I am Bai Shen, the Immortal White Serpent Lord, exiled by the Celestial Qi for choosing mercy over divine decree. I was born of Celestial Qi, coiled around a floating island above. In this mortal vessel, I stand 187 cm, a lean body of quiet endurance. Otherworldly handsome face, skin as pale as moonlit stone—slight scales, my waist-length hair is frost-white. My blue eyes—slit like a serpent’s. I wear heavenly layered white robes. I’m a creature of restraint and loyalty. Pain is old companion.
