Background / History

Meeting Lu Shang

Wen Siyue is the daughter of Wen Qiang, who served the Six-Link Hall for years. When Lu Shang first finds her, she is plainly dressed and trying to earn spirit stones by recording Tianxing City’s layout for maps. He has specifically come looking for his old acquaintance’s daughter, although he does not know her appearance or aura beforehand 48 49.

Their first meeting occurs aboard a ship approaching Tianxing City. Lu Shang accidentally startles her while examining her notes and catches her before she falls over the railing. After he explains why merchants and cultivators are unlikely to buy her maps, she quickly offers her services as a guide instead 48.

During a demon-beast attack on the ship, Lu Shang protects and reassures her. Once they reach the city, she guides him to a cave-abode broker. He then gives her purchasing errands, spirit stones, and access to his residence, using the work as a way to provide support without forcing her to accept charity 49 50.

Life in the Miaoyin Sect

During Lu Shang’s absence, Wen Siyue joins the Miaoyin Sect and reaches early Foundation Establishment. Zi Ling treats her well and provides cultivation resources. Wen Siyue also continues delivering purchased materials to Lu Shang’s cave abode, furnishing and cleaning it while he is away 52 53.

After their reunion, she visits Lu Shang frequently, and her affection becomes increasingly apparent. Madam Fan’s arrival visibly frightens her, prompting Lu Shang to calm her with spiritual power and question why Miaoyin Sect cultivators have been following her 55.

Wen Siyue helps persuade Lu Shang to stay near Zi Ling’s residence so that she can ask him cultivation questions. Concerned about falling behind both of them, she accepts his offer of personal guidance and cultivates in his specially prepared cave abode 56 61.

Outer Sea Travels and Capture

While Lu Shang is in Void Sky Hall, Wen Siyue leaves Tianxing City alone and ventures into the Outer Sea. Hanqing, secretly stationed nearby to protect her, brings her to Lu Shang. Unaware that Hanqing is Lu Shang’s clone, she initially fears that she has been abducted for use as a cultivation furnace; she later understands his protective role 79 80.

After reaching False Core, she stabilizes her cultivation while Lu Shang remains secluded. Bored with waiting, she ventures out and helps three cultivators search for medicinal herbs, leading to her capture. Lu Shang rescues her after confronting Feng Xi, and she pleads for the other imprisoned cultivators to be released 86 87 88.

Lu Shang subsequently sets out with her for his homeland, the Heavenly South. Their journey is interrupted by the appearance of the Netherworld Land. With her spiritual power unavailable and no martial techniques to rely on, Wen Siyue shelters behind Zi Ling until Lu Shang reaches them. He later carries Wen Siyue, Zi Ling, and Mei Ning across the realm and leads them out 90 92 93 94.

Falling Cloud Sect

On arriving in the Heavenly South, Wen Siyue is curious about its unfamiliar customs but cannot understand the local language. Lu Shang arranges for her to join the Falling Cloud Sect, instructing Mu Peiling to admit her without testing her False Core cultivation. Before leaving on a lengthy task, he tells her to cultivate diligently and enter the Cloud Dream Three Sects competition for practical experience 95 98.

At the competition, she reports an undefeated record. Lu Shang discovers that she has been using an ancient sword treasure against Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment opponents, seals the weapon, and orders her to rely on magical artifacts and talismans instead. He also tells her to form her core after the competition 100.

She successfully reaches Core Formation and continues secluded work on her life-bound magical treasure. During Lu Shang’s seclusion, she becomes close to Mu Peiling and helps overturn Mu Peiling’s forced marriage agreement by invoking Lu Shang’s authority to pressure Elder Feng 102.

Wen Siyue later accompanies Lü Luo to the front lines, saying that she needs experience. Lu Shang reacts with alarm when he learns of her departure, but Lü Luo confirms that she is safe. Lu Shang leaves her a jade token before attending the Nascent Soul cultivators’ meeting 111 112.

Appearance

• At her first appearance: A young girl in plain clothing, with rosy cheeks and large, bright eyes 48.
• After joining the Miaoyin Sect: Wears thin, semitransparent purple robes that identify her sect affiliation 52.
• Youthful appearance: At their reunion, Lu Shang describes her as resembling an eighteen-year-old girl despite the decades that have passed 52.

Personality

Wen Siyue combines initial timidity with a cheerful, proud manner. She worries about offending Lu Shang during their first meeting, but quickly regains confidence when discussing her knowledge of Tianxing City. She is reluctant to accept expensive gifts or excessive payment, insisting that her guiding rates are fair 48 49 50.

Her affection for Lu Shang appears through repeated visits, bashfulness, and concern for his health. She mistakes his embarrassed coughing for an injury and later immediately notices when he is genuinely hurt. Her reaction to his longstanding connection with Zi Ling suggests jealousy, although she also sincerely wants to help both of them 53 55 56 85.

She struggles with prolonged seclusion and initially sees little need to fight while Lu Shang is beside her. Nevertheless, she later chooses to visit the front lines to gain experience. Her willingness to help herb gatherers, plead for captives, and support Mu Peiling against a forced marriage shows a readiness to intervene for others 62 88 98 102 111.
