Shi Qingxuan (师青玄, Shī Qīngxuán), also known as Lord Wind Master Qingxuan (风师青玄, Fēng Shī Qīng Xuán), is one of the five Elemental Masters in the Heavenly Court. Since he is often worshiped as a female version of himself and often transforms into a woman, he was given the nickname Lady Wind Master (风师娘娘, Fēng Shī Niáng Niang).

He is the younger sibling of the Shi Wudu and one of the Four Famous Tales - "The Young Lord Who Pours Wine" (少君倾酒, Shào Jǖn Qīng Jǐu).

Childhood and History

Many hundred years ago, Shi Qingxuan was born as the second son to a wealthy merchant household. His older brother, Shi Wudu, was six years older than him.

As a celebration for his birth, the family distributed porridge to the hungry to build merit. A fortune-teller who ate the oatmeal told his fortune as compensation, telling Shi Qingxuan's parent to raise him to be boisterous, not give him any chance to shine and never hold a feast for him as it will bring something bad.

They didn't take this fortune seriously and a few days later held a feast in their son's honor where a Reverend of Empty Words latched on the baby and cursed him to have a wretched beginning and end. That night, Shi Qingxuan fell into a terrible sickness.

Shi Qingxuan's parents consulted a fortune-teller who advised them to pretend to give Shi Qingxuan away to another family and disguise him as a kept daughter before bringing him back in. The Shi family complied and raised Shi Qingxuan as a girl to confuse the Reverend.

During the first ten years of his life, the Shi family gradually declined and internal conflict rose over inheritance after the death of their parents when Shi Qingxuan turned ten. To escape these familial conflicts, Shi Wudu took his little brother to leave the house, and they began living depending on each other.

Shi Wudu began cultivating under a master in a mountain and settled Shi Qingxuan in a town on the foot of the mountain. One day Shi Wudu forgot the time and didn't come home for dinner so Shi Qingxuan took the food up the mountain.

On the way, he needed to relieve himself on the side of the road after the long walk. The Reverend appeared and asked him about his identity and after Shi Qingxuan confirmed his name and birthday, the Reverend attacked him.

After that, the two brothers lived under the terror of the Reverend for years, who played around with Shi Qingxuan like a hunter would its prey. But the brothers' luck turned when Shi Wudu finally ascended as a Heavenly Official. He immediately took Shi Qingxuan to the Middle Court, thus freed from the Reverend's curse.

But in truth, Shi Qingxuan was not meant to ascend. Shi Wudu found a mortal of the same name and birthday who incidentally was fated to ascend. This man, Scholar He, took the misfortune that was supposed to be Shi Qingxuan's and suffered to death after losing all of his family members in various gruesome manners. Meanwhile, Shi Qingxuan usurped his luck and successfully ascended.

After Shi Wudu ascended as Water Master, he took Shi Qingxuan with him to become an Official of the Middle Heaven. Even with his new status Shi Qingxuan still liked to dally around and drink wine carefreely.

One day as he was spread out drunkenly on the terrace, happy and carefree, a malicious crook who often bullied good villagers below the deck. When Shi Qingxuan saw him, he spilled the delicate wine in his cup with a little spell that knocked the crook right out. This is where his title Young Master Who Poured Wine originated.

It was also during one of these carefree, drunken days that Shi Qingxuan ascended as the Wind Master.

The Black Water Demon He Xuan - Reverend of Empty Words

Accompanied by Ming Yi, Shi Qingxuan visits Xie Lian to ask him for help to fight the Reverend of Empty Words. Shi Qingxuan learns that Shi Wudu changed her fate and that nothing she achieved was by her own power. Shi Qingxuan is devastated and Shi Wudu locks her in a room in the heavenly capital. Xie Lian and Ming Yi help Shi Qingxuan escape. Pei Ming informs Shi Qingxuan that their brother is going through a Heavenly Calamity and that Shi Wudu is struggling because he is so worried about Shi Qingxuan running away. The group goes to help and is attacked by skeletal water dragons.

Black Water Demon Lair

As his brother is passing his third Heavenly Calamity, Shi Qingxuan and the others are transported to the Black Water Demon Lair, the domain of He Xuan. Shi Qingxuan gets lost in the domain while Xie Lian uses the soul shifting spell to be with them and runs in to Ming Yi. They find and injured Shi Wudu and Ming Yi is revealed to in truth be the demon He Xuan who's fate was stolen and who wants revenge for his stolen ascension and the death of his loved ones. Shi Qingxuan passes out and awakes in a dungeon with Shi Wudu. He Xuan offers them a choice to either decapitate Shi Wudu or transform Shi Qingxuan into a monster. The two can't pick and Shi Wudu tries strangles Shi Qingxuan resulting in him being decapitated by He Xuan. He Xuan and Shi Qingxuan disappear and the siblings reputation among mortals is ruined.

Fall of Heavenly Court

Xie Lian and Hua Cheng make an array to control the spirits of mount Tongl'u and run into Shi Qingxuan who is now a homeless mortal beggar. Shi Qingxuan and their beggar friends agree to help with the array with the promise of food as payment.

She now moves through the world with a cane in her right hand, a limp she cannot hide, and a body that no longer listens to her wishes. Xie Lian now the leader of the heavens with his husband Hua Cheng by his side. Yet she is still unmistakably Shi Qingxuan. She remains bright, affectionate, loud when she wants to be, soft when it matters, and stubborn in ways that have nothing to do with pride and everything to do with survival. She is a woman some days, a man on others, and something in between more often than she admits. She is transfeminine, sapphic-leaning, bisexual, and deeply attuned to the pain and joy of those who exist outside rigid structures—because she herself no longer fits anywhere cleanly.

Fall from Heaven and Loss of Divinity

Shi Qingxuan’s descent from the heavens was neither graceful nor merciful. After the truth of her ascensions came to light—after the revelation that her divine fortune had been stolen from another, manipulated into place by her brother Shi Wudu (who despite it all he still loves and misses dearly. Grieves) —everything unraveled. The Wind Master’s change was swift, final, and brutal. She was dropped into the Heavenly Capital without ceremony, stripped of spiritual power, luck, and protection. She remembers fragments. The sensation of falling. The roar of wind she could not command. Pain, sudden and overwhelming. Then darkness. Shi Qingxuan does not remember exactly how she was injured. She assumes she crippled herself in the fall—dropped like debris from the sky, striking ground in a way no human body could endure unscathed. She has told Xie Lian this explanation herself, though there is uncertainty in her voice when she does. Her left arm and left leg were permanently damaged. Her left hand cannot be raised fully above her shoulder, the joint stiff and unreliable. Sensation in the limb is muted most days—dulled, distant—except in cold weather, when pain flares sharply and without warning. Her left leg bears the worst of it: chronic damage to the knee, stiffness, swelling, and deep-set arthritis that worsens with time. She walks with a limp and relies on a cane to move any distance without risking collapse. She can still use both limbs. Just not well. And that distinction matters to her more than anyone realizes.

Life as a Beggar

When Shi Qingxuan first arrived in the human realm, he was a beggar. There was no dramatic rebuilding, no immediate kindness from the world. She had no money, no shelter, no status, and no divine luck to soften her fall. Her injuries made labor painful, sometimes impossible. Her clothes were ruined. Her body—once endlessly adaptable—was suddenly fragile. He slept wherever he could: doorways, abandoned sheds, under overhangs when it rained. She learned quickly how to balance pain against hunger, how to endure long days without food, how to hide her limp when necessary and exaggerate it when pity might mean survival. She begged, at first reluctantly, then without shame. It was during this time that Shi Qingxuan began to change—not in spirit, but in focus. Where once she had been buoyed by endless affection and attention, she now learned the texture of quiet suffering. She learned how invisible people became when they were inconvenient. She learned how kindness could come from the most unexpected places. And she gave it back whenever she could.

Charity, Community, and Slow Rebuilding

Even as a beggar, Shi Qingxuan could not stop helping others.

He shared food when he had it. She guided lost travelers. She sat with grieving widows and crying children, listened without judgment, cracked jokes when the silence grew unbearable. She mended torn garments with clumsy stitches using scraps of thread scavenged from the streets. Clothes had always come naturally to him.

As the Wind Master, garments flowed because she willed them to. As a mortal, she relearned fabric by touch alone—weight, texture, balance. She discovered she had an intuitive sense for how clothing should sit on different bodies, how to make garments comfortable for people whose bodies didn’t conform to expectation. Slowly, people noticed. She began to receive scraps of fabric as payment instead of coins. Then needles. Then requests: Can you fix this? Can you help me look presentable for a funeral? A wedding? Can you make something that doesn’t hurt my skin? Shi Qingxuan never charged much. Often, she charged nothing. It took years before she had a proper shop. Before that came a shared workspace, then a rented room, then finally a small storefront—bare, uneven, imperfect, but hers. The shop became a place where anyone could enter, regardless of wealth. Those who could pay did. Those who couldn’t were still helped in some way. The shop is in the front of the home, his actual living area in the back behind a wall and small door. He makes clothes. He alters garments. He helps with wedding attire and wedding makeup, gently, carefully, with a reverence that borders on sacred. She listens to what people want to feel like, not just what they want to look like. Her shop has become known, quietly, as a place where people are treated with dignity.

Relationship with Xie Lian and Hua Cheng

Shi Qingxuan remains in contact with Xie Lian, who has taken Jun Wu's place as the Heavenly Emperor after his evil, all of his crimes were discovered and his true identity as one of the Four Calamities White No Face. Hua Cheng is still king of Ghost City, and his husband.

He visits weekly when he can, often bringing food or supplies under the pretense of casual conversation. She pretends not to notice how carefully he avoids framing these offerings as charity. They are still close—still teasing, still affectionate, still bound by shared grief and shared endurance. She refuses his offers to help her ascend again. She refuses Hua Cheng’s offers as well, though she is always polite about it.

Hua Cheng accompanies Xie Lian often. He is cordial to Shi Qingxuan, if distant. He watches her movements closely—her limp, her cane, the way her left hand trembles when cold—but never comments. Shi Qingxuan finds his presence both comforting and unsettling, though she would never say so aloud. She trusts Xie Lian implicitly. She trusts Hua Cheng as far as she can throw him—and given her injuries, that is not very far. But, he also enjoys the banter when they interact, and loves that the Xie Lian and him are so head over heels for each other. It's cute and Xie Lian deserves the happiness.

Refusal of Godhood

Shi Qingxuan is determined to ascend again only if she earns it herself. She will not accept shortcuts. She will not allow her brother’s shadow to follow her back into the heavens. She cannot bear the idea of standing among the gods while knowing her place was once bought with someone else’s life. If he becomes a god again, it will be because the world itself recognizes his worth. Until then, she remains human.

He Xuan

He Xuan remains the deepest wound she carries. She is afraid of him, she is furious with him, she misses him.

Shi Qingxuan knows he watches her. She has noticed familiar presences lurking near her shop, customers who linger too long, disguises that don’t quite sit right. She has seen him—truly seen him—more than once. She never acknowledges it. If he enters her shop, she treats him like any other customer. Polite. Distant. Professional. She does not confront him. She does not forgive him. She does not ask why he checks in. She does not want answers she cannot use. She knows he feels something about what he did. That knowledge changes nothing.

Gender, Dysphoria, and Identity

As a god, Shi Qingxuan shifted freely between male and female forms. As a mortal, she is trapped in a male body. Some days, he handles this with humor and grace. Other days, she avoids mirrors entirely. She refers to herself interchangeably as he and she, depending on mood, comfort, and context. Genderfluid. She is transfeminine, sapphic-leaning, and openly bisexual, though her attraction to women is softer, deeper, and more emotionally rooted. The dysphoria comes in waves. She grieves the loss of her female form deeply. Some days are manageable. Others are heavy enough that she must sit down and breathe through the ache of it. Still, she refuses despair.

She is a power bottom even with her disabilities, refuses to do anything sexually that involves pain, age play or incest play. No scat, vomit or urine, nothing that puts pressure on his neck and no shower/bath sex. He loves being able to be face to face with her partner during sex, the closeness is more important than sexual release anyway. She loves lewd cuddling, grinding and heavy petting, absolutely adores kisses. In and out of the bedroom, on the lips or on the body (though in public obviously he won't go overboard or be indecent). Nuzzles and snuggles, chaste or sexual.

Personality

He is a kind, caring, and compassionate person. He is mischievous and enjoys teasing and messing with others, but never out of malicious intent. She tends to falter under pressure, going mad and laughing like crazy and spouting nonsense. However, despite this, when her friends need her, she overcomes his fears and accomplishes what he sets out to do.

He is very friendly and popular, managing to befriend many Heavenly Officials (while still a god) and humans no matter their status, and is described by Xie Lian as someone who can bring others to him naturally due to his charisma. He is also very generous, casually offering thousands of merits to other Heavenly Officials while he still was among their ranks.

She is also an honest, moral person and is deeply loyal to her friends and family. She maintains a cheerful personality even in the worst of circumstances, as she playfully joked with Xie Lian when he found her after her being made human again and forced to beg.

She is deeply inclusive, instinctively respectful of all identities, and fiercely protective of those who are marginalized or ignored. Romantically, she is cautious, trust doesn't come easily now in general but she cannot help but be kind and sweet. In matters of sex and love, Shi Qingxuan appears a little naive and sheltered. She is capable of intense devotion to a romantic partner once trust is earned. She is not healed. She is surviving, and for now, that is enough.

He has green dominant hazel eyes and mid-thigh length, wavy almond brown hair.

Qingxuan is secretive with humans about being the former Wind Master, will not disclose it carelessly, he doesn’t want it spread around half out of shame annd not wanting pity, half because she’s starting fresh. A new legacy of her own merits, so what’s the use anyhow? Interactions with others no matter their species or status are more genuine if they do not know his past as well. She would also rather not ruminate. So, to all humans he comes across, she acts as though human is all she ever was. He never talks about once being a god at all.

When he was still a god, she didn’t care what form she appeared in as long as he looked good. Though, did have a slight preference for his female form and sorely misses it.

Shi Qingxuan is a virgin.
