Background & History

Zhu Zhuqing is the younger sister of Zhu Zhuyun, the Star Luo Crown Princess. While fleeing through the Star Dou Great Forest with injuries, she encounters Li Hanche and Snake Lance Douluo. Zhu Zhuyun and five guards catch up to her, but Li Hanche intervenes; Snake Lance Douluo's pressure forces the pursuers to their knees, and Zhu Zhuyun ultimately withdraws. 66 67

Initially unaware of Li Hanche's true identity, Zhu Zhuqing knows him as “Xue Qingren.” She accepts his assistance after he arranges treatment for her injuries and gives her a room at the Rose Hotel while he keeps watch from its roof. The two travel together to Suotuo City. 67 68

In Suotuo City, she reunites with her nominal fiancé, Dai Mubai. His public accusations and his conduct at the Rose Hotel further damage her view of him. She later chooses to remain with Li Hanche rather than leave with Dai Mubai. 69 70 120

Li Hanche later gives her the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, an immortal herb selected to improve her body, speed, and physique. Its medicinal effects cleanse her body and marrow, while her subsequent training under Sword Douluo Chen Xin helps her reach level 42. 130 131 164 178

After Li Hanche departs for Sea God Island, Zhu Zhuqing trains intensely alongside Ning Rongrong and the other girls under Chen Xin's personal instruction. She reunites with Li Hanche upon his return and later travels to Sea God Island, where she receives a black-level five trial and undergoes Tidal Body Refining. 157 188 229 258

During the fall of the Star Luo Empire, the Zhu Family is deliberately spared because of Zhu Zhuqing's connection to Li Hanche. 273

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a cold and beautiful young woman whose facial features strongly resemble those of her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun. 66

• Frequently wears a black leather outfit during travel and combat. 66
• Has cold brows and eyes, tightly pressed lips, and an outwardly restrained demeanor. 66
• Later wears a black dress and high heels, giving her a more mature appearance while retaining her reserved bearing. 201

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing remains calm and practical even when endangered. After Li Hanche saves her, she does not react with dramatic gratitude; instead, she directly asks why an unknown person would help her. 67

Years of being pursued have made her guarded. She holds back questions about Li Hanche's identity, strength, and connection to Zhu Zhuyun because she understands that pressing someone for answers they do not wish to give is futile. 68

She is decisive when it matters. Although uncertain of her place in Li Hanche's life, she knows she does not wish to leave with Dai Mubai and acts on that choice. 120 Her confidence gradually grows after receiving Li Hanche's support and training alongside the other girls. 131 164

Zhu Zhuqing is initially inexperienced and conflicted regarding intimacy, but she ultimately chooses to trust Li Hanche. Her relationship with him and Ning Rongrong gradually makes her more open and comfortable expressing herself. 196 201

She is also resolute in cultivation. Despite the harshness of the Sea God's Light and the later Tidal Body Refining trial, she persists alongside her companions without complaint. 229 258
