Background

Yao Yue was a princess of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, a royal bloodline among wolf tribes. Her clan was annihilated by the Demon Country, with Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi responsible for the tragedy; she was separated from her elder brother, Si Yue, during the disaster. The loss left her consumed by the need for revenge. 90 120 203 226

Seeking an introduction to Nuwa, Yao Yue approached Shen Gui as her remaining hope against the Demon Country. Her desperation was severe enough that she offered to become his cauldron in exchange for his aid, though Shen Gui refused to exploit her situation. 63

While fleeing the Demon Army, Yao Yue tried to remain behind to delay Ji Meng so Shen Gui could escape, believing he was her sole connection to Nuwa and her only chance at revenge. After the Demon Alliance collapsed, her despair surfaced again when she deliberately fell from a cliff without using her cultivation, though Shen Gui caught her. 67 77

Appearance

Yao Yue is a striking woman whose cold demeanor is matched by silver robes and long silver hair.

• Silver hair reaching her hips. 56
• Usually wears a silver robe. 56 94
• Carries herself with a reserved, icy composure that later develops into the authority of a ruler. 56 226

Personality

Initially, Yao Yue is proud, aloof, and direct. She does not disguise her feelings or intentions: when Shang Yang asks whether she has fallen for Shen Gui, Yao Yue answers plainly that she has. 183

Her outward composure conceals profound grief over her clan and an intense drive for vengeance. Over time, Shen Gui's protection and consideration help her move beyond self-destructive revenge; she ultimately refuses to let her personal vendetta drag Northern Kurukshetra into a war that could cost countless others their families. 77 152

As a leader, Yao Yue is pragmatic, disciplined, and highly capable. She can be stern when working, yet becomes teasing and playful around Shen Gui and Shang Yang once she feels secure with them. 226 279 669

Relationships

• Shen Gui — Initially her link to Nuwa and hope for revenge, later her protector, confidant, and lover. Yao Yue becomes his most dependable administrator before being enfeoffed as Demon Empress, equal in rank to the Demon Emperor. 63 96 276 357
• Si Yue — Her elder brother and fellow survivor of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan's destruction. Their reunion is complicated by Si Yue's loss of cultivation and youthful appearance; Yao Yue later worries over his loss of purpose after Di Jun and Tai Yi's deaths. 203 245 457

• Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi — Enemies responsible for the destruction of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan. Tai Yi's presence still provokes visible fear and hatred in Yao Yue. 96 120
• Li Han — A friend who, like Yao Yue, suffered persecution under Di Jun and Tai Yi. 96
• Wangshu — Shen Gui's Heavenly Consort. Yao Yue proposes Wangshu's title to resolve the question of the Empress of Heaven, and the two later address one another as sisters. 355 356

Story Role

Pursuit of Revenge

Yao Yue enters the story as a survivor determined to destroy the Demon Country. Her reliance on Shen Gui begins as a practical need for access to Nuwa, but his refusal to take advantage of her and his repeated protection gradually change the basis of their relationship. 63 67 77

When Tai Yi's clone confronts the group, Yao Yue is overwhelmed by the trauma of seeing the person who participated in her clan's annihilation. Shen Gui forces her to retreat with Shang Yang and Ci Tie while he holds the clone back. 120

Refuge, Cultivation, and Northern Kurukshetra

After the Demon Alliance disbands, Yao Yue and Shang Yang remain in Heavenly Demon City under Shen Gui's protection. Shen Gui secures their registration and later obtains Nuwa's permission for them to hear her teachings. 91 96 98 99

Yao Yue eventually reaches the middle stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Despite her hatred for the Demon Country, she chooses not to push Northern Kurukshetra into war for her personal revenge, recognizing that doing so would inflict on others the same loss she endured. 112 152

Acting Demon Lord

Yao Yue becomes the practical ruler of Northern Kurukshetra while Shen Gui remains largely hands-off. Her authority, political judgment, and willingness to shoulder responsibility make her indispensable to the continent's stability. 151 223 226

Demon Empress

After Shen Gui pursues her following her temporary resignation, the two finally acknowledge their feelings. Yao Yue accepts that she cannot remain indifferent to Shen Gui's other relationships, while Shen Gui admits that she is the only person for whom he has developed genuine romantic feelings. 275 276

When Shen Gui establishes the new Heavenly Court, Yao Yue helps organize its appointments and is formally enfeoffed as the Demon Empress, equal in position to the Demon Emperor. She later returns to Northern Kurukshetra to continue governing it. 354 357 363
