Background / History
Luo Fuyu was identified as the Ghost Bride who collaborated with her dowry maid Ku Lan in harvesting Zheng Que's Yang essence. Zheng Que considered her the mastermind behind the scheme, but granted her an Imperial Conferment and a chance to redeem herself through service. 146 150
During a ghost wedding, Luo Fuyu offered Zheng Que the high-grade Yin-Yang Joyous Union Secret Record, a method for harvesting Yin to nourish Yang. Zheng Que proposed marriage in exchange for helping secure her missing dowry, and she accepted, leaving the technique for him. 150 151
Her dowry became a central fixation. She claimed resources left behind by Shu Family Fort as bridal property, angrily searched for missing carts and chests, and repeatedly attempted to recruit Zheng Que's Ghost Servants as dowry maids. 158 170 239
Appearance
Luo Fuyu usually appears as an elegant but unsettling bride, combining lavish ceremonial dress with an oppressive Yin aura. Her appearance became more ornate following her Iron Tree Hell breakthrough. 150 306
- Phoenix crown and crimson embroidered bridal robes. 161 306
- Bright-red bridal veil, often embroidered with golden tassels and mandarin ducks playing in water. 226 335
- Pale hands and snow-white wrists adorned with jade bangles. 170
- Her refined wedding gown develops golden and red-gold patterns after entering Iron Tree Hell. 306
- Can present herself as a purple-robed female cultivator when operating outside her bridal appearance. 154
Personality
Luo Fuyu is calculating, resource-conscious, and highly possessive of her dowry. She treats servants, artifacts, and captured resources as parts of a growing bridal retinue, and her first instinct during expeditions is often to seize anything valuable. 150 216 227
She is ruthless toward enemies and subordinates who obstruct her, but pragmatic rather than blindly hostile. She interrogates targets through soul-searching, orders large-scale looting, and reacts violently when her dowry is lost. 154 170 227
Despite her possessiveness and frequent attempts to poach Zheng Que's servants, she repeatedly acts to protect him. She searches for him in dangerous Anomalies, intervenes against threats, warns him about lethal illusion taboos, and later serves him reliably as a Soul-Hooking Envoy. 226 285 297 306 335
Abilities & Skills
Ten-Mile Red Baleful Intent
Luo Fuyu's species talent manifests as vivid, festive red mist rather than ordinary blood mist. It is associated with the Ghost Wedding Procession's fragmented “Law.” 344
- Her retinue's ghosts carry fragments of this Law and possess the ghost skill Steal Red Luan. 346
- The Law fragments caused the procession's ghosts to remain asleep after entering Tongue-Pulling Hell. 346
Ghost Skills and Yin Arts
She possesses an unusually broad range of ghostly techniques. Zheng Que can identify her ghost skills and Yin arts, though her cultivator-side methods remain obscured to him. 344 345
- Ghost Skills: Underworld Wedding Invitation, Evil Matchmaker Curse, Thousand-Needle Soul Embroidery, Wedding Candles Weep Together, Three Bows Bind the Soul, and Double Happiness Rain. 344
- Yin Arts: Yin Consumption, Evil Strength, Red Attire, Blood Sacrifice, Thread Binding, Bride's Lament, and Garment Cutting. 344
- She taught Ku Lan Yin arts, including methods used to harvest Yang and nourish Yin. 150
Blood Mist and Frontal Force
Luo Fuyu can deploy dense blood mist to disrupt enemies, block ghostly attacks, and interfere with healing. 272 337
- Her blood mist dispelled an illusion around Myriad Goodness Abbey, revealing that she had been fighting outside the Anomaly. 272
- Against a ghost parasitized by the Nine Nether Relic, she used overwhelming palm force and a blood-red “Sea of Blood” to repeatedly destroy its physical shell. 338 340
- She recognized that ghost techniques, Yin arts, and spells were ineffective against the relic due to its connection to Underworld power, forcing her to rely on direct cultivation-based combat. 340
Cultivator Methods
Unlike ordinary ghosts, Luo Fuyu possesses cultivation methods, spells, and divine abilities in addition to ghost techniques. 345
- She used the Yin Illumination Canon, the signature cultivation art of Nether Shepherd Palace, in battle. 318
- Her knowledge of cultivator techniques and restrictions allows her to advise Zheng Que on artifacts and cultivation matters. 350 405
Soul-Hooking Envoy Authorities
As a Soul-Hooking Envoy, Luo Fuyu holds five documented Underworld authorities. 344 345
- Soul Sight — perceives other ghosts' cultivation and methods. 345
- Nether Ban — forbids one method possessed by another ghost. 345
- Yin Return — sends the Yin Energy and souls of slain ghosts or living beings into the Underworld. 345
- Soul Seizing — captures a target's soul and brings it into the Underworld; effective against both ghosts and living people. 345
- Dream Binding — binds dreams containing resentment, hatred, and fear into the Underworld, weakening those emotions in the dreamer. 345
- Authorities effective on ghosts above Scissor Hell fail if the target's cultivation exceeds her own. 345
Soul Seizing
Luo Fuyu used Soul Seizing decisively against the Nine Nether Relic.
- She ordered Mu Xiangu not to evade the relic, allowing it to enter Mu Xiangu's brow. 341
- She manifested chains and a towering gate, dragged Mu Xiangu and the relic inside, then sealed the gate before the relic could escape. 341
- The operation separated the relic from its parasitized host and allowed the remaining ghost creature to be destroyed. 341
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Ghost Wedding Procession — includes an ornate red sedan chair, musicians, attendants, and eight Scissor Hell sedan-bearer ghosts. 158 393
- Phoenix crown and crimson wedding gown — her signature attire; the gown can emit blood mist and is tied to Ku Lan's attempts to “borrow” it. 260 306
- Envoy Command Token — bears the character “Envoy” after her promotion to Soul-Hooking Envoy. 335
- Dowry chests, trunks, and lacquer trays — many are protected by powerful seals and cannot be opened or borrowed by Zheng Que. 157
- Demon-Suppressing Bronze Bell — in her possession; she refuses to lend it to Zheng Que for the Immortal Examination. 405
Relationships
- Zheng Que — her husband by agreement and her Underworld lord. Their relationship began as a transaction over her dowry technique, but she later protects him, carries out his orders, and receives promotions from him. 151 245 306 335
- Ku Lan — her dowry maid. Luo Fuyu taught Ku Lan Yin arts, but frequently complains about her disobedience and attempts to borrow the bridal gown. 150 260
- Mu Xiangu — initially an enemy known as Painted Skin, whom Luo Fuyu tried to recruit into her bridal retinue. They later cooperate against the Nine Nether Relic. 226 341
- Qing Li — Zheng Que's Ghost Servant whom Luo Fuyu repeatedly tries to recruit as a dowry maid. 157
- Nian Nu — another Ghost Servant Luo Fuyu seeks to recruit, offering Yin arts and artifacts. 165
- Shu Yunying — a Ghost Servant Luo Fuyu attempts to persuade away from Zheng Que. 157

Dowry Hunt
