Background

Zhu Zhuqing was born into the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire. Under her family's internal succession struggle, she was paired with Dai Mubai against her elder sister Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi; the losing pair faced imprisonment or erasure. Having begun later than Zhu Zhuyun and suffered ostracism from her clan, Zhu Zhuqing fled alone to the Heaven Dou Empire in search of a way to survive and grow stronger. 91 95 126

She initially sought out Dai Mubai at Shrek Academy in the hope that they could oppose their families together. His conduct, however, left her disillusioned; she came to view their relationship as empty and chose to break away from him. 10 27

Their friendship became Zhu Zhuqing's first close bond and introduced her to the Quest Card Shop. 7 10 11
