Background / History

Xia Wantang was a late-night reader who transmigrated into the body of a novel character bearing her name. She awoke in Azure Cloud Palace as its Saintess, facing execution if she could not prove the cultivation her family had fabricated for her 1.

The Xia Family, a declining clan of the East Hill Domain, had installed her as Saintess by exploiting the selection process and the Nine Heavens Ice Glaze Hairpin. The Earth Grade artifact concealed her actual early Human Martial Realm cultivation and displayed a false realm that the Azure Cloud Palace Lord could not see through 1. Her Ice Spirit Root and exceptional appearance helped secure the position, as the Palace Lord selected her from the candidates partly because of her beauty 1 3.

Her circumstances changed after she bound the Gacha System. By gaining favorability from others, she receives faith value for card draws, which can yield cultivation resources, bloodlines, techniques, weapons, and magic treasures 2. A ten-pull gave her the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique, granting her a second body that could be switched with her original Saintess body 2.

Identities

Identity	Presentation	Purpose
Xia Wantang	Azure Cloud Palace Saintess with ice-based cultivation and a sacred public image	Maintains her sect position, protects allies, and leads Azure Cloud Palace disciples.
Tang Wan	Her powerful Supreme Yin Demonic Physique identity	Operates independently, conceals her connection to the Saintess, and pursues opportunities outside Azure Cloud Palace 13 17.
Xia Zhi	A disguised ice-root Sound Cultivator with a seven-holed flute	Used to avoid association with either Xia Wantang or Tang Wan 321.

Appearance

Xia Wantang is repeatedly regarded as a peerless beauty. Her Saintess identity combines an immaculate, gentle appearance with an increasingly sacred and inviolable aura after her Divine Race evolution 3 111 336.

• Fair, snow-white skin and long black hair. 121
• Distinctive light golden or amber-gold eyes. 131 306
• A pure, flawless face often compared to that of a descended goddess. 131 136
• Usually wears pale gold or light gold Saintess robes. 115 136
• Her Divine Race blood carries conspicuous golden threads, evidence of extraordinary purity. 440
• Her Tang Wan identity has a separate, fixed appearance; the form may change slightly through future demonic-bloodline fusion. 13

Personality

Xia Wantang is pragmatic, quick-thinking, and highly conscious of survival. Upon learning that her Saintess status was built on deception, she immediately focused on acquiring strength, life-saving resources, and alternate identities rather than accepting her presumed fate 1 8 13.

She approaches relationships strategically, using the System’s favorability mechanic to obtain faith value and gacha draws. This can make her manipulative, particularly when dealing with Xiao Rui, but she also weighs others’ strengths, temperaments, and needs before acting 17 137 154.

Despite her calculating side, she is protective toward her family, spirit pet, sect disciples, and innocent cultivators. She provides Azure Cloud Palace disciples with defensive talismans, intervenes in disputes, and ultimately chooses to sacrifice herself to eradicate the Calamity Race 31 136 498.

Xia Wantang is also confident in her appearance and abilities. Her shared narcissism with Lin Xi and her private enjoyment of her own refined appearance contrast with the composed, reliable Saintess persona she presents publicly 44 372.
