Background / History
Medusa first appears after finding Chen Changxin’s diary, a white-glowing “Heavenly Book” that reveals he is a transmigrator. The diary also states that she once brought him into the Snake People Clan, accepted him as her disciple, and made him the clan’s prince in name only after a chance incident involving Princess Die and Haibodong’s lover 2.
She quickly becomes entangled with the diary’s rules. When she tries to tell Xiao Qing about it, a mysterious force prevents her from saying or even substituting the word “diary” 4. She later confirms with Die that only diary holders can see each other’s copies 23.
As Chen Changxin’s master, Medusa supports his cultivation with pills, a Mysterious Tier High Grade Dou Technique called Scorching Flames, and a Spirit Douling Pill. She also encourages him to accept the title of Snake People Clan Highness and later gives him her former personal sword, the Spirit Mist Sword 9 11 22.
Her original goal is to use a Heavenly Flame to overcome the Snake People Clan’s physique bottleneck. Chen Changxin tells her about the Green Lotus Core Flame in the Tagor Desert and asks her to retrieve the lotus seeds and platform; Medusa later subdues the flame after two days, though she ultimately breaks through with the Sect Breaking Pill instead 11 15 40 54 114 115.
Medusa’s relationship with Chen Changxin shifts from stern master-disciple discipline into jealousy, embarrassment, and affection. His diary confession and the stolen bellyband incident cause her “social death,” especially after Die teases her about it 20 23. She is shaken because Chen Changxin is the first person to call her “cute” rather than merely beautiful, cruel, or cold 23.
When Chen Changxin leaves the Snake People Clan, Medusa travels to Wutan City out of concern and scolds him for causing trouble in human territory. She is shocked to learn he has reached Three-star Dou Huang, spars with him, and later receives the Sect Breaking Pill he leaves behind for her Dou Ancestor breakthrough 106 108 109.
After breaking through, Medusa meets Qing Lin and recognizes her as a younger sister through their shared Snake People bloodline. She adds Qing Lin as a Heavenly Book friend, sends her to the Snake People Clan under Haibodong’s escort, and chooses to focus on finding Chen Changxin rather than continuing to punish Haibodong 115 116.
At the Misty Cloud Sect, Medusa hides her identity by posing as Nalan Yanran’s maid. She confronts Yun Yun, establishes a Heavenly Book group chat, obtains the Nine Nether True Dragon Python bloodline reward, and becomes even more confident in her rivalry with Yun Yun 117 130 131.
Medusa later listens to Chen Changxin tell the Legend of the White Snake and becomes emotional, seeing parallels between herself and the white snake heroine. Disguised as Dusha, she tests Chen Changxin’s feelings toward Yun Yun and learns he would choose Medusa as a wife if forced to pick between them 133 137.
In later arcs, Medusa shifts toward broader clan strategy. She discusses relocating the Snake People Clan to the Central Continent with Chen Changxin, coordinates with Yun Yun despite their rivalry, participates in plans to conquer surrounding empires, destroys Mulan Valley, consolidates its resources, and continues following Chen Changxin’s larger plans 150 187 263 265 268.
Appearance
Medusa is repeatedly described as an exceptionally beautiful, cold, and alluring queen. Before her breakthrough, she is associated with the Snake People Clan’s snake-bodied form; after reaching Dou Ancestor, her snake tail is gone and she appears in a fully human body 23 115 117.
- Cold, seductive beauty — Chen Changxin describes her usual presence as cold, seductive, and deadly when softened by rare girlish behavior 11.
- Regal bearing — Appears noble, luxurious, elegant, and dignified when summoning Chen Changxin 15.
- Human form — After her Dou Ancestor breakthrough, her snake tail is replaced by slender, fair legs and delicate feet 117.
- Red dress — Frequently appears after transformation in a red dress, with an alluring charm and phoenix eyes 115 180.
- Imposing aura — Even characters familiar with her struggle to reconcile her transformed appearance with the cold-hearted Queen Medusa they know 180.
Personality
Medusa is feared for being cold, cruel, stern, and merciless toward outsiders. She is also temperamental and strict within the Queen’s Palace, where even a maid suspected of seducing Chen Changxin could face severe punishment 10 23.
Her harshness is tied to responsibility. Since becoming queen, she has devoted herself to the survival of the Snake People Clan, and she is willing to be ruthless when the clan’s future is at stake 23 150 265.
Despite her reputation, Medusa has a strong tsundere streak. She threatens Chen Changxin’s admirers but often helps them because they are connected to him or possess Heavenly Books, leading Nalan Yanran to conclude that Medusa is sharp-tongued but warm-hearted 110 127.
She is deeply possessive of Chen Changxin. Yun Yun’s closeness to him makes Medusa insecure and hostile, though she later considers cooperation when their clans’ future requires it 131 147 187.
