Background / History
Ji Xingyue was born to Emperor Ji Yunwen and Noble Consort Wu. Her maternal uncle, Lord Wu'an, was a renowned general and Martial Saint; after he vanished during a southern expedition, Consort Wu was framed and banished to the Cold Palace. Following her mother's death, Ji Xingyue—despite being a princess—was sent to the Clean Clothes Workshop and bullied. 94 112
During her years in the Cold Palace, Su Changqing saved her while concealing his identity as “Li Kongxiang.” Ji Xingyue remembered the black-clad rescuer and later described him as the person who had come to her when she had no one left. 6 94
Her latent destiny began awakening by the time she was nearly sixteen. At the Grand Court Assembly, Ji Yunwen formally acknowledged her as his thirty-fourth daughter, and later bestowed upon her the title of First Princess. 118 119
Appearance
Ji Xingyue is repeatedly described as a peerless beauty with an ethereal, moonlike presence. She commonly wears a golden feathered robe and carries herself with the composed authority of an empress. 93 112 516

Personality
Ji Xingyue is intensely proud, self-reliant, and unwilling to regard suffering as an excuse for weakness. She endured the Cold Palace and the Clean Clothes Workshop without complaint, believing that hardship is merely the nature of the weak. 95
She is also calculating and ruthless toward enemies. After awakening, she branded powerful figures into service, killed Lin Xiangyang for exploiting his daughter, and personally executed Ji Feng and Qin Hui to avenge Lord Wu'an. 94 107 174
Her severity contrasts with fierce loyalty toward those she considers family. Su Changqing is the sole family she recognizes besides her deceased mother and uncle, and she repeatedly risks her position, power, and life to protect him. 229 354 512
