It isn't actually a lie to say that your name is The Name That You've Been Put Down As On The Clan Rolls Of Your Spouses Clan as opposed to the name you still identify as in your heart, as long as one really thinks that the name on that clan roll genuinely matters.

As long as someone was willing to stick Hui Lijie in their clan rolls somewhere, there's no longer a person named Hui Lijie, instead there's a Wang Lijie or Jia Lijie or Luo Lijie.

Now, Hui Lijie specifically may very well have died, but it has been very very strongly suggested that there were spouses and children whose non-hui family were willing to go to bat for and were quietly absorbed into those clans.

I have a hunch we might know what happened to Hui Lijie, unless we know that's another character:

"I am not. Hah! The Four Heavenly Kings, what an amusing name, not lie nor truth. Many others stood with us, but they are left behind, forgotten, there is not enough room in a good tale for so many names," Jia Hong said cheerfully. "What history will speak of the man who lead resistance to the Hui in Xiangmen for a hundred years before us, brutal and uncompromising, who threw open the defenses of the roots at our approach. None, for he knelt before her Grace and asked the mercy of annihilation in body and memory for all he had done.

    Yaaaay! I read the description and saw that Xiulan and Meizhen's (Snake and Spider) stories are in there. Can you tell us one or two others or at least give us a hint? Pleeeeaase? 🙏🙏

    The bloody scissors and flowers in the background might reflect the sidestory we got about Linqin's husband's "garden"? The boat might mean the Explorer King series.
     
    Fun fact: per the Q&A if we want a proper Xianxia feud with an established clan we should adopt Jiao somehow. It'd earn us the eternal undying hatred of the Sima clan and they'd be doing their best to see us destroyed as soon as Jiao isn't around anymore.

    Eh, I don't know about Jiao himself, but if he gets himself killed in the war I'm 100% down to adopt the kid Yin finally talked him into having. Fully on board for fighting a shadow war with a Peaks Count clan to protect that adorable niece/nephew.
     
    On that note, how old is Jiao anyway? Cause i know he has to be getting there up, but i don't know if anything more specific then 'he was around before Ogodei showed up' has been stated or not.
     
    The kid will be Jiao's child, who has the eternal hatred of the Sima clan for giving away clan secrets to help An form Ministry of Integrity.
    It does not matter the kid is innocent, clan feuds rarely have little to do with who did what after a while.

    Jiao and An were observers from the imperial court when the Ogodei stuff was going down, I want to say they were roughly Cyan? He's older than most of the modern Argent Peak elders, we saw Yuan He reminisce about pulling Nai Zhu (masked burning elder with a bunch of devils) from the ruins of her family's manor when she was a child.

    Character ages probably go roughly:
    -Yuan He (Well over 800)
    -Sun Shao
    -Elder Ying (aside from Yuan He, the last of the Elders that actually fought Ogodei)
    -Sima Jiao
    -Argent Peak Elders (about 500 years old on average)
    -Diao Linqin (450)
    -Empress (a bit over 400, she was a teenager when her dad took the throne)
    -Elder Hua Su (about 350)
    -Wang & Jia patriarchs, Xia Ren. (maybe a bit older or younger than Hua Su?)
    -Cai Shenhua (250)

    I'd guess about 600 for Jiao maybe? Maybe younger if I'm right about him being Cyan when Ogodei hit, with his talent it'd be surprising if he were still Cyan at a hundred, maybe closer to 550?
