Biography
As a child, Yu Ying was abducted by bandits to be sold into slavery, but she was rescued by the youxia Wei Yu.[1] From that point on, she became one of his apprentices and found a home with them in Jade Spring, Shang Commandery. She grew up with Chu Huan, a boy who had also been saved from human trafficking by Wei Yu, and his sworn sibling.[1] Wei Yu trained them in the martial arts and the principles of a youxia, and they conducted many missions together in service to their community.[2] For her part, Yu Ying received many gifts of gratitude from the people she helped, and she stored them for safekeeping in a secret safehouse on the hills above the village.[3] With her savings, she dreamed of someday building a "prosperous, business empire" in the manner of her idol, Ba Qing.[2]
In 215 BCE,[4] while Wei Yu was away on a long journey that took him to the Mediterranean Sea,[2][5] his three disciples were alerted by their informant Nie Jing to the theft of a poor farmer's treasure by a corrupt official in Yangzhou City. Given Nie Jing's reliable track record, they readily believed her when she spurred them to retrieve it from Yangzhou Palace and claimed that the palace would be virtually vacant. While Chu Huan and his sworn sibling sneaked into the complex, Yu Ying was in charge of keeping surveillance outside and securing their exit.[6]
Nie Jing's intel had been a lie, and security at the palace was at an all time high because of an official visit by Qin Shi Huang. Although they had acquired the treasure, Yu Ying's two friends were unable to elude detection, and Yu Ying was forced to leap into action to assist their escape. She led the way back to Jade Spring, during which Chu Huan and his sibling raced one another along the Great Wall to the nearest beacon tower to determine who would be treated as the senior of the household that night. The race culminated in Chu Huan's sibling diving off the tower into a haystack, a reckless feat that alarmed Yu Ying. Per her instruction, the three made their way home separately from that point to mitigate the chance of unwanted attention.[6] Consequently, Yu Ying missed the bandit attack on outlying farms that Chu Huan, his sibling, and Nie Jing intervened in.[7]
