Background

Miao Yue'er is Yue Qingshan's granddaughter and the person most responsible for Bedrock Court's daily affairs, as her elderly grandfather largely leaves administration to her. She assesses incoming disciples, introduces recruits to the court's rules, distributes introductory materials, and explains sect benefits. 66 67

Her father, Miao Lingfeng, was the prime minister's son and was betrothed to Great Xia's Ninth Princess despite having formed a family with Yue Qingshan's daughter. After discovering Miao Yue'er's existence, the princess had an Extreme Cold Force implanted in the child, intending to cripple her permanently. Miao Yue'er’s mother subsequently disappeared in search of Miao Lingfeng, leaving Yue'er in Yue Qingshan's care. 84

Miao Yue'er had reached the Pill Embrace Realm at sixteen, but the cold force prevents stable cultivation. Exerting both of her true qi types can cause her to lose consciousness, leaving her unable to advance beyond the Early Pill Embrace Realm for three years. 83 84

Appearance

Miao Yue'er is a slender young woman with lively eyes, delicate features, and a bright, expressive smile. Zhou Muyun initially compares her smile to that of his younger sister, Zhou Tong. 67

• Often wears bright padded dresses, including yellow, red, and light-blue outfits. 66 70 88 101
• Has worn her hair in twin ponytails, twin buns, horn braids, or a high tie. 66 76 101 132
• Her smile reveals distinctive small tiger teeth. 67
• Can appear markedly elegant in white gowns, with long black hair and an otherworldly bearing. 100 132

Personality

Miao Yue'er is playful, impish, and fond of teasing Zhou Muyun with the nickname “little blind man.” She enjoys provoking his flustered reactions, whether by charging him for medicinal food, mocking his ignorance of herbs, or insisting that he accompany her on outings. 70 73 100

Beneath this mischief, she is observant and capable. She recognizes the value of Zhou Muyun's perseverance, explains the cultivation requirements of Red Vein Grass, helps manage Bedrock Court’s affairs, and provides practical aid when he is injured or exhausted. 67 70 73

Her cheerful manner conceals profound loneliness over her missing parents and the condition imposed on her by the Ninth Princess. She gradually becomes more open with Zhou Muyun, admitting that she misses her family and accepting comfort from him. 84 101

Abilities & Skills

Dual True Qi

Miao Yue'er possesses two true qi attributes: earth, inherited through Heavy Earth Gate, and ice, inherited from her father.

• Combining ice and earth true qi gives her a foundation and combat power far beyond ordinary cultivators. 83
• She used dual true qi to kill the Pill Embrace retainer Uncle Hu and Qin Lie after their ambush. 82
• The implanted Extreme Cold Force destabilizes her cultivation; using both streams can make her faint. 82 84
• To reduce the risk, she can fight using only her earth-attributed Thick Earth True Qi. 113

Pill Embrace Combat

Despite her stalled cultivation, Miao Yue'er is a dangerous Early Pill Embrace martial artist.

• She can wield Zhou Muyun's 3,500-jin Coiling Dragon Staff one-handed without visibly circulating true qi. 82
• She fights with a soft sword and can suppress opponents using Thick Earth True Qi. 113
• Her dual-qi release was powerful enough to shock a Pill Embrace opponent before she dispatched him. 82

Herb and Sect Knowledge

Miao Yue'er has substantial practical knowledge of Bedrock Court and medicinal cultivation.

• Identifies Red Vein Grass and explains its need for a Blazing Earth Vein and Extreme Cold Water-treated seeds. 73
• Provides Zhou Muyun with a solution for tending the Red Vein Grass. 76
• Guides new disciples through Bedrock Court’s rules, housing, identity-token use, and cultivation resources. 67

Equipment / Items

• Soft sword — Used while circulating Thick Earth True Qi. 113
• Treasure armor — Lent to Zhou Muyun for his Ten-Thousand-Mile Marsh expedition; it protects him from Sun Xiuyan’s concealed blade attacks. 98
• Scarlet Flame Exquisite Fruits — Zhou Muyun secretly purchased these at auction for her, apparently to support treatment connected to her condition. 81 82 84

Relationships

• Yue Qingshan — Her grandfather, guardian, and Bedrock Court’s master. He is deeply protective of her and has spent years seeking ways to counter the Extreme Cold Force. 66 83 84
• Zhou Muyun — Junior brother, trusted ally, and eventual mutual love interest. Their relationship grows from teasing companionship to mutual confession in Yunlin County. 67 100 101 133
• Miao Lingfeng — Her father; the prime minister's son and source of her ice-attributed true qi. His political circumstances led to the tragedy inflicted on Miao Yue'er. 83 84
• Yue Qingshan's daughter — Her mother, who disappeared after leaving Miao Yue'er with Yue Qingshan in order to seek Miao Lingfeng. 83 84
• Yang Guo — A former Bedrock Court disciple who knew her from childhood; she calls him “Uncle Yang.” 110
