Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing was born into the Star Luo Zhu Family and was tied to Dai Mubai through an engagement. Her childhood was shaped by exclusion, imprisonment, assassination attempts, and the lethal political expectations surrounding the Zhu and Dai families. She ultimately fled Star Luo and later abandoned Dai Mubai and their engagement. 153 235

The Heavenly Dao Rankings revealed that she is the reincarnation of Gu Xun'er, whose appearance was identical to hers but whose personality was notably warmer and more playful. The revelation gave Zhu Zhuqing access to Gu Xun'er's cultivation knowledge, combat skills, and inherited powers; it also revealed her past-life connection to Yu Bai. 15 17 22

After the revelation, Zhu Zhuqing cultivated the techniques she inherited and became a target for those seeking the foundation of a Dou Di-level powerhouse. Tang San publicly exposed her identity as an Exposer, prompting multiple factions to pursue her techniques. 63 75

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a striking young woman with long dark hair, a slender waist, and a notably mature figure. Her usual attire includes a tight purple leather outfit, complementing her cool and feline bearing. 62

• Cold, watery eyes that can shine with golden fire when using inherited power. 62 72
• Long dark hair that can lengthen during combat transformations. 52 78
• Described as combining an ethereal, refined presence with the allure of a wildcat. 62
• Her appearance is identical to that of Gu Xun'er in her past life. 15

Personality

Initially, Zhu Zhuqing is reserved, icy, and emotionally guarded. She rarely mingles with others and often responds to threats or provocation with calm contempt rather than visible anger. 4 5 52

She is clear-minded and strongly opposed to hypocrisy. When Zhao Wuji criticized her inaction during the Canghui Academy incident, she condemned the idea that those who provoke others should be exempt from retaliation. 51

Her inherited memories and growing strength gradually soften her demeanor. She becomes more playful and sharp-tongued around Yu Bai, while retaining her composure, independence, and willingness to confront danger. 97

Abilities & Skills

Dou Di Inheritance

As Gu Xun'er's reincarnation, Zhu Zhuqing inherits cultivation knowledge, life experience, combat skills, and powerful flame-based techniques associated with a Dou Di-level existence. 22 63 75

• Can cultivate combat skills ranging from Profound-rank to Heaven-rank. 22
• Her inheritance is sought as the “foundation of a Dou Di powerhouse.” 75
• Her strength and potential are considered significant enough to influence the war between Star Luo and Heaven Dou. 218

Goddess Phantom Martial Soul

When channeling her inherited power, Zhu Zhuqing can manifest a goddess projection resembling the adult Gu Xun'er. 22

• Appears behind her when her Soul Power is directed through her palm. 22
• The projection becomes more solid after Ning Rongrong enhances her. 78
• Its eyes can manifest golden flame and orange fire lotuses. 78

Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame

A devastating golden flame Zhu Zhuqing uses as both a deterrent and a killing technique. 73 77

• She held it in reserve while anticipating Tang San's scheme. 73
• Instantly killed a masked Titled Douluo who attacked her and Ning Rongrong. 77
• Its use heavily exhausts her at her then-current cultivation, leaving her pale and vulnerable. 78
• Tang San regarded her possession of the flame as a major threat. 73 77

Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame

An even more formidable flame power that Zhu Zhuqing can combine with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. 79

• Used alongside the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame to activate the Emperor's Seal Art. 79
• Its potential is stated to surpass the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. 79
• The threat of its release deters further attacks even when Zhu Zhuqing is nearly drained. 79

Emperor's Seal Art

A high-grade Earth-rank combat skill capable of producing immense destructive force. 22 79

• Includes the seals Mountain-Splitting, Sea-Overturning, and Earth-Covering. 78
• Zhu Zhuqing can combine all three seals into a single attack. 78
• When fueled by both heavenly flames and all her Soul Power, it forms a giant palm that obliterates a mountain and kills two Titled Douluo. 79
• Using it at full force almost completely drains her power. 79

Other Inherited Techniques

Zhu Zhuqing identifies several inherited combat skills after the Heavenly Dao Rankings reveal her past life. 22

• Swallow Reversal Strike — Profound-rank, high-grade combat skill. 22
• Guardian Trigram Palm — Profound-rank, high-grade combat skill. 22
• Great Nirvana Finger — Heaven-rank combat skill. 22
• Ancient Emperor's One Finger — Heaven-rank combat skill. 22
• Seven-Colored Golden Clan Mark — Heaven-rank combat skill. 22

Relationships

• Yu Bai — Her past-life beloved and Gu Xun'er's “Xiao Yan-gege.” Zhu Zhuqing is anxious to meet him after learning he has reincarnated, and their present relationship develops into affectionate teasing and mutual attachment. 15 81 97 141
• Ning Rongrong — Close friend and trusted companion. Zhu Zhuqing shields Ning Rongrong from Tang San's hidden weapons; Ning Rongrong later risks her life to shield Zhu Zhuqing and enhances her during battle. 52 77 78
• Zhu Zhuyun — Older sister. Zhu Zhuqing once viewed her with both love and hatred, believing she had repeatedly attempted to kill her; she later recognizes that Zhu Zhuyun may have covertly protected her. 220 221
• Dai Mubai — Former fiancé. Zhu Zhuqing left him and their engagement behind; Dai Mubai remains resentful over her departure. 153
• Tang San — Hostile fellow Exposer. Zhu Zhuqing publicly exposes his hypocrisy, after which he repeatedly directs killing intent toward her and reveals her identity to provoke others into targeting her. 52 72 75
• Chen Xin — Sword Douluo who protects Zhu Zhuqing after Tang San reveals her identity; he is shocked by her hidden strength. 75 79
• Gu Rong — Bone Douluo who intervenes to protect her from Tang Hao and later recognizes her efforts in saving Ning Rongrong. 78 79
• Duke Zhu — Her biological father. Zhu Zhuqing shows no filial attachment to him and refuses his request to aid Star Luo against Heaven Dou. 221

Story Role / Major Arcs

Heavenly Dao Rankings Revelation

The rankings identify Zhu Zhuqing as Gu Xun'er's reincarnation and establish her connection to Yu Bai. The experience forces her to reconsider her own personality, past, and future. 15 17

Shrek Conflict

Zhu Zhuqing challenges Shrek's double standards after the Canghui Academy confrontation. She rejects Zhao Wuji's demand for unquestioning companionship and directly calls out Tang San's contradiction between his actions and Tang Sect principles. 51 52

Exposer Hunt

Tang San exposes her as an Exposer before several powerful factions, causing her inherited techniques to become the object of widespread greed. Chen Xin and Gu Rong protect her as Tang Hao and others attempt to seize her. 75 78

Battle Against the Masked Titled Douluo

After Ning Rongrong shields her from an attacker, Zhu Zhuqing unleashes the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame to kill the assailant. With Ning Rongrong's support, she combines the three Emperor's Seal Art seals and later uses both heavenly flames to annihilate a mountain and kill two Titled Douluo. 77 78 79

Reconciliation with Zhu Zhuyun

While attending the tournament in Spirit City, Zhu Zhuqing begins reassessing her sister's past actions. She concludes that Zhu Zhuyun never truly intended to kill her and places her sister's well-being above the interests of the Zhu Family and Star Luo Empire. 220 221 222

Trivia

• She remained composed enough to continue eating elegantly while the Shrek and Canghui students fought around her. 48
• She considers the Martial Soul cultivation system dangerously flawed, particularly the residual Soul Beast will left behind after Soul Ring absorption. 62
