Background & History
Ying Huanhuan is the daughter of Dao Sect Sect Master Ying Xuanzi and the younger sister of Ying Xiaoxiao. Before her past-life identity becomes known, she is regarded within the sect as its cherished little princess. Her father had recognized from her childhood that she was a Reincarnator, but concealed this from her in hopes that she could live happily without awakening into someone else. 255 263
She first encounters Mu Chen at the Heaven and Desolation Sect's Hall Selection Stage. The Ice Ancestral Symbol within Mu Chen resonates with her, leaving both with a sense of familiarity. Mistaking him for the Hundred Dynasties Great War champion, she attempts to recruit him to the Heaven Hall, but he declines because he has already agreed to join Wu Dao's Desolation Hall. 254
Her contact with Mu Chen and the artifacts associated with the Symbol Ancestor accelerates her reincarnation spirituality. The Great Desolation Tablet causes icy blue light to flash in her eyes, while later memories reveal familiar energies within Mu Chen: the Ancestral Symbols, Ancestral Stone, Universe Ancient Formation, and Great Desolation Tablet. Frightened that awakening may erase her present self, she receives reassurance from Mu Chen that she will remain Ying Huanhuan. 262 263 265
In the Extreme North, Ying Huanhuan is drawn to the Ice Ancestral Symbol. It recognizes her as its master immediately, causing her hair to turn ice-blue and granting her overwhelming ice-attribute power. She later learns and accepts her identity as the Ice Master, though she consistently insists that the title belongs to her past life rather than replacing her current identity. 266 340
Appearance
Ying Huanhuan is initially depicted as a tall, graceful young woman in a red dress. As her reincarnation spirituality awakens, her dark hair can become flowing ice-blue, accompanied by a frigid aura and frost forming around her. 254 265 337
- Bright, lively eyes and a mischievous expression in her earlier appearances. 257
- Flawless jade-like hands, frequently shown playing the zither. 254 263
- An ice-blue reincarnation mark appears on her forehead during early awakening. 265
- Can consciously change her hair between ice-blue and raven black. 337
- Her fully awakened presence is described as an ice mountain: expressionless, cold, and difficult for others to approach. 337 348
Personality
Before her awakening, Ying Huanhuan is lively, curious, blunt, and playful. She freely visits Mu Chen for his cooking, speaks without much consideration for formalities, and is comfortable treating him like a longtime friend because of the familiarity she senses from him. 254 257
The return of her past-life memories makes her more serious and introspective. She fears becoming a stranger to herself, yet refuses to surrender her present identity to the Ice Master's legacy. Even after others begin addressing her as the Ice Lord, she firmly identifies herself as Ying Huanhuan. 265 340
She inherits the Ice Master's pride and becomes increasingly decisive in battle. Her emotional side remains intact, particularly in her jealousy toward Ling Qingzhu and protectiveness of her relationship with Mu Chen. 268 269 338
Abilities & Skills
Ice Master Reincarnation
Ying Huanhuan possesses the memories, talent, and spiritual foundation of the Ice Master, the strongest of the Eight Ancient Lords and the one considered most likely to reach the Ancestral Realm. 254 263
- Awakening restores fragments of her past-life memories and dramatically improves her cultivation speed. 265 266
- Her reincarnation spirituality changes her appearance and temperament, especially through ice-blue hair, cold eyes, and an increasingly detached aura. 265 337
- At her recovered peak, she passes three Reincarnation Tribulations at once and later reaches the Ancestral Realm. 348 353
- She has mastered the Supreme Power to some degree, as did the Eight Ancient Lords and the Symbol Ancestor. 340
Ice Ancestral Symbol
The Ice Ancestral Symbol recognizes Ying Huanhuan as its master in the Extreme North, granting her immense cold-attribute power. 266
- Releases cold intense enough to surpass the Extreme North's natural chill and force Mu Chen to activate the Devouring Ancestral Symbol for protection. 266
- Freezes targets instantly; she immobilizes and shatters Yuan Cang, freezing even his soul into fragments. 270
- Can freeze and destroy demonic attacks before they reach her. 342
- Allows her to contend with opponents who have passed one Reincarnation Tribulation despite her incomplete recovery. 342
- She later gives the Ice Ancestral Symbol to Mu Chen, judging her restored strength sufficient without it. 349
Heaven Phoenix Zither
Ying Huanhuan wields the Heaven Phoenix Zither, a Pure Yuan Treasure associated with the Heaven Hall. 264 267
- Produces crimson phoenix-like sound waves capable of dissolving Magic Sound Mountain's Owl Sound Array and annihilating the ghost owls covering the mountain. 264
- Its large-scale use exhausts her, leaving her pale and requiring recovery afterward. 264
- She returns it to Qi Lei, who permits her to keep it in recognition of her cultivation progress. 267
Zither Performance
Beyond combat, Ying Huanhuan plays the zither as a hobby and a means of expression. Her music is soothing enough for Mu Chen to fall asleep while listening. 263
Equipment / Weapons / Items

- Ice Ancestral Symbol — Formerly her ancestral symbol; recognized her as master before she later entrusted it to Mu Chen. 266 349
Relationships

- Ying Xuanzi — Father and Dao Sect Sect Master. He fears that the Ice Master's awakening may change his daughter beyond recognition, while also protecting her during dangerous excursions. 263 265 267
- Ying Xiaoxiao — Elder sister. She worries about Ying Huanhuan's safety and intervenes when her jealousy toward Ling Qingzhu becomes too obvious. 255 268 269
- Ling Qingzhu — Rival in love and fellow exceptional cultivator. Ying Huanhuan challenges her to a spar and resents Mu Chen's visits to the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace because of her. 268 269 338
- Zhou Tong — Senior brother from the Dao Sect and a figure connected to her Ice Master legacy. He approves of Mu Chen as her match. 337
- Lord of Darkness — Senior sister from her past life as an Ancient Lord. The Lord of Darkness reacts with joy upon recognizing her revived junior sister. 343
- Qi Lei — Heaven Hall elder associated with the Heaven Phoenix Zither; he allows Ying Huanhuan to retain the treasure after she returns it. 267
