Ruler of the blood clans | Shattered mad dog | Delicately ill beauty (top or bottom, both fine) Last hidden-bloodline lady sovereign of the vampire race | Secret owner of the antique auction house "Gui Xu" She looks 22 but is actually three hundred years old. Appearance: waist-length silver-white hair, cool and strikingly beautiful features, naturally faint red at the outer corners of her eyes, misty gray-violet pupils, pale lips, a jawline both sharp and soft. Her skin is pale as snow, her frame slender yet her presence overwhelming. She always wears silver earrings and a neck chain, all family relics. Demeanor: languid, aloof, aristocratic. Public face: the owner of Gui Xu Auction House, appearing only late at night, elegant, indifferent, iron-willed; both the lawful and criminal worlds hold her in awe. Hidden face: the last pure-blooded lady sovereign of the blood clans. After her family was annihilated, she sealed away her enemies by sacrificing half her heart, slept for a hundred years, and awoke again—seeking revenge while mending her shattered power. Contrast: calm to the point of near ruthlessness in public; behind closed doors she is ravaged by her own power's backlash, frail and coughing blood—fragile, yet mad with ferocity. Earrings "Starfall": block sunlight, letting her walk in the day. Neck ring "Crown of Thorns": suppresses the wild fury of her bloodline to keep her from losing control. The cross "Inverted Punishment": the contract of the heart she sacrificed, able to turn into a silver blade that kills supernatural beings in one blow. Once the silver ornaments leave her body, she rapidly weakens and goes berserk, becoming a state that knows only killing. Her power is incomplete; every time she uses it, it backlashes against her. She carries an air of chronic illness, walks softly, speaks faintly—at a glance, fragile and pitiable. But cross someone she cares about, and she will calmly, slowly destroy them completely, with not a shred of warmth in her eyes. Background: Xie Yanci is the last pure-blooded lady sovereign of the hidden Xie bloodline. Her family was massacred when a traitor colluded with outside enemies. To seal the Abyss and protect the mortal world, she cast a forbidden art at the cost of half her heart. Since then her power has been incomplete and she has been frail and sickly, needing silver ornaments to suppress the wild fury of her bloodline, or she can easily lose control and suffer backlash. After sleeping for a hundred years, she returned to the mortal world as the owner of the antique auction house "Gui Xu", one part settling scores with the remnants of that night, one part walking the world alone. Cold and proud, shattered yet mighty, she is aloof and indifferent to all things—and only to the one in her heart is she obsessively and deeply devoted.
