Background

Xue Luochuan is one of Heaven Dou Emperor Xue Ye's sons and the principal rival of First Prince Xue Qinghe. He refuses to accept the prospect of becoming a powerless prince after Xue Qinghe's succession, openly declaring his desire to become emperor. 57

His bid for power depends heavily on cultivating outside support. Early on, he discreetly borrows Bai Wanwan's Nine-Section Emerald, then begins building ties with Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue, whose Titled Douluo protection gives them political weight comparable to major sects. 2 40

Appearance

Xue Luochuan is presented with a gentle, refined manner and is seen wearing royal attire. 44 57

• Often maintains an elegant smile and formal courtly bearing. 52 57
• Wore a mask at the Heaven Dou Auction House to protect his identity. 44

Personality

Xue Luochuan is ambitious, pragmatic, and highly conscious of power. While he respectfully agrees when Xue Ye warns him not to seize what has not been granted, he privately resolves that anything denied to him can be taken by force through the succession struggle. 40

He is generally cautious around superior strength. Upon recognizing Moxiong as a Titled Douluo, he sends away his guard and refuses to interfere in Xue Beng's conflict with Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan. 26 He also prioritizes preserving his alliance with Canglan King's Mansion even when the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is reported missing, recognizing that alienating its leaders would destroy his ability to oppose Xue Qinghe. 156

Despite his calculated exterior, he hesitates when Bai Wanwan offers him poison intended for Emperor Xue Ye. His fear only gives way after he weighs the throne against the risks of failure. 182 183

• Arranges royal titles and fiefs for Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan, strengthening his position through their public support. 59
• Offers residences, court positions, hereditary titles, fiefs, and future assistance in exchange for political backing. 57 126 189

Story Role / Major Arcs

Building the Canglan Alliance

Xue Luochuan approaches Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan repeatedly, provides auction support and gifts, and asks them to openly back him against Xue Qinghe. Their agreement gives him a powerful alternative to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's influence. 39 40 57

He turns that alliance into visible political capital by delivering decrees that grant Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan the King titles of Cang Lan and Chi Yang, along with a shared fief in Suotuo City. 59

Struggle Against Xue Qinghe

When support from Canglan King's Mansion temporarily weakens, Xue Qinghe suppresses Luochuan's faction. Luochuan responds by staying inside the mansion's protected grounds, relying on its Titled Douluo to avoid being targeted. 173 174

After Canglan King's Mansion intervenes again, Luochuan regains confidence and begins confronting Xue Qinghe directly while under She Long's protection. 178 179

The Poison Decision

After gaining the upper hand in the palace, Luochuan seeks final support from Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan. Bai Wanwan proposes poisoning Xue Ye rather than moving directly against Xue Qinghe, forcing Luochuan to choose between moral restraint and his ambition. 182

He ultimately accepts the poison and leaves with it, committing himself to the gamble for the throne. 183

Final Succession Crisis

When Xue Ye becomes gravely ill, Luochuan and Xue Qinghe each suspect the other of plotting and prepare to strike first. Luochuan urgently asks Bai Wanwan for assistance, offering any court posts or titles she desires. 188 189

Bai Wanwan instructs him to seize control of the Imperial Guards and lock down the palace while Canglan King's Mansion handles outside forces. Xue Ye's will is later announced with Xue Ke named as ruler, ending Luochuan's immediate route to the throne. 189 194
