Background

Yu Ji was once a disciple of the Armored Soldier Sect. Chief Constable Shi pursued her while they were both in the sect, but she had loved someone else. After a conflict connected to a Dragon Tendon, she withdrew to Stone Rock County for ten years. 33 225

Known publicly as Madam Shi, she initially presents herself as an aloof noblewoman with a private passion for opera. Her encounters with Chu Qing begin when he seeks Secret Medicine from her; his willingness to watch, praise, and repeatedly demand performances pushes her to resume singing despite her self-imposed taboo. 32 33 47

Behind this persona, Yu Ji concealed exceptional cultivation. By the time her Heaven-Connecting Path was revealed, she had already surpassed the Flesh and Viscera Realms assumed by outsiders. Her Dragon Tendon cultivation and Armored Soldier Sect Secret Transmission became the foundation of her future position in the sect and her survival through the Millennial Calamity. 104 145

Appearance

Yu Ji carries herself with the measured bearing of a high-born lady: upright posture, restrained movements, and a perpetually cool expression. Her opera attire contrasts sharply with her usual reserve. 37

• Wears her hair high, decorated with gold and silver hairpieces. 37
• Has appeared in a large red robe with gold trim, compared to a fire phoenix. 37
• Uses elaborate opera makeup and long water sleeves when performing. 37 47
• Often dresses in white in later appearances. 636
• Her cultivation can leave her body and touch ice-cold. 348 1210

Personality

Yu Ji is cold, proud, and intensely private. She treats formality and ceremony seriously, particularly in opera, and regularly derides Chu Qing as a “stable boy” when he disregards her standards. Yet her detached demeanor conceals a strong need for recognition as a performer. 145 419 471

She is fiercely ambitious and unwilling to accept inferiority. Being surpassed by Chu Qing repeatedly intensifies her competitive drive; she seeks the Overlord title and the Ancient Mythological Path partly to one day stand above him. 1008 1273

Her loyalty is expressed through decisive, often ruthless action. Despite having hidden in Stone Rock County to avoid danger, she kills enemies pursuing Chu Qing, carries him away when he is unconscious, and repeatedly places herself in danger to protect him. 211 322 323

Abilities & Skills

• Possesses a method suited to opening a weapons Heaven-Connecting Path, though she rejects the Overlord Spear as unsuitable for herself. 348

Overlord Oddity

• The Oddity grows by consuming powerful bloodlines and physiques, then feeds its accumulated power back into Yu Ji. 1327

• Regards herself as the one paving and widening the God-Demon Dao. 1210
