Background / History

Zhu Family and Succession Rivalry

Zhu Zhuyun is the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Zhu Tianyu and Zhu Caiyun, and Zhu Zhuqing's biological older sister. The Zhu family's ability to form Martial Soul Fusion Skills with the Dai family gives it exceptional standing in the Star Luo Empire 3 8.

The sisters were close before Zhu Zhuqing's engagement to Dai Mubai placed them on opposing sides of the royal succession contest. Its rules threatened the defeated candidates with death, imprisonment, or the crippling of their Martial Souls. Zhu Zhuyun resented the arrangement and Dai Mubai's subsequent flight from the empire 3 4.

She proposed crippling Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul before the contest so that her sister could survive as an ordinary person. Dai Weisi rejected that solution and proposed changing the succession rules instead. Zhu Zhuyun agreed, both to protect her sister and to prevent their future children from facing the same struggle 4.

Reconciliation and Crown Princess Appointment

With Dai Weisi's support, Zhu Zhuyun stopped targeting her sister, and the two gradually resumed an affectionate relationship. Two years later, they openly held hands and behaved like sisters rather than rival succession candidates 12 24.

Dai Pojun eventually abolished the succession selection system, annulled Zhu Zhuqing's engagement to Dai Mubai, and named both sisters Crown Princesses. The decree scheduled their formal marriage to Dai Weisi for Zhu Zhuqing's eighteenth birthday. Zhu Zhuyun welcomed her sister's safety but reacted jealously to sharing her fiancé 60 61.

She later initiated a more intimate relationship with Dai Weisi and moved into the Crown Prince Residence. She regarded being his first partner as securing a special place in his life 64 65 74.

Separation and Return

Dai Weisi's two-year stay in Slaughter City deeply affected Zhu Zhuyun. She lost her appetite, neglected cultivation, and nearly went there to search for him; Zhu Zhuqing and the others kept watch over her to prevent it. Their reunion was emotional, and Dai Weisi comforted her after learning how much she had worried 286.

She subsequently resumed cultivating alongside him, obtained her Seventh Soul Ring, and underwent a major transformation through Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Her later training carried her through Soul Douluo to Level 96 289 291 303 313 413.

Appearance

• Hair and complexion: Initially has soft, short black hair and snow-white skin; her hair reaches her shoulders by the time she attains Level 40 3 24.
• Build: Tall and slender, with a curvaceous figure and long, well-proportioned legs 24.
• Usual clothing: Fitted black leather clothing and black high heels; also wears a black nightgown at the Crown Prince Residence 24 74.
• Facial features: Large, expressive eyes and two dimples when she smiles 3 24.
• Martial Soul Possession: Takes on feline features, including claws and a swaying tail 180 198.
• Illusion activation: Her eyes turn purple when she uses Netherworld Spring Fall 69 198.

Personality

Zhu Zhuyun is affectionate, playful, and possessive toward Dai Weisi. Early in their engagement, she sulks when he approaches maids and even interferes with fusion practice to make her displeasure known. Later, she becomes more comfortable expressing affection publicly, though she remains jealous of other women receiving his attention 3 85 127 262.

Her apparent ruthlessness toward Zhu Zhuqing is rooted partly in the succession system. Although she suggests destroying her sister's Martial Soul, she does so because she fears the alternatives of execution or permanent imprisonment. Once that threat disappears, her protective affection becomes more direct 4 61 121.

She grows more willing to accommodate Dai Weisi's other relationships when they benefit him and the empire. She accepts Tang Yuehua's political engagement despite personal discomfort and embraces the prospect of becoming empress of a unified continent 149 152 403.

In combat, she is confident and decisive. She volunteers to absorb unusually old Soul Rings, issues clear team orders, and attacks immediately when an opponent is vulnerable. Her cruelty remains evident toward enemies, particularly Dai Mubai 68 172 198.
