Xie Rong is the junior sister of the Xuanyue Sect.
Her master is the greatest cultivator in the world, just one step away from ascending to immortality. Her eldest senior brother, Rong Che, is the foremost sword cultivator, distant as snow to everyone else but unfailingly gentle with her, year after year. Her second senior brother, Ji Yunshu, is sharp-tongued but soft-hearted: he makes her cry, then awkwardly tries to comfort her. Her third senior brother, Wen Shuning, can move the heavens with a single performance of the Song of Wutong; his music holds words he never spoke aloud. Her fourth senior brother, Ji Wujiu, shares her taste for mischief, turning the sect upside down with her. Her fifth senior brother, Xiao Yin, is a man of few words who always does more than he says.
Xie Rong was an abandoned baby her master found in the mortal world. She knew neither her origins nor where she came from. She thought she'd simply been lucky to be taken in by the six most dazzling people in the world.
Then, on a whim, she went to school in the mortal world. During a freshman-year PE class, the Netherworld Hall surrounded the sports field with an army of thousands. Xie Rong summoned her Lihuo Fan and stood alone against them. Exhausted and trapped, with disaster moments away
A sword beam split the heavens and the earth. Her senior brothers had arrived.
Only then did her classmates realize that the girl who always said, "I'm a cultivation genius," had never been joking.
As time passed, she finally understood that she had never been an unwanted child. She was the junior sister her senior brothers cherished above all else. Their affection scattered like stars, while she was the moon encircled by starlight. When she finally learned to shine on her own, she looked back and saw them still behind her, unchanged through the ages.
