Background

Bai Mu has served as Secretary-General of the Star Ancient Empire for hundreds of millions of years. Her office is described as uniquely unshakable within the Imperial Secretariat, standing above even first-class secretaries. She handles the Emperor's personal affairs, government documents, communications, and visible security while also acting as his public representative. 74 280

She is the sole remaining member of her Bai Clan lineage. Her branch was once considered the most likely to produce the clan head, but was destroyed on the Four-Dimensional Battlefield. Yang Yu later offered her the opportunity to retrieve members of her lineage from the past through the Time-Space Tunnel; Bai Mu declined, regarding the matter as long past and dedicating herself wholly to the Emperor. 156

Appearance

Bai Mu is usually portrayed in the formal attire and restrained manner expected of the Imperial Secretary-General.

• Maintains a respectful, composed bearing before Yang Yu.
• Often stands at the Emperor's side or follows directly behind him during official duties and travel.

Personality

Bai Mu is cautious, diligent, and exceptionally loyal. She is trusted with sensitive reports, unspoken orders, and matters the Cabinet cannot resolve. Her discretion is such that she can understand Yang Yu's intent without requiring explicit instructions. 169 380

Though bound by imperial law, Bai Mu is feared for her decisiveness. She is willing to impose uncompromising terms on hostile powers, including threatening the Chapman Family with a comprehensive strike if they refuse to become a Subsidiary Civilization. 156

Her loyalty is personal as well as institutional: after refusing to alter the past for her destroyed lineage, the person she admits caring for is Yang Yu. 156
