Background / History
Qian Renxue is the daughter of the former Supreme Pontiff and spent six years undercover beside the Heaven Dou imperial heir, Xue Qinghe. To secure his position, she killed the Second and Third Princes; after Xue Qinghe became Crown Prince, she killed him as well and took his identity through disguise. Her original purpose was to win the Pope's approval. 1 19
After saving the orphan Ouyang Ling, she invited him to call her “Sister Xue'er” and took him under her protection. Recognizing the value of his Sea God Dragon martial soul, she personally arranged resources, training, and soul-ring hunts for him. 2 3 6
Her confrontation with Ouyang Ling over her past forced her to acknowledge that the Pope did not recognize her. She chose to sever her emotional attachment to her mother, rely on the family members who cared for her, and pursue control of Heaven Dou for herself rather than for Spirit Hall. 19 20 22
