Background / History

Leng Yaozhu is a high-ranking Spirit Pagoda authority and the teacher of Gu Yue. Their teacher–student arrangement initially rests more on mutual benefit than personal closeness: Gu Yue requires a legal human identity, while Leng Yaozhu gains an exceptionally talented disciple who strengthens her standing within the organization. 31

Before meeting Lin An, Leng Yaozhu spent decades unable to move on from her unrequited love for Yun Ming. Though she once rejected numerous admirers, she remained devoted to Yun Ming even after he chose Ya Li, preserving a Phoenix Plume that she had intended to give him. 71

During Shadow Brake's citywide mental scan, Leng Yaozhu recognizes that the Spirit Pagoda has been precisely targeted. She fears that the slightest irregularity could invite a god-slaying fixed soul ammunition strike from Universal Heavy Industry. 30

She later invites Lin An to the Spirit Pagoda over its rare space-time-type soul beast resources. Their professional contact develops after Lin An applies to become her secretary, ostensibly to study and work with Spirit Pagoda technology. 31 67 68

Appearance

Leng Yaozhu is consistently portrayed as a dignified, strikingly beautiful woman with an elegant and aloof bearing. Her appearance becomes noticeably less composed when her emotions concerning Lin An overwhelm her. 46 49 101

• Reddish-brown hair, commonly arranged in an elegant bun or left cascading over her shoulders. 30 48 66
• Clear, shallow phoenix-like eyes; her gaze can become cold and oppressive when angered. 30 70
• Often wears a moon-white qipao decorated with red feather patterns. 30 31
• Also appears in a black uniform, a crimson feather-patterned dress, and a loose silk robe. 46 48 66
• Maintains a composed, refined posture even in formal settings. 48 66

Personality

Leng Yaozhu is proud, controlled, and accustomed to the authority expected of the Spirit Pagoda's Heavenly Phoenix Douluo. She can be measured and professional while discussing research, soul spirits, and organizational matters, but reacts sharply when Yun Ming or her long-standing emotional wounds are invoked. 68 70

Her feelings for Lin An expose a far less stable side. She repeatedly misreads his professional interest as romantic pursuit, struggles with insecurity over their age gap, and becomes distressed when he stops visiting or replying to her messages. 67 71 101

Despite her possessiveness and occasional manipulation, she remains protective of Gu Yue and willing to invest major effort into Gu Yue's future. She supports the forging of Gu Yue's Battle Armor and uses her resources to settle Gu Yue's fines, even while competing with her disciple for Lin An's attention. 105 112

Relationships

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shadow Brake's Scan and the Spirit Pagoda Invitation

Leng Yaozhu is introduced reacting to Shadow Brake's mental scan of East Sea City, recognizing the threat it poses to the Spirit Pagoda. She subsequently contacts Lin An regarding a rare space-time-type soul beast held by the organization. 30 31

Gu Yue's Mentor

She counsels Gu Yue on the dangers of her possessive pursuit of Lin An, warning that Lin An attracts attention from both women and men because of his appearance, fortune, and the Universal Group's influence. 46

When Gu Yue continues clinging to Lin An during the Spirit Pagoda visit, Leng Yaozhu is visibly frustrated by her disciple's lack of restraint. 48 49

Secretary Arrangement

After Lin An applies for an internship, Leng Yaozhu mistakenly assumes he is proposing marriage. She ultimately hires him as her secretary after he demonstrates genuine technical insight into artificial soul spirit and formation technology. 67 68

Lin An's frequent visits gradually weaken her professional distance, but his mention of Yun Ming causes her to turn cold and drive him away. 70

Communication Breakdown

When Lin An disappears for weeks, Leng Yaozhu becomes increasingly distressed and interprets his silence as abandonment. Unknown to her, Shadow Brake has intercepted and blacklisted her messages to him. 101

When Lin An returns, the misunderstanding culminates in an emotional confrontation. Leng Yaozhu accepts his explanation that he never received her messages and resumes working with him. 102 103

Battle Armor Collaboration and Public Controversy

Leng Yaozhu agrees to Heaven Forge the materials for Gu Yue's Battle Armor after Lin An presents Gu Yue's god-level scale. She is unsettled by Gu Yue's likely nonhuman identity but ultimately accepts Lin An's desire to help both humans and Soul Beasts coexist. 105

She later posts a deliberately misleading image implying intimacy with Lin An, triggering backlash from the public, Qian Gu Dongfeng, and Shen Qingyi. 107 110

Conflict with Gu Yue

Gu Yue confronts Leng Yaozhu over Lin An, while Leng Yaozhu insists that her work on the Battle Armor and support for Gu Yue were acts of care. She also uses payments and gifts to influence Gu Yue's access to Lin An. 112 113

Their rivalry becomes physical when Gu Yue discovers Leng Yaozhu's scent on Lin An after he has spent extended time with her during the forging work. 128 129

Trivia

• Leng Yaozhu initially gives Lin An the Phoenix Plume as a protective item, though it later also functions as a tracker and camera. 68 106
• She responds to the Spirit Pagoda's space-time incident not only as a security concern, but as an investment opportunity involving Universal Heavy Industry. 52
• Lin An's talent-progress system identifies her emotional comfort and lowered guard—not physical proximity—as the key to advancing the Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart condition. 128
