Background / History

Patrol of Blue Star

A Zhui routinely visited Blue Star at century-long intervals to observe its civilization and guard against demonic threats. While preparing to leave the planet, she was struck by the light carrying Ye Chen and knocked unconscious when her weapon failed to stop it. 1

Ye Chen found her in a crater, carried her to a cave, and took her Sword of Flames into his portable storage. While she was unconscious, he slept beside her and kissed her. After waking, A Zhui used Dark Data to reconstruct the events, confronted him with a Sword of Flames, and ultimately left rather than kill him. Her angelic sense of justice prevented her from casually executing a mortal. 2 12

Return to the Yanhuang Empire

A century later, A Zhui returned expecting Ye Chen to have died of old age. Her Dark Data scan instead revealed that he remained alive and had founded the Yanhuang Empire. Curious, she entered Xuanhuang City, assessed its orderly civilian life favorably, and flew into Qiankun Hall after the Imperial Capital Defense Army attempted to arrest her for lacking a Travel Permit. 3

She questioned how Ye Chen had exceeded a mortal lifespan without known gene technology. Ye Chen's longevity and the scale of his empire made him increasingly significant to her, though she initially insisted that only a sufficiently strong, long-lived partner could possibly earn an angel's affection. 4 12

Courtship and Guardian Oath

On her next return, Angel Yan and Angel Mo Yi discovered A Zhui watching Ye Chen from above the imperial palace. Their teasing exposed her growing feelings, which had developed from curiosity into attachment over repeated century-separated encounters. 12

When Ye Chen offered to marry her through the Heavenly Marriage Rite, the vow's demand for lifelong mutual fidelity deeply affected A Zhui. Angel Yan approved of the rite's similarity to an Angel's Guardian Oath, while leaving the decision to A Zhui herself. 13

A Zhui and Ye Chen subsequently became closer during a private conversation in Qiankun Hall. She later made a Guardian Angel Oath to him, binding herself as his Guardian Angel. 14 21

Conflict Over the Righteous Order

A Zhui worried that Yanhuang's rapid development and Ye Chen's ambitions would eventually place the empire in conflict with the Angel Civilization's Righteous Order, which protects weaker civilizations from stronger powers. Ye Chen promised her that he would abide by the Order, easing her immediate concerns. 19 20

During Yanhuang's unification war, A Zhui could not directly intervene in conflicts between mortal states without violating the Righteous Order. Her permitted support was limited to suppressing outside threats such as the Denuo remnants and Su Mali; she later trusted Ye Chen's decision to let his forces be hardened by the European campaign. 17 36

Guarding Ye Chen

After taking the Guardian Angel Oath, A Zhui established herself in the Red Crow Star System and guarded Ye Chen from space, telling him to contact her whenever necessary. 21

She and Angel Yan later used Heavenly Blade Judgment to channel stellar energy during Ye Chen's Human King Body breakthrough. Although her contribution was small compared with the energy being drawn, she immediately rushed to check on him once the Stellar Torrent ended. 30

Appearance

A Zhui is an armored angel with a striking, disciplined appearance that contrasts with her frequent embarrassment around Ye Chen. Her clothing makes her stand out among Blue Star's civilians. 1 3

• White angel wings. 1
• Iconic slicked-back hairstyle. 1
• Armored short-skirt / mini-skirt battle attire. 1 3
• White pupils while activating Dark Data scanning. 1 2
• Usually carries or summons a Sword of Flames. 2

Personality

A Zhui is principled, duty-conscious, and shaped by thousands of years as a Battle Angel. Her first instinct after waking on Blue Star was anger at Ye Chen's actions, yet she chose restraint because her education in angelic justice would not permit her to kill a mortal rashly. 2 12

She values lasting devotion because angels seek a single lifelong partner and must endure immense spans of time. This makes Ye Chen's apparent longevity and the Heavenly Marriage vow especially meaningful to her. 4 13

Around Ye Chen, A Zhui becomes visibly flustered and emotionally conflicted. She recognizes that his promises can sway her judgment, yet chooses to believe in him and remains willing to guard him from space. 20 21

• Yuan Lan — Ye Chen's loyal secretary-general. A Zhui disarmed her after Yuan Lan mistook Ye Chen's injuries for an attack, then gave her a gene-strengthening potion. 20
