Chen Xiaojun looked at Xiao Yi's clear eyes, his brows tightly furrowed, and murmured, "No, no, no. There must be something strange going on here. I must have overlooked something."
Recalling Xiao Yi's origins, a thought stirred in his mind. Xiao Yi came from the system, modeled directly after Lesser Siming in Xuanji Animation's Qin Shi Ming Yue.

Chen Xiaojun probed further. And Lesser Siming's portrayal in Qin Shi Ming Yue came directly from the literary descriptions in the Nine Songs of Chu Ci, without any alterations.
Then he sank into thought again. So is Lesser Siming actually Xiao Yi? Besides, from her first appearance in the animation until the story stopped updating, she never spoke a single word.
He recalled the origins of the Nine Songs. The Nine Songs were songs the people of the ancient Chu State used to worship deities. There were eleven pieces in total, praising nine deities.
Apart from Donghuang Taiyi, the other eight were paired against one another, with Great Siming opposite Lesser Siming.
A spark of insight flashed in his eyes. In the animation, spirit robes and jade pendants, one yin and one yang, orchids growing beneath the hall, autumn orchids flourishing-didn't all these elements echo the verses describing Great Siming and Lesser Siming in the Nine Songs?
Great Siming's "My spirit robes billow, my jade pendants gleam; one yin and one yang, none know what I do," and Lesser Siming's "Autumn orchids and sweet herbs grow in profusion beneath the hall"-these verses not only mirror one another, but also seem to hint at countless threads connecting Lesser Siming to Xiao Ling's younger sister, Xiao Yi.
He took his conjecture further. *Considering the significance of deity worship in the Nine Songs, this seems to suggest that Lesser Siming is actually Xiao
