Background

Early Life and Career

Ji Yu attended Yunda Affiliated Primary School one year ahead of Gao Jing, though the two did not know each other at the time. They are the same age, with Ji Yu born one month earlier; this coincidence becomes the basis for her insistence that Gao Jing call her “Senior.” 87

She later attended university in Shanghai and worked in the legal department of a group corporation before resigning for undisclosed reasons. 87 170 Her maternal grandparents live in Lion City, where she regularly spends Lunar New Year with her mother’s family. 190

Meeting Gao Jing

Ji Yu meets Gao Jing after a one-night encounter. Rather than leaving quietly, he stays for breakfast; their conversation reveals their shared school history and develops into an offer for her to review a Shanghai business partnership. She accepts and accompanies him as a paid professional, establishing the boundary that their intimacy does not obligate her to work without compensation. 87

Their relationship becomes affectionate and long-running, but Ji Yu initially rejects dating, marriage, and having children, valuing personal freedom and independence. Gao Jing respects that she will not become dependent on him or act as a “golden canary.” 88 170 173

Business Partnership

Ji Yu becomes Gao Jing’s private representative at Bilibili, supervises his promotional campaign, and plays a key role in negotiations with Huanyu Digital, saving him several million. 92 She later manages two of his companies, handles procurement, and helps establish his personal charitable foundation. 166

As Gao Jing’s business interests expand, Ji Yu grows into the general-manager role. She manages high-value white-liquor procurement while navigating lobbying and corporate pressure with Qin Qing’s support. 296 She is also made Spirit Jade’s spokesperson, receiving a five-piece Spirit Jade jewelry set and taking responsibility for its promotion and marketing coordination. 307

Ji Yu eventually shifts much of her attention from Great World Trading Company to the Gao Jing Charity Foundation, where she assists Qin Qing in operating increasingly numerous student-support projects. 509

Later Developments

Gao Jing teaches Ji Yu the Great Wilderness Battle Record so she can protect herself. Her study unexpectedly becomes the first confirmed source of high-grade Faith Power generated through inheritance of Great World techniques. 254

After trouble during a charity-project inspection in Linjiang County, Gao Jing relies on Ji Yu’s martial training and protective talisman as safeguards, while recognizing that neither makes her invulnerable. 509 511

Gao Jing later brings Ji Yu to a spirit-rich hidden village in Lion Peak Mountain and tells her that he intends to build a mountain estate there for them to live in permanently. He then accompanies her home for Lunar New Year, openly meeting her family as her boyfriend. 611 612

Appearance

Ji Yu is portrayed as exceptionally attractive, refined, and composed, with shallow dimples that become prominent when she smiles. 87 173

• Can present a polished white-collar image, wearing a dress outfit, hair in a bun, non-prescription glasses, and carrying a briefcase. 87
• Has fluent English and remains calm before a camera; a cameraman at Crater of Diamonds State Park remarked that she could succeed in Hollywood. 138
• Often wears the heart-shaped “Pink Crown” pink-diamond necklace beneath her clothes when discretion is needed. 307

Personality

Ji Yu is independent, practical, and professionally minded. She accepts work from Gao Jing only when it is treated as legitimate paid employment, and she actively seeks to contribute rather than merely rely on his wealth. 87 121 Even in their intimate relationship, she values autonomy and maintains her own friendships, social life, and career. 170 173

She is warm and openly affectionate with people she trusts, especially Gao Jing, Qin Qing, Wang Xuan, and Nine Apertures. Her playful side appears in her teasing insistence on being called “Senior,” her enthusiasm for luxury and social-media posts, and her doting treatment of the spirit cat. 87 119 166

Despite her increasing confidence as a businesswoman, Ji Yu remains sensitive to differences in status and background. She feels momentarily inferior beside Su Yazhen’s aristocratic bearing, but continues to perform her responsibilities and grows determined to prove herself in the business world. 296 307

Abilities & Skills

Corporate and Legal Work

Ji Yu’s former legal-department experience becomes the foundation for her work as Gao Jing’s representative and manager. 87

• Negotiates with Huanyu Digital and Bilibili on Gao Jing’s behalf. 92
• Oversees company operations, procurement, and major tenders. 166 293 296

Great Wilderness Battle Record

Ji Yu practices the Thirty-Six Battle Forms as a Body Tempering discipline taught by Gao Jing. 254

• Quickly learned the first three forms due to her physical conditioning, yoga practice, and strengthened constitution. 254
• Reached six mastered forms while training with Qin Qing. 257
• Possesses enhanced fitness and practical self-defense ability, but remains unable to withstand firearms or match a true Totem Warrior. 509 511
• Her direct learning of the technique produces grade-five Faith Power for Gao Jing; indirect instruction through her produces lower-grade Faith Power. 254 257

Equipment / Items

• “Pink Crown” diamond necklace — A heart-shaped pendant cut from the 12.85-carat pink diamond Ji Yu discovered at Crater of Diamonds State Park; the finished main diamond weighs 6.80 carats. 137 237
• Spirit Jade jewelry set — Necklace, bracelet, earrings, ring, and brooch valued at roughly 150–200 million; given to her by Gao Jing for use as Spirit Jade’s spokesperson. 307
• Protective talisman — Carried at Gao Jing’s insistence; can protect her from a lethal danger once, but cannot be relied upon repeatedly. 511

Relationships

• Gao Jing — Former elementary-school junior, employer, and lover. Their relationship develops from a chance encounter into a close but deliberately nontraditional partnership built on affection, professional trust, and mutual independence. 87 173 611
• Qin Qing — Close friend and martial-training partner. Ji Yu teaches Qin Qing the Great Wilderness Battle Record, and the two later train together daily. 256 257
• Wang Xuan — Childhood best friend. Ji Yu recruits her to become her assistant, trusting her to help with expanding company and foundation work. 166
• Nine Apertures — Gao Jing’s spirit cat, whom Ji Yu affectionately calls “Little Nine.” She is one of the few people the cat readily accepts and frequently features it on her social media. 119 166 243
• Su Yazhen — Spirit Jade business associate. Their first meeting is polite but strained by Ji Yu’s insecurity and Su Yazhen’s envy over Gao Jing’s gifts and trust in Ji Yu. 307
• Ji Yu’s mother — Pressures Ji Yu over marriage and children, but later accepts Gao Jing as her daughter’s boyfriend after meeting him during Lunar New Year. 611 612
