Wei Yingying

Biodata

Background / History

Wei Yingying and Wei Fan were left orphaned when their parents—both Wushan Village Night Watchers—died fighting an Oddity. The siblings were subsequently forced out of the village's inner ring, though their parents left them an inheritance that supported them in the outer ring. 2 4

When the White Ghost Soul, Bai You, lingered outside their hut, Yingying woke in fear and sought safety beside Wei Fan. His reassurance immediately calmed her, establishing the deep trust between them. 2

After Wei Fan joined the Night Watch, the siblings moved into a blue-brick residence in Wushan Village's inner ring. Yingying packed their belongings, helped establish the new home, and benefited from their improved food and living conditions. 13 14 18

During the Luoyuan merchant caravan's visit, Wei Fan brought Yingying to the market to buy her clothes. He designed three custom Hanfu outfits specifically for her, later receiving the finished garments. 33 34 39

As conflict with the Zhu Family and the Calamity of Strangeness escalated, Wei Fan repeatedly prioritized Yingying's safety. He assigned Little Shadow to guard her, then moved her to the Eastern District outpost and gave her a Little Flame Talisman. 41 45 47

Personality

She is diligent and considerate in domestic matters, regularly preparing meals, packing for their move, and cleaning their new home. 3 9 13 14 At the market, she is modest and reserved, preferring to trust Wei Fan's judgment when choosing clothes. 33 34

Yingying also shows curiosity and determination. After witnessing Wei Fan's strength, she repeatedly asks him to teach her how to become stronger rather than accepting that she lacks his innate power. 14 She is fond of small, fluffy creatures and readily takes Little Shadow into her hands despite not realizing it is a Blood Ghost-class Monstrosity. 45

• Unnamed parents — Both were Night Watchers who died fighting an Oddity, leaving Wei Yingying and Wei Fan behind. 2
• Little Shadow — A sparrow-sized Blood Ghost-class Monstrosity under Wei Fan's control, assigned to protect Yingying; it allows her to pet and hold it. 41 45

Story Role / Major Arcs

White Ghost Soul Incidents

Yingying's fear of Bai You highlights the vulnerability of Wushan Village's outer-ring residents. The White Ghost Soul's presence outside the siblings' hut is a major reason Wei Fan pursues greater strength and Night Watch membership. 2 4

Move to the Inner Ring

Following Wei Fan's acceptance into the Night Watch, Yingying moves with him into the inner ring. She supports the transition by packing their possessions and helping clean their new residence. 13 14

Luoyuan Caravan and Hanfu

Yingying accompanies Wei Fan through the Luoyuan merchant market, where her interest in the caravan members' clothing inspires him to commission custom Hanfu for her. The finished garments attract widespread attention and provoke Zhu Linyi's attempt to seize them. 33 34 37 39

Calamity of Strangeness

As Wushan Village faces a mass Monstrosity assault, Yingying is first placed under Little Shadow's protection and then relocated to the Eastern District outpost. While hiding in its watchtower, she is defended by Xiao Ying against an approaching Monstrosity. 45 47 49
