Background / History

Ten years before her reunion with Mo Shang, Jiang Shuyu was a frail beggar girl in Skywatch City. Mo Shang took her in for a year when others wanted her dead, but she was forced to leave after an unspecified incident. He searched for her afterward but could not find her. 9 27

After leaving Skywatch City, Jiang Shuyu wandered without a fixed residence, seeking opportunities and raising her cultivation. By the time she encountered Mo Shang and Gu Qingzhou over the Earth Spirit Liquid, she had become the reincarnation of a Female Emperor with two Purple-Gold Traits. 9

She immediately abandoned any interest in the Earth Spirit Liquid upon recognizing Mo Shang. At his invitation, she joined Falling Cloud Sect, where Sect Master Liu Zhengyang arranged exceptional resources and a residence beside Mo Shang's courtyard. 9 10 11

Appearance

Jiang Shuyu is a strikingly beautiful young woman with a fair complexion. Her usual presence is composed and cool, though she becomes visibly more expressive around Mo Shang. 9 26

• Initially appeared in black clothing and a black conical hat. 9
• Has long, silky hair that Mo Shang frequently ruffles. 17
• Her calm demeanor can give way to tears, blushes, or a gentle smile around Mo Shang. 25 53
• Wore an elegant black evening gown for Xiao Yan and Liu Ruyan's wedding-related gathering. 180

Personality

Jiang Shuyu is ordinarily reserved, calm, and sparing with words. She remained composed even while facing Gu Qingzhou in battle, receiving extraordinary treatment from Falling Cloud Sect, and confronting arrogant opponents. 9 11 30

Her gratitude toward Mo Shang is central to her character. She regards his past kindness as a life-saving grace and is deeply devoted to him, readily offering him what she has and placing his safety above all else. 11 24 27

Despite her former imperial identity and immense strength, she is willing to be vulnerable with Mo Shang. Over time, she becomes more playful, curious, and able to tease him, attributing this change to being with him. 27 48 217

Her attachment also has a dangerous edge. Believing Mo Shang dead, she was prepared to ignore right and wrong and annihilate all of Cangyun City in revenge. 24 25

Abilities & Skills

Yin-Yang Power and Reincarnation Techniques

Jiang Shuyu wields black-and-white Yin-Yang Power and techniques based on reincarnation.
