Background / History

Ice Empress arrived at the Ice Crystal Palace after locating a Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus for Snow Empress, intending to help her closest companion prepare for the seven-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation. She was stunned to find Snow Empress caring for the infant Ling Xiao, then learned that he was an innate lightning spirit whose potential could exceed Snow Empress’s own. 4 5

Initially calling Ling Xiao a “little burden,” she became alarmed that Snow Empress was spending soul power to sustain him while facing a dangerous tribulation herself. Once Ling Xiao’s inheritance revealed that he could break the shackles of heavenly tribulations, Ice Empress accepted the possibility that both Empresses could avoid their former fates. 5 8

She entrusted members of her Ice Jade Scorpion Clan to Ling Xiao’s tribulation-assistance plan, despite the danger involved, so that he could absorb stronger heavenly lightning and grow. 12 13 When Ling Xiao was gravely injured in a lightning incident, she searched the battlefield for the responsible attacker and vowed vengeance even if the culprit had already died. 19

After receiving Ling Xiao’s help through her four-hundred-thousand-year tribulation, she later cultivated at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The immortal herbs there raised her cultivation to 490,000 years and removed the bottleneck that Sky Dream Iceworm had expected to force her into becoming Huo Yuhao’s martial soul. 29 44 45

Appearance

Ice Empress appears as a young woman whose beauty is sharp and flamboyant rather than Snow Empress’s cool aloofness. 4

• Emerald-green hair tied in distinctive twin ponytails. 4
• Emerald-green eyes. 4
• Often wears an emerald-green dress. 4
• Her unleashed power spreads jade-green frost across the ice plains. 62

Personality

Ice Empress is proud, blunt, and emotionally expressive. Her twin ponytails visibly bristle when angered, particularly when Ling Xiao teases her about being shorter or weaker than him. 31 32 35

Despite calling Ling Xiao a burden and maintaining a combative attitude toward him, she is deeply protective of him. She immediately rushed to his side when he was endangered, angrily investigated the attacker, and later declared that anyone seeking to hurt him would have to get past her first. 18 19 35

Her bond with Snow Empress is intimate and sisterly, built over countless years. Ice Empress can be spoiled and dependent around her, but she also supports Snow Empress’s decisions without hesitation. Her failed attempt to claim the Acacia Heartbroken Red confirms that her feelings for Snow Empress are sisterly rather than romantic. 5 20 42 43
