Background / History
First Simulated Life
Yulai meets Qiangu Mingyue at their martial soul awakening ceremony when both are six. After learning that her June birthday precedes his November birthday, she insists that he call her “Sister Yulai” and enthusiastically hugs him. Her own awakening produces the Dark Phoenix, whose potentially suspicious nature is counterbalanced by Qiangu Dieting’s public endorsement 3 4.
When Mingyue’s low innate soul power causes his family to neglect him, Yulai and Yaozhu remain supportive and provide materials for his research. Yulai also visits his laboratory with meals, feeds him when he becomes distracted, and defends him against Qiangu Qingfeng’s contempt 4 5.
After Mingyue becomes Spirit Pagoda Master, the sisters devote more time to cultivation because they fear falling behind him. Yulai explains their concerns to him; shortly afterward, he begins developing War God Armor 9.
At her coming-of-age ceremony, Mingyue gives Yulai the Super S-grade Finality armor and gives Yaozhu Origin. Yun Ming interrupts the celebration to challenge the technology, but Yaozhu defeats him. Later that evening, Yulai asks Mingyue to eat properly and protect his health, while Yaozhu asks him to remain with them forever 10 11 12.
Yulai eventually becomes a Great Spirit Envoy and Super Douluo. By the planning of the Spirit Pagoda’s second major campaign, she and Yaozhu are the only senior figures whom Mingyue has not reduced to puppets; he invites both sisters to contribute to his plans 14 20 22.
When Mingyue returns mortally weakened after attacking the Douluo God Realm, Yulai weeps beside him but also urges the distraught Yaozhu to consider his condition before moving him. His final regrets include never giving the sisters a wedding. Later recollections identify both sisters as having died after him 37 48 56.
Reality and Recovered Memories
In reality, Yulai’s former crush on Yun Ming and resentment toward Yaozhu lead her to leave home and join the Holy Spirit Cult. She rises to become one of its Four Dark Heavenly Kings, committing killings and other atrocities along the way 39 40 48.
While stationed at a cult stronghold, she experiences the simulated life as an intensely vivid dream. The appearance of her Finality bracelet—and a call from Yaozhu through the corresponding Origin bracelet—convinces the sisters that their shared life was real. Yulai confesses her cult involvement and fears that Mingyue will reject her 39.
The sisters locate Su Mingyue through Spirit Pagoda awakening footage. Yulai travels to the reporting branch using Finality, retrieves his records with an identity token supplied by Yaozhu, and reaches his home first. She confronts him over his broken promise and makes her romantic feelings explicit 44 46 47.
After she admits the extent of her crimes, Mingyue tells her that he still accepts and supports her. Yaozhu instructs Yulai neither to return to the cult nor to announce her withdrawal yet, instead arranging for her to stay with Mingyue as his guardian. Mingyue agrees to keep her company and address her martial soul’s problems 48 50.
Yulai subsequently brings Mingyue and Na’er to Spirit Pagoda headquarters. Later, Yaozhu trusts her to act in her place using a disguise supported by Mingyue’s invention 52.

- Nails: Wears dark purple nail polish during her reunion with Su Mingyue 47.

Personality
Yulai is lively, affectionate, and openly expressive. As a child, she immediately claims the role of Mingyue’s older sister; as their bond deepens, she delights in feeding him, teasing him, and photographing his embarrassed reactions. Her playfulness accompanies practical concern for his meals and health 3 5 12.
She is fiercely protective of Mingyue and resents people who dismiss him for his apparent lack of talent. Despite her usual exuberance, she can recognize an emotional crisis and urge restraint, as shown when she tries to calm Yaozhu during Mingyue’s final moments 5 37.
After recovering her memories, Yulai becomes more possessive and determined to express feelings that went unfulfilled in the simulation. Her confidence nevertheless gives way to anxiety when discussing her Holy Spirit Cult crimes: she condemns her earlier choices and fears losing Mingyue’s affection 39 47 48.
