Background / History
Hexi is Kaisha's longtime friend and confidante in Merlot Heavenly Court. When Kaisha sends her information on Su Luo and Akashi, Hexi urgently questions whether the two outsiders could be Void creatures, potentially connected to Karl's Void research. She accepts Kaisha's precaution of having Yan observe them and conceal their Dark Plane information. 8
Kaisha's Gene Matching test records an 86.3% compatibility result between Hexi and Su Luo. Hexi treats Kaisha's attempt to use this result as matchmaking material with sarcasm, even joking that Kaisha herself, her subordinates, and Merlot Heavenly Court could serve as dowry. 8
As Kaisha considers the decline of the Angel Civilization's Justice Order, Hexi becomes a central figure in the succession discussion. Kaisha considers Hexi uniquely suited to stabilize the Angel Civilization because of her prestige and her willingness to use harsh measures when necessary. 25
Hexi refuses Kaisha's attempts to push her into approaching Su Luo romantically, saying that she has outgrown youthful illusions. She nevertheless accepts responsibility for selecting an Angel to contact him, then chooses her youngest disciple, Zhixin. 26 27

Despite her teasing, Hexi takes the Angel Civilization's future seriously. She understands that the Justice Order cannot endure forever and presses Kaisha for clear answers about succession, the consequences of change, and the treatment of Angel warriors after a transition. 23 24 25
She values genuine affection over genetic compatibility or political convenience. When Kaisha asks her to sincerely love Su Luo if she accepts the proposal, Hexi refuses to be coerced into romance and challenges Kaisha to prove that she still possesses the same youthful sincerity she demands of others. 26
