Background / History

Protection agreement

Ice Empress comes from the Extreme North Land, where she commands the Ice Azure Scorpion clan. Lin Ye’s future self negotiates a bargain with her and Snow Empress: they will protect his younger self for 100 years in exchange for Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow afterward. Ice Empress unsuccessfully tries to obtain the promised payment early; she cannot read the unfamiliar characters on his parchment 2 155.

Early travels with Lin Ye

While accompanying Lin Ye into human society, Ice Empress learns to use chopsticks and develops an enthusiasm for human cuisine. At the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, her power intimidates Dugu Bo. She harvests the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass for Lin Ye, handling its extreme cold without discomfort 6 7 8.

She later freezes a three-thousand-year Cyclops, leaving it helpless for Lin Ye to kill and obtain his first soul ring. When Lin Ye identifies Tang San as his rival, she volunteers to eliminate both him and Tang Hao. She also helps retrieve Ah Yin’s hidden soul bone by punching apart the cave’s stone wall 15 16 28 35.

Conflict over Snow Empress

Ice Empress’s attachment to Snow Empress makes her hostile to Lin Ye’s romantic advances toward her. She interrupts their embrace at the Rose Hotel and later invites Zhu Zhuqing to dinner in an attempt to redirect his interest. Her plan fails when Lin Ye openly says that he still prefers Snow Empress 49 72.

Lin Ye subsequently directs unwanted advances toward Ice Empress herself. She repeatedly transforms into her scorpion form to keep him at a distance. During an encounter with Ning Rongrong, she briefly acts affectionate toward him specifically to discourage Rongrong’s interest 72 89 106 110.

Ice marrow and later companionship

Lin Ye gives Ice Empress and Snow Empress access to the Mysterious Ice Cave long before the agreed payment deadline. Ice Empress initially conceals her gratitude but ultimately expresses her happiness. The marrow greatly accelerates her cultivation and helps her survive her 400,000-year tribulation 69 129.

Before Lin Ye’s departure for the City of Slaughter, she questions whether he must undertake the dangerous journey. Although she denies worrying, her concern is evident. Lin Ye uses that fear of losing him to pressure her into accepting greater intimacy, and their relationship becomes romantic 137. She subsequently prepares to leave with him 138.

After more than a year apart, Ice Empress is delighted by Lin Ye’s return. She watches Snow Empress’s 700,000-year tribulation with deep concern but cannot intervene. Later, she remains involved in household affairs, delivering Zhu Qing’s box containing two ten-year soul bones to Lin Ye 149 171.

Personality

Ice Empress is proud, quick-tempered, and fond of teasing Lin Ye. She mocks his inability to use a soul tool before awakening his martial soul and regularly answers his provocations with threats or insults. Her defensive manner also conceals gratitude and concern: she struggles to acknowledge the ice marrow gift openly and denies worrying about his journey to the City of Slaughter 2 69 137.

Food and money are strong motivators for her. She eagerly anticipates meals, asks Lin Ye to fund her outings despite being reluctant to spend her own money, and becomes notably cooperative after receiving coins 8 35 48. Her protectiveness extends to both Snow Empress and Lin Ye, though her attachment to Snow Empress initially places her in direct romantic competition with him 28 49 72.
