The scars of the earth rushed in from the skyline, accurately striking a cluster of Victorian-style buildings; the structures collapsed radially around a single point, like a forest hit by a whirlwind. Amidst these imperial ruins, two figures were climbing over a fallen stone monument, attempting to find a high vantage point.

Early yearsChen's biological mother was Wei Yenwu's sister and a princess of Yan, Yan Jing; her biological father was a high-ranking noble of Yan. After her mother's original husband, Edward Artorius, was killed by Wei Yenwu under Koschei's coercion, Wei Yenwu forced her to marry Chen's biological father to protect his sister. Consequently, Chen faced a predicament in her childhood where she was unloved by both parents. After her mother's death, Chen was raised by Wei Yenwu and taught swordsmanship, becoming close with her maternal half-sister, Talulah. On the day Koschei was exiled, Chen witnessed him abducting Talulah. Later, Chen studied military affairs in Victoria with excellent grades. After graduation, she returned to Lungmen and joined the Lungmen Guard Department, eventually rising to the position of Special Inspection Unit Superintendent. During a mission, Chen was infected with Oripathy following a bomb attack, but this was kept secret. Chapter 2 "Separated Hearts" ~ Chapter 8 "Roaring Flare"In the Awakening and Disillusionment arcs of the main story, she cooperated with Rhodes Island to handle Reunion's attack on Lungmen. Initially, she was quite dismissive of Rhodes Island's combat capabilities and once used them as a sacrificial pawn to draw fire, but after she failed to protectMishaand the fall of the Lungmen Guard Department, she no longer doubted Rhodes Island. The main story of Chapter 5 reveals [her relationship] with Reunion'sTalulahwere once very closeChildhood friend。 In the final section of Chapter 6, from Chen andWei Yenwu's argument, it is revealed that Chen's full name is Chen Huijie. The plot infers that Talulah and Chen might not just be childhood friends but more likely maternal half-sisters. After the argument, Chen smashed through the window of the Governor's office building, broke through Hoshiguma's obstruction, severed a corner of "Hannya," and headed alone to the Chernobog Core to find Talulah. In Chapter 8, withAmiyadefeated Talulah together,and temporarily expelled the Deathless Black Snake residing within Talulah's bodyKoschei. After the Chernobog incident, she left Lungmen. Story Collection "Ancient Forge"Ch'en once and"Oni-nee"were rivals on the surface, and was"ordinary citizen"and"retired old man"commented on from afar for being too lenient with thugs. And that time seemed to be the first time Ch'en won a drinking contest against "Oni-nee" SideStory "Heart of Surging Flame"Ch'en made a brief appearance in Siesta, exhausted physically and mentally after being dragged to go clubbing for several days straight, fromShirayukireceived from her auntFumizukian invitation to Dossoles and headed there. SideStory "Dossoles Holiday"Upon arriving in Dossoles, Chen was warmly received by Mayor Candela, but unexpectedly bumped into Lin Yuxia, who was attending on behalf of the Rat King. Afterwards, the two were swept into participating in the Dossoles Warrior Championship, teaming up withErnestoto form the "Die Hard" team and incidentally participated in the investigation of saboteurs within Dossoles.During the swimming segment to board the yacht, Chen jumped into the water first, only to be overtaken by Lin Yuxia stepping on her head.On the yacht, Lin and Chen defeatedRafaelaand Ernesto, eventually defeating the mastermind of the coup,Pancho Salascaptured him and brought him to the shore, where they encountered others who had also come on vacation,HoshigumaandSwire. Afterward, Ch'en witnessed Rhodes Island's establishment of an office in Dossoles. Ch'en the Holungday/Operator Record/BelongingDuring her stay in Dossoles, Ch'en discussed topics about her hometown with a fellow drinker and complained about her biological father,and because her outstanding performance in the competition caused the drinker to lose a large sum of money,she bought the drinker a drink. Later, after seeing the laziness of the Dossoles police, Ch'en lamented her confusion to Hoshiguma. She then accepted Hoshiguma's suggestion to use bounties and rewards to get the police to start working, but her confusion only deepened. Episode 09 "Stormwatch" ~ Episode 14 "Absolution on the Burning Sky"During her activities in Victoria, Ch'en encountered an old classmate who, due toDublinn's attack, had been separated from her squadBagpipe. After learning that Talulah had been snatched from Rhodes Island, Ch'en expressed her understanding and later assisted Bagpipe in searching for Dublinn forces. During the Battle of Londinium, Ch'en had already infiltrated Londinium and reunited with Talulah and her former superior, Nine, while doing her best to help some Infected. Vignette "See You Tomorrow"After catching up with Reunion, Ch'en witnessed Reunion's actions in helping the Infected and Sarkaz in Londinium. Ch'en tried to stop Reunion's excessive actions against Victorian soldiers but was rebuffed by Nine. While they were arguing over Reunion's next direction, Talulah proposed a third option: returning to Ursus. Ch'en stated she would accompany them all the way to Ursus to witness their actions. SideStory "Where Vernal Winds Will Never Blow"During the Yumen incident, Ch'en briefly came to Yumen to support Lin Yuxia, Wei Yenwu, and others in their operations against the Shan-Hai-Zhong. SideStory "Such is the Joy of Our Reunion"Upon learning that Wei Yenwu was returning to Baizao to settle old scores, she intercepted him on the way and expressed her desire to go with him, to "see with my own eyes how this past that has haunted you for a lifetime will end." Integrated Strategies #6: "The Chronicles of Sui's Garden"
YiYi wanted to include Ch'en's Chi Xiao in his collection and repeatedly tried to steal it or persuade Ch'en to give it to him (following her from 1096 when Ch'en was still in the Lungmen Guard Department until 1102 when she headed to Baizao), to no avail. Thus, on Ch'en's way to Baizao, Yi appeared in person and sparred with Ch'en using a sword blank, ultimately being defeated by a Chi Xiao sword technique he had never seen before. Ch'en roughly guessed Yi's identity and ignored him to continue her journey. Yi's true purpose was to collect Ch'en's After the True Dragon was pressured by the Grand Marshal and agreed to slay Sui on the day of the full moon, three days prior, Ch'en listened to Wei Yenwu recount his past with the True Dragon and Yan's secrets regarding the Sui beast at the guesthouse, refusing Wei Yenwu's demand to return to Lungmen. While the uncle and niece discussed the abnormal war preparations in Yumen and Baizao, the Grand Tutor sought out Wei Yenwu, and Ch'en stayed to listen at the Grand Tutor's request. The Grand Tutor outlined Yan's current situation with five beasts at the gates and the True Dragon's plan to perish with the Sui beast using the original Originium "Non-Return," warning Wei Yenwu to take the True Dragon's place after the use of "Non-Return," while Ch'en found two unknown voices echoing in her mind. After Wei Yenwu refused to explain his and the Grand Tutor's schemes, Ch'en rebuked him for his disregard for his own safety and went out for air, where she was again criticized by the two voices and saw a phantom of a certain building. Once Ch'en regained her senses, the Shadow Guard informed her that Wei Yenwu had disappeared from the guesthouse and was suspected to have headed for the Capital, so Ch'en immediately set off for the Capital to find him. Two days before the full moon, Ch'en sneaked into the city and dispersed the Word-Changs in front of the Sui agent Jun, making him remember her. Afterward, Ch'en followed the direction where the Word-Changs appeared to the building in her vision—Tianjing Pavilion—and found that the Word-Changs disappeared at sunrise, while she was intercepted by a woman. This woman, claiming to be the Dianshui Official of Tianjing Pavilion, checked Ch'en's identification and became furious: she was Chen Zhaoqian, Ch'en's aunt and a remnant of the Chen family whose fortunes declined after Ch'en's father married Ch'en's mother. As Chen Zhaoqian raged, Word-Changs surged from Tianjing Pavilion. Ch'en picked up Chen Zhaoqian and burst into the pavilion, while Zuo Le and Mo Yi, carrying tokens obtained from Jieyuan, chased the Word-Changs into Tianjing Pavilion. In the chaos, Mo Yi dropped the token on the ground, and the four fell into a scuffle. Mo Yi took Chen Zhaoqian hostage, and the token fell into Ch'en's hands. While the four were at a stalemate,Last year's "Happy Together" setLiang Xun, who had been demoted by the Grand Tutor to a copyist at Tianjing Pavilion, stepped out to mediate the conflict, and Mo Yi released Chen Zhaoqian. Liang Xun led the four to exchange information. They realized the Word-Chang plague might be due to Jie's relic stored on the top floor of Tianjing Pavilion—a book-knife capable of editing history—and that the flickering appearance of the Word-Changs was related to the breathing of the soon-to-awaken Sui. Ch'en asked Liang Xun about the connection between Wei Yen-wu's disappearance and the Ministry of War's movements, and Liang Xun offered his speculation. While Zuo Le and Mo Yi followed Liang Xun's suggestion to the top floor to retrieve the book-knife, Ch'en learned from Chen Zhaoqian about the Chen family's decline after marrying Princess Yanjing and Chen Zhaoqian's past attempts to write a family history without success. The two lamented the impermanence of the world. At the You Hour on the day before the full moon, Ch'en, Zuo Le, Mo Yi, and Chen Zhaoqian finally arrived at the door of the room sealing the book-knife on the top floor. They speculated on the Grand Marshal's motive for seeking the book-knife. The topic shifted to Wei Yen-wu's arrival in the capital. Mo Yi revealed the existence of "No Return," the original Originium that requires the True Lung's life to activate. At this moment, Chun, the Director of the Department of Sui Affairs and Jie's Candle-bearer—who once received Jie's favor but was manipulated by Sui's nightmares into facilitating Jie's death—slowly walked out. Chun demanded the token from Jieyuan from Zuo Le, but Zuo Le refused. When Ch'en questioned Chun's purpose in collaborating with the Grand Marshal to obtain the book-knife, Mo Yi provided the answer: to use the book-knife to edit the history of "Yanwu killing the monarch, Yanli ascending the throne," making Wei Yen-wu a temporary True Lung to sacrifice his life to activate "No Return" instead of the current True Lung, Yanli. Ch'en rebukes Chun for assisting in altering history despite being Jie's old friend. Chun, no longer believing in the existence of accurate and fair history, insisted her actions were for the peace of Great Yan. The two sides clashed. During the scuffle, the token Zuo Le and Mo Yi were fighting over fell to the ground, and Jie's figure emerged: a sliver of Jie's life force turned into a Chang. As Jie's figure appeared and faded, Chun was left speechless and had to leave the sorrowful place. Jun arrived at the door, expressing gratitude and warning Zuo Le and Mo Yi, entrusting them to bring Jie to the gates of Sui Mausoleum to prepare for the family reunion. After seeing off Zuo Le and Mo Yi, Jun asked Ch'en what justice was. After Ch'en answered, Jun decided to entrust the book-knife that can edit history to her. Ch'en took the book-knife to the Forbidden City to investigate the unidentified troop movements, only to encounter Wei Yen-wu. Outside the Forbidden City, Ch'en firmly opposed Wei Yen-wu's self-sacrifice, and the two decided to settle their differences through force. Ch'en used the book-knife to perform her original sword technique, defeating Wei Yen-wu's soulless Tiancheng. Ch'en pointed out that Wei Yen-wu had always regretted the past and successfully convinced him to give up on dying. Hearing the bugle call from Yumen to campaign against Sui Mausoleum, Ch'en decided to stop the Yumen Yan army. Before leaving, Ch'en asked Wei Yen-wu for a name for her sword technique: Tiankui. Ch'en reached Yumen, but the city continued to advance. Ch'en swung the book-knife, using the Tiankui technique to kick up dust like golden snow, forcing the Yumen Yan army to halt. Afterward, Sui was replaced by Wang under Wang's scheme, and Great Yan's Sui problem was completely resolved. Ch'en and Chen Zhaoqian chatted at Tianjing Pavilion. Chen Zhaoqian completed the image of Ch'en's father for her, and Ch'en expressed her willingness to help Chen Zhaoqian revise the Chen family history. Chen Zhaoqian invitedNing Yinto gain more clues, and Ning Yin informed Ch'en that Chen Zhaoqian was about to be transferred to the Grand Historiographer's Pavilion. Later, Ch'en investigated a forty-year-old case at Tianjing Pavilion and met the Crown Princess, who was studying there. Ch'en taught the Crown Princess about the virtues of being a True Lung, and the two left Tianjing Pavilion together. |
Ch'en's codename is actually based on her real name—Ch'en Hui-chieh. She is generally called "Ch'en-sir" by her subordinates, imitating Hong Kong police tradition (as Lungmen is modeled after the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Lungmen Guard Department is modeled after the Hong Kong Police Force).
As a common surname, Chen ranked fifth in the national population (2018), reaching 63.3 million people, and is the most common surname in Guangdong and Taiwan provinces. This surname has a long history and diverse origins. The earliest origin is based on the vassal enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty—Chen Hugong Gui Man. Gui Man was a descendant of the ancient emperor Shun and was enfeoffed in the land of Chen, establishing the vassal state of Chen. By the tenth generation descendant Gui Wan (also known as Chen Wan, of the Gui surname and Chen clan, son of Chen Ligong Gui Yue), internal strife occurred in the state of Chen, so he fled to the state of Qi and thereafter took the name of his former state as his surname (Chen clan of the Tian surname, also known as Tian Wan, thus also the ancestor of the Tian surname), giving birth to the Chen surname. There are several other origins as well.
In Chinese history, the Chen surname is most prominent for the "Yingchuan Chen clan" (even today, the Yingchuan Hall in Henan remains the main hall for the Chen surname worldwide), which was a powerful clan during the late Han and Wei-Jin periods, wielding great power. In the story, Ch'en Hui-chieh is the daughter of Wei Yen-wu's sister and a prominent Chen family member from her second marriage, and Talulah's younger half-sister (same mother, different father). Ch'en Hui-chieh has no affection for her paternal family, but it is undeniable that being able to marry the sister of the powerful figure controlling the key stronghold of Lungmen suggests that the Chen family's power in Yan was significant, somewhat like the "Yingchuan Chen clan"—however, in the "Where Vernal Winds Will Never Blow" storyline, Ch'en Hui-chieh's aunt Chen Zhaoqian states that the Chen family rapidly declined after marrying Princess Yanjing (Ch'en's mother).
Swordmaster archetype, stats are mediocre, and the first talent is very unique. For a period of time, she wasa member of the "Melancholy Blues,"but this term has gradually faded from view.
