Background

Ji Qianling is the youngest daughter of Venerable Luotian, the Luotian Sect Master. She cultivates the sect’s deepest Heavenly Calculation Technique, which can calculate matters ranging from heaven and earth to the circulation of her own bloodline. Her early cultivation altered her body into a semi-transparent, jade-like state; she came to fear mirrors after believing that the changes had made her appear monstrous. 1134 1147 1178

The Luotian Sect openly supported the Second Prince, Ji Yue, placing Qianling in the middle of the Immortal Dynasty’s succession struggle. Although initially focused on the sect’s interests, she began reassessing that allegiance after Lin Su argued that the Second Prince was a trap intended to gather and eliminate the Western River Royal Clan’s influence. She later stated that any change in her position would be her own decision rather than a commitment on behalf of the sect. 1139 1148 1149

She entered the Literary Abyss alongside Lin Su, easily obtained a Student Token, and selected a residence beside his. There she explained the divide between ordinary students and scholars, including the need to become a scholar to access the secrets of Wenyuan Pavilion. 1135

Appearance

Ji Qianling’s cultivation originally left her skin, flesh, and blood in an unusual semi-transparent state, likened to flawless jade carved into human form. After correcting her Way of Heavenly Calculation, those mutations faded and her appearance became notably more natural and elegant. 1134 1147 1165

• Her complexion is jade-like, with a faint blush returning after her cultivation path was corrected. 1147
• She possesses “Calculation Eyes,” which she uses to inspect people, techniques, formations, and political circumstances. 1142 1176
• She used the Heavenly Calculation Technique to alter her blood circulation and change her figure during seclusion. 1155 1171

Personality

Qianling is exceptionally analytical, cautious, and politically perceptive. She quickly grasps the wider implications of Lin Su’s schemes, whether concerning the Crown Prince’s legitimacy, the White Jade marriage alliance, or the hidden motives behind imperial promotions. 1138 1166 1171

Her initial priorities are closely tied to the Luotian Sect, but her travels with Lin Su broaden her perspective. When he points out the suffering concealed beneath Nanjiang’s orderly surface, she admits that she had focused on sectarian concerns while he was looking at the condition of ordinary people. 1167

Despite her composure, Qianling is emotionally reactive where Lin Su is concerned. She becomes jealous of his closeness to other women, worries visibly when he faces danger, and eventually chooses to be open about their relationship rather than continue hiding it. 1155 1265 1267

Abilities & Skills

Heavenly Calculation Technique

The Luotian Sect’s supreme calculation art is Qianling’s defining discipline. It encompasses numerous branches and allows her to calculate both broad patterns and minute bodily processes. 1134 1135

• Corrected her own divergent cultivation path into a complete system, reversing the strange bodily mutations caused by her earlier practice. 1147
• Earned recognition as someone who had passed the Heavenly Calculation Stele. 1143

• Cannot directly see through the disguise created by Ji Yuechi’s White Jade Myriad Phenomena Art. 1142

• Manifested the River of Calculation to withdraw herself and Lin Su from danger. 1207
• Used the River of Calculation to confine and later release Piggy. 1209

Political Analysis

Qianling is a capable political strategist whose insight complements Lin Su’s more aggressive schemes.

• Delivered Lin Su’s plan to undermine the Crown Prince’s legitimacy to the Second Prince, recognizing its potential to affect the imperial court, White Jade Capital, and the Violet Qi Literary Dynasty. 1138
• Correctly understood that her promotion to Fourth Rank increased her leverage within the Luotian Sect. 1171
• Identified the imperial decree rewarding Lin Su’s work in Xihe as a means of transferring public credit from Lin Su to the Immortal Emperor. 1188

• Student Token — grants her access to the outer layer of the Literary Abyss. 1135

Relationships

• Venerable Luotian — Her father and the current Luotian Sect Master. Qianling remains conscious of the risks her relationship with Lin Su could create with him. 1155 1178
• Piggy — Her eccentric maid and attendant. Qianling gave her the name “Piggy,” frequently scolds her recklessness, and nevertheless keeps her close. 1138 1209
• Ji Yue — The Second Prince whom the Luotian Sect supports. Qianling brings him Lin Su’s plan against the Crown Prince, but later questions whether remaining tied to his faction will doom the sect. 1138 1148
• Ji Yuechi — The Eighth Princess of White Jade Capital. Qianling recognizes Yuechi’s disguised identity, later works with her during the Nen River campaign, and faces her teasing over Qianling’s relationship with Lin Su. 1142 1249 1265

Story Role / Major Arcs

Literary Abyss and Succession Struggle

Qianling warns Lin Su about the King of Nanjiang’s intentions, then enters the Literary Abyss with him. She becomes a key intermediary in the struggle between the Crown Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince, helping Lin Su’s rumor-based strategy reach the Second Prince’s faction. 1134 1135 1138

White Jade Literary Battle

Qianling is selected as a Luotian Sect participant in the White Jade Literary Battle. With the Eastern Domain Immortal Dynasty already two rounds behind, she faces Arithmetic Grandmaster Dong Ren in the decisive Way of Calculation round and wins, preventing an immediate defeat. 1140 1143

Reassessment of the Luotian Sect

While traveling through Nanjiang with Lin Su, Qianling confronts the possibility that the Luotian Sect’s backing of the Second Prince is strategically disastrous. Her observations of Nanjiang and her growing confidence in Lin Su’s judgment lead her to consider changing her own stance. 1148 1149

Imperial Promotion and White Jade Mission

After serving in the White Jade marriage envoy delegation, Qianling is promoted to Fourth-Rank Official. She recognizes that the advancement gives her greater influence in the Luotian Sect and may be part of the Immortal Emperor’s effort to bind her—and through her, the sect—to Lin Su. 1165 1171

Xihe Campaign

Qianling chooses to accompany Lin Su to Xihe rather than return to the Luotian Sect for ancestor worship. She aids his investigations, analyzes political threats, and applies her Calculation Eye to the Nen River battlefield during an assassination attempt. 1171 1176 1249

Relationship with Lin Su

Qianling’s partnership with Lin Su gradually becomes intimate. By the time of the Great Moon Phase Technique counterplot, she refers to herself as both his senior sister and his wife, and she commits to helping him oppose Wujianmen. 1209 1213

Trivia
