Background / History
Li Sushang was pulled through a black-hole-like teleportation event alongside the Herrscher of Reason, arriving near Fu Hua after the latter's System lottery draw 34. She is the eldest disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect and learned martial arts from her mother, who was herself Fu Hua's disciple; this makes Sushang Fu Hua's grand-disciple 35.
After reuniting with Fu Hua, Sushang traveled to Taixu Mountain and became part of its extended household. She trained, sparred, assisted with errands, and supported Fu Hua's other disciples while adapting to the new world 36 41 51.
During the Outer Ring void-clearance effort, Sushang partnered with the Herrscher of Reason to handle the southern voids while Fu Hua and Cui Ji conducted rescues elsewhere 51. She later joined Belle's Casual Observation Faction alongside the Anti-Air Sixth Division to oppose the Praise Society 117.
Appearance
Sushang commonly wears Daoist-inspired clothing suited to cultivation and sword practice.
- Green-and-white dress, paired with a bamboo paper umbrella during the Outer Ring operation 51
- Yellow-and-white Daoist robe, which Hoshimi Miyabi later borrows after her own clothes are damaged 49
- Carries swords ranging from a bamboo sword to an ice-blue longsword 41 51
Personality
Sushang is respectful and dutiful toward Fu Hua, consistently addressing her as Ancestral Master and readily carrying out requests on Taixu Mountain 35 52. She is also patient with others' growth: she spars with Hoshimi Miyabi, explains martial principles, and adjusts her teaching to Miyabi's needs 41 125.
Though often caught off guard by Miyabi's direct affection, Sushang takes their relationship seriously. She asks to progress gradually rather than reject Miyabi outright, later choosing to accompany her back to work and help her meet her responsibilities 115 117 122.
