Background / History
Long Pursuit and Disappearance
Xue Tianfei’s family had operated a chamber of commerce for generations. Before Lu Qing’an disappeared, it ranked among the Demon Domain’s ten largest. During his thousand-year absence, she expanded her business interests throughout the domain 55.
She had pursued Lu Qing’an for tens of thousands of years, but he resisted the relationship because he wanted a peaceful family life and believed her fierce temperament and compulsive habits would make that impossible 15 405.
After his disappearance, she searched alongside Xiao Qingyi and continued after he abandoned the effort. Her search eventually took her to the Immortal Ruins, where Great Emperor experts besieged her after discovering that she was a powerful Demon Domain cultivator. She returned injured and required a lengthy recovery 13 15.
Reunion and Life in the Courtyard
Xiao Qingyi summoned Xue Tianfei after Lu Qing’an returned. Her usual cold composure collapsed at their reunion, revealing joy, resentment, and distress over his long absence. She confirmed that her injuries had fully healed 15 16.
Learning that Lu Qing’an had married, become a father, and divorced, she suggested that his daughters needed a stepmother. She began building relationships with Lu Zixuan and Lu Miaomiao through gifts, food, cultivation assistance, and everyday companionship 16 17 18 53.
Her conduct gradually changed Lu Qing’an’s opinion of her. He recognized qualities he had previously overlooked and questioned whether his earlier rejection had been shaped by prejudice. She eventually arranged to manage her chamber remotely through voice transmissions so that she could live in the courtyard 55 111 119.
She also joined efforts to rescue Xiao Qingyi and Wang Duanshan from the Cold Crystal Forbidden Land. When she failed to return by noon, Luo Danhong went after the missing group and likewise became unreachable 122.
Becoming Lu Qing’an’s Partner
Under the moonlight, Xue Tianfei told Lu Qing’an that loving him brought her happiness even without expecting anything in return. He subsequently acknowledged to himself that he had begun to like her 148.
Their expedition into the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss became a shared outing: they held hands, searched for Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotuses, and collected fifteen before descending farther. News that they were together soon spread throughout the Demon Domain 174 179 182.
Their affection became increasingly public. Lu Qing’an kissed her cheek during a gathering and invited her to return the gesture. Later, he insisted that she remain present during discussions concerning his ex-wife, making clear that she was no longer an outsider 234 395.
Training and Higher Continents
Concern that Xu Qingying might surpass her encouraged Xue Tianfei to cultivate more intensely. She persuaded Hu Xinxin to become her training partner, with the two agreeing to encourage and hold each other accountable 396 397.
On the Pill Cloud Continent, Xue Tianfei trained alongside Hu Xinxin and Wu Ciren. When fifteen Blood Flame Sect members surrounded them, the women underwent Divine Transformation and attacked first. Xue Tianfei challenged the strongest opponent, a Late Divine Realm cultivator, and was the first to finish her fight, leaving his head frozen and his soul extinguished 498 499.
As Lu Qing’an developed the Eternal Night Continent, infusions of Power of the Dao Source raised her cultivation potential. She reflected that her former talent ceiling had ceased to define her future and began considering realms she once would not have imagined reaching 573.
Marriage
Lu Qing’an and Xue Tianfei initially agreed to choose their wedding date after Li Cangxuan’s wedding. He later asked her to wait until he had raised the Eternal Night Continent to the Nine Heavens Continent’s level so that he could give her a grand ceremony; she agreed 432 556.
They married before guests from across the Nine Directions and Ten Domains. Xiao Qingyi and Huang Hao officiated, and the couple bowed to their friends, Xue Tianfei’s mother, and each other amid a spectacular heavenly phenomenon 756.
After their wedding night, Lu Qing’an disclosed his system to her, explaining that intimacy with her could award powerful treasures. She subsequently refined the Pool of Faith Power and developed a special dual cultivation method with him 760 767.
Appearance
- Hair: Long white or silver-white hair, repeatedly compared to a waterfall 91 104 356.
- Eyes: Ice-blue, with a deep, cold gaze that makes others reluctant to meet it 15.
- Complexion: Skin fairer than snow and nearly translucent; delicate features with an imposing, unapproachable majesty 15.

Personality
Xue Tianfei normally presents an icy, forceful exterior. She is blunt with potential rivals and can intimidate acquaintances such as Xiao Qingyi. Her extreme concern for cleanliness and symmetry initially contributed to Lu Qing’an’s reluctance to accept her pursuit 15 17 18 322.
Around Lu Qing’an and his children, she becomes affectionate, playful, and attentive. She moderates habits that once caused her discomfort, respects Lu Zixuan’s privacy by knocking before entering, and welcomes physical affection from Lu Miaomiao without displaying her usual concern for cleanliness 17 18 104.
Her devotion coexists with jealousy and insecurity. She worries about other women approaching Lu Qing’an and fears that insufficient cultivation talent could eventually leave her unable to stand beside him. Nevertheless, she can cooperate with romantic rivals, accept reassurance, and leave difficult conversations for Lu Qing’an to resolve himself 319 397 459 555.
