang Hao and A Yin's approaching carriage through a sparrow. 19

Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eyes

Tang San taught Cinderella the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eyes after she pretended to accept his explanation for obtaining their manuals. Her cultivation progress is nearly comparable to his. 40

• Practices the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eyes. 40
• Could not advance substantially beyond the first level of the Mysterious Heaven Skill before her martial soul awakening. 40
• Uses cultivation more as maintenance than Tang San's relentless daily training. 40

Social Manipulation

Cinderella excels at identifying emotional weaknesses and shaping others' behavior without exposing her real intentions. 19 40 48

• Made herself indispensable to Tang San by validating his secrets and rewarding his devotion. 40
• Uses praise and apparent innocence to exploit Yu Xiaogang's vanity and gain access to his knowledge. 48
• Defused Tang San's violent reactions through subtle gestures, including stopping him from attacking Yu Xiaogang with a Silent Sleeve Arrow. 48

Relationships

• Lin Wan — Her summoner and strategic overseer. He informed her that Tang San is the protagonist and intends to use her influence over Tang San to alter his future loyalties. 18 25
• Tang San — Adoptive younger brother. Cinderella deliberately becomes his primary emotional anchor; Tang San is fiercely protective of her, handles household work, and follows her guidance closely. 40 41 46 47
• A Yin — Adoptive mother. A Yin rescued and loved Cinderella, then gave her a final kiss and protected her within the Blue Silver Grass cocoon before sacrificing herself. 19 20
• Tang Hao — Adoptive father. He agreed to adopt Cinderella for A Yin's sake, but his grief and alcoholism made him emotionally absent; Cinderella privately views him as unreliable and incompetent. 19 24 45 46
• Old Jack — Village chief and sympathetic guardian who cares for both Cinderella and Tang San and works to secure their education. 40 45 46
• Su Yuntao — Martial Soul Hall deacon who attempted to recruit Cinderella after her awakening; she respectfully refused. 41 42
• Yu Xiaogang — Academy teacher whom Cinderella treats as a useful source of soul-master theory, spirit-ring knowledge, and rare books rather than a true master. 47 48 49
