Qianyu

She is a black lotus from the depths of the Ninefold Abyss. When she took human form, she gained the Divine Art of a Thousand Faces, allowing her to assume countless appearances and experience every kind of life.

She first bloomed in the Demon Realm, making a thousand-year pact with Li Chenfeng, the young lord of the demons. In the mortal world, she became a storyteller and won an emperor's heart, a celebrated courtesan who made a sword cultivator break his vows, and a female general who fought shoulder to shoulder with other women. Wearing a thousand faces, she roamed the four seas and eight wildernesses. Every encounter left an indelible mark, and every man was willing to fall from immortality into demonhood and give everything for her.

But she was destined to spend her life with no one.

When the eighty-one tribulations of lightning fell, four men took them all for her. Yet she chose to disperse her cultivation and return her soul to the Ninefold Abyss.

A thousand years later, the lotus bloomed again, reborn. She married no one, but opened a tavern called “Waiting for the Wind” in every corner of the four seas and eight wildernesses. There was one in the Demon Realm, and he was there; one in the Demon Beast Realm, and he was there; one in the Immortal Realm, and he was there; one in the mortal world, and he was there too...

This life is long, and I'm fortunate to have you all by my side through it.

The thousand faces returned to their source, and all that deep affection became a single greeting at their reunion: “The wine's just warmed. Come in and sit.”
