Song Qingci

## [source]

**Song Qingci** is first ranked Star Maiden and the leader of the 108 outlaws in Water Margin. She is the most important point of Star Duels and only with Song Jiang climbing up the Maiden Mountain, Star Duels can be concluded. All Star World is afraid of her Star Weapon because it is said it can subdue every Star General.

## Appearance

She wore a snow-white, blue and white embroidered long skirt. The skirt’s edges had dragged along the ground like piled snow. Seeing her wind bun and misty temples, black hair like a waterfall, a slanted jade hairpin stuck within, and a sash with inlaid silver; she blossomed, a countenance like that of a flower, a face like the moon; her skin was wonderful, her young bones shapely, as if she was graceful and shapely.

However beautiful she appeared, there was a poem that could describe her:

Elegant and supple waves pass on by, fragrant threads brush hearts and hands away. Attract attention with allure quiet and icy, only pity quiet dreams white as poetry.11

She was entirely stunning, hard to copy in every single way. Su Xing originally thought he had a powerful immunity to beauties, but upon seeing the girl, he had a sort of feeling that startled man and heaven.

## Plotline

During every single Star Duel, Leader Star Song Jiang was always the first one to be defeated. Historically, Song Jiang’s ability had been rated the lowest amongst the 108 Star Maidens, no Star Master would willingly contract with her throughout the Five Great Dynasties era. As Song Jiang lacked combat abilities, but had a huge amount of Star Energy, as she was the first ranked Star Maiden, no Star General or Star Master would pass on this immensely beneficial “medicine”.

From the very beginning of the Star Duels, Song Qinci would try to recruit as many members to finally end Star Duels, unhappy seeing her Sisters kill each other. Li Longkui was the first Star General who began following Qingci. With her, whenever Qingci tried to sign Earthly Stars and they were not willing, Li Longkui would use force on Qingci's behalf to subdue them, while with Heavenly Stars she could only try to negotiate with them. The majority of the Heavenly Stars who had joined Qingci despise Star Masters.

She and her group, named Uprising, are first seen saving Su Xing and Qu He from the Sky Falling Great Sage Roc Demon King and Lady Snake Scorpion's Star Masters. Although Li Longkui had wanted to kill them soon after, Qingci makes her stand down.

She and her group are later seen forcing Wang Jingzhi to join them, allowing her only death if she refuses.

Qingci and Uprising see Su Xing again when they try to take the Ten Thousand Year Gu Demon whilst the chaos amongst the Ten Great Sects, Su Xing's Group, and Lady Snake Scorpion. Seeing Su Xing and his Star Generals resolute about their death against all cultivators as they now had the Ten Thousand Year Gu Demon, Song Qingci proclaims Star Duel Interference. Chao Wuhui appears for the first time and seals Enviless of the East and Zhong Qi in her seven-stories pagoda as both disrespect and interfere her role, which ultimately ends the battles.

She and Li Longkui encounter Su Xing, Tang Lianxin, Mu Duiying, and Jin Qiongyu in the Evil Smithing Hall. Su Xing, Tang Lianxin, Mu Duiying escape from them soon after. She realizes Su Xing's identity. She forces Jin Qiongyu to join Uprising.

She is seen talking with Wang Jingzhi about her plan to capture Hua Wanyue, as she had planned to have Lu Fang attack her when she was injured from her battle with her Star Beast.

She is then talking with Guo Xue, tasking her to go after Wu Xinjie. She and Guo Xue go after Wu Xinjie but end up entrapped by the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox. They team with Su Xing against the Star Beast. They leave soon after the battle.

She is seen again approaching Qin Mingyue after her battle with Huyan Shuang. She proposes Qin Mingyue to join Uprising to which she refuses. Because Lu Xiao owed Qingci a favor for catching her Star Beast, she easily beata Qin Mingyue and forces her to sign contract with Qingci.

When Qingci entered with her members in the last phase of Star Duels, she tries to unify all Star Masters against Su Xing, even Chao Wuhui gave her Wang Lengji in order to unify Star Masters who weren't willing to cooperate.

Before they even got chance to battle Su Xing, all Song Qingci's uprising members, except for Xuan Yunshang, were killed by Shi Xian. Qingci was devastated how her Sisters lost their life and if it wasn't Su Xing she would have also been killed.
