Yuan Yao and Yan Li
Yuan Yao and Yan Li came up together in a small cultivation sect where neither exactly had standout talent. Their sect's techniques were pretty basic, nothing special—so when they hit a wall in their progress, they decided to leave and try their luck elsewhere.
The plan was straightforward: find an unmarried male cultivator with serious cultivation chops and become his Dao companion. It's a practical move in their world, the kind of thing cultivators have done for ages. Whether it was ambition, necessity, or both driving them, the two set out looking for someone powerful enough to help them break through.
