Background and History

Hu Liena is Bibi Dong’s disciple and initially regards Jiang Chen—the Pope’s newly accepted disciple—as a rival. Determined to prove she is not inferior to him, she cultivates alone and meets him with open hostility during their first training session. Jiang Chen’s views on perseverance, caution, and strength nevertheless earn her admiration. 3

Her rivalry with Jiang Chen becomes mischievous when she alters the cover of one of his training books, causing him to receive material about postpartum sow care instead. Bibi Dong discovers the prank and orders Hu Liena to support her junior brother instead of causing trouble. Hu Liena later apologizes directly, but Jiang Chen uses her fear of Bibi Dong’s displeasure to gain leverage over her. 4 5 6

After Jiang Chen disappears for nearly three months, Hu Liena worries about him and is assigned to lead Wuhun Hall’s tournament team in his absence. 18

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rivalry with Jiang Chen

Golden Generation Challenge

When Jiang Chen is appointed tournament team leader, Hu Liena supports Yan and Xie Yue in challenging him. She leads their combined attack and successfully charms Jiang Chen, but his compelled kiss leaves her stunned and triggers Yan’s violent retaliation. 8 9

Tournament Leadership

With Jiang Chen missing, Hu Liena accepts responsibility for leading Wuhun Hall’s tournament team. Martial Soul Academy ultimately places second, in part because Yan remains too badly injured to compete; Hu Liena privately resents Jiang Chen’s role in that loss despite understanding the circumstances. 18 26

After he absorbs the Bloodthirsty Grass Soul Ring, she waits outside the Sin Domain for him, and their reunion becomes openly romantic.
