Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing was born as the second young lady of the Zhu Family, the consort clan tied to Star Luo's royal succession system. Children of the Zhu and Dai families were betrothed while young, and only one paired prince and bride could become Crown Prince and Crown Princess; the remaining candidates were expected to die or be crippled. Her arranged fiancé was Dai Mubai. 5 32 55

Her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun, regarded her as a threat. In childhood, Zhu Zhuyun bribed Zhu Zhuqing's attendants and led her party into soul beast territory, where a nine-thousand-year Black Tiger killed her guards. Zhu Zhuqing escaped by fleeing into a river and was rescued by Jiang Qianhai. The betrayal left her determined to oppose Zhu Zhuyun and the Zhu family's system. 1

Jiang Qianhai gave Zhu Zhuqing care and stability she had never experienced at home. He taught her the Eight Extremities Collapse, Exploding Step, and Aura Concealment Art; she then returned to the Zhu Family and pretended to have been psychologically broken by her near-death experience. Over six years, she concealed her true cultivation while Zhu Zhuyun repeatedly subjected her to danger to test whether she was truly crippled. 3 4 5 7

After graduating from the Junior Soul Master Academy, Zhu Zhuqing reunited with Jiang Qianhai and traveled with him toward the Heaven Dou Empire. She intended to annul her engagement to Dai Mubai, while continuing to hide her abilities and cultivate alongside Jiang Qianhai. 7 8

Appearance

Following the evolution of her Martial Soul, Zhu Zhuqing became visibly more beautiful and was often surrounded by dense black Soul Power when using her abilities. 90

• Her original Martial Soul was the Netherworld Cat, also called the Hell Spirit Cat. 7 89
• Her evolved Martial Soul manifests as an indistinct black shadow with dark-blue eyes. 90
• Her eight Soul Rings were yellow, purple, then six black rings; her fourth ring was black with red and nearly one hundred thousand years old. 91

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is initially fearful, guarded, and deeply resentful of her sister's betrayal. Despite this trauma, she is resilient: after surviving the Black Tiger incident and years of deliberate suppression by her family, she remains committed to growing stronger and taking control of her own fate. 1 5 7

She is quiet and reserved in public, but perceptive and strategically minded. She correctly deduced that Dai Mubai was behind an assassination attempt after considering who knew about Jiang Qianhai's strength and who had a motive to target her. 29 32

Her relationship with Jiang Qianhai softens her demeanor. She is affectionate and trusting with him, fiercely defends his family, and eventually accepts his relationships with other women provided they do not undermine the household. 53 55 170

As her strength grows, Zhu Zhuqing becomes increasingly decisive and ruthless. She kills Tang San's Divine Power avatar without hesitation and heals Yu Xiaogang only because he may be useful later. 236
