Background

Xia Yao's childhood was shaped by isolation and violence. Her memories depict a progressively younger Xia Yao surrounded by increasingly brutal scenes; she could reduce a mountain-sized Hundred-Eyed Giant Beast to ash with a glance and sat alone on a throne of white bones while powerful Anomalies knelt before her. Despite being treated as a queen, she was profoundly lonely 7.

According to Xia Qingyuan, Xia Yao stopped truly smiling after learning the truth concerning her father at age seven. Her life thereafter centered on rules, destruction, and battle; Xia Qingyuan later confirms that Xia Yao's father is still alive 104 178.

Before meeting Chu He, Xia Yao rejected every known suitor, including the Abyssal Demon Dragon Tribe's crown prince and the Sea of Corpse Bones' young master. Her uncle believed she had no interest in romance at all 13. She became the owner of the Anomaly school, delegating the girls' dormitory to an SS-Class supervisor while retaining authority over its rules 6.

Appearance

Xia Yao resembles a beautiful university student at first glance, but her cold presence and black eyes reveal her inhuman nature.

• Long raven-black hair and fair, jade-like skin 5.
• Pure black eyes without visible warmth; they can flare scarlet when her destructive power rises 5 43.
• Ice-cold touch despite a delicate-looking hand capable of tearing space and erasing life 5.
• Wears a school uniform during the school arc; later appears in a purple nightgown and formal royal gowns 9 127.
• Her ceremonial white gown is embroidered with silver star patterns and paired with an elegant updo, emphasizing her status as a Void Gazer princess 127.
• Her left Eye of Nirvana can emit a purple glow when she applies a conceptual lock through Annihilation 281.

Personality

Xia Yao is intensely possessive of Chu He. She initially treats him as her private property, reacts violently to perceived rivals, and is willing to threaten even close companions when they approach him 5 32 78. Her jealousy is direct rather than subtle: Kachi's confession to Chu He drives her Power of Annihilation into an uncontrolled eruption 32.

Beneath this domineering exterior, she is emotionally inexperienced and deeply vulnerable. Having spent years alone, she learned about affection through human romance novels and struggles to express love without immediately seeking physical closeness or absolute certainty 6 9. She becomes visibly anxious when Chu He fears her, but responds eagerly to his reassurance and sincerity 5 6.

In battle or training, Xia Yao becomes cold, regal, and detached. She approaches Annihilation as a cosmic principle rather than brute force, showing patience and high expectations as Chu He's instructor 110 115. Threats to Chu He's life, however, can overwhelm that control and provoke catastrophic outbursts 129 139.

Abilities & Skills

Power of Annihilation

Xia Yao wields the Void Gazer Royal Family's defining power. She describes Annihilation as the declaration and acceleration of an inevitable end: existence returning to nothingness rather than merely being destroyed 110.

• Can silently wither resilient life into ash by accelerating its end state 110.
• Erased a Hundred-Eyed Giant Beast with a glance in her memories 7.
• Her black void can swallow incoming attacks, including Kachi's starlight blades 32.
• Can erase matter at a conceptual level; her power can lock targets for complete deletion from existence 281.
• Strong emotions may cause uncontrolled eruptions capable of shaking the imperial palace and turning its floor to dust 139.
• Xia Qingyuan can suppress Xia Yao's berserk Annihilation when necessary 129 139.

Annihilation Techniques

Xia Yao demonstrates and teaches multiple forms of Annihilation to Chu He.

• Annihilation Ray — A thin black line that pierces and erases a smooth passage through a mountain 112.
• Annihilation Storm — A controllable domain-like black storm that returns matter and laws within its range to nothingness 115.
• Collapse Shield — A defensive form successfully tested against Lilian's attack 115.
• Destruction Pulse — A fourth form Xia Yao demonstrates for Chu He's practice 115.
• Eye of Destruction, Void Collapse, and Annihilation of All Things — Later techniques among the ten stances she introduces 112.

Rule Authority

As the school's owner and the “Queen of Rules,” Xia Yao stands above ordinary school restrictions.

• Negated the system's attempted obliteration of Chu He after he entered the girls' dormitory 5.
• Broke the dorm supervisor's gender-separation rule, injuring the SS-Class supervisor through the clash of authority 6.
• Is feared by school Anomalies, including the dorm supervisor ghost 6.

Combat Ability

Xia Yao is an SSS-Class Anomaly whose pressure alone can fracture terrain and overwhelm lesser beings 5 32.

• Can manifest black energy and void-like constructs in combat 32.
• Fought Kachi in the sky, turning their clash into a collision between darkness and a river of stars 32.
• Instantly annihilated attacking vines during the expedition toward Illusion City 155.
• Can protect Chu He and his allies with overwhelming destructive pressure when hostile forces appear 68 93 157.

Relationships

• Chu He — Husband and sole beloved. Xia Yao initially protects him as her claimed possession, but their relationship develops into mutual trust and marriage. Their intimacy reaches 100%, unlocking the Sole Beloved relationship 5 127 131.
• Chu Xinyao — Daughter with Chu He. Xia Yao's life force is endangered during the birth because the unborn child instinctively draws on the Power of Annihilation 286.
• Xia Qingyuan — Mother and Empress of the Void Gazer Empire. Their relationship is strained by Xia Qingyuan's strict trials for Chu He, but Xia Qingyuan ultimately accepts him and entrusts Xia Yao to his care 128 139 141.
• Xia Nuo — Younger brother. Xia Yao is intimidated by their mother's authority when Xia Nuo invokes it, while Xia Nuo later supports Chu He as his brother-in-law 30 131.
• Xia Yan — Uncle. He is deeply protective of Xia Yao and initially hostile toward Chu He, but Xia Yao forces him to offer Chu He safety through a Blood Pact 13 15.
• Kachi — Best friend and fellow wife. Kachi's love for Chu He triggers a fierce conflict between them, but their rivalry eventually gives way to shared support for Chu He 22 32 92.
• Lilian — Fellow wife and ally. Xia Yao is immediately hostile when Lilian shows interest in Chu He, but later joins her and Kachi in protecting and supporting him 68 93 188.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Anomaly School Arc

Xia Yao meets Chu He at the Anomaly school and immediately becomes protective of him. She ignores the school's dormitory rules, negates the system's execution order, and brings him to her living quarters in the Principal's Office 5 6.

Chu He's request to understand her heart triggers the SSS-Class hidden trial Her Heart, exposing her lonely and brutal past through a memory labyrinth 7. Their bond deepens as Chu He proves his sincerity before Xia Yan's Deceitful Demon Heart 16.

Kachi Rivalry

Kachi discovers Xia Yao's relationship with Chu He and becomes fascinated by it, eventually confessing that she also loves him 22 32. Xia Yao responds with overwhelming jealousy, battling Kachi until Chu He invokes her earlier promise that Kachi could become his second wife 32.

Royal Family and Marriage Trials

After Xia Qingyuan awakens, Xia Yao fears her mother's response to her relationship with Chu He 98. Chu He enters the Void Gazer Empire to propose, and Xia Yao abandons her royal composure to embrace him the moment he arrives 127.

During the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ancestors trial, Xia Yao nearly loses control when Chu He appears to die. Her desperation becomes central to the trial's aftermath, culminating in the Sole Beloved bond after his survival 129 131. Xia Qingyuan later recognizes Chu He's sincerity and formally entrusts Xia Yao to him 140 141.

Wife, Mother, and Main Wife

Xia Yao is one of Chu He's three wives by their wedding day, accompanying him on urgent missions alongside Kachi and Lilian 188. She later acts as the central authority among Chu He's wives, confronting newly arrived Sea Demon princesses with a conceptual Annihilation lock and demanding an explanation from him 281.

Fifteen days after the wives begin receiving bloodline upgrades, Xia Yao gives birth to Chu Xinyao. Her daughter's inherited Annihilation power nearly consumes Xia Yao's origin until Chu He intervenes 286.
