Background

Song Miaomiao grew up alongside Song Zhizhi in the Song Household and was repeatedly praised as a once-in-a-thousand-years genius, while the original Song Zhizhi was demeaned through comparisons to her. Song Yin deliberately intensified the original owner’s jealousy, using Miaomiao’s exceptional talent as a means of manipulation. 7 152

When Song Zhizhi attempted to use Spring Day Powder against her, Miaomiao confronted her, administered a Heart-Clearing Pill to temporarily suppress the poison, and warned her to reform. 1 She initially believed Song Zhizhi had acted of her own will. The truth later emerged: Song Yin had used a Soul-Devouring Gu to control the original Song Zhizhi and force the scheme. Miaomiao ultimately learned that both she and Song Zhizhi had been deceived. 155 157

Appearance

Song Miaomiao is an exceptionally beautiful, aloof young woman whose appearance is compared to a moon goddess. She commonly wears white robes and carries a cool, composed bearing. 1 14

• Skin described as smooth as congealed cream. 14
• Bright, moonlike eyes and willow-leaf brows. 14
• A cold, fairy-like beauty associated with her ice spiritual root. 14 19
• Her presence can create a palpable chill through her ice spiritual energy. 19

Personality

Song Miaomiao is calm, disciplined, and highly competitive. Seeing Song Zhizhi reach the Sword Sect’s summit before her motivates her to train harder rather than complain, and she later maintains an extreme cultivation regimen through persistent effort. 14 154

She is principled and impartial in her role with the Enforcement Hall, protecting weaker disciples regardless of rank. Although initially wary of Song Zhizhi’s changed behavior, she gradually recognizes her sincerity and becomes protective of her. 14 29 57

Her cultivation of the Heartless Sword Dao does not prevent her from caring deeply about those close to her. She offers to help Song Zhizhi escape when she believes her marriage is coerced, comforts her family after Xingling City’s destruction, and helps care for Jiujiu. 57 150 161
