Background / History
Ice Empress chose to face heavenly tribulations rather than cultivate as a human at the hundred-thousand-year threshold. She describes that decision as effectively her only available path. Her pursuit of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was partly practical: she believed consuming him would have enabled her to reach the four-hundred-thousand-year realm earlier 114 146.
After sensing a change in Snow Empress's aura, she entered the Ice Crystal Palace and found Xu Lanqing beside the crystal enclosing her friend. Suspicious of his involvement, she initially refused to let him leave until Snow Empress awakened. She eventually accepted his proposal to shelter them in Electrolux's Undead Plane, where she could help protect Snow Empress 24 25.
Before leaving the Far North, she arranged for Xiaobai to accompany the group and the Titan Snow Demon King to remain behind. This avoided leaving two rival beasts together without Snow Empress's authority to keep them in check 27.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, she cleared the poisonous surroundings, defeated the valley's plant-type Soul Beasts, and secured their guarded book for Xu Lanqing. When Niu Tian's party subsequently demanded that Xu Lanqing be handed over, she and Snow Empress refused and deployed their fusion domain 56 58 59 62.
Her relationship with Xu Lanqing developed from mistrust and harsh training into affection. She initially resented his romance with Snow Empress but accepted her friend's happiness. Snow Empress later encouraged Xu Lanqing to acknowledge Bing'er's feelings; he subsequently introduced Ice Empress publicly as his wife 78 87 133 148 154.
In Mingdu, Ice Empress helped investigate warehouse defenses, captured Feng Ling, and infiltrated the Qingse Hotel with Ma Xiaotao. After learning about the High-Energy Compression Array Soul Tools beneath the Trade Towers, she targeted the North Trade Tower and sealed its dangerous device in ice 148 164 166 178 180 183.
She later supported Xu Lanqing's proposal to save a dying Evil Eye Tyrant as Jiang Nannan's Soul Spirit. After accompanying him during operations in the Heaven Dou Empire, she reunited with Snow Empress and returned to the Far North for the journey to the Ice God Palace 196 202 216 218.
Appearance
- Hair: Long, ink-green hair cascading down her back 24.
- Eyes: Amber and crystalline, resembling gemstones 24.
- Facial markings: Four emerald-green demonic patterns on each side of her face 24.
- Skin: Snow-white and translucent, with faint green light beneath its surface 24.
- Clothing: Initially wears a long emerald-green dress; later appears in a white-and-green dress 24 58 212.

Personality
Ice Empress is proud, forceful, and openly distrustful of humans. She dismisses human cunning and deceit, threatens opponents readily, and enjoys demonstrating her strength. Nevertheless, she understands the obligation to repay kindness and treats Snow Empress's concerns as her own 25 49 59 146.
Her aggression does not prevent restraint. While freezing the poisonous forest around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, she leaves most of its plant-type Soul Beasts alive. She also avoids fighting Long Xiaoyao because she recognizes that she cannot defeat him 56 153.
With those closest to her, Bing'er becomes affectionate, jealous, and easily embarrassed. She reluctantly accepts Snow Empress's happiness with Xu Lanqing, feeds her pastries during an outing, and eventually begins considering Xu Lanqing's interests as her own 87 133 196 216.

Naming Note
- The supplied translation inconsistently uses Ice Empress for both Bing'er and Snow Empress. Bing'er is the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion (冰帝) with emerald-green hair and amber eyes; Snow Empress is her distinct companion, also called Snow Maiden 24 62 118.
