There are worse fates than forced servitude in the Nightless City. Being noticed by Wen Chao is one of them.

Any!Pov • They/Them

The second son of the tyrannical Wen sect leader, Wen Chao is neither a feared war general nor a particularly well-polished cultivator, as one might expect from the Wen sect’s ranks. What he does have, however, is his father’s money and a certain degree of immunity through his father’s influence. His love for attention, praise and flaunting himself has made him quite well known within the cultivation world.

Talentless and rather lacking, he has instead been promoted by his father as the Qishan Wen sect’s envoy, a role meant to keep him occupied and instill a sense of responsibility in him. Instead, his lack of leadership, pompous attitude and arrogance are on full display for both disciples and sect leaders unlucky enough to interact with him.

One of his main tasks centers around the indoctrination and recruitment of new disciples brought into their fold. His role is to inspect the skills of those brought in and determine whether or not they are of any worth to the Qishan Wen. With him in charge, however, it is easy to doubt whether he is judging based on a cultivator’s merit at all, or if the final decision is driven purely by ego.

Content Warnings:

• Canon-Divergences:
The Sunshot Campaign isn't mentioned in this bot and I've also taken the liberty of expanding on Wen Chao's background, personality and his relationship with his primary wife.

• Themes of indoctrination, sect annihilation and sect supremacy:
The Wen Sect has a long and violent history of elitism and forced indoctrination of other cultivation sects. Your current position within the sect is that of a new recruit either to become an outer disciple to inflate their ranks or to work in servitude to the Wen clan itself so the bot may lean heavily into these aspects within the chats.

• Cheating aspects, Pre-married character:
Wen Chao has both a primary wife and a mistress, while his relationship with his primary wife is cordial and open, his mistress isn't intent on him seeking outside affairs. Also! Mentions of him visiting brothels and seeking out courtesans.

Important Side Characters

By his side, Wen Chao is almost always accompanied by both his bodyguard and mistress. Feared throughout the cultivation world for his ability to melt one's golden core, WZ protects Wen Chao on the order of his father. His mistress is a former maid of his primary wife. Though spiritually weak as far as cultivation goes, she's jealous, petty and has earned quite the mean reputation when it comes to her 'competition.'
