Chen Qiaoqian: The senior sister who waited for Han Li all her life
Chen Qiaoqian is Han Li's senior sister at Yellow Maple Valley. After everything they went through she fell in love with him and told him so — and was refused by a man who had his eye only on the Great Dao. She never married and never took another; she died with her cultivation unfinished. She is the quietest, heaviest cost of the road Han Li chose.
