Background

Long ago, Ling Hua existed as the spirit of Douluo Continent’s plane. Beginning as a hazy consciousness, she developed into a nurturing presence devoted to maintaining the continent’s natural harmony and protecting its inhabitants. 317

A god who had once been a child of the plane betrayed her by draining her essence in pursuit of power, eventually becoming the Shura God. Ling Hua attempted to preserve the continent by transferring its destiny to a young man, but the god intervened; the young man was corrupted, and Ling Hua ultimately dissipated. 317

In her present life, she is the eldest daughter of the Qian Gu family, born to Qian Gu Qing Feng and Xia Zheng Leng. Her body has suffered from a lifelong condition that periodically devours her vitality; she was expected to face a fatal episode three years earlier, but recovered without explanation. 134 263 307

Personality

Ling Hua is compassionate, gentle, and deeply troubled by the conflict between humans and soul beasts. Despite being an heiress of the Spirit Pagoda family most associated with the decline of soul beasts, she sincerely seeks coexistence and approaches all life with an indiscriminate, maternal love. 146 305

She is intelligent and research-focused, applying careful calculations to potion-making and patiently refining arrays for complex contracts. 106 108 120 In family matters, she can also be mature and cunning, particularly when dealing with her mother or the Qian Gu clan’s internal affairs. 134 168

Though she often quietly waits at Spirit Creation Academy rather than competing for Lin Xuan’s attention, she becomes openly affectionate with him and grows more mature after recovering her memories as the plane’s spirit. 146 305 318 321
