Background / History

Liu Yu was the World Combat Club's proud, selective head coach. Her decision to personally invite Zhou En after his match drew immediate disbelief from club members, who considered him unworthy of attention from their “goddess” coach. She established her authority soon afterward by reprimanding members who harassed Zhou En and Chubby during registration. 4 5 6

As Zhou En pursued an official-team position, Liu Yu prepared a personalized training plan for him and continued guiding him through the club's internal conflicts. Their professional relationship became increasingly personal: she worried when he was targeted by Li Hui, accepted meals with him, and offered him a guest room and breakfast after his expulsion from school. 24 28 58 62

During the Hundred Schools War, Liu Yu became one of the first people to openly challenge the competition's manipulation. She protested the organizers' favoritism, requested drug testing for Li Ming, and was removed by security after directly questioning the Wang family's fairness. When crucial match footage was erased, she contacted her father and agreed to return to the Liu family in exchange for his help exposing the doping and referee bias. 96 97 99

Liu Yu later distanced herself from Zhou En, changing her number and blocking his calls. They reunited when she found him being beaten at the Liu family's entrance; she ordered Liu family security to punish the attackers and sought a way to restore Zhou En's crippled martial arts. She subsequently helped arrange his admission into the Liu family and access to treatment at the Liu family hospital. 142 180 193 195 196

Within the Liu family, Liu Yu repeatedly defended Zhou En against internal hostility. She challenged Liu Hongwei's falsified medical evidence, redirected the doctors' attention to the missing paper report, and helped expose the scheme that led to Liu Hongwei and Liu Ning being expelled. 211 217 218 220

• Slender phoenix-like eyebrows.
• Bright, star-like eyes.
• Delicate oval face and jade-like nose.

Personality

Liu Yu is stern, proud, and quick-tempered, particularly when she sees injustice or disloyalty. She openly rebukes club members, confronts powerful organizers, and refuses to remain silent when Liu family members attempt to frame Zhou En. 5 97 217

Despite her cold and disciplined exterior, she is deeply caring toward those she values. She provides Zhou En with training, shelter, practical support, and reassurance during his lowest periods. Her distress when seeing him with another girl, her excitement after his victories, and her repeated interventions on his behalf imply feelings that extend beyond a standard coach-student bond. 13 24 75 211

Liu Yu also values accountability. Although she worries about Zhou En after his fight with Liu Liu, she does not excuse his actions and bluntly tells Zhang Li and Leng Yanxi that he bears responsibility for escalating the conflict. 224 227
