Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing is the second young lady of the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire and the fiancée of the empire’s Third Prince, Dai Mubai. Bound to a predetermined political marriage and survival struggle, she leaves for Suotuo City to find him, believing it to be her only chance to alter her circumstances. 39

While taking a shortcut through the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhu Zhuqing is pursued and badly wounded by a pack of Nether Wolves. Bai Mu and Zygarde intervene, killing the wolves before they can finish her off. Despite her injuries, she initially prepares to fight Bai Mu, remaining suspicious of the stranger who saved her. 38

Bai Mu heals both her shoulder wound and depleted Soul Power with Jungle Healing. After learning his identity, strength, and level, Zhu Zhuqing reveals her destination and engagement. She rejects Bai Mu’s attempts to claim her as his, then continues alone toward Suotuo City. 39

Bai Mu reaches Suotuo City ahead of her and provides a room at the Rose Hotel, as well as a written Meditation Technique. Zhu Zhuqing recognizes the technique as an unusually complete and valuable cultivation manual, studies it intensely, and later discusses her questions with Bai Mu. 40 41

Her lodging beside Dai Mubai’s room exposes her to his nightly excesses, leaving her exhausted and disillusioned. After seeing him leave with signs of another wild night and call her “sister-in-law,” she resolves that, whatever happens, she must become far stronger. 44

At Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai recognizes her Hell Spirit Cat as the martial soul compatible with his White Tiger. Zhu Zhuqing’s resentment toward him deepens, while Bai Mu’s overwhelming victory over Dai Mubai convinces her that following Bai Mu may offer a way to change the fate imposed on her. 46 51 55

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a black-haired girl with amber, cat-like eyes and a reserved expression. During Martial Soul Possession, she develops traits associated with the Hell Spirit Cat. 38 46

• Often wears black leather or black casual clothing. 38 41
• Possesses furry black cat ears and a nimble cat tail while using her Martial Soul. 38
• Her hands manifest black fur and sharp claws during Martial Soul Possession. 46
• She was first seen with a deep, bone-exposed claw wound across her left shoulder after fighting Nether Wolves. 38

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is cold, vigilant, and difficult to approach. Even after Bai Mu saves her, she maintains a defensive stance and scrutinizes his intentions rather than lowering her guard immediately. 38 39

She is stubbornly resilient. Faced with the pressure of her engagement, Dai Mubai’s behavior, and uncertainty about her future, she does not abandon her goal of survival; instead, she focuses on becoming strong enough to resist her circumstances. 39 44

Although usually restrained, Zhu Zhuqing can be provoked into open anger—particularly by Bai Mu’s teasing or Dai Mubai’s conduct. She remains capable of gratitude, sincerely thanking Bai Mu for the Meditation Technique and accepting his explanations during their cultivation discussion. 41 48

Hell Spirit Cat

Zhu Zhuqing’s Martial Soul is the Hell Spirit Cat, classifying her as an agility-attack Spirit Master. Its possession grants her feline physical traits and close-range claw attacks. 38 39 46

• Rose Hotel room key (“Green Farewell”) — Given to her by Bai Mu upon arriving in Suotuo City. 40

Relationships

• Bai Mu — Rescuer, benefactor, and self-proclaimed “master.” He heals her, gives her a Meditation Technique, and repeatedly teases her as a “little kitten.” Zhu Zhuqing distrusts and resents his behavior but gradually considers that following him could help her change her fate. 39 40 55 56
• Dai Mubai — Her fiancé and the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire. Their Martial Souls can form Hell White Tiger, but Zhu Zhuqing becomes increasingly disappointed and resentful after witnessing his hedonistic behavior. 39 44 46 51
• Zygarde — Bai Mu’s External Martial Soul. Zygarde saves Zhu Zhuqing from the Nether Wolves and intimidates her during their first encounter; she recognizes its overwhelming strength. 38 39
• Tang San — Fellow Shrek applicant. He later cites Zhu Zhuqing’s firsthand knowledge of Bai Mu’s abilities during the assessment. 45 50
• Xiao Wu — Fellow Shrek applicant. Zhu Zhuqing joins her and Tang San in showing disdain toward Dai Mubai during his argument with Bai Mu. 45 47
