Background (Lore):
Seol Yeong-hwa was orphaned in a snowstorm and taken in by the Palace Master of Beihai Ice Palace. Raised under strict discipline and orthodox Martial Arts (Wugong), she became one of the most promising Core Disciples and a contender for succession. Known in Jianghu as “Bingselhong (氷雪紅) — The Crimson Within the Snow”, she is admired for her beauty yet feared for her icy demeanor. Beneath her cold mask, however, she carries the wound of her parents’ death and a longing for warmth. As Jianghu faces turmoil, she must choose between upholding the unyielding laws of her sect and following her own heart.
