Background
Lu Yaoyao was taken in as Cao Zhengyang’s sixth personal disciple after arriving at Taiqing Sect. At her welcoming ceremony, she was immediately eager to learn about Zhou Qing and openly fascinated by his reputation before they had even met. Their first exchange leaves both of them strongly aware of one another. 2
Her early life was marked by abandonment and flight. She recalls being born to a mother who did not raise her, being mocked by other children, and being left with a hunter named Lu for three years while her father disappeared. The hunter gave her the name Lu Yaoyao. Nightmares later reveal her fear that her father repeatedly left to draw away pursuers. 90 95
She cultivates at an exceptional pace after joining Taiqing Sect, eventually attaining Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. Zhou Qing later discovers that her affection toward him is partly shaped by his resemblance to a deceased brother, while she increasingly treats him as family. 111 118 145
At Spirit Skull Mountain, Lu Yaoyao leads Zhou Qing toward opportunities she remembers or recognizes, participates in dangerous combat, and absorbs the Star Spirit. Her trust in Zhou Qing deepens during their travels, while he begins deliberately teaching her observation, caution, and survival skills. 147 149 151
A silver-haired woman gives her the Ice Purity Art and the matching divine ability Ice Lotus. Lu Yaoyao accepts immediately, believing the gift may have come from her birth mother. She later enters the White Jade Grand Ruins Academy under Lu Yuanzhi, who recognizes her rare ice-aligned physique and personally trains her. 170 190 191
Her pursuit of an Intent Realm produces the Filial Piety Conception, built from paintings of every meaningful moment she shares with Zhou Qing. She accompanies him on increasingly dangerous journeys both to grow stronger and to collect experiences for this conception. 295 320
After Zhou Qing disappears, Lu Yaoyao searches for him across the Saint Martial Dynasty and beyond. During their reunion, she reveals that she is a daughter from the future: she came to the present timeline at age twelve and has been searching for both of her parents. 359 437
Her claim is later complicated by evidence that the young present-day Yao Yao may not be the same person as Lu Yaoyao. Zhou Qing notes their differing appearances and the absence of Lu Yaoyao’s usual mental-impression label, leaving the connection unresolved. 516
Appearance
Lu Yaoyao is initially described as a tall, slender girl with an oval face, fair skin, bright eyes, and long black hair reaching her waist. Her appearance is notably fresh, pure, and lively. 2
- Initially wears a yellow skirt, with a deerskin pouch and a string of golden bells at her waist. 2

Personality
Lu Yaoyao is curious, expressive, and quick to become excited by mysteries, gossip, exploration, or opportunities for adventure. She enjoys piecing together clues, as shown when she independently deduces that her residence may conceal an Earth Dao connected to the Flame Spirit Blood Pool. 2 118
She is deeply affectionate toward Zhou Qing, whom she repeatedly admires as extraordinary. Her attachment is familial rather than romantic in her own understanding, though her attempts to arrange relationships for him often create misunderstandings. 76 385 437
Despite her playful and meddlesome tendencies, she is obedient when entrusted with something serious and is determined not to become a burden. She faces fear, traumatic memories, and feelings of inadequacy by continuing to cultivate and seeking more experiences for her Intent Realm. 95 149 209 397
