Background / History

Sun Yourong is the eldest daughter of Jiangdu City's Sun family, one of the city's Four Great Families. She first meets Lu Chen when the Sun family visits the Longevity Star Hall to seek an extension of her grandfather's life. 15

Her principal deity is the Giant Spirit God. A fortune-teller determined at her birth that she and the deity possessed a fated affinity, shaping both her choice of worship and her martial style. 34

Her affinity with the Giant Spirit God originates in a previous life: she was a demon-subduing female general of the Heavenly Court's Military Department. Mortally wounded during a demon-slaying mission, she lost her divine rank and entered reincarnation; the Giant Spirit God had regarded her former self as a sworn younger sister. 266

She becomes one of Lu Chen's earliest and most consistent allies, assisting his King Yama worship project, accompanying him on missions, and defending him in battle. She keeps his connection to King Yama confidential even after learning that he holds an underworld position. 25 73 76

After Zhao Wanliang attempts to force a marriage bond through the Matchmaker God, Sun Yourong asks Lu Chen for help. The resulting Love Fate Tribulation becomes a central concern for both of them until she later confirms it has been resolved. 164 270 316

When Lu Chen is believed dead following the Rongcheng incident, she collapses from grief and later falls into severe depression, blaming herself for bringing him there. His return brings her and the Sun family overwhelming relief. 206 247

During Lu Chen's founding of a Dharma lineage, Sun Yourong displays extraordinary aptitude by visualizing a supreme-grade heavenly metal spiritual root. She refuses to become Lu Chen's disciple, but accepts becoming his junior sister instead and receives Register Ordination as a first-generation disciple of the Dharma-Origin Patriarch. 407 408 409 411

Appearance

Personality

Sun Yourong is composed, perceptive, and practical. She understands the hierarchy between great clans, prestigious families, and the Heavenly Court, and she readily points out flaws in Lu Chen's plans when she believes he is underestimating a danger. 44 45

Despite her normally calm demeanor, she can be blunt and hot-blooded when provoked. During her fight with the red-spotted woman, she answers an insult with a direct counterattack rather than retreating. 71
