Background / History

Born Ji Ruxue of the ancient Ji Family, she cultivated largely through her own efforts rather than relying on her family. Before her transformation, she was known primarily for her status as a Heavenly Maiden rather than exceptional combat achievements. 410

After winning the Heavenly Maiden title, she planned to leave the Ji Family. The family elders instead arranged her marriage to Xuanyuan Liuyun of the Xuanyuan Family for political gain, despite her opposition. 430 431

Taishu Jing's guidance and Little White's recognition became pivotal to her change. After receiving the Sword Origin Purple Crystal and Thousand Mechanisms Diagram, Ruxue used them to initiate a Transformation, seeking the strength to decide her own future. 406 430 436

One month later, she completed the God Slaying Sword Body and publicly renounced the Ji Family. Taking her mother's surname, she declared herself Nangong Ruxue and left to join Taishu Jing and Little White at True Dragon Sacred Mountain. 431 436

Appearance

Following her transformation, Nangong Ruxue's appearance changed markedly from her time as Ji Ruxue, giving her a more enchanting yet dangerous presence. 434 436

• Purplish-red long hair. 436 437
• Purple gauze dress. 436
• Purple or purplish-red eyes that can flash red when her killing intent rises. 405 431
• Graceful figure and transcendent aura. 436
• Her refined appearance contrasts with the chilling, abyss-like danger perceived by others. 436

Personality

Nangong Ruxue was initially reserved, humble, and uncertain about expressing her feelings for Taishu Jing. Beneath that restraint, she possessed strong pride and the determination to rise beyond the limits imposed on her. 409 410

Her break with the Ji Family made her markedly more decisive, cold, and self-assured. She rejects familial authority, political marriage, and Xuanyuan Liuyun's unwanted pursuit without hesitation. 431 435 445

Despite her affinity for slaughter, she becomes warm, playful, and affectionate around Taishu Jing and Little White. Their support helps her contain her killing intent and regain a more natural demeanor. 437 439
