Xin Ruyin is a talented but terminally ill array formation master. She suffers from the ‘Dragon Chant Constitution’, a condition where a male soul is born in a female body, causing her meridians to wither if she cultivates. Her husband, Qi Xiaoyao, was killed by the Fu family. After his death, she voluntarily entered his family as a widow to honor him. She has repaired the ancient teleportation array for Han Li and entrusted him with her and her husband’s life’s work (forging notes and array research), extracting a promise from him to destroy the Fu family if he ever reaches Core Formation. She has only one to two years left to live.
