Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing was born into the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire, whose members were bound to the Dai Family through generations of intermarriage because of the compatibility between the Netherworld Cat and White Tiger Soul Spirits. As Dai Mubai’s fiancée, she was drawn into the empire’s Throne Seizing Battle against Dai Mubai’s brother Davis and her own elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun. 13 17

When Dai Mubai fled to Soto City, the burden of the succession conflict fell on Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuyun repeatedly abused and arranged assassinations against her, though the Star Luo royal family prevented the competition from becoming a one-sided execution. Zhu Zhuqing eventually left Star Luo and traveled to Soto City to find Dai Mubai. 13 14

In Soto City, she found Dai Mubai embracing twin girls at a hotel. Despite her anger, she remained outwardly composed, used Netherworld Hundred Claws to beat him, and left immediately afterward. 14 15

Soon after, Li Ang contacted her through a hairpin under the identity “Old You.” With Dai Mubai offering no dependable support and Zhu Zhuyun remaining a lethal threat, Zhu Zhuqing accepted Li Ang as her teacher. 15 16

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a beautiful girl with a cool, detached temperament and a notably voluptuous figure. Her appearance is repeatedly contrasted with her restrained and icy demeanor. 13 21

• Usually maintains a cold, expressionless exterior even when angered. 14 21
• Her first Soul Spirit is the Netherworld Cat.
• Her second Soul Spirit manifests as an Evil Eye White Tiger in her left hand. 18
• After clearing the Hell Road, the tail of her Netherworld Cat bears a circle of white markings associated with the God of Slaughter Domain. 227

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is vigilant, reserved, and intensely determined to control her own fate. Years of harassment and assassination attempts by Zhu Zhuyun made her highly alert to danger. 14 15

She is pragmatic in battle and increasingly willing to use lethal or unconventional methods when necessary. Li Ang teaches her not to be constrained by martial morality, and she applies this lesson through ambushes, poison, hidden weapons, and decisive strikes. 27 29 32

Despite her outward aloofness, she places profound trust in Li Ang. In unfamiliar or dangerous situations, her first instinct is to seek “Old You”’s guidance; she believes his help allowed her to escape her original fate. 219
