Background

Zhu Zhuqing was born into the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire, whose members had maintained marriage alliances with the imperial Dai family for generations. Betrothed to Dai Mubai, she was drawn into the Star Luo succession struggle, where failed competitors faced lifelong imprisonment or death. Despite possessing only Innate Soul Power of level 7, she cultivated to level 27 before turning twelve through persistent effort. 10 56

Dai Mubai fled Star Luo City rather than face the family competition, leaving Zhu Zhuqing behind. She later followed him to Shrek Academy, but saw him entering a hotel with two women shortly after arriving in Suotuo City. This confirmed his reputation as a playboy and deepened her resentment toward both him and their binding engagement. 10 14

At Shrek Academy, Zhu Zhuqing initially regarded Tang Yu with suspicion and challenged his claim to possess level 38 Soul Power. After he proved it, she kissed his cheek to honor her wager and provoke Dai Mubai's reaction. Tang Yu then forcibly kissed her, triggering Dai Mubai's jealous attack and exposing the fractures in Zhu Zhuqing's engagement. 10 13 14

Although she resented Tang Yu for taking her first kiss, she became increasingly drawn to his strength and protection. When he chose to leave Shrek Academy, she realized that she had developed feelings for him, but initially hesitated to confess because of her Star Luo obligations. 15 16 23 25

Zhu Zhuqing ultimately chose Tang Yu's team over Dai Mubai's during the wilderness teacher-student competition. After suffering a serious leg injury while shielding Tang Yu from a Godly Zhuge Crossbow bolt, she resolved to reject the fate imposed by her engagement and cultivate strongly enough to change her own destiny. Tang Yu gave her the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone and offered Clear Sky Sect protection in exchange for lifelong loyalty. 48 52 56

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a beautiful, cool-looking girl whose movements carry a catlike grace. She usually wears tight leather clothing suited to her agility-focused fighting style. 9

• Maintains an aloof expression and icy demeanor. 9
• Uses a catlike gait and rapid, explosive movement in combat. 9 77
• Usually wears fitted leather attire; she is notably uncomfortable when wearing skirts and more formal dance clothing. 69
• Wore black stockings during the dance she performed with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. 69

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is initially guarded, blunt, and distrustful of men, shaped by Dai Mubai's abandonment and infidelity. She does not easily accept Tang Yu's claims or attention, and reacts sharply when she believes he is looking at her improperly. 9 10

Beneath her reserved exterior, she is determined and emotionally intense. She endured years of pressure, suppression, and assassination attempts in Star Luo City, then chose to resist the engagement that had governed her life. Her willingness to take a crossbow bolt for Tang Yu and later confront Zhu Zhuyun directly reflects her readiness to risk herself for those and goals she values. 52 56 87

She becomes more open about her feelings over time, though she remains shy in romantic situations. Competition from Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and later Shui Bing'er pushes her to act more decisively rather than remain detached. 48 51 61 69
