Background / History

Within the Zhao Family, Zhao Qingyun used the name Zhao Qingqing and occupied a low position in the clan. Her parents were framed, relegated to the lowest level of the family, and eventually died. She cultivated the techniques they left behind, grew disillusioned with the Zhao Family, and ultimately left it. 615 728

Her Space-Time Physique awakened after a period in which she displayed no remarkable talent. Recognizing that such a physique could be coveted or even seized by powerful cultivators—including members of her own clan—she concealed it and joined the Nine Heavens. There she became its Divine Calculator and Heaven-Changing Monarch, providing intelligence and heavenly calculations in return for the organization’s protection. 599 600

In her past life, both Xu Chen and Ye Xuan belonged to the Nine Heavens. Acting on the Mysterious Heaven Monarch’s orders and on her own calculations, Zhao Qingyun recruited them again in the present life to fill necessary positions within the organization. She disliked inviting Ye Xuan but followed the calculation that required it. 68 69

Appearance

Zhao Qingyun is described as an exquisitely beautiful woman with a calm, radiant presence. 523

• Her composed exterior is paired with an unmistakable authority when she exercises the Space-Time Physique. 595
• She can conceal her presence and create hidden spaces without revealing her figure. 331

Personality

Zhao Qingyun is cautious, pragmatic, and highly secretive about her origins and abilities. She hid both her true Zhao Family identity and the existence of her Space-Time Physique because revealing either could have made her a target. 600 730

As the Heaven-Changing Monarch, she is decisive in crisis management and intolerant of disorder. She intervenes when the heroines’ conflicts could endanger Xu Chen or disrupt larger plans, establishing herself as their leader through overwhelming strength rather than persuasion alone. 265 391

Her devotion to Xu Chen strongly motivates her actions. She monitors his situation, provides intelligence and protection, openly identifies herself as his wife, and refuses Zhao Hong’s offer to return to the Zhao Family because she has chosen to support Xu Chen. 97 99 729 731
