Background / History
Mu Nujiao first encounters Mo Fan during a battle with a Mimic Demon Beast. Although she had prepared a protective Magic Artifact against its ambush, she uses Earth Forest: Prison to seize an opening, revealing that she had already mastered Intermediate Plant magic while still in high school 23.
After enrolling at Pearl Institute, she becomes the Green Campus freshmen’s “National Goddess.” She shares Jinyuan Apartment with Ai Tutu and later Mo Fan, balancing cultivation with household responsibilities 34 35 51.
She joins Mo Fan and Ai Tutu for the Main Campus Shadow Demon Beast assessment, where she immediately understands Mo Fan’s plan to sell Three-Step Tower cultivation opportunities and arranges for her family to purchase one 51. Her relationship with Mo Fan gradually becomes romantic; after the Nomination Competition, they formally deepen their relationship, and Mo Fan promises her cultivation resources, Magic Tools, and Magic Artifacts 122.
Mu Nujiao later receives a Star River Vein to attempt a High-Level breakthrough, studies Ice magic under Qin Yuer, and joins the National Government Team in place of Zhou Xu 192 208 216. She subsequently defeats Mu Tingying in a decisive duel and continues serving alongside the team in international competition 237.
In later years, she is re-hired by Pearl Institute and works there alongside Ai Tutu. She also helps Mo Fan arrange Apas’s magic awakening and auditing enrollment 380 444.
Appearance
Mu Nujiao is repeatedly noted for her elegant beauty, fair complexion, long legs, and refined figure. As she matures, her presence becomes more composed and professional, with the quiet elegance of a white orchid 35 495 500.
- Silky long hair, often tied up before combat 93 237
- Fair, rosy complexion and watery eyes 444

Personality
Mu Nujiao is intelligent, perceptive, and practical. She quickly sees through Mo Fan’s schemes without exposing him unnecessarily, such as when she negotiates the purchase of a Three-Step Tower slot for her family 51.
Although gentle and considerate with people close to her, she is not passive. She is outwardly composed but inwardly strong, able to confront provocation directly and defend Mo Fan or Mu Ningxue without hesitation 217 220. Her early reputation describes her as “beautiful as a celestial being, addicted to battle like a demon” 289.
She is also diligent about cultivation and can become insecure when comparing her progress to Mo Fan’s, but responds by working harder rather than withdrawing 190 208.
