Background / History
Qian Renxue operates within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace under the identity of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. After learning that Dugu Bo had personally intervened in Fang Xuan's affairs, she ordered an investigation into Fang Xuan's background, recognizing that someone valued by a Title Douluo could not be ignored 15.
She values Fang Xuan both as an independent eighteen-year-old Soul King and as a link to Dugu Bo. After meeting him at his wedding, she began laying the groundwork for cooperation, particularly against Tang San and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect 21 27.
Her central personal ambition is to obtain the Angel God's inheritance. Once Fang Xuan reveals that he knows her true identity and claims he can assist with that inheritance, she abandons the pretense between them and makes him a direct partner in her plans 59.
