Background

Qian Xue lived alone in the Snowy Domain for many years and had never traveled beyond it. She had no name until she left with Lin Xiao; after initially suggesting “Xia Xue,” she accepted Lin Xiao's proposed name, Qian Xue. 362

Although she presents herself as a human woman, Qian Xue is a Snow Lotus spirit plant that transformed into human form. She initially fears that Lin Xiao may capture her and refine her into a pill after he discovers her identity. 380 Her later journey into the Ancient Dense Forest is driven by a desire to find her kin and understand her own transformation. 479 480

Appearance

Qian Xue is repeatedly described as ethereal and fairy-like, with a cold, detached bearing. She commonly wears white, including a white dress after reuniting with Lin Xiao in the Ancient Forest. 362 378

• Her original thick clothing has white fur at the shoulders, cuffs, and collar; it can change into different forms. 362
• Her human appearance is elegant and graceful, while her true form is an exceptionally beautiful Snow Lotus. 401 479
• She often maintains a frosty, aloof expression even in dangerous situations. 365

Personality

Qian Xue is candid, literal, and inexperienced with ordinary human behavior. She initially does not understand flirtation or why Zhong Qiao's conduct is offensive, and she can be similarly blunt in life-or-death situations. 362 364 When Zhong Ziyu demands to know why she protects Lin Xiao, her simple answer is that she wants to stay alive. 365

Despite her detached manner, she is curious, playful, and drawn to beautiful scenery, Spirit Plants, and exploration. 404 425 She becomes increasingly attached to Lin Xiao, seeking him out in the Ancient Forest, asking to be his friend, and relying on him during dangerous expeditions. 379 401 427
