Background / History
Early contact with Ling Yun
Jiang Yingxue is Jiang Yingqing's older sister. Her family mistakes her restrained manner for aloofness, but she privately struggles with severe social anxiety: unfamiliar conversations require extensive internal rehearsal, often leaving her able to say only a few words or remain silent 8.
Yingqing introduces her to Ling Yun as a highly ranked Honor of Kings player. Although initially nervous about accepting his friend request, Yingxue is drawn in by the chance to play with a top-tier player. Ling Yun's calm voice and considerate manner make her feel more comfortable than she does even around family, allowing her to become increasingly expressive during their games 8 15.
Editor and first meeting
At Yingqing's recommendation, Yingxue accepts work as Ling Yun's video editor. She edits his gaming footage and sends completed videos to him, later addressing him as “Boss” in a professional capacity 20 23.
She meets Ling Yun in person during his first dinner at the Jiang residence. Though initially maintaining her usual cool exterior, she welcomes him warmly and defends him when Chen Xuanyu attempts to belittle his work, plainly stating that Ling Yun is her boss 30 31.
Relationship with Ling Yun
Yingxue openly acknowledges that she likes Ling Yun and refuses to give up on him, even after learning that her sister shares the same feelings 32. During the Savadi Country trip, she becomes more open in expressing affection, though she remains subtler than Yingqing 71.
After Ling Yun explains his existing relationships, Yingxue chooses not to wait any longer. She confesses that her feelings began during their earliest gaming sessions, and she and Ling Yun formally confirm their relationship 127 128.
She later learns the Symbiotic Life Extension Art from Ling Yun and undergoes dual cultivation with him, gaining physical and spiritual benefits 132. Yingxue subsequently moves into Ling Yun's villa with her sister and becomes part of his wider household 191.
Appearance
Jiang Yingxue is a striking young woman with a cool, elegant presence that often makes her seem distant at first glance. Her reserved bearing softens noticeably around people she trusts, particularly Ling Yun 30 188.
- Long, slightly curly black hair, often worn loose over her shoulders 17 30
- Fair complexion and deep, pool-like eyes 17 30
- Usually maintains a calm, composed expression in public 30 130
- Possesses a notably athletic physique after cultivation, despite her gentle outward demeanor 296
Personality
Yingxue's apparent coldness is primarily a defense mechanism born from social anxiety, not indifference. She finds unfamiliar social situations exhausting and prefers brief, controlled interactions, which causes even her family to misread her as naturally aloof 8.
With Ling Yun, she becomes more relaxed, talkative, and competitive. She grows from a nervous support player into someone willing to call for repeated attacks on an arrogant opponent and insist on playing mid lane so she can carry games herself 8 15.
She is quietly protective of Ling Yun. She reacts strongly when another player tries to entice him with photos, and she sharply rebukes Chen Xuanyu for disrespecting him at the Jiang family dinner 16 31. Though shy, she is decisive once she has made up her mind, openly confessing her feelings and accepting the complexities of Ling Yun's relationships because she values his honesty and respect 128 225.

Destiny
Ling Yun's Heavenly Mystery Technique identifies Yingxue's fate as a particularly intense purple destiny, signifying immense opportunity alongside equally immense risk 96.
Her predicted future is closely tied to Ling Yun: she is foreseen as his unique agent, wielding resources, wealth, connections, and influence sufficient to affect the balance of power in a region 96. Yingxue interprets this as confirmation that following Ling Yun is the path she genuinely wishes to take 96.
