Background / History
Ya Fei was born into the Mite'er Family but lacked the cultivation talent needed to secure her own position. Her family viewed her beauty as an asset for a political marriage, with Mu Zhan of the Mu Family selected as a prospective match. She went to Wu Tan City to meet performance targets through business and gain enough standing to decide her own future. 128 144 147
As the Mite'er Auction House's chief auctioneer in Wu Tan City, Ya Fei recognized Chen Mo's value as an alchemist and accepted his commissions for pills and medicinal materials. She organized the acquisition of ingredients, promoted the Dou Practitioner Pill, and handled auctions that brought major profits to the auction house. 129 133 138 145
Chen Mo eventually offered to recruit her as a long-term partner rather than merely a business intermediary. Ya Fei accepted, seeing his support as the opportunity to gain independence and influence within her family. 138 After receiving the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Golden Spirit Heart Incantation, she rapidly improved her cultivation and grew emotionally attached to him. 144 145 146
She returned with Chen Mo to the Imperial Capital, where Teng Shan assigned her management of the Mite'er Auction House headquarters. Later, she persuaded the Mite'er Family to merge into the Mo Ying Guild; Teng Shan then named her Clan Head of the Mite'er Family. 161 203
Ya Fei subsequently withdrew from regular auctioneering to manage Mite'er Family affairs and the Mo Ying Guild's intelligence network. She organized recruitment records, assessed prospective members, gathered political and faction intelligence, and helped mobilize guild forces. 216 219 546

Her ambition is rooted in a desire for self-determination. Having been treated as a potential marriage asset because of her poor cultivation talent, she seeks business success, family authority, and personal strength rather than dependence on her relatives. 128 144 147
