Background

At six years old, Xu Nianshuang was the sole survivor when an Evil Soul Master massacred her village. A passing Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Regiment squad found her and brought her to a military camp, where her exceptional Ice Elemental Martial Soul and Level 9 innate Soul Power were awakened. Mu Mengyu personally took her in and avenged her village. 11

Her trauma and gratitude shaped her devotion to Mu Mengyu. Xu Nianshuang consciously modeled her cold, aloof manner after her benefactor and privately resolved to repay Mu Mengyu even at the cost of her life. 12

She became Xu Tianyang's fiancée and trained alongside him from childhood. Though initially distant, she gradually developed admiration and affection for him after repeatedly witnessing his strength and concern for her well-being. 9 12

Appearance

Xu Nianshuang is a blue-haired young woman with ice-blue or aqua-blue eyes, pale jade-like skin, and a cool, heroic bearing. Her beauty and battle record made her a widely admired academy figure known as the Ice Frost Goddess. 23 92

• Long ice-blue hair, usually worn loose down her back or simply tied behind her head. 23 28 92
• Often wears fitted blue-and-white or white combat attire. 12 92 100
• Commonly wears a blue or white military-style hat given to her by Xu Tianyang. 12 28 92
• Her cold elegance is compared to a snow lotus standing atop an iceberg. 28 92
• Carries herself like a peerless swordswoman when armed. 23

Personality

Xu Nianshuang is outwardly cold, reserved, and difficult to approach. During her early academy years, she kept to herself and had few companions, using her Ice Martial Soul to discourage unwanted familiarity. 6 12

Beneath this façade, she is deeply emotional, loyal, and capable of great warmth toward those she trusts. She is especially devoted to Mu Mengyu and openly affectionate with Xu Tianyang once their relationship develops. 12 178 240

She respects strength intensely, a trait rooted in her past and in Mu Mengyu's rescue of her village. She is fiercely competitive, aggressive in battle, and determined to forge her own path as a swordswoman despite doubts that a non-sword Martial Soul could support the sword path indefinitely. 12 16 23
