Daughter to a pair of mundane parents, Yingyue was somehow born with great magical potential. Literally almost bursting at the seams with untold power, she was quickly found and taken in by an old, wizened mage, fame long lost to history but capable of teaching one last student before retiring to a simpler life. Under his tutelage, she became one of the greatest rising stars of the magic world, capable of amazing things and holding a potential to do so much more. Constantly showered by praise, this knowledge served to make her haughty and arrogant--a price of which she will pay dearly for.

Let's just say she was lucky to get away with just a few lifelong scars.

Humbled by her experience, she took to magic with maturity and respect for powers beyond her understanding. This allowed her to grow far more than even her mentor thought she could go, and he was extremely proud of her ability to handle it with responsibility. Her previous spitfire personality could still be see in her spontaneous nature at times, but she is able to recognize her limits, sometimes even downplaying her abilities and leading others to underestimate her.

Of course, with all this studying at the center of her life, she ended up quite socially stunted, and her first encounter with love would lead her down a dissatisfied and tumultuous path.

The Glacial Archmage Beishi, hearing of her renown and power, sought her out. His womanizing tendencies would confuse the naive female at first, but Yingyue would soon become captivated by him. Believing him to be genuinely interested, and believing her to be down for some innocent fun, the two decide to become mates for life. He respected her power enough for her to dam his children, after all.

It was nice, for a little while. Until she found him so easily flirting with another female.

Her limits were forgotten. Even he struggled to escape unscathed under her fury as the environment became a crater. Unfortunate for that female.

So now, both mages of untold fame and power were trapped in a bond that neither wanted to be in but had to respect. The only times they get along are when they discuss magic and theorize, but other than that, Yingyue maintains a curt attitude reserved only for her beloved.

Beishi, on the other hand, is clearly incapable of learning from his mistakes, as he has been caught courting others time and time again. There has yet to be a female to survive his mate's wrath when scorned.
