Ye Qingxue

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Ye Qingxue comes from a wealthy family in Rongcheng. She lives in a three-story house in the eastern suburbs, has access to a driver, and receives extensive support for dungeon development. Her family supplies costly cooldown-reset items and purchasing access for restricted cards 84 100 166.

Throughout high school, she outperformed most of her year academically. Su Mu was the exception: he consistently surpassed her in Soul Power and dungeon theory, including a test on which she scored 96 to his 99. She also never defeated him in practical dungeon-design simulations, making him the focus of her competitive ambitions 1 34.

Appearance

• Build and bearing: Tall, with an upright posture and an unhurried gait, even after exhausting battles 23 34.
• Hair: Long white hair, later worn in a high ponytail 37 106.
• Typical clothing: A white combat suit or white light armor, accompanied by a waist-mounted card case containing ice-blue cards 23 71.
• Signs of overwork: Repeated overnight dungeon runs leave her pale, with dark circles beneath her eyes 71 75.

Personality

Ye Qingxue is proud, intensely competitive, and committed to winning fairly. She refuses to exploit Su Mu’s apparently poor awakening as an easy victory and dislikes receiving rewards disproportionate to her contribution. When their partnership benefits her more than she expected, she insists on supplying cooldown resets, surrendering ordinary drops, and paying for cards she takes 3 81 93.

Her aloof manner conceals considerable shyness. Su Mu considers her straightforward but poor at expressing herself; she frequently explains away acts of kindness as irritation, repayment, or practical necessity. Her concern nevertheless becomes unmistakable when she worries about his safety, enters danger to help him, and waits for his return from the Dragon Gate 3 71 150 164.

She is also capable of disciplined retreat. During her first Nightmare trial, she withdraws rather than expose her cards to needless damage against a faster, higher-level opponent. Her desire to surpass Su Mu does not prevent her from recognizing his strength or sincerely wishing him success 34 91 154.

Abilities & Skills

Ice and Snow World

Her SSS-rank theme emphasizes domain control and ice-element synergy, matching the Snow Queen exceptionally well 7 101.

• Her initial territory includes frozen lakes, icebergs, ice pillars, crystalline trees, and an ice-crystal maze 7 9.
• The Snow Queen performs best within Ye Qingxue’s own dungeon, where the theme provides additional bonuses 78 79.
• Ye Qingxue recognizes that the build lacks depth. Su Mu proposes an Ice and Snow Empress as a secondary core, but she rejects a Western-fantasy development route; a deity route is subsequently discussed as a possibility rather than an achieved upgrade 90 91.

Snow Queen

The Snow Queen is Ye Qingxue’s SSS-rank core card and principal battlefield controller 77 79.

• Ice projectiles: Uses shards, icicles, and spikes to attack, slow, or freeze enemies 77 79.
• Ice walls: Blocks approaches, separates enemies, and protects flanks 79 85.
• Monster clearing: Freezes wandering goblins and skeletons into ice sculptures before shattering them 77.
• Support tactics: Holds an area and restrains enemies while Su Mu’s cards concentrate on damage 79 92.
• Limitations: Her attacks require charging and have cooldowns. Against stronger Hell-difficulty enemies, slowing effects shorten dramatically and ice walls can be destroyed in a single charge 79 87 92.
• Documented improvement: On a later Hell run, her walls withstand two or three attacks from the tenth-wave boss, while her slowing effects improve from one or two seconds to three or four 92.

Soul Power and Soul Skills

• Recovers 60 Soul Power in five hours of meditation on the third day after awakening—twice the amount described as exceptional by textbook standards 84.
• Benefits from a high Soul Power limit and the Snow Queen’s nourishment of her Soul Space 84.
• Obtains an A-rank soul skill after using more than a dozen random soul skill books. Its name and effects are not given 81 82.

Appraisal and Combat Assessment

• Uses Appraisal to inspect enemies and other dungeon masters’ creatures, subject to information restrictions 34 78 79.
• Correctly identifies the danger of the fifteenth-wave Nightmare opponent and withdraws before suffering unnecessary losses 34.
• Cannot inspect Su Mu while his Shadow Concealment Badge conceals his information 71.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• White light armor and ice-blue card case — Her usual field equipment 71 106.
• Two trap cards and one element card — Selected from the school inventory to develop her dungeon 12.
• Cooldown-reset equipment and scrolls — Enable repeated dungeon entries without the normal waiting period. At one point, she has enough remaining uses for twelve more runs 84.
• E-rank skeleton-summoning card — Received from Su Mu in exchange for a random soul skill book. He suggests concealing skeletons beneath her dungeon’s snow for ambushes 81.
• Hell-battle scroll — Essential to the pair’s first victory over the five Hell Lair bosses; Su Mu credits it when insisting that she share the rewards 87 90.
• Core-card protection item — Can forcibly protect her core card; its name and precise mechanics are unspecified 90.
• Ice-blue restoration scroll — Restores some of the Snow Queen’s health after the evil soul severely injures her 150.
• C-rank class cards — Accepts the Iron Crown Bone General, Poison Bone Priest, and Golden Bone Guardian after the first Hell clear 90.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Awakening and School Trials

After awakening her SSS-rank theme, Ye Qingxue offers Su Mu a place in Ice and Snow World. He declines, and she insists that she only wanted his dungeon-design skills. She later joins him in insulting Wang Hao, undermining Wang Hao’s stated grounds for challenging Su Mu 3 11 12.

She rapidly clears the school’s Normal and Hard trials before attempting Nightmare. Her first documented attempt ends at wave fifteen, but later accounts confirm that she clears the school’s Nightmare trial on her awakening day 23 34 71 106.

Partnership in the Land of Buried Bones

Repeated wild-dungeon runs leave Ye Qingxue exhausted, yet Su Mu overtakes her in level. After she again fails to defeat the Goblin Nest’s twentieth-wave boss, he proposes farming the Land of Buried Bones together. She accepts when he presents the arrangement as an equal partnership rather than an offer to carry her 71 75 76.

Their arrangement combines her cooldown-reset resources with his monsters’ clearing efficiency. She supplies resets and initially assigns ordinary drops to him, offering payment or trades for anything she wants. Together, they clear Nightmare repeatedly and defeat Hell difficulty 81 84 90.

Afterward, she helps Su Mu obtain an A-rank Golden Lion Beast card, securing her grandfather’s authorization and covering the amount Su Mu cannot afford. She declines his offer of a formal IOU 100 101.

College Entrance Examination

During the Nest Cult attack on the fourth-stage assessment, Ye Qingxue brings the Snow Queen to Su Mu’s aid. The Snow Queen briefly freezes the evil soul before suffering severe damage. Ye Qingxue later claims she was only protecting herself, but Su Mu points out that approaching the creature’s main target placed her in greater danger 150 153.

University Plans

After the examination, she waits at the exit until Su Mu returns from the Dragon Gate. She advises him to compare university offers carefully and says she wants to attend the same institution so their competition can continue 164 165.

She subsequently chooses Tsinghua and Peking Universities, reporting an A-rank agreement. She postpones traveling there because an overseas club’s nest contains something she needs; the desired resource is not identified 172 174.

Relationships

• Su Mu — Academic rival, trusted dungeon partner, and friend. Their rivalry develops into mutual support, though she continues aiming to surpass him. Romantic interest is suggested through her reactions and others’ speculation, but no relationship is confirmed 1 76 101 165 174.
• Grandfather — Provides purchasing authorization and advises her on dungeon compatibility. He trusts her judgment while remaining cautious about the boy she goes out of her way to help 101 102.
• Father — His shopping account gives her access to restricted card purchases, though the Golden Lion Beast requires higher authorization 100 101.
• Wang Hao — Seeks her attention by attempting to defeat Su Mu. She openly insults him and rejects his assessment of her rival 11 34.
• Zhao Jianguo — Her principal, who approves additional school-card support and celebrates her level-sixteen achievement and sixth-place provincial result 9 106 164.
