Bai Qian is one of the most prominent and beloved characters in Tang Qi Gong Zi’s novel “Three Lives Three Worlds” and its related works, especially “Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms.” Known as the “Most Beautiful Woman in the Four Seas and Eight Desolations,” she possesses not only captivating beauty but also experiences a life journey filled with tragedy, tumultuous love, and great sacrifice. Born into the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, she is affectionately called “Aunt” by the immortals, highlighting her extraordinary lineage.

Background and Origins

Bai Qian is the Princess of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, the fifth daughter of Emperor Bai Zhi. She was born in the Immortal Realm and grew up under the protection of her parents in the Fox Den of Qingqiu. In her youth, Bai Qian, naturally curious and playful, decided to “disguise” herself as a man and study under Mo Yuan at Kunlun Mountain, as Mo Yuan never accepted female disciples. She took the name “Si Yin” and began her cultivation journey, gradually demonstrating her talents, despite initially being somewhat resistant to and not fond of her master.

Appearance and Attire

Hailed as the “Most Beautiful Woman in the Four Seas and Eight Desolations,” Bai Qian possesses an ethereal, goddess-like appearance from birth. She possesses an immortal body without needing cultivation, and her beauty rivals, or even surpasses, that of the Fox Clan Queen—the Holy Mother.

However, fate takes a cruel turn when she experiences a major change: during the battle to prevent Qing Cang from destroying the Eastern Emperor Bell, she is sealed by Qing Cang, losing her memory, divine powers, and original beauty. From then on, Bai Qian transforms into “Su Su”—an ordinary mortal with a plain appearance.

Even as “Su Su,” however, she still harbors the soul of a goddess. She always wears simple, neutral-colored clothing, which reflects her humility and simplicity to some extent, even with so many events happening to her. Another peculiarity is that, after these ordeals, Bai Qian had her eyes gouged out by Ye Hua as compensation and had to wear a white eye mask made of “Yellow Spring Profound Light” until Su Jin helped her retrieve her eyes.

Personality and Character

Bai Qian possesses a pure and innocent heart, yet she is also strong and profound.

Early Life: Growing up in the joyful atmosphere of Qingqiu, nurtured by her parents and influenced by her brother Bai Zhen, Bai Qian enjoys running, exploring, and exhibiting a free personality, sometimes even being willful.

As “Si Yin”: While studying under Mo Yuan at Kunlun Mountain, she displayed a strong, sometimes sarcastic and straightforward character.

After Being Sealed: After being sealed by Qing Cang, losing her memory, divine powers, and beauty, Bai Qian, living as “Su Su,” becomes innocent and unaware of the complex relationships of the Immortal Realm. She is often taken advantage of and deceived by those around her, which makes her feel “confused” and remorseful after regaining her memory.

The Journey Through Lifetimes and Tragic Love

Bai Qian’s journey is a series of dramatic twists and turns:

The Stage of Cultivation Under the Name “Si Yin”: At the age of 50,000, Bai Qian studies at Kunlun Mountain under the guidance of Mo Yuan. Although initially stubborn and not fond of her master, she gradually realizes Mo Yuan’s merits—he had saved and protected her in times of crisis.

The Tragedy of the Seal and Incarnation as “Su Su”: In the battle with the enemy Qing Cang to prevent him from destroying the Eastern Emperor Bell, she is sealed, losing all her divine powers, memory, and beauty, and lives as a mortal on Junji Mountain of Eastern Wasteland.

Love with Ye Hua: Even as “Su Su,” Bai Qian meets the Crown Prince of the Celestial Tribe, Ye Hua, and quickly falls in love with him—he later becomes her husband and a pillar in her life. Their love goes through three lifetimes, experiencing countless trials, misunderstandings, and sacrifices. Along the way, Ye Hua, realizing the beauty within “Su Su,” gives her a new name to express his love and cherishment.

Loss and Awakening: One of the most painful moments is when, in a brutal twist of fate, Ye Hua had to gouge out Bai Qian’s eyes as compensation, plunging her into despair. After giving birth to her son A Li, Bai Qian momentarily tries to escape the pain, and even jumps off the Zhu Xian Terrace—where the powerful magical artifact breaks the seal on her forehead, restoring her original beauty, memory, and divine powers.

Return to the Immortal Realm and Shared Destiny: Hundreds of years later, when all fates gradually come together, Bai Qian returns to Qingqiu and reunites with Ye Hua and her former loved ones. After lengthy negotiations by the celestial immortals, their love is recognized, and Bai Qian eventually becomes the Empress Dowager, embarking on the path of protecting the Immortal Realm together with Ye Hua.

Weapons and Fighting Style

Bai Qian possesses many magical artifacts and weapons, a testament to her power and influence:

Yuqing Kunlun Fan: Bai Qian’s most powerful magical artifact. When waving the fan, it can summon storms, thunder, and lightning, demonstrating the power of the Celestial Tribe.

Poyun Fan: Can generate strong winds, with power directly dependent on the amount of immortal energy of the user.

Taozhu Sword: After Bai Qian ascended to the position of Queen of Qingqiu, she personally forged this sword and hid it in Tangdian Mountain as a symbol of power, to be given to Feng Jiu in the future when necessary.

Important Relationships

Bai Qian’s relationship system is rich and multifaceted:

Ye Hua: Bai Qian’s lover, and later husband. As the Crown Prince of the Celestial Tribe, Ye Hua plays a key role in Bai Qian’s cultivation and emotional journey.

A Li: The son of Bai Qian and Ye Hua, born while Bai Qian lived as “Su Su.”

Family: Father Bai Zhi—the Emperor of Qingqiu, mother Ning Chang, and siblings such as Bai Xuan, Bai Yi, Bai Qi, and Bai Zhen, form a close family relationship, although it is also full of contradictions and challenges.

Mo Yuan: Bai Qian’s master when she went by the name “Si Yin.” He saved and guided her in many moments of crisis.

Li Jing: Once had a complex emotional entanglement with Bai Qian, who was disguised as a man. This relationship is full of tragedy, with Li Jing confused about his true feelings and inner conflicts, leading to a significant turning point in Bai Qian’s life.

Other Characters: Bai Qian also has relationships with many celestial gods, demons, and supporting characters, such as Su Jin—whose schemes sometimes clash with her, and good friends like Zhe Yan and the gods in the Celestial Tribe. These connections together form a complex picture of the immortal world in “Three Lives Three Worlds.”

Important Events in Life

Bai Qian’s journey is closely linked to countless challenges and changes:

The “Si Yin” Stage at Kunlun Mountain: In her youth, Bai Qian studied under Mo Yuan, and despite some initial disagreements, she gradually grew and affirmed her talents.

The Tragedy of the Seal: In the battle with Qing Cang to stop the Eastern Emperor Bell, she was sealed, losing her divine powers, memory, and beauty, and from then on transformed into “Su Su”—an ordinary person with no trace of supernatural power.

Love with Ye Hua: Even in her identity as “Su Su,” Bai Qian quickly developed strong feelings when she met Ye Hua. Their love went through many trials, from the initial romantic moments to the heavy pain when Ye Hua was forced to gouge out her eyes as compensation, leading to tragedy and temporary despair.

Awakening After the Climax of Tragedy: After jumping off the Zhu Xian Terrace, under the power of the black energy of the Zhu Xian Terrace, the seal on her forehead was broken, and Bai Qian gradually regained her original beauty, memory, and divine power. Returning to the Immortal Realm, reuniting with Ye Hua, and reuniting with her Immortal family marked a major turning point in her destiny.

Arduous Confrontations: Bai Qian has had to face many opposing forces, such as Qing Cang, Xuan Nu, and other villains. Each battle, despite the losses and casualties, helped her grow and understand more deeply the value of love, courage, and sacrifice.

Bai Qian is not only a symbol of divine beauty but also a testament to resilience, loyalty, and the triumph of spiritual strength over adversity.
