Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruitment of Li Hanche

Xue Qinghe first takes notice of Li Hanche after his awakening of the Dark Nether Ice Soul Spear. He intervenes against Salas's attempt to recruit the boy for Spirit Hall, arguing that Li Hanche is a Heaven Dou citizen who should attend the Heaven Dou Imperial Junior Soul Master Academy. 2 3

He brings Li Hanche away from the Martial Soul Temple and provides him with a luxurious residence, money, and maidservants. Although he publicly frames this as support for a gifted child, Qian Renxue's original intention is to use Li Hanche's recruitment to provoke Bibi Dong and demonstrate that Heaven Dou can offer what Spirit Hall cannot. 4 5

Xue Qinghe subsequently introduces himself as Li Hanche's elder brother, supports his enrollment, and gradually becomes a genuine protective figure in Li Hanche's life. 5 20 27

First Soul Ring Expedition

Xue Qinghe personally accompanies Li Hanche to the Far North so that the child can obtain an ice-attribute first soul ring. He correctly anticipates that the region is the most suitable hunting ground for Li Hanche's martial soul and brings Snake Lance Douluo as protection. 21 22

Although Xue Qinghe allows Li Hanche to undertake the dangerous hunt alone for practical experience, he closely observes the battle and catches him after he successfully obtains his millennium soul ring. 22 26

Afterward, he warns Li Hanche to keep the true age of his first soul ring secret, recognizing that such a revelation would invite unwanted attention and danger. 27

Patronage and Political Support

As Li Hanche's ability becomes increasingly extraordinary, Xue Qinghe uses his authority to protect him from external investigation. The Crown Prince's personal token deters those seeking to investigate the ghost-masked child winning repeatedly in the Great Soul Arena. 33 38

He also coordinates with Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin to secure resources for Li Hanche's second soul ring. In secret, he writes to Qian Daoliu to request a ten-thousand-year head soul bone for Li Hanche, demonstrating that his concern has gone beyond the original political calculation. 44 47

Xue Qinghe continues supporting Li Hanche during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, including acting as the Heaven Dou delegation's chief coordinator during its trip to Spirit City. 55 57

Growing Intimacy with Li Hanche

Following a three-year separation, Li Hanche returns to the crown prince's residence and resumes his familiar, often argumentative relationship with Xue Qinghe. Their interactions become increasingly personal, particularly after Li Hanche admits that he used Xue Qinghe's name while interacting with other women. 99 100

Li Hanche gradually entrusts Xue Qinghe with his greatest secret, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and his qualification for the Sea God's trials. Xue Qinghe accepts this revelation without judgment and immediately helps locate Sea God Island by sending Snake Lance Douluo to Qian Daoliu. 102 103

Their relationship is complicated by Qian Renxue's concealed identity. Li Hanche kisses Xue Qinghe while drunk, and Qian Renxue struggles with the implications of her feelings while still wearing the crown prince's male disguise. 123 129

Before Li Hanche departs for Sea God Island, they share a bed at the crown prince's residence, and Li Hanche creates a two-person Chat Group Soul Tool so they can remain in constant contact across the continent. 156 157

Confession and Acceptance

While on Sea God Island, Li Hanche openly confesses to Xue Qinghe through the Chat Group, declaring that he loves Xue Qinghe regardless of whether the crown prince is a man or the Heaven Dou heir. Qian Renxue is deeply moved by his acceptance of the identity she has been forced to maintain for years and confesses her feelings in return. 163

Their long-distance exchanges continue throughout Li Hanche's Sea God trials. Xue Qinghe follows his progress, expresses pride when he gains his hundred-thousand-year fourth soul ring, and waits for his return. 159 168 178

Conflict with Bibi Dong

Bibi Dong learns that information concerning her past relationship with Yu Xiaogang has been publicly spread through channels tied to the crown prince's residence. She travels personally to Heaven Dou to confront Xue Qinghe. 171

Xue Qinghe denies responsibility with outward politeness while making no effort to hide her defiance. Despite Xue Ye's concern that the incident will intensify the conflict between Heaven Dou and Spirit Hall, she remains resolute in opposing Bibi Dong. 171

Qian Renxue later confronts Bibi Dong directly over her past with Qian Xunji and the circumstances surrounding Qian Renxue's birth, forcing both mother and daughter to face long-suppressed grievances. 173

Engagement and Wedding to Li Hanche

Li Hanche publicly proposes to Xue Qinghe during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, presenting three hundred-thousand-year soul bones and three immortal-grade herbs as engagement gifts. 192

He later reveals that marrying Xue Qinghe is the requirement of his Seventh Trial of the Sea God and gives the crown prince a golden card as a formal betrothal gift. 193 194

Qian Renxue's family decides that she and Li Hanche should hold two ceremonies: a public wedding with her appearing as Xue Qinghe, and a private ceremony in which she can marry under her true identity. 208

Xue Qinghe makes final preparations in the crown prince's bedchamber before joining Li Hanche. They leave hand in hand, mount white horses, and ride through Heaven Dou City's main streets amid blessings, flower petals, and wedding candies thrown by the public. 209

At the imperial palace plaza, Xue Qinghe and Li Hanche walk the white marble path to the wedding platform beneath a spectacle of golden-blue light, dragons, phoenixes, and warm snowflakes. They exchange vows and rings before Bai Baoshan declares the ceremony complete. 209

Li Hanche then embraces Xue Qinghe and kisses her forehead, prompting the divine display overhead to become a rain of flowers. Immediately afterward, the Seventh Trial of the Sea God announces its completion: “Marry Xue Qinghe. Complete!” 209

Revelation as Qian Renxue

Following the public ceremony, Qian Renxue prepares a private wedding ceremony in a white gown. Before Li Hanche, Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, the Worship Hall elders, Hu Liena, Baiwei, Qingluo, and others, she finally reveals herself as Qian Renxue: Bibi Dong's daughter, Spirit Hall's young mistress, and the person who had always been Xue Qinghe. 216

She later reveals her identity to Li Hanche's companions in Vast Sea City. She explains that she impersonated Xue Qinghe for years because of the political struggle between Spirit Hall and Heaven Dou, while Li Hanche openly affirms her as his wife. 222 223

The revelation gives Qian Renxue a sense of relief and belonging. Rather than rejecting her for being Spirit Hall's young mistress, Li Hanche's companions accept her as Sister Xue and celebrate her marriage. 223

It is later clarified that the real Xue Qinghe died in infancy and that Qian Renxue had been sent into the Heaven Dou Imperial Family as a child to replace him. 243

Divine Descent

Xue Qinghe stands with Li Hanche at the center of the wedding platform when a golden-blue divine pillar descends upon them. Poseidon arrives alongside Asura and the Ice God, who have come to witness Li Hanche following the completion of his Sea God trial. 209
