Background

Zhu Zhuqing is the daughter of the Zhu family head and Dai Mubai’s betrothed. Under the Star Luo succession system, Dai Mubai’s failure would also endanger her; she endured Zhu Zhuyun’s pressure while Dai Mubai fled Star Luo City. She traveled toward Shrek Academy to determine whether he had truly abandoned their engagement. 2 6

At the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, she accompanied Luo Ye during his hunt for a third Soul Ring. She was immediately concerned when the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm entered his body, though she reproached Luo Ye after his impulsive embrace. 1

Zhu Zhuqing receives an exclusive instance of Luo Ye’s Diary, through which she learns of his claimed rebirth, his alleged past-life connection with her, and the coming conflict with Tang San and the God Realm. The diary’s contents gradually shift her trust away from Dai Mubai and toward Luo Ye. 2 6 9

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing has smooth black hair, a cool and beautiful face, and a graceful figure. Following her Martial Soul mutation, her presence becomes notably colder and more alluring. 1 165

• Her Shadow Demon Cat manifestation produces dark cat claws and a shadowy demonic-cat phantom wreathed in black mist. 165
• A red glint passes through her eyes when she completes the third-ring absorption. 165
• Her previous Martial Soul was the feline Netherworld Spirit Cat. 19 165

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is reserved, proud, and decisive. She does not tolerate unwanted familiarity, stands her ground against Dai Mubai, and treats his abandonment as proof that their engagement must end. 1 6 11

She is also practical and considerate of Luo Ye’s broader goals. While helping Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong build rapport with Luo Ye, she prioritizes Xiao Wu’s safety over her own jealousy. 26

Her initial magnanimity toward Gu Yuena gradually turns into open determination to compete. Zhu Zhuqing refuses to use underhanded schemes against her rivals, instead resolving to strengthen herself and pursue Luo Ye more directly. 64 151 154 166
