Background

Zhu Zhuqing was pursued and repeatedly targeted by her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun. Their conflict was tied to a struggle for survival: Zhuqing trained desperately in hopes of defeating Zhu Zhuyun by age twenty-four, but believed the five-to-six-year cultivation gap between them was nearly impossible to overcome. 23

She initially regarded her nominal fiancé, Dai Mubai, as her remaining hope. After learning that he had fled and was indulging himself rather than cultivating, she considered him to have abandoned her in a life-threatening situation. 23 35

In the Dark Forest, Zhu Zhuyun ambushed her with archers and attempted to force her return. Zhuqing refused, believing that returning would mean imprisonment and eventual murder. 20 Lan Si intervened, rescued her, treated her injuries, and gave her a safe place to recover. 22

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a striking young woman with a cold, beautiful expression, dark eyes, fair skin, and a curvaceous but athletic figure. She is taller than Ning Rongrong and has slender, proportioned limbs. 22 45 99

• Usually carries herself with a reserved, graceful bearing.
• Her black robe accentuates her figure and gives her a mysterious appearance. 22
• Her Hell Spirit Cat possession produces sharp, thorn-like cat claws and a faint purple glow. 35 193

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is initially guarded, cold, and intensely self-reliant. Years of assassination attempts and the pressure of her family’s conflict left her focused on survival and personal strength. 23

She is direct when confronting behavior she considers unjust or hypocritical. She questioned Yu Xiaogang's credentials before the academy and later rebuked Xiao Wu for treating the Soul Fight arena as a place for personal grudges. 46 74

Despite her distant exterior, Zhuqing is loyal and protective toward those she trusts. She chose Lan Si openly despite the consequences of ending her connection to Dai Mubai, remained concerned for Lan Si in dangerous situations, and intervened immediately when Huo Wu tried to attack him. 57 63 177
