Background

Ji Ziling is a doctor at Yingji Clinic, whose name combines her surname with Ying Yanxue's. Though beautiful and skilled, she initially treats Jiang Changkong and Zhou Wen with deliberate distance. Her professionalism is evident when she uses green healing light to stabilize a severely bleeding patient. 3 4

Jiang Changkong discovers her relationship with Ying Yanxue after seeing their messages, but chooses not to pry. Ji Ziling later dismisses the matter as no secret. 4 9

After recognizing Jiang Changkong's loyalty in helping Zhou Wen, Ji Ziling becomes markedly warmer toward him. She gives him a temporary Martial Arts School student ID, later permits him to use it until enrollment, and supports his use of it to carry students through mock examinations for Star Stones. 7 10 14 15

During the Star Demon wilderness incident, she searches for Ying Yanxue alongside Jiang Changkong, kills the Star Demons blocking their route, and prioritizes reaching Yanxue once they locate her. 24 25 She later serves as one of the two vice presidents appointed to Jiang Changkong's Martial Arts Association. 276
