Background / History

Before becoming Pope, Bibi Dong was Spirit Hall's Saintess and the disciple of the previous Pope, Qian Xunji. She had a relationship with Yu Xiaogang, but Qian Xunji sexually assaulted her and forced her to end it. She later explains that he intended to use her to continue the Angel Lineage's bloodline 2 17 60.

Bibi Dong bore Qian Renxue, whose birth and connection to the Angel Lineage became sources of lasting resentment. When comparing Su Chen's rapid cultivation with her daughter's innate talent, she privately recalls the child with hostility 32 65.

The public account of Qian Xunji's death attributes it to injuries inflicted by Tang Hao. Bibi Dong later confides in Su Chen that she assassinated the previous Pope. Her revenge extends beyond Qian Xunji: she initially intends to destroy both Spirit Hall and the Angel Lineage 29 60 61.

Appearance

Bibi Dong is repeatedly described as exceptionally beautiful, with a noble bearing that becomes cold and imposing during official business 3 30.

• Hair: Pink-gradient hair, shown floating without wind when she releases her aura 20.
• Eyes: Wine-red eyes 24 30 65.
• Clothing: Luxurious papal robes; later wears a white-and-gold robe during the tournament 30 143.
• Accessories: Carries a papal scepter or staff during audiences and public ceremonies 23 85.
• Voice: Described as lazy yet cool during her early audience with the Awakening Elder 3.

Personality

Bibi Dong is calculating, proud, and willing to exploit appearances to strengthen her position. She uses the presumed grief over her mentor's death to silence opposition, despite privately despising him. When challenged by the Angel Lineage, she conceals anger and looks for ways to turn the dispute back in her favor 17 51 52.

Her treatment of Su Chen contrasts sharply with her official demeanor. She teases him, touches him without warning, and offers increasingly generous rewards. Her attachment also becomes possessive: seeing him beside Qian Renxue after moving out provokes jealousy, while his tournament victories fill her with conspicuous pride 24 25 65 91.

Her revenge-driven instability lessens over time. Su Chen notices that she smiles more, no longer rants about destroying the world, and becomes more focused on their shared plans. Her relationship with Qian Renxue also begins improving, though he does not regard her recovery as complete 83.
