Background / History

Xiao Shuang is a transmigrator born into the Xiao Family. From childhood, he displayed exceptional Ice Attribute talent, reaching Ninth Stage Dou Qi at ten years old alongside Xiao Yan. His cold disposition, frosty-white hair, and light-blue eyes became more pronounced after he began condensing Dou Qi. 1 2

His unusual cultivation speed was eventually identified as the result of the Extreme Cold Physique, a rare constitution that restricts him to absorbing Ice Attribute Dou Qi. Xun’er arranged for him to cultivate in the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, where his physique fully awakened and his cultivation surged. 18 19 23 24

Princess Yaoye recognized his potential early and invested Royal Family resources into his growth. Xiao Shuang accepted her engagement proposal and promised not to take other women; their alliance later developed into marriage and a family. 7 16 105 244

After studying at Jia Nan Academy and gaining influence in the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Shuang became the public leader of the Xiao Alliance. He later passed the leadership position to Xiao Yan after emerging from seclusion as a Dou Sheng. 154 264
