Background

Zi Ji is a pure-blooded female dragon and one of the few remaining Pure Blood Dragon Race members on the Douluo Continent. Her bloodline is stated to be comparable in standing to Di Tian's despite his greater strength and former divine status. Gu Yuena's status as the Silver Dragon King produces an overwhelming bloodline suppression over her. 13 55

Di Tian summons Zi Ji to assist Gu Yuena after mistaking Gu Yuena's domestic life with Dan Heng for humiliation. Zi Ji accepts indignantly, declaring that she would endure anything to help her master. 11

She enters Dan Heng's household disguised as Gu Yuena's distant cousin, initially intending to expose or seduce the “old pervert” Dan Heng and free Gu Yuena from him. Her provocations fail, while her first experience with Dan Heng's cooking quickly becomes a lasting weakness. 12 14 15

Appearance

Zi Ji is an enchanting, mature-looking woman who commonly wears purple and can adopt partial or full dragon traits in battle. 12 98

• Exceptionally long legs and a voluptuous, fiery figure. 12
• Long, waterfall-like hair; later described as purple. 12 291
• Usually dresses in purple; once disguises herself in Gu Yuena's style with a large bamboo hat. 242 263
• Her partial dragon form gives her vertical pupils and purplish-black scales. 98
• Can form dragon claws and transform her Soul Power into a giant-dragon shape. 303 338

Personality

Zi Ji is fiercely loyal to Gu Yuena, whom she reveres as both master and elder sister. She is protective to the point of recklessness, repeatedly offering to fight anyone who harms or obstructs Gu Yuena—even while privately recognizing that Dan Heng is far beyond her ability to challenge. 11 65 77

She is brash, vain, gluttonous, competitive, and often convinced of her own usefulness despite causing trouble. She resents Bi Ji as a rival for Gu Yuena's favor, attempts to push her out of the household, and frequently boasts about contributions that she has exaggerated. 113 124 246 291

Her boldness collapses around figures she truly fears. She becomes timid around Dan Heng after witnessing his Water Azure Dragon, panics at the prospect of divine enemies, and is highly afraid of Gu Yuena's discipline. 40 77 232 303

Abilities & Skills

• Swiftly subdues and chases Ghost Douluo. 98
• Easily defeats Ghost Douluo, a level 97 Titled Douluo. 99
• Judges that Sword Douluo could not be defeated within a hundred moves, and recognizes that Sword Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Yu Yuanzhen together put her at a disadvantage. 99

• Uses her strength to intimidate Bibi Dong while taunting her over Dan Heng's affection for Gu Yuena. 214

Equipment / Items

• Conch from Sea God Poseidon — delivered as a gift for Gu Yuena; its playback exposes Zi Ji's boasting and insults toward Bi Ji and Zhu Zhuqing. 246
• Modified Soul Tools — takes three of the Soul Tools Dan Heng intended to give Huo Yuhao. 334
• Water gun — uses it to cause chaos around the household. 213

Relationships

• Gu Yuena — her master, elder sister, and Dragon Race sovereign; Zi Ji is deeply loyal to her but constantly incurs punishment through impulsive behavior. 11 14 55
• Dan Heng — brother-in-law whom Zi Ji initially calls an “old pervert”; she fears his strength, depends on his cooking, and develops conflicted feelings toward him. 12 40 116
• Di Tian — fellow Dragon Race subordinate; he recruits her to intervene on Gu Yuena's behalf, an assignment that leads to Zi Ji's punishment. 11 16
• Bi Ji — fellow “sister” and frequent rival; Zi Ji envies Bi Ji's perceived favor, tries to send her away, but remains bound to her as family. 113 124 291
• Zhu Zhuqing — household companion; Zi Ji makes her uncomfortable with her behavior, later shares a closer but still chaotic household bond with her. 14 290
• Dai Mubai — pursues Zi Ji and is assaulted by her when she seeks to prove her innocence to Dan Heng. 26 162
• Huo Yuhao — initially scolded by Zi Ji; she saves him after learning of his connection to Dan Heng. 333
• Tang Ya — follows Zi Ji's direction during the confrontation with Evil Soul Masters. 333
• Long Long — Gu Yuena and Dan Heng's child; Zi Ji wants to care for him but irresponsibly tosses him in the air “like a ball.” 340 321

Story Role / Major Arcs

Arrival at Dan Heng's Household

Zi Ji is recruited by Di Tian to investigate Dan Heng and supposedly rescue Gu Yuena from humiliation. She arrives posing as Gu Yuena's cousin, tries to provoke and seduce Dan Heng, and is punished by Gu Yuena for crossing boundaries. 11 12 14

Star Luo Investigation and Charles Incident

Gu Yuena assigns Zi Ji to manipulate Dai Mubai and advance plans involving the Star Luo Empire. Instead, Zi Ji is lured to Charles's manor by the promise of food and a million Gold Soul Coins, then drugged and restrained by Charles's forces. She resists until Gu Yuena rescues her; Dan Heng kills the remaining attackers. 14 50 54 55

Household Rivalries

With Bi Ji's arrival, Zi Ji grows jealous of her place in Gu Yuena's household. She repeatedly tries to frighten, embarrass, or send Bi Ji away, often receiving reprimands from Gu Yuena instead. 113 116 124 134

Defense Against Titled Douluo

Zi Ji confronts Ghost Douluo, then faces Sword Douluo and Yu Yuanzhen as well. Although she can defeat Ghost Douluo alone and challenge two opponents, Gu Yuena ultimately intervenes against the three Titled Douluo. 98 99

Maple Dan Empire Regency

Zi Ji governs the Maple Dan Empire in Gu Yuena's absence for two years. She enjoys the authority of the throne and oversees changes to the capital, including prominent Dragon Race statues and a cyan-heavy city aesthetic. Other fierce beasts credit her with governing effectively, while Bi Ji implies the praise overlooks the full reality. 263 287 312

Later Battles

Zi Ji protects Huo Yuhao from Evil Soul Masters, assists in the aftermath of Tang Ya's near-corruption, and later faces enemies connected to Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy. Her instinct is consistently to confront threats head-on, though Gu Yuena and Poseidon sometimes restrain her. 333 334 338 347

• She cannot tolerate being denied Dan Heng's food; Gu Yuena uses the threat of no dinner to make her obey. 113

• She calls herself “this old lady” despite being referred to as a junior female dragon within the Dragon Race. 13 54
