Background / History

Ye Lingling was a Class S student at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and shared a dormitory with Dugu Yan. When Ning Weiyang was assigned as their new roommate, Ye Lingling chose to approach the timid new student herself, took her to eat, and quickly became protective of her. 7 10

After Goreya's confrontation with Ning Weiyang, Ye Lingling immediately treated Weiyang with the Nine Heart Begonia and confronted Goreya over what had happened. She later shielded Weiyang from Yu Feng's probing questions about her martial soul and family, knowing that discussion of Weiyang's low initial innate soul power could hurt her. 8 9 11

When Weiyang became an exchange student at Spirit Hall Academy, Ye Lingling quietly supported her despite worrying about the difficulties she might face as an outsider. The two reunited in Heaven Dou City during Weiyang's leave, after which Ye Lingling brought her to the Ye Family to meet Old Master Ye. 35 98 100

Song Weiyang later gave Ye Lingling the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb. Its effects elevated her to Soul Ancestor and removed the Nine Heart Begonia's former restriction of possessing only one soul ring. In gratitude, Ye Lingling vowed to stand by Weiyang whenever needed. 110

Following Xue Ye's death and Xue Qinghe's ascension, Ye Lingling became empress. After the Heaven Dou Empire was incorporated into the Spirit Hall Empire, she remained in charge of the Xue family’s Heaven Dou City fief as empress of the previous dynasty. 120 121

Appearance

Ye Lingling has long black hair with bangs. Her reserved, cold outward demeanor softens noticeably around people she trusts, particularly her grandfather and Song Weiyang. 10 100

• Wears formal empress robes while residing in the Heaven Dou Royal Palace. 120

Personality

Ye Lingling is quiet, socially reserved, and not naturally expressive, but she is attentive to the emotions of those around her. She deliberately tries to appear approachable to Ning Weiyang despite finding smiles difficult. 7

She is protective without being reckless. She refuses to tolerate bullying, confronts Goreya when Weiyang is harmed, and guards Weiyang's private circumstances from Yu Feng’s curiosity. 9 11

Her loyalty is steadfast. Whether supporting Song Weiyang’s political decisions, caring for Song Xiuyan, or stabilizing Weiyang’s consciousness during the rescue of Jiang Qingning, Ye Lingling acts without judgment or hesitation. 120 150
