Background / History
Ruler of the Extreme North
Snow Empress spent hundreds of thousands of years alone before meeting Xiao Bai, whom she adopted, and accepting Ice Empress as her younger sister. She rules from an immense palace made entirely of ice, situated where the Extreme North’s spiritual energy converges 141 143 176.
As her 700,000-year tribulation approached, Ice Empress repeatedly brought handsome human men to the palace to help her discover romantic love. Snow Empress remained uninterested. Rejected candidates stayed as servants by choice, attracted by the sisters’ beauty and the palace’s comfortable living conditions; Snow Empress complained that feeding them was exhausting Xiao Bai 141.
Meeting Chi Xiu
Chi Xiu and Bibi Dong arrived with Ice Empress’s latest group of captured villagers. Snow Empress noticed that Chi Xiu’s darkened face did not match his white hands. She initially supported her sister’s attempt to keep Bibi Dong, sealing the palace gates with a violent snowstorm 141 142.
Watching Bibi Dong’s affection for Chi Xiu gave Snow Empress her first clearer understanding of romantic attachment. She released the pair, explaining that she should not separate people who already belonged together, and resolved to face both tribulations 143 144.
Snow Empress had been dreaming of a golden-masked man wielding eight elements and a blood-red sword. When Chi Xiu recovered his Golden Mask and fought the Titan Snow Demon King, his Dragon God aura and sword confirmed that he was the man from her dreams 143 144 145.
The Two Tribulations
Snow Empress negotiated for Chi Xiu’s help against the lightning tribulation, offering a Head Soul Bone as payment. Meanwhile, she secretly watched him and Bibi Dong to learn how humans expressed affection. After Bibi Dong’s departure, she continued observing Chi Xiu from the room directly above his for half a month 146 147 148 149.
During the Seven-Colored Lightning Tribulation, Chi Xiu absorbed the first six bolts. The seventh exceeded his control and struck Snow Empress, leading into her Love Tribulation 150 152.
Inside the illusion, she became the human daughter of the Xue Family under the name Wu Yang. Her father organized a martial marriage contest and had her restrained when she refused to participate. Chi Xiu, deprived of his usual powers, entered the contest to protect her; she recovered enough elemental control to assist him with ice blades 152 153 154 155.
When Yu Hengtian threatened to kill the injured Chi Xiu, Snow Empress offered to marry him in exchange for Chi Xiu’s life. Chi Xiu recovered his strength and defeated him. Their subsequent kiss completed the trial, producing matching snowflake marks and an exit from the illusion. Her experience with Father Xue also introduced her to human parental affection and his regret over being unable to protect her mother 156 158 159.
Marriage and Motherhood
After the trial, Snow Empress became openly affectionate toward Chi Xiu and identified herself as his wife. She protected him at Holy Spirit Academy and in the Star Dou Great Forest, where a misunderstanding briefly brought her into conflict with Gu Yuena 162 163 164 166.
She later revealed her pregnancy and agreed to nurture A Yin in the spiritually rich Ice Palace. Their daughter, Xue Wuyang, was born after two years of pregnancy with the ability to discharge seven-colored lightning. Snow Empress could not nurse her, and the child’s lightning frightened both sisters, prompting Chi Xiu to take mother and daughter to his parents 176 190.
The Chi family accepted Snow Empress and her daughter. She adapted to human family life, cared for Chi Xiu’s newborn brother Chi Anran, and once secretly made it snow over Purple Star Sect to relieve the summer heat—only to be caught by her father-in-law 191 192 224.
Continental Defense and Her Daughter’s Illness
During the Sun Moon Continent crisis, Snow Empress joined Chi Xiu, Ice Empress, and Gu Yuena in strategic discussions with humanity’s leaders. She and Ice Empress were especially concerned about Xue Wuyang’s unexplained distress 300 301.
When Heavenly Thunder Cracks appeared on her daughter’s body, Snow Empress’s attempt to touch them burned her fingertips. She subsequently sought comfort from Chi Xiu while the child’s life remained threatened by heavenly lightning 307 308.
Leaving Xue Wuyang in Ice Empress’s care, Snow Empress entered battle against the invaders. She toppled an airship with an enormous ice pillar and used blizzards and falling ice spikes to halt battle armor soldiers 310 311.
She later accompanied Xue Wuyang and Chi Yuan to Chi Xiu’s palace, where Chi Xiu took his wife and daughter to choose a room during its renovation 328.
Appearance
Snow Empress is repeatedly compared to an immortal maiden or a snow lotus blooming amid ice and snow 141 144.
- Hair: White and shoulder-length 141.
- Eyes: Ice-blue, with long, curled lashes that can gather frost 142 143 158.
- Skin: Fair, jade-like, and crystalline in sunlight; her body is naturally cool 141 144 176.
- Clothing: A magnificent long white gown and crystal high heels 141 144.
- Contract mark: A pearly-white snowflake between her brows, acquired after the Love Tribulation 158.
Personality
Snow Empress initially presents herself as reserved, dignified, and emotionally distant. She tolerates humans without considering herself subordinate to them, and reacts decisively when her authority is challenged. Nevertheless, she orders Xiao Bai to escort departing humans home safely so they will not freeze on the journey 142 147.
Despite her immense cultivation, she begins with little understanding of romantic love. Her curiosity leads her to observe Chi Xiu and Bibi Dong in secret; she even mistakenly interprets Bibi Dong restraining him as a form of affection. Once attached to Chi Xiu, she becomes demonstrative and trusting, greeting him with embraces and kisses 147 148 158 176.
She is protective but capable of reconsidering misunderstandings. After fighting Gu Yuena over Chi Xiu, she willingly introduces herself once the situation is explained. Later, human romance novels influence her attempts to bring Ice Empress and Chi Xiu together 166 256.
Motherhood reveals both tenderness and inexperience. She delights in Xue Wuyang but fears the child’s lightning, while finding the harmless Chi Anran easier to care for. She later disciplines her daughter and becomes distressed when heavenly lightning threatens her life 190 192 225 307 308.
