Background / History
Born with innate level 20 soul power, Qian Renxue was regarded as Martial Soul Hall's greatest genius and the hope of the Qian family. She operated undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, bearing both political responsibilities and the expectations of Martial Soul Hall. 1 2
Five years before the story, her soul power began vanishing inexplicably. It fell from the Soul King realm to Soul Elder, then eventually to level 3 despite cultivation, heavenly treasures, examinations by Martial Soul Hall, and even Qian Daoliu's Angel God's baptism. 1
After Qian Daoliu announced his intent to strip her soul bones and transfer the Angel God Suit to Qian Ye, Qian Renxue retreated into despair. Ling Xiao then revealed himself as the remnant soul in her sea of consciousness and admitted that his presence had caused her power loss. Though furious, she accepted his offer of compensation and knelt to become his disciple in pursuit of restoring her cultivation. 1 2 3
Ling Xiao first helped evolve her Martial Soul rather than immediately restoring her soul power. The resulting Twelve-Winged Angel restored the elders' interest in her potential, but Qian Renxue concealed that her cultivation had not recovered, taking private satisfaction in their renewed disappointment after years of neglect. 6 7 8
She later returned to Heaven Dou City as Xue Qinghe, visited the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Ling Xiao, and shifted her priorities away from court administration toward cultivation and combat training. Ling Xiao created body doubles to preserve the Xue Qinghe identity while she trained and fought publicly as Fei Xue. 10 22
Appearance
Qian Renxue is a striking young woman with golden hair. While acting as Xue Qinghe or competing as Fei Xue, she uses disguises to conceal her identity. 10 22
- Possesses a divine Angel Martial Soul that evolved into a Twelve-Winged Angel. 6 7
- Uses a masculine Crown Prince identity, Xue Qinghe, for her Heaven Dou infiltration. 9 19
- Adopts the arena identity Fei Xue during wagered matches. 24 37
- Her long, slightly curled golden hair is used by Ling Xiao to create a sentient Xue Qinghe body double. 22
Personality
Qian Renxue begins the story devastated by the loss of her cultivation and by what she sees as her family's abandonment. Her years of forced composure under political pressure give way to open rage when she learns that Ling Xiao caused her decline. 1 2
She is determined, proud, and unwilling to surrender what she considers hers. During the Martial Soul evolution, she resolves to become strong enough that no one can take anything from her again. 6 This resolve grows into a rebellious streak: after hiding the truth of her recovery plan from the elders, she enjoys watching their expectations collapse. 8
Under Ling Xiao's guidance, she becomes increasingly assertive. She challenges him when he oversteps her boundaries, yet trusts his instruction enough to devote herself to arduous cultivation and combat training. 17 21 34 She also shows consideration for others, apologizing to Shui Bing'er after injuring her and providing a recovery pill. 40

Story Role / Major Arcs
Fall from Genius Status
Qian Renxue's disappearing soul power reduces her from Martial Soul Hall's premier prodigy to level 3. Qian Daoliu's intended transfer of the Angel God Suit to Qian Ye leaves her feeling betrayed and expendable. 1
Ling Xiao's Disciple
After discovering Ling Xiao in her sea of consciousness, she accepts him as her teacher in exchange for a path to recover her cultivation. She gathers rare materials, undergoes a medicinal-bath refinement, and evolves her Martial Soul. 2 3 4 6
Twelve-Winged Angel and Concealed Recovery
The Twelve-Winged Angel manifestation restores her symbolic value to the Qian family, but her soul power remains depleted. Rather than reveal Ling Xiao's involvement, she hides her plans from the elders and returns to Heaven Dou. 7 8 9
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
Ling Xiao guides her to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, takes control of her body to confront Dugu Bo, and uses the site's resources to restore part of her strength. 10 12 14 17
Fei Xue's Arena Training
Using body doubles to maintain the Xue Qinghe identity, Qian Renxue trains as Fei Xue at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Focus on Cultivation
After reaching level 49, Qian Renxue states her intention to prioritize cultivation over imperial administration. Her swordsmanship impresses Sword Douluo, while Ning Fengzhi grows suspicious of Xue Qinghe's sudden change. 49 50
Trivia
- Qian Renxue's initial level-3 condition is severe enough that Snake Lance and Pufferfish Douluo must periodically transfer soul power to maintain her Xue Qinghe disguise. 10
- She initially mistakes Ling Xiao's use of her body for the cause of her extreme weakness, accusing him of giving her “kidney deficiency.” 17
- Her first arena-training objective is to achieve ten consecutive victories without using her Martial Soul or Soul Skills. 22
- The crowd's attitude toward Fei Xue changes from contempt to respect after repeated victories under those restrictions. 37
