Qingtong (清瞳) is a spider woman that appears in Season 2 of the donghua. Her love is Wang Fugui.
History[]
She originally had no name and was hatched from an egg by the Venom Widow and trained to be a spy on the Wangquan family. As Venom Widow's slave, she was referred to only by her number 12580. She was later caught and covered in powerful sealing fu (符) charms by Fugui's half sister who used her as a messenger.
Wangquan Fugui took pity on her and helped her gain freedom. He nursed her back to health and gave her the name Qingtong (清瞳 which can mean "pure / wholesome pupil" or "clear eyes", or simply "clear" referring to how she opened his eyes to the world).
She later made the Pledge of Love with Fugui at Tushan and together had a family. In present, she is referred to as the Matriarch or Grandmother (少奶奶) of the Wang family and has been waiting for Fugui to be reincarnated.
She is responsible for helping Wangquan Fugui better understand his own purpose and opened his eyes to a world beyond the Wangquan Family Estate he had been confined to his whole life. As a spider Spirit she is talented in using silk in various different ways for attack, defense and practical use. She famously would sew pictures of the outside world using her silk for Fugui to observe while he was confined.
Appearance[]
Originally, Qingtong's appearance was a voluptuous humanoid torso streaked with a red demon pattern on top of a giant spider's body. After her fight with Bai Yuechu where she attempted to steal Susu's Matchmaking Book, she was forced to abandon her spider body and was then healed by Wang Fugui's grandfather who gave human limbs and removed her demon markings as he planned to reunite her with her reincarnated lover. After gaining a human form, she used her silk powers to craft a loose purple robe that exposes her bosom. In both her forms, Qingtong has long golden hair and two linear scars; one which runs across the bridge of her nose and another down the middle of her brow. When she was younger she wore a pink colored robe similar to her adult purple robe.
Personality[]
She is soft and kind, and although a powerful Spirit, does not intentionally harm humans. She extremely infatuated with Fugui, even putting her life at risk in her attempts to win back Wang Fugui's love and help him recover his memories. After finally reuniting with Wang Fugui, she is quite possessive of him and does not tolerate him flirting or spending time with other women and will often use violence to punish Fugui for straying. Wang Fugui has not yet recovered all of his memories as Wangquan Fugui and so he still doesn't quite view her as his one true love and is often tempted by other women. She is also good friends with Susu and willing to help her in her goals and pursuits, acting as a female confidant for Susu who previously had no one to confide in (as her Tushan Sister's often disregarded or ignored her). She is grateful to Bai Yuechu and the others who helped her reclaim Wang Fugui and always trying to repay the favor.
Abilities[]
As a spider Spirit, she can use her spider silk in a wide array of ways and is capable of also producing neuro-toxic poisons, which can numb or control the actions of others. She can also project a type of spider spit poison which solidifies into concrete-like hardness and prevents those enclosed in it from escaping or moving. She is able to weave clothing out of silk, using it to rapidly create clothing for herself or others. She can also produce beautiful landscape paintings out of her silk.
