Background / History

Xu Qianqian is the only daughter of Xu Yongfeng, the second son of the Xu Family head and a Longyao Base City high-ranking official. Her pure bloodline is regarded as the finest among the Xu Family's third generation, earning her the family head's esteem and a private force cultivated for her since childhood. 12 84

Her status also makes her a target in the Xu Family's internal struggle. Xu Yanyan, daughter of Xu Qianqian's eldest uncle, becomes her principal familial rival; their respective fathers lead competing factions within the family. 84 241 Xu Qianqian dislikes the Xu ancestral home, where relatives privately scheme against one another, and moved out after entering the academy to avoid it. 159

While a student, Xu Qianqian accepts a sensitive investigation into a suspicious group causing unrest in Longyao Base City. She is ambushed and severely injured during the assignment, then recruits Su Ming after deciding he is more trustworthy than the officials and associates around her. 15 16 Their agreement requires Su Ming to keep his involvement and strength secret, while Xu Qianqian handles the sale and acquisition of his extraordinary items. 16

During the Huaming District crisis, her cousin's faction isolates her by intercepting communications with her father. Xu Qianqian later confronts Xu Yanyan directly, takes her hostage to negotiate an escape, and is severely wounded when their conflict escalates into a mutual attack. 111 123 She survives the attempt on her life, though Gao Xu prevents her from using a recovery potion before an unknown attacker interrupts him. 123

Appearance

Xu Qianqian is renowned throughout the academy for exceptional beauty and a striking presence, described as surpassing the academy's other celebrated students. 8 She has a tall, slender figure and delicate features. 269

• Usually wears her black hair in a ponytail while at the academy. 31
• When dressed formally, wears her long black hair loose to her waist and presents a softer, aristocratic elegance. 31
• Her ordinary bedroom is simple, plain, and deliberately without ostentatious decoration. 174

Personality

At the academy, Xu Qianqian is known as cold, aloof, and difficult to approach. She rejects unwanted advances bluntly and maintains distance from nearly all classmates, including teammates outside of necessary mission communication. 11 81 Her reputation as an unapproachable “High Mountain Flower” is reinforced by her indifference toward Li Wei's public pursuit. 11 38

Her private conduct is less detached. Su Ming observes that she can be naïve, straightforward, and prone to revealing information before achieving her goal; she will also apologize when she believes she has acted improperly. 15 She is decisive under pressure, analytical in political and operational matters, and cautious about whom she trusts. 16 67

Xu Qianqian values strength and resents being unable to determine her own fate within the Xu Family. Her desire to improve intensifies after recognizing the limits of her two-star strength. 165 181
