The sad story of Qi Xui.

QI Xui was born as the last daughter of the QI Clan Leader, in Fox's Burrows.
She was never a particularly strong person, neither mentally nor physically. She wasn't brave nor very smart or a good student, overall, a weak personality, a mediocre girl without big ambitions.
She was a good person, though, just someone who'd rather live a safe and peaceful life, than hunt monsters.

She attended a few lectures in other clans together with her siblings, including one in the Zimkesha Sect.
Life proceeded with high and lows, but overall well for her, until the year her Sect and Clan turned to the bad side. As her father, her family, started to do evil things, she didn't approve of them but she didn't oppose either. She didn't stand against them, she wws too scared to take position and even to leave her home. Where would she go, all alone? She wasn't the type other Sects would love to take in among theirs.

Things took a drastic turn a little over 1 year before the current date, when some good Sects attacked the YunQi, after their treason.
In that occasion, Xui didn't even try to fight, she hid and just hoped nobody would find her, but at the end of the battle she was of course found by the adepts of the Juku Sect.
At first there were debates among the sects that participated to the attack regarding what to do with her. Needless to say that many would have just killed her, but thanks to the intervention of the Ashiiha Sect.

In the end, she was spared but taken prisoner by the Juku Sect and they didn't go easy on her at all.
Regardless she was only 13 at the time, and didn't actually do anything bad herself, they had no mercy and tormented her for over an year, until the Ashiiha sect managed to convince them to hand her over to them.
She lived some peaceful months with them, but the scars left didn't manage to heal. She considered taking her life many times and even had some failed attempts before.

Her short time of peace ended when the sect of Ashiiha had to join the other smaller sects in the Eternal Abyss for safety, as the remnants of Juku Sects were there two, including some of the guys who abused her during her captivity in their sect.
She tried to avoid them, as much as she tried to avoid WuNing, whom she knows was cursed and betrayed by her older sister Cai, but the Juku guys didn't miss the chance to mock and bully her.
That unbearable situation pushed all her suicidal thoughts back to her. The only thing that made her a bit hesitant was that with herself gone, her whole sect would be too, lost forever.

That's where she got the idea of the Sacrifice Curse, that she studied during the lectures in Zimkesha Sect. If she can get the soul of an ancestor to replace hers, she will be able to rest peacefully in the afterlife, without a big regret.
As all eastern are fond of their ancestors, she had to study her family tree and there she came across the name of Qi XuanYu, known as one of the most prideful and worthy clan leaders the QI ever had, plus a cultivator of excellent skills. Someone like him would surely know how to save the, pretty much dead, sect and bring it to new life, plus, what would save those people.who hurt her from him?

She didn't hesitate the slightest. She just had to try the ritual a few times before making it successful.
In the hurry to leave the world of the living, Xui failed to tell XuanYu about the people she wanted to take revenge over, but the curse left the marks for it nonetheless.
