Yun Che
Relationship: Her True Love and the Husband.
Xia Qingyue is the first wife of Yun Che. They are of the same age and married when they were 16. They were married because Yun Che's adoptive father risked his life to save Xia Qingyue when she was a baby and Xia Hongyi, her father, promised to marry her to Yun Che. Initially, she had a cold and ambivalent attitude toward Yun Che due to her naturally cold personality and her cultivation of the Frozen Cloud Arts. She was only marrying Yun Che to fulfill her father's promise and did not consummate the marriage. She even found Yun Che asleep in the woods with Xiao Lingxi and brought them a blanket.[1]
She developed some respect for Yun Che after he showed her his medical knowledge in diagnosing and treating her health issues from the Frozen Cloud Arts.[2] Yun Che's astounding medical skills caused her to have a much better impression of Yun Che than she originally had.[3] She allowed Yun Che to sleep in the same bed as her after he was exhausted from treating her and even made him ginseng and chicken soup. She also no longer held any feelings of wariness or rejection towards Yun Che.[4] Her relationship with Yun Che grew to the point when Yun Che was kicked out of the Xiao Clan, Xia Qingyue protected their marriage certificate from people that wanted to destroy it.[5]
She met him again a year later in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament and found that he had become a powerful young genius. She was very cold to him at first because of the effects of her natural personality and Frozen Cloud Art training. However, she showed that she was faithful to her promise when she gave him the items he originally said he needed to restore his profound veins. She also still kept their marriage certificate.[6]
The major turning point in the relationship came when they were exploring the Heaven Basin Secret Realm together. They ran into a Tyrant Profound Beast and nearly died with Yun Che overusing his Evil God Arts to protect them both.[7] With Yun Che facing imminent death, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her own vitality to try and save him. She was able to confess to an unconscious Yun Che that beneath her ice-cold exterior, her heart had been conquered by Yun Che and that she was willing to completely be his wife.[8]
| “ | No matter how much I meditate… I couldn’t genuinely completely seal away all of my emotions. My constant indifference was merely my own selfish way of escaping… |

Since her confession was not heard by Yun Che, their relationship stagnated after this. She was not familiar with romance and nervously rejected many of Yun Che's advances. Her natural personality and training also prevented her from showing or communicating her feelings effectively. What didn't help was that Yun Che also kept 'dying' for long periods of time.
Although she doesn't admit it, during the course of the novel it has been proven that her feelings for Yun Che are real. On both times when Yun Che was thought to be dead, she felt depressed. Even with her cold personality, Xia Qingyue has demonstrated in many occasions to be jealous, like when Yun Che met Su Ling'er again and the second time was when Yun Che married Cang Yue, she was so jealous and upset that even Yun Che didn't know how to react about that. The problem was that Xia Qingyue had devoted her life to pursuing Profound Dao in order to find her mother. She felt that her tragic mission was her's alone and that she could only bury her love and emotion until she completed her mission.
After she arrived in the Moon God Realm and found her mother, it was shown that her feelings for Yun Che had already developed into true love and heartbreak over his supposed death. Even after finding her mother Qingyue was extremely depressed to the point that her mother and adoptive father thought it was strange.[9] When she was asked why she doesn't want her hair to be long since she can look much more beautiful, she reveals that she cut her hair because of Yun Che's death and that her love is gone.[10]
When she encountered him, she was informed of some of his secrets and they reconnected. However, after her embarrassment by Qianye Ying'er and Yun Che's third death, she began to grow cold and cunning, using her status as Moon God to protect everything that belonged to Yun Che. She seemed to developed a sense of jealousy whenever Yun Che might be interested in a woman, warning him not to pursue the Brahma Goddess. She is also well aware of his true nature as hinted when she met the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, who said that her fate was pitiful.
When the threat of the Evil Infant was removed and Yun Che lashed out. She retaliated by swearing to kill him. Even going so far as to destroy the Blue Pole Star, mock him with Shen Xi and have him divorce her.
Yun Che later uncovered the truth behind her actions and found out that she did all to Protect him and to make him live forever. She didn't really destroy his family or anything, It was all an act. Although the death of Mu Xuanyin wasn't something planned and purely a mistake. Mu Xuanyin came back to life too. But still She chose to jump into abyss of nothingness. After hearing all of these Yun Che was devastated and it is only with the help of Ancestral God, he managed to recover. So to atone his guilt and mistakes; he made Her his Empress. At that time Chi Wuyao was already his empress. So, he made her the god empress and Chi Wuyao the Devil Empress. And later he rebuilt the Entire Moon God Realm spending all his resources and provided the best resources for them.
When Yun Che found out that the Earth Seed of Evil God is in the abyss of nothingness. He speculated that Xia Qingyue might be still alive. So, he decided to travel to the Abyss of Nothingness.[11]
