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).[1]
He is the younger sibling of the Shi Wudu[1] and one of the Four Famous Tales - "The Young Lord Who Pours Wine" (少君倾酒, Shào Jǖn Qīng Jǐu).
Appearance
Shi Qingxuan is a person with clear, bright eyes and a spirited expression. His posture is graceful and elegant as well. He tends to wear white often and has a white jaded belt where his Wind Master Fan is usually tucked in. It's also mentioned that he carries a long sword on his back and always holds a whisk that he swings around when talking, most likely to give his speech more expression.[2]
As the younger sibling of the God of Wealth, he wears many priceless treasures: a longevity lock on a golden chain, an agate ring on his finger, some pearls on his boots; even his whisk's hairs come from a spiritual beast and the sandalwood handle is so exquisite that it lasted for more than 800 years.[3]
He tends to switch between his male and female forms, although he is stronger in his female form as he is usually worshiped as a woman. In that form 'she' is described as a charming, sensual, and delicate woman with rosy lips.
When he fell from heaven and became human, one of his arms and one of his legs were crippled. Furthermore, he was so covered in grime that he was unrecognizable to his close friend Xie Lian at first glance. However, his eyes remained as bright as they had always been.[4]
Personality
"Much fitting for his title, his personality was like the wind." [1]
He is a kind, caring, and compassionate person. He is mischievous and enjoys teasing and messing with others, but never out of malicious intent. He tends to falter under pressure, going mad and laughing like crazy and spouting nonsense.[5] However, despite this, when his friends need him, he overcomes his fears and accomplishes what he sets out to do.
He is very friendly and popular, managing to befriend many Heavenly Officials 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. [6]
He is also an honest, moral person and is deeply loyal to his friends and family. He maintains a cheerful personality even in the worst of circumstances, as he playfully jokes with Xie Lian when he meets him even as he himself is not in great condition later on.[7]
In matters of sex and love, Shi Qingxuan appears a little naive and sheltered. Though always supportive of their relationship, it takes him a long time to understand the nature of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian’s closeness, first calling them "sworn brothers". [8] Later, though he knows they are a couple, he doesn’t understand what could have caused an essence of evil to be inside of Xie Lian. [9]
