Background Story

Yao

The stars light up the universe, and I'm one of them.

As a young admirer of Li Bai, Yao has always been filled with passion and ambition. He seeks the carefree life of a wandering swordsman that his idol practices to perfection. This aspiration prompted Yao to join Jixia Academy and found the Team of Stars, which would let him take part in Zhuangzi's Dream Trial. During this endeavor, he made new friends, gained strength, and learned much about himself. Although his team won the competition, this was just the beginning of Yao's journey...
