Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing entered Shrek Academy as the second miss of the Star Luo Empire's Zhu Family. At the time, her God of Speed memories were locked, though her recorded true age was over twenty thousand years. She possessed level 28 soul power and the Hell Spirit Cat martial soul. Fu Qin's display as a level 34 Soul Elder visibly shook her normally cold composure 15.

She was engaged to Dai Mubai, but his conduct left her increasingly disgusted. When Dai forcibly seized her wrist at Shrek, Fu Qin intervened and drove him back with the Vajra Through-Arm Fist. Zhuqing was left frightened but grateful, beginning to see Fu Qin as a source of security 31. She later rejected Dai's pleas to train their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, condemning him for treating her as a means to secure the Star Luo throne 53.

With encouragement from Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, Zhuqing acknowledged her feelings for Fu Qin. After spending a night with him, she recovered her locked past-life memories. She remembered being possessed by a soul-devouring entity and recalled Dai Mubai neglecting her while she faced catastrophe; these memories hardened her hatred of him 73 84.

During an ambush by the Soul Saints Dai Wei and Mo Wu, Dai Mubai shoved Zhuqing into danger to save himself. Fu Qin intervened, shielding her with his Demon Spider Flying Swords and escaping with her despite the overwhelming gap in strength. Zhuqing renounced Dai Mubai completely and resolved to make him pay for his betrayal 156 158.

After the tournament, Zhuqing chose to follow Fu Qin rather than return to the Star Luo Empire. She became a founding member of his Divine Mechanism Pavilion, seeking autonomy, strength, and a life outside the empire's succession struggle 180.

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a tall, lithe young woman with an athletic yet refined build. She usually wears fitted black or purple clothing suited to rapid movement, reinforcing her restrained and intimidating presence.

• Pale, cold-toned complexion.
• Ink-black hair, often worn loose or simply arranged.
• Sharp purple eyes described as cold and frost-like.
• Tight-fitting black or purple combat attire.
• Her movements are light and feline, matching the Hell Spirit Cat martial soul.
• Her cold demeanor softens noticeably around Fu Qin 26 180.

Personality

Zhuqing is reserved, vigilant, and intensely disciplined. Even after entering a relationship with Fu Qin, she insists that desire must not interfere with cultivation 126. She is difficult to approach, but her apparent aloofness conceals loneliness, strong emotions, and a desire to control her own fate.

Dai Mubai's neglect and later betrayal transform her distrust into open disgust and murderous resolve. Rather than remain tied to the Star Luo Empire's political struggles, she chooses self-determination through the Divine Mechanism Pavilion 158 180.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy

Zhuqing arrives at Shrek with locked memories and initially maintains a cold distance from the other students. Fu Qin's strength, protection, and gifts gradually earn her trust, while Dai Mubai's behavior drives her further away from her fiancé 15 31 46 53.

Recovery of Past-Life Memories

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong arrange for Zhuqing and Fu Qin to spend time alone. Zhuqing confesses her insecurity and attraction to him, then recovers memories of her past life and the pain associated with Dai Mubai's neglect 73 83 85.

Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament

Zhuqing fights as one of Shrek's primary agility attackers. She uses her speed and clones to pressure stronger opponents, joins the battle against the Elephant Armor Sect, and duels her sister Zhu Zhuyun in the Star Luo Royal Academy match 132 133 167.

Star Luo Assassination Attempt

Dai Wei and Mo Wu target Zhuqing and Dai Mubai to eliminate their potential to use the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Dai Mubai betrays Zhuqing during the attack, while Fu Qin shields her and escapes with her. This incident ends Zhuqing's remaining attachment to Dai Mubai 155 158.

Divine Mechanism Pavilion

Zhuqing formally joins Fu Qin's planned Divine Mechanism Pavilion, citing her rejection of both the Star Luo Empire and life as another faction's pawn. Over the next two years, Fu Qin's resources and six soul bones help her rise from level 47 to level 73; she later reaches level 78 180 183 198.
