Former Secretary-General of the Central Secretariat in the capital, Changli now serves as Counselor to the Jinzhou Magistrate.
Born amidst flames, she dedicates herself as a strategist. Driven by unwavering ambition, she positions herself in a race against time, calculating every move she makes.
Changli seems to leave varying impressions on people who have met her. Some describe her as approachable and attentive in her interactions. In Changli's company, they feel comfortable being themselves while receiving respectful care from her. Others paint a starkly different picture, one where her gentle eyes seem to pierce through facades, sending shivers down their spines, as if their innermost secrets are laid bare under her gaze. It seems that no one can truly fathom what lies beneath that smile. Elusiveness defines both her personality and her approach to Weiqi - a web of strategy that lures the prey with its disjointed moves, poised to deliver the final blow. In this way, Changli resolves every crisis before any traces surface, ensuring that perpetrators meet their well-deserved ends. "I don't deny other straightforward solutions. But this is the most intriguing, isn't it?"
Changli's body temperature runs slightly higher than that of ordinary people due to her bearing of flames. In her childhood, her inability to control her power caused many troubles. Even though she has now mastered the art of flame manipulation, she maintains the habit of keeping a distance from others, particularly during sweltering summer heat. Yet the heat she generates has some unexpected uses. During one of her trips near Violet Banyan, Changli was stopped by a fierce battle between Tacet Discords - a broken tree and an adult bird abandoning its overturned nest, leaving only remnants on the ground. Amidst the shattered shells and branches, she discovered a lone bird egg, still warm and intact. Changli picked it up and gently cradled it in her hands. "Counselor Changli, you're back... What do you have here?" Jinhsi, curious about what her counselor was hiding, gazed at Changli's softly cupped hands from which a faint, crisp sound emerged. To her surprise, it was a newly hatched chick, trembling with its fragile wings and struggling to peck at the shell above its head. "Well... this little one has got mettle."
Changli holds promises in high regard. Even those made half-jokingly in casual conversations call upon all her resolve to remember and honor. Master Xuanmiao once taught her that a strategist must remain composed, untroubled by emotions. Those who genuinely care for the people hold their love in their hearts and express it through their actions, regardless of the form it may take. Even in times of misunderstanding, they stand steadfast. The key is to maintain a righteous heart and work towards both the present and future they aim for. Later, every promise Changli made during her solitary journeys was fulfilled once she assumed the role of Secretary-General. Returning from the capital to Jinzhou to honor her most important promise, Changli was struck with a deep sense of satisfaction as she saw prosperity and joy in every household along the way. Once, she had promised to seek out a significant figure, who now, by Jué's prophecy, has arrived in Jinzhou exactly as she had envisioned. She will pursue this figure and fulfill her promise. The once daunting path now appears far less formidable.
To fight the year-round coldness brought by Mt. Firmament's snow, the residents of Hongzhen have a fondness for spicy dishes. Newcomers are always eager to try the renowned local specialty - Spicy Meat with Pavo Plums, and even the Jinzhou Counselor is no exception. As oil sizzles in the wok, ingredients dance with the spatula, filling the air with a tantalizing aroma. Dish after dish is swiftly served, and diners hasten to reach for their chopsticks. Each bite sets their senses on fire, yet the spice only spurs them on. Seeing such efforts, the locals burst into laughter and offer cooling drinks to temper the heat. However, Changli remains calm. As she savors each bite, a hint of satisfaction gleams in her eyes. These fiery dishes seem perfectly suited to her appetite. "This spiciness surpasses even Panhua Restaurant's signature dishes... It's impressive how she finishes them without breaking a sweat." This piques the chef's curiosity: How does the taste of the dish compare to those beyond Mt. Firmament? Just as the conversation unfolds, snow drifts down from the sky, melting instantly amidst laughter and toasts at the table. The esteemed guest accompanying her also looks on intently, curious about her answer. "...It has a warmer flavor." She looks back and replied with a smile.
Changli always wears a gentle smile, with a gaze calm and elusive.
Her scarlet hair, styled in tails that mimic the feather of the legendary spirit bird, sways gently behind her, giving her an air of effortless grace.
When Changli channels her Forte, a flame of "True Sight" ignites between her eyebrows, and her outer robe turns into a blaze.
