Ye Qingshuang

Biodata

Background / History

Ye Qingshuang was the daughter of Ye Lin, patriarch of the Ye Clan, and was engaged to Lei Xin, the eldest son of the Lei Clan. After discovering her Buddha-Demon Dao Heart, Lei Xin used a special treasure to forcibly exchange his own A-rank talent for her unique SSS-rank talent 44.

Her parents declared war on the Lei Clan, but the Ye Clan suffered a devastating defeat. Its members were tortured and executed. Ye Lin escaped with the ten-year-old Qingshuang and fled into Great Yuan, where he encountered Han Chen, the former headmaster of Falling Moon Academy. Before dying, Ye Lin entrusted his daughter to Han Chen and sealed her memories from before the age of ten so that she could live without her clan’s hatred 44.

She later became Falling Moon Academy’s dean and a mid-stage King Realm cultivator. Her presence helped Falling Moon City withstand repeated harassment from the Four Great Bandits 21 22 40.

Appearance

• Face and eyes: Described as exceptionally beautiful, with captivating peach-blossom eyes 21.
• Build: A voluptuous figure and a mature allure that Yun Che contrasts with Qin Keyi’s beauty 21.
• Hair: Raven-black hair, adorned with a simple jade hairpin 49.
• Clothing: Wears green when rescued in the Wuxia Mountains; later appears in a plain white dress 20 21 49.
• Accessories: Jade-colored earrings shaped like osmanthus blossoms; she dislikes extravagant clothing and jewelry 49.

Personality

Ye Qingshuang has a reputation for being aloof and sparing with words. She rarely socializes outside cultivation and academy business. Although she generally leaves routine administration to others, she remembers instructors’ faces and recalls Yun Che’s portrait after only briefly seeing his appointment paperwork 21 43.

She remains defiant even when gravely wounded, attempting to fight the Demon Wolves surrounding her. During Lu Luxiu’s pursuit, she offers to sacrifice her blood essence to give Yun Che a chance to escape. After he saves her, she expresses her gratitude directly and warns him against exposing valuable techniques or recklessly confronting King Realm opponents 21 22 23 43.

Around Yun Che, she shows a more playful side: teasing him about his admiring gaze, deliberately provoking Qin Yelan’s suspicions, and smiling when she learns she is the Silver Shuttle’s first passenger besides its owner 49 50.

Trivia

• Other academy members initially assume she rescued Yun Che. She leaves the misunderstanding uncorrected rather than expose his unexplained knowledge of Thunder Shadow Divine Movement 23.
