SelengkapnyaPriest (pseudonym) (born June 13, 1988) is a Chinese author whose works are published online. She has been actively writing since 2007 and has received several awards for her writing. She is signed by the web-based publisher Jinjiang Literature City. She is considered to be among the top five Chinese writers catering to women's interests. She is known for writing various genres of danmei as well as novels featuring female protagonists. Her works have been adapted into manhuas, donghuas, and Chinese dramas. Many of her novels have been translated into Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, traditional Chinese, and Japanese versions. Guardian, Legend of Fei, and Word of Honor are dramas based on Priest's novels.
Priest graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. She then attended the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. She works full-time, writing on the side. She has a cat named Pizai ().
Priest's works have deep humanistic themes, reflecting reality and women's growth. The Biennial Network Literature Award stated: "This work [You Fei] gives full play to the author's ability to control the grand historical theme, vertically continues the classic context of the wuxia novel genre, horizontally connects with the female Internet text, and opens up new possibilities in the old type tradition." The novel has a grand structure, a steady rhythm, concise language, delicate and touching characters, and delicate emotions. "It is a rare masterpiece of contemporary network wuxia novels." Her novel You Fei was also praised by Sixth Tone for being a unique martial arts piece that focuses on a woman in a genre that is usually male-centered.
Tan Tian of Literature and Art Newspaper says that Priest's Mo Du demonstrates an "inheritance of traditional literary resources, which is mainly manifested in three aspects: titles, selected sentences, and contents are integrated into the elements of traditional literary resources; realistic style is concerned about social hot issues; the slow introduction of narrative rhythm and complex story structure suggest that network literature extradites the essence of traditional literature."
About Priest's Can Ci Pin, the 30th China Science Fiction Galaxy Awards stated, "Under the surface of all kinds of sci-fi elements such as mechs, cyber, and interstellar wars, there lies a story about the warmth of humanity." "The author uses a first-class narrative ability, bringing sci-fi to a much wider audience."
Xia Lie, vice president of the Chinese Writers Association's Institute of Online Literature, described Priest as a talented writer covering a broad range of genres, from romance and martial arts to science fiction and danmei, with her quality and creativity setting Priest apart from other writers.
