Background

Luoshen bears the burden of ruling the Heavenly Venerate Dynasty while her imperial brothers covet the throne and her imperial sisters recruit talent to expand their own influence. In her previous life, Ye Xuan helped her stabilize her position as Empress, but treated her only as a source of resources and abandoned her when villains nearly killed her. Xu Chen instead saved her life, becoming the person she resolves to protect in this life 30 31.

She keeps her cultivation hidden from most observers. By the time Xu Chen returns from the Dark Dragon Abyss, he notes that she has already reached the Martial Saint realm despite publicly appearing less formidable 159.

• Slender jade legs and a graceful figure 30
• Golden light can shoot from her eyes when provoked or alerted 30
• Projects a majestic, tide-like aura when angered 30

Personality

Luoshen is outwardly solemn, dignified, and politically resolute. She refuses the Immortal Empire's demand for one hundred cities in exchange for her captured brother, and only accepts its alternative proposal of three duels when Di Zhentian makes her marriage the penalty for defeat 118.

Her changed feelings toward Xu Chen make her possessive and unusually direct. She personally seeks him out, provides preferential treatment to Jixia Academy because of him, sends an apology and a personally made gift after Luo Dian is injured, and openly declares that Xu Chen will not escape her grasp 37 80 90 107.
