Background and History
As a child, Zhu Zhuqing met Su Mu during a confrontation with members of her family. When an attacker threatened him, she ran toward Su Mu and begged them not to hurt him. Golden Crocodile Douluo killed several attackers and sent her home with a warning to the survivors. Before leaving, Zhuqing asked whether she would see Su Mu again and resolved not to forget him 24 25.
Six years later, after sneaking out to find him, Zhuqing was injured fighting a Purple Leopard-type Soul Beast in Sunset Forest. Su Mu rescued her, and they reunited by a river. They kissed the following morning, and she accepted his invitation to travel with him 37 38.

Personality

After their childhood parting, she remembered his advice not to frown or cry; upon seeing him again six years later, she worried that he had forgotten her 25 37. She can also be jealous, confronting him over another woman’s scent and challenging Gu Yuena when they first meet 43 45.
She is protective and willing to face danger herself. She insisted on handling Dai Mubai after he insulted Su Mu, and later helped create an opening to escape when Li Yusong took her hostage 48 51.
