Background / History
In her previous life, Meng Ruoxue was the Heavenly Mandate Empress, a Great Emperor who ruled from the Mountain of Destiny through the Great Dao of Destiny. She and the Sky Demoness fought over an extraterrestrial treasure; the treasure shattered, destroying both of their bodies. Each retained half of it, allowing them to reincarnate. 16
A painful memory from her past concerns Wu Xie, an orphan raised among bandits. After bandits massacred her village and killed her parents, Wu Xie secretly cared for her despite her cold treatment of him. He ultimately sacrificed his life by using a cultivation technique to give her the means to cultivate; her Destiny Saint Body awakened, and she exterminated the bandits with destiny power. His death left her with lasting guilt and shaped the icy exterior she later showed the world. 68
In her current life, she became the daughter of Great Xia's Prime Minister, Meng Changzhong. Though celebrated as the dynasty's foremost beauty among the younger generation, she remained secluded and dismissive of prospective suitors and princely politics. 16 26
The Sky Demoness placed a Nirvana Curse on her, barring her from entering the Nirvana Realm without the Source of Nirvana. To remove it, Meng Ruoxue initially sought to create the source by refining a living Nirvana Realm cultivator, selecting Yan Song as her target at Crescent Moon Valley. 17 40 43
Appearance
Meng Ruoxue is described as a peerlessly beautiful young woman with a refined, cold, and unapproachable bearing. She is widely regarded as the most beautiful woman of Great Xia's younger generation. 16
- Often wears a blue long dress. 16 44
- Has delicate eyebrows, a slender waist, and an elegant figure. 16
- Her eyes and expression are frequently marked by indifference or cold resolve. 16 43
- Concealed her face with a veil while waiting for Yan Song in Crescent Moon Valley. 44
Personality
Meng Ruoxue is exceptionally proud, aloof, and difficult to impress. Her former status as the Heavenly Mandate Empress and her extraordinary cultivation led her to believe that the younger generation of Great Xia had little worth in her eyes. 16 61
Her coldness is rooted in regret over Wu Xie's sacrifice. Once she confirms that Chu Yun is Wu Xie's reincarnation, she openly apologizes for her treatment of him and acknowledges his importance to her. 68 70
Despite her reserve, she is pragmatic and politically capable. She anticipates enemy retaliation, delegates military responses, unifies major holy lands under Great Xia, and later balances local and outside forces entering the Origin Realm. 200 326 832
She can also be ruthless when protecting those she values or pursuing critical information. During the interrogation of Juepeng the Demon Emperor, she ordered the extraction of his Demon Core and escalated the torture when he refused to cooperate. 246
