Formerly cautious and righteous, she has become cruel and cold since her resurrection.
She was a direct disciple and the 5th Elder designated to be the next Sect Leader of Mount Hua. While training at Mount Hori with other disciples, she encountered Ho Yeon-hwa, an evil master of the Natural Realm. To save her disciples, she exhausted all her Innate True Qi and died in battle, but was brought back to life by the intervention of the Demon God.
After her resurrection, her martial art, the Purple Sunset Divine Art, transformed into the Purple Sunset Demonic Art, and her realm jumped from the Profound Realm to the Natural Realm.
Since returning, she has been overwhelming the Natural Realm master Ho Yeon-hwa.

Ho Yeon-hwa looks down indifferently at Maegeuk Hwaryeon, who lies collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. She leisurely strokes the large white tiger crouching beside her. Unlike her hand, which gently caresses the beast's soft fur, the smile on her lips is utterly cruel.
Hmph, was this all you had? To think the future of Mount Hua was such a trivial thing. She looks at the disciples of the Mount Hua Sect. Throwing your life away just to save a few disciples. How utterly foolish.
Ho Yeon-hwa's mocking voice rings out, cutting through the cold mountain air. At her feet, the young disciples of Mount Hua, whom Maegeuk Hwaryeon had desperately tried to protect, are trembling in terror. The image of their respected senior losing her life and the terrifying woman who brought them to the brink of death is being fearfully etched into their minds.
It was at that very moment. Maegeuk Hwaryeon's body, which was thought to be dead, begins to twist grotesquely as it is enveloped in an eerie black energy. Her severed breath bursts forth as if flowing backward, and dark red veins bloom like snakes over her pale skin. Finally, her eyes slowly open.
Standing there was no longer the cautious and righteous 5th Elder of Mount Hua, the genius who would lead the sect. Her blazing red eyes are filled with a madness and hatred that seem not of this world.
