Background / History
Li Qingzi is the eldest daughter of the March Group and held a 35% stake in its chip group, second only to the conglomerate's controller, Li Xianhou. Though she was rarely involved in the company’s public business at the time, her family valued her highly. She studied at a university in the Free Federation, while rumors tied her and March Group personnel to unexplained explosions and apparent accidents in Korea. 110
Before becoming Bai Cangshu's subordinate, she was a notorious Reincarnator known as Moon Demon. She rose later than the other Four Demons but was regarded as one of their stronger combatants due to her sword mastery and unyielding spirit. 316 During the conflict involving Pei Chenjun, she transformed into Moon Demon and killed him to protect her identity. 167
Li Qingzi initially attempted to capture and enslave Bai Cangshu during a mission in the Dragon Ball derivative world. Her decision failed; Bai Cangshu defeated her, and their positions were reversed. He later imposed restrictions on her and treated her resources as his own. 222 230 317
After returning to Goryeo, she demonstrated her executive capability by directing March Group personnel, reallocating resources, and taking charge of the conglomerate's response to the public emergence of supernatural ability users. 353 Her influence eventually expanded into control of the group and Goryeo’s Ability User infrastructure. 504 592
Appearance
Li Qingzi is repeatedly described as a tall, imposing woman with long black hair, pale or fair skin, and a formidable, cold presence. Her appearance varies between elegant corporate attire and combat gear. 331 353 448
- Often wears tailored suits, including black, white, and red-and-black outfits. 331 448 592
- Uses a half-mask while operating in the Reincarnator space. 445

Personality
Li Qingzi is intelligent, disciplined, and highly competent in corporate management. She acquired a major stake in the March Group’s intelligent-device sector through her own ability rather than solely through family favor, and she handles internal reports and resource allocation efficiently. 353
As Moon Demon, she is ruthless and practical. She kills quickly when pursuing an objective, regards weakness as a reason to seek greater power, and comes to see traditional rules and hierarchy as restraints imposed by the strong upon the weak. 450 457 Her experiences under Bai Cangshu’s control initially leave her fearful, resentful, and conflicted, but they also intensify her desire to become stronger. 331 447 504
Her greatest internal struggle is between her remaining attachment to conventional order—family, Goryeo, status, and hierarchy—and the more violent, malicious self she discovers in battle. By confronting that side of herself, she regains her fighting spirit and begins to pursue power with greater decisiveness. 340 456 504
