Background
Ling Qianxue is the Dao Yi Sacred Sect’s Saintess and a heaven-defying cultivator with the Ice Soul Sacred Body. At the beginning of the story, she is already a God King Realm Sixth Heaven cultivator and regards catching up to Su Changqing as a personal goal. She and Su Changqing knew one another as children and visited Heavenly Saint City together before their cultivation duties separated them. 2 329
Her cultivation is initially hindered by an incomplete technique. Su Changqing’s diary identifies both the accumulating cold energy in her body and the obscure third-floor Scripture Repository technique needed to solve it. When Ling Qianxue tests the diary’s claim, the cold energy lashes back and she coughs up frost-covered blood, proving its accuracy to her. 8
Appearance
Ling Qianxue is portrayed as a graceful young woman with an exquisite face, clear cold eyes, and a naturally aloof bearing. Frost often forms around her when she releases or suppresses her aura. 2 20

- Has red lips and an elegant figure; she is once seen in a flowing green dress. 2 20
- Her cold exterior noticeably breaks when she is praised by, embarrassed around, or jealous over Su Changqing. 15 184 326
Personality
Ling Qianxue normally presents herself as cold, proud, and difficult to approach. Her ambition is equally intense: she treats Su Changqing’s rapid growth as motivation rather than discouragement and enters seclusion to narrow the gap between them. 2 113
She is decisive to the point of impulsiveness when acting on information she believes concerns the future. After learning from the diary that Lin Fan will become a source of catastrophe, she resolves to eliminate him and attacks him during the Dao Yi Sacred Sect’s disciple assessment without entertaining his explanation. 24 25
Beneath her reserved demeanor, Ling Qianxue is emotionally transparent in matters involving Su Changqing. She is easily flustered by his praise, worries about his interactions with Xia Qingxuan, and openly regards herself as part of his inner circle after staying at Sacred Son Peak. 184 303 311 Despite her jealousy and rivalry with the other women, she later accepts them as companions and welcomes Xuan Qianlu as a sister. 379 461
