Background

Zhu Zhuqing was born into the Zhu family, one of the four great noble families of the Star Luo Empire. Betrothed since childhood to Prince Dai Mubai, she was drawn into the Star Luo royal succession struggle and believed that failure against Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhu Yun could mean death. She initially joined Shrek Academy to escape becoming a sacrifice to that system. 11

She first sought Su Ran as a master because of his extraordinary ability to develop disciples' Martial Souls. Su Ran refused after she framed her goal solely as survival and defeating her relatives, judging her thinking flawed. 11 After Dai Mubai attempted to force their engagement upon her, Zhu Zhuqing returned injured to Peach Blossom Spring Academy. She declared that she wanted strength not merely to survive, but to live for herself and break free of her family's control. Su Ran then accepted her as a disciple. 13

Personality

Initially reserved and desperate to escape an arranged fate, Zhu Zhuqing is a woman of few words who places decisive action above argument. Her conviction gradually shifts from survival to self-determination, and she refuses to let either her family or the Star Luo royal house dictate her life. 13 22 120

She is fiercely protective of those she considers family. When Star Luo pursuers injured Zhu Zhu Yu and threatened the Zhu clan's women, Zhu Zhuqing responded with lethal force. Despite her cold exterior, she recognizes Peach Blossom Spring Academy and its disciples as her true home and family. 160 164
