Background / History

Su Tianyu travels north toward the Capital with Granny Gui when Beast Taming Villa begins pursuing her for the Myriad Phoenix Atlas. Shi Yuhu seeks to capture her for ransom rather than accept her offer to surrender the atlas, forcing her group to escape by grappling hook while her eagle delays their pursuers. 71

The atlas was destroyed and divided by her father: one half remains with him, while the other is tattooed on Su Tianyu's back. When capture seems unavoidable, she entrusts Jiang Shuo with memorizing her half and delivering it to her father; she is prepared to destroy the tattooed portion rather than let Beast Taming Villa obtain it. 73

During the ensuing pursuit, Su Tianyu repeatedly attempts to free herself and protect Granny Gui, coordinating attacks with her eagle Ling'er. Shi Yuhu ultimately captures Granny Gui and uses her life to pressure Su Tianyu into surrendering the atlas. 74 Su Tianyu later escapes Beast Taming Villa with Jiang Shuo and Granny Gui after the Tiger King disrupts the villa's forces, though she collapses from her injuries during their flight. 77

Shi Yuhu later poisons her with the Seven Dragon Soul Lock. Her condition is stabilized at the Hundred Flowers Sect, where Zhongyang diagnoses the poison and prepares an antidote. 89 100 Gu Han subsequently urges Jiang Shuo to get Su Tianyu out of the Hundred Flowers Sect, apparently after examining her bones, but refuses to reveal the danger he discovered. 128

Beast Taming Villa captures Jiang Shuo and Yu Yuhan to lure Su Tianyu out. She knowingly enters their trap to negotiate for their release, then escapes during Yu Yuhan's diversion by striking Shi Yuhu, biting his hand, and summoning Ling'er with a whistle. 148 152 After choosing to lead the Vermilion Bird Workshop disciples to safety rather than remain with Jiang Shuo, she is eventually rescued by the Iron Cloud Gang through Mo Chen's intervention. 153 159

Later, Su Tianyu is captured again when Beast Taming Villa overwhelms the Vermilion Bird Workshop. She is rescued aboard a ship after Chu Jingyun defeats Shi Yubao, breaking Beast Taming Villa's remaining resistance. 162 163

In Penglai, Jiang Shuo searches for the missing Su Tianyu. After they reunite, she travels with Jiang Shuo, Granny Gui, and Lingxiao Mountain disciples while being pursued by Men in Black. Her prior experience with one attacker leaves her deeply anxious at nightfall, but she helps analyze the enemy's evasive movement and later identifies the likely location of the hidden mastermind behind the puppet assailants. 173 177 183

Appearance

Su Tianyu is described as a graceful young woman with delicate brows, clear eyes, and a composed bearing. Her face can betray restrained embarrassment or concern despite her usual self-control. 72 148

• Clear eyes and delicate brows. 72
• Often maintains a calm expression even while facing capture or danger. 73 148
• The Vermilion Bird half of the Myriad Phoenix Atlas is tattooed across her back. 73

Personality

Su Tianyu is restrained, proud, and highly protective of her responsibilities. She regards preservation of the Myriad Phoenix Atlas as more important than her own life, openly admitting that she was willing to endanger Jiang Shuo if it meant keeping the atlas from Beast Taming Villa. 73

She remains practical under pressure: she attempts negotiation before fighting, notices strategic patterns in an enemy's behavior, and can make difficult tactical decisions despite exhaustion or injury. 71 185 Her composure is not absolute; she is shaken by memories of a previous attack and becomes visibly fearful when the same threat seems to return. 75 177

Although she has feelings for Jiang Shuo, she prioritizes the safety of her subordinates and treats Yu Yuhan as a fair rival rather than exploiting Yu Yuhan's concealed identity. 153 186

Abilities & Skills

Martial Arts

Su Tianyu is a capable close-range martial artist whose palm strikes can overwhelm ordinary gang disciples and force back stronger opponents.

• Broke free from Shi Yuhu's restraint by striking his chin, then launched a planned counterattack. 74
• Defeated multiple Fierce Tiger Gang disciples in rapid succession and overpowered their leader, Wang Quan, in direct exchanges. 154
• Can cooperate effectively with Granny Gui to block a superior enemy's escape route. 187
• Her superior strength did not secure victory against Wang Quan because his sexually invasive tactics exploited her inexperience and conservative upbringing. 154

Tactical Judgment

Su Tianyu consistently assesses threats and adapts her approach.

• Offered the Myriad Phoenix Atlas in negotiation as an attempted means of escaping Shi Yuhu. 71
• Cut the grappling rope behind her group to prevent Shi Yuhu from pursuing them. 71
• Recognized that the Man in Black was seeking to exhaust Zhou Datong rather than immediately kill the group, convincing him to stop wasting strength. 185
• Identified that the Men in Black were likely puppets and spotted a suspected mastermind after their nature was exposed. 183

Coordination with Ling'er

Su Tianyu commands an eagle named Ling'er, using whistles and coordinated attacks to create openings against stronger enemies.

• Ling'er delayed Shi Yuhu during the first escape from Beast Taming Villa. 71
• Su Tianyu used a feigned frontal attack to position Ling'er for a surprise strike from behind Shi Yuhu. 74
• Summoned Ling'er while bound and fleeing, forcing Shi Yuhu to retreat long enough for her to reach Jiang Shuo's group. 152
• Ling'er has been injured in combat by Shi Yuhu but continues assisting Su Tianyu. 74

Equipment / Items

• Myriad Phoenix Atlas tattoo — One half of the complete atlas is tattooed on Su Tianyu's back; the other half is held by her father. 73
• Ling'er — Her eagle companion, used for scouting, harassment, and rescue diversions. 74 152
• Whistle — Used to summon Ling'er during her escape from Shi Yuhu. 152

Relationships

• Jiang Shuo — Ally and mutual protector. Su Tianyu entrusts him with the Myriad Phoenix Atlas, enters Shi Yuhu's trap to save him, and later supports him while he is injured. 73 148 159
• Granny Gui — Longtime caretaker and fiercely loyal protector; Su Tianyu considers their bond far deeper than that of a mistress and nanny. 74
• Ling'er — Eagle companion that repeatedly aids Su Tianyu's escapes and counterattacks. 74 152
• Shi Yuhu — Persistent enemy from Beast Taming Villa who seeks the Myriad Phoenix Atlas, poisons Su Tianyu, and repeatedly captures or pursues her. 71 104 162
• Yu Yuhan — A romantic rival for Jiang Shuo, though Su Tianyu respects her choices and deliberately reveals Yu Yuhan's identity only to prevent Jiang Shuo from living with regret. 149 186
• Mo Chen — Benefactor whose request brings the Iron Cloud Gang to rescue Su Tianyu and Jiang Shuo. 159

Trivia

• Su Tianyu was uncomfortable waking up beside Jiang Shuo because, as the well-read young lady of the Vermilion Bird Workshop, she was not accustomed to such proximity with a man. 72
• She suspects that a hidden force has been protecting Jiang Shuo, citing his repeated escapes from danger; this suspicion leads her to consider a connection to Mo Chen. 158
• Gu Han describes her as “gentle on the inside and strong on the outside.” 128
