Background / History
Kua Huo was originally a mortal woman used as a tool for the Heavenly Emperor's Crown Prince to undergo a love tribulation in the mortal realm. The Crown Prince reincarnated as an emperor and became entangled in a destructive love-hate relationship with a princess of a fallen kingdom, causing unrest and war. Kua Huo awakened during this storyline, killed the Crown Prince, and ascended to immortality. 174
The Heavenly Emperor attempted to execute her after the failed tribulation, but Kua Huo overwhelmed the Heavenly Court. Unable to defeat her, the Heavenly Emperor surrendered authority over the court. 174
After learning of Shan Jun, the Crown Prince's illegitimate younger brother, Kua Huo extracted his immortal marrow under the pretext of controlling him. Her actual purpose was to use his special physique as a vessel to nurture the Crown Prince's remnant soul, allowing her to revive and torment the Crown Prince across nine lifetimes. 174
Shan Jun later stole eighty percent of Kua Huo's cultivation and fled to the mortal realm. When he eventually summoned her and tried to force her into centuries of servitude by threatening the Crown Prince's remnant soul, Kua Huo negotiated the term down to one hundred years, then continued to dominate and manipulate him despite the nominal contract. 175 176

Personality
Kua Huo is domineering, theatrical, and intensely controlling. She treats Shan Jun as both a servant and a plaything, alternating between false tenderness, humiliation, threats, and physical abuse to keep him dependent on her. 175 176 180
She is highly narcissistic, interpreting Shan Jun's genuine indifference as a calculated attempt to gain her attention. Her confidence in her own understanding of him leads her to dismiss Su Chen's warnings that Shan Jun is concealing his identity and strength. 196 208
