Background / History

Jiang Shuyue was renowned as the foremost beauty of White Emperor City. Zhao Yingpeng insisted on marrying her despite his family's contempt for her humble origins and mediocre cultivation talent; the Jiang Family's enormous dowry secured the marriage. She was later demoted to a concubine, while Su Yingluo became Zhao Yingpeng's favored wife. 2

She is the daughter of Jiang Wen and mother of Jiang Ping'an. When Jiang Ping'an was regarded as having a Mortal Body, she nevertheless took pride in his extraordinary talents as an alchemist, talisman master, artifact refiner, and martial artist. 11 Fearful that Zhao Yingpeng would endanger her son after becoming heir to the Zhennan Marquis Estate, she attempted to leave White Emperor City with Jiang Ping'an. 12

Jiang Ping'an was eventually taken to the Zhennan Marquis Estate and placed under house arrest. Jiang Shuyue was ordered to bear all of his living expenses and was emotionally devastated, but recovered her will after being reminded that her son depended upon her. 17 Her determination to rescue him drove her cultivation forward; after reaching the Divine Treasury Realm, she accepted the Li Family's challenge over the Jiang Family soap formula. 21

At the Life-and-Death Arena, Jiang Shuyue killed four Li Family Divine Treasury Realm cultivators, including their patriarch, establishing the Jiang Family's dominance and making her feared throughout White Emperor City. 23 She later pursued the Dragon Transformation Realm so she could eventually rescue Jiang Ping'an from the Zhennan Marquis Estate. 23

After Su Yingluo attacked her in Jade Capital, Jiang Shuyue chose to join the frontline army against foreign races to earn military merit and cultivation resources. 90 There, she served as one of the army's top-tier Dragon Transformation Realm experts rather than as a commanding officer, focusing on killing enemies and deterring opposing high-level combatants. 114

During a confrontation with Zhao Yingpeng, she used the Soul Transformation Forbidden Art in an attempt to kill him and prevent Jiang Ping'an from falling into his hands. The resulting severe soul injury left her comatose; Jiang Ping'an preserved her body and soul with the Nine-Colored Ice Soul Nurturing Pearl in a Soul-Nurturing Jade Coffin. 134 141 She later regained consciousness and remembered Jiang Ping'an's visits during her slumber. 225

Jiang Shuyue was subsequently awakened again after nearly twenty years in the Soul-Nourishing Cold Jade Coffin, aided by Lin Zihan's Yin Water. She prioritized reuniting with her father and brothers over immediately taking revenge on Zhao Yingpeng. 420 After returning to Ping'an City, she was introduced to Jiang Ping'an's household and resumed cultivating with Insight Tea Leaves. 429

She retains a strong sense of independence.
