Biography

Guiding Zhang Xuan through Tianxuan's elite circles

She initially warns him to respect Lu Chen's decorum, then watches him solve artistic and cultivation problems that exceed her expectations. Huang Yu later recognizes that the famous painter and teacher appearing under different circumstances is the same Zhang Xuan, helping connect his identities and achievements. (Chapters 47–80, 157–207, 295–301)

Appearance and personality

She is intelligent, forthright, socially informed, and frequently exasperated by Zhang Xuan's disregard for expected procedure. (Chapters 47–80, 157–207, 295–301)

Abilities and cultivation

Her painting knowledge and apprenticeship give her a reliable eye for high-level art. She can recognize a fifth-level work but cannot reproduce Zhang Xuan's unusual breadth. (Chapters 47–80, 157–207, 295–301)

Relationships

Lu Chen is her respected elder and Bai Xun her frequent companion. Zhang Xuan becomes the outsider she guides and then repeatedly reassesses. (Chapters 47–80, 157–207, 295–301)
