Background / History

Born into the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing was caught in its hereditary succession conflict with the Dai Family. She was expected to fight her own sister, Zhu Zhuyun, as part of the struggle surrounding Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi. While fleeing toward the Heaven Dou Empire, she initially intended to seek out her fiancé Dai Mubai for survival. 41 65 67

Her outlook changed after joining the chat group and witnessing Li Yifei's strength. His existence convinced her that Martial Souls and the Star Luo Empire's rules did not define her future; she began seeking strength and a way to free both herself and the Zhu Family from their imposed cycle of sibling conflict. 10 62 65

During Zhu Zhuyun's pursuit, Zhu Zhuqing recognized that her sister had deliberately avoided lethal attacks. Rather than continue fleeing, she confronted Zhu Zhuyun and argued that the Dai Family's system was a shackle imposed upon their family. 65 66 Their reconciliation was interrupted when Star Luo Shadow Guards attempted to assassinate Zhu Zhuqing for her defiance; Li Yifei destroyed the Soul Devouring Bone Needle and altered the guards' memories. 68

After Li Yifei protected the sisters, Zhu Zhuqing revealed him to Zhu Zhuyun as a “Deity” from a higher dimension. She later accepted the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, acquired her third Soul Ring, and chose to become Li Yifei's apostle alongside her sister—not merely to escape, but to secure a future for the Zhu Family. 69 72 75

By the later time skip, Zhu Zhuqing rules the Star Luo Empire. Pregnancy leads her to plan an abdication, as administrative duties interfere with her cultivation. 93 95

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is depicted as slender and graceful, with a cool, aloof bearing that softens noticeably around those she trusts. 65 76

• Clear, cat-like eyes, often described as cool and sharp. 68 74
• Long hair used to conceal her embarrassment on occasion. 70
• Her movements are phantom-like, silent, and highly agile due to her feline Martial Soul. 65
• Possesses the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul. 67 81

Personality

Initially reserved and concise, Zhu Zhuqing carries deep resentment toward the fate imposed on the Zhu Family. She refuses to accept that sisters must kill each other to preserve the Dai Family's imperial succession, and she develops the courage to challenge that system openly. 62 65 66

Her determination is directed beyond personal survival. She wants the entire Zhu Family to escape its history of internal bloodshed and to live without being sacrificed to royal power struggles. 65 75

Zhu Zhuqing places profound trust in Li Yifei after he repeatedly protects her and gives her opportunities beyond the limits of her world. This attachment becomes open affection, though she remains easily embarrassed. Later, as Star Luo's ruler, she is portrayed as more playful and less severe than before. 68 73 93

Story Role / Major Arcs

Flight from Star Luo

Zhu Zhuqing flees her family while being pursued by Zhu Zhuyun. The chat group's Soul Power reward gives her the means to evade her sister long enough to recognize that the pursuit is not genuinely intended to kill her. 65

Defying the Zhu–Dai Conflict

She confronts Zhu Zhuyun, rejects the Zhu Family's role as a tool of Dai Family succession, and proposes a different life for both sisters. Her defiance causes the Shadow Guards to deem her uncontrollable and attempt to assassinate her. 66 68

Li Yifei's Apostle

Li Yifei rescues her from the Shadow Guards, helps her reach Level 50, and removes the remnant soul threatening her during Soul Ring absorption. Zhu Zhuqing then resolves to follow him as an apostle, seeking liberation for her entire family rather than a private escape. 68 75

Rule of Star Luo

In the later era, Zhu Zhuqing rules the Star Luo Empire. Pregnancy and dissatisfaction with the burden of court administration lead her to prepare a transfer of power to regents. 93 95
