Background

Yu Ji is the daughter of Yu Xin, patriarch of the Yu Clan, an artifact-forging lineage that once remained secluded under an ancestral rule against entering official service. Her elder brother is Yu Ziqi, later known as the Vajra King. 152 487 1121

During the siege of Yu Clan Ironclad Castle, Yu Ji first appears while defending her clan. She restores Jian Shang’s depleted stamina, injuries, and inner force with a healing art far beyond his own methods, prompting him to recognize both her identity and strategic value. 146 148

The destruction surrounding Jiangyang City leaves Yu Ji burdened by the consequences of the Yu Clan’s beauty, prestige, and treasures. Although she initially supports Xiang Yu in battle, she is drawn toward Jian Shang through his protection, their developing affection, and her hope that he can bring peace to the realm. 153 169

Appearance

Yu Ji is a tall, slender woman of exceptional beauty, renowned as one of the four greatest historical beauties of the era. 148 193

• Long, lustrous black hair, loosely coiled and secured with a green wooden hairpin. 148
• Fair, jade-like skin and refined, delicate features. 148
• Often wears an elegant peach-red silk gown; later appears in a peach-blossom-colored warrior outfit while fighting. 148 358
• Her healing arts manifest as peach-red radiance, pink flower mist, and drifting Flower Storms. 148 378
• As Great Huan’s Mending-Heaven Immortal Empress, she wears a phoenix crown and phoenix robes. 1614

Personality

Yu Ji is gentle, humble, compassionate, and deeply opposed to needless war. She devoted herself to medicine because she wished to preserve peaceful lives for ordinary people, and her willingness to follow Jian Shang is tied to his ability to end conflict across most of the realm. 169

Despite her soft-spoken manner, Yu Ji is not passive. She repeatedly places herself near the front lines to heal soldiers, chooses to remain with Jian Shang amid divided loyalties, and accepts the pain of facing her brother as an enemy commander rather than ask him to betray his convictions. 378 1120 1121

Her kindness conceals formidable resolve and combat talent. When enraged, she can fight with startling directness, killing a True Immortal in three moves before quietly returning to Jian Shang’s side. 1110

Abilities & Skills

Healing Arts

Yu Ji’s principal strength is her extraordinary restorative cultivation, which can recover stamina, heal injuries, restore True Qi, and refresh exhausted troops.

• Vital Healing Art — Immediately clears pain, fatigue, weakness, and injuries; it can close grave wounds after embedded weapons are extracted. 148 379
• Heaven-Reversing Art — Releases peach-red light and flower mist over nearby allies, restoring their vitality and condition. 148
• Heavenly Life Art — Heals and revitalizes armies on a massive scale; she restored more than 120,000 exhausted Wuhuan and Great Qin soldiers, though the exertion left her pale and depleted. 378
• Flower Storm — Restores Jian Shang’s stamina and True Qi in battle, enabling him to resume fighting after severe depletion. 358
• Her healing can rapidly restore catastrophic wounds, but it initially cannot regenerate lost limbs; Yu Ji believes this may become possible as her cultivation rises. 379

Phoenix and Life Techniques

Yu Ji later gains additional life- and phoenix-aligned abilities suited to her path.

• Phoenix Blesses All Life — A healing divine ability used to restore Jian Shang and others. 949
• Nourish All Creation — A healing-support innate divine ability obtained from the Phoenix Consort’s spoils. 631
• Phoenix Dancing Across the Nine Heavens — A secret art encompassing dance, charm, movement, self-preservation, and related techniques. 631
• Wisdom-Bestowing Art — Used on lion-wolves and cavalry mounts to improve their spirituality, coordination, combat ability, and potential to become demonic beasts. 685

Heaven-Mending Dao

Yu Ji cultivates the Heaven-Mending Dao and wields the Mending-Heaven Divine Stone, later revealed to be the sacred Dao-Seeking Stone. 1036 1821

• The stone restores energy and can accelerate the cultivation of allies fighting within its influence. 1036
• She uses Questioning Heaven and the Dao-Seeking Stone to neutralize the Ninefold Pure Pagoda’s attack. 1821
• She sustains a time-stopped realm while Jian Shang performs Heaven-Cleaving, exhausting herself to buy him and the Supreme Rulers time. 1825 1827
• Her mending arts can stabilize souls and suppress destructive demonic influence, as demonstrated when she helps Lü Fengxian resist the War God Demon Soul. 1637

Swordsmanship and Sword Dance

Though better known as a healer, Yu Ji is an accomplished sword cultivator whose sword dance conceals substantial killing power.

• Butterfly-Light Thousand Dances — Produces dense sword lights like dancing butterflies; she uses it to hold off dozens of martial experts and Otherworlders. 359
• Sword into a Star River — Transforms her Sword Qi into a brilliant star river to confront a True Immortal sword cultivator. 1109
• Her True Immortal Sword Qi is powerful enough to threaten True Immortals, though she often divides her focus between combat and supporting Great Huan’s forces. 1085
• She kills Wind-Chasing Sword Immortal with two sword techniques and a thrown Mending-Heaven Divine Stone. 1110
• Direct combat is not her preferred role; stronger opponents can overwhelm her when she lacks support or space to maneuver. 359

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Dao-Seeking Stone — The sacred treasure long known as the Mending-Heaven Divine Stone; used for Heaven-Mending, time manipulation, defense, and overwhelming force. 1821 1825
• Blueheart Sky Sword — A gentle, tranquil immortal sword above Heaven Grade, specifically selected for Yu Ji. 1142
• Phoenix Feather Rosy Garment — An Earth Grade spiritual treasure that improves her cultivation, strength, and self-defense. 631
• Seven-Colored Phoenix Egg — Entrusted to Yu Ji alongside the Phoenix Consort’s inherited abilities. 631
• Treasured sword — Used in her sword dances and battlefield defense before she receives the Blueheart Sky Sword. 359 1142

Relationships

• Jian Shang / Xiao Ying — Her lord, husband, and fellow ruler of Great Huan. Yu Ji’s decision to remain with him resolves her divided allegiance, while her healing and Heaven-Mending power become indispensable to his campaigns and ascension. 378 1025 1827
• Xiang Yu — Former ally and devoted admirer. Yu Ji supports him in battle but eventually rejects his possessive attempt to prevent her departure and chooses Jian Shang instead. 151 489
• Yu Xin — Father and Yu Clan patriarch. His attempt to link the clan’s halberds to Yu Ji’s dowry embarrasses her and reveals the political weight attached to her future. 152
• Yu Ziqi — Elder brother. Their reunion after seven or eight years is emotional, but war later places them on opposing sides; Yu Ji asks that he be granted a dignified death rather than be forced to abandon his ideals. 487 1120
• Qi Ji — Fellow imperial consort and close sisterly companion. Qi Ji advocates for Yu Ji’s safety, helps secure protectors for her, and jointly heals Zhi Ji with her. 379 922
• Gao Hong — Early battlefield companion who treats Yu Ji with warmth and mutual respect; Gao Hong volunteers to replace Yu Ji as support during the Ironclad Castle battle. 148 155
• Lan Fenghuang — Protector and ally who escorts Yu Ji away from the Xiang Clan; Yu Ji restores Lan Fenghuang to peak condition during her fight with Xiang Yu. 489
• Li Yanyan — A close friend whose temperament and interests closely match Yu Ji’s; Yu Ji devotes extended effort to maintaining Li Yanyan’s condition after severe injury. 782 790
• Dian Gang, Xu Tian, and Gan Lan — Legendary veterans healed by Yu Ji after near-fatal injuries; they offer themselves as her protectors out of gratitude. 379

Story Role / Major Arcs

Defense of Ironclad Castle

Yu Ji is introduced as the Yu Clan’s peach-robed healer during the siege of Ironclad Castle. She rescues Jian Shang from exhaustion, heals the Golden Wolf Cavalry, and repeatedly empowers Xiang Yu in his duel with Wutu Xiong. 146 148 151

Divided Loyalties

Jian Shang attempts to recruit Yu Ji, but she declares that she would only follow a ruler capable of bringing peace to most of the realm. She remains caught between Jian Shang, the Yu Clan, and Xiang Yu’s Jiangdong faction until she ultimately chooses to stay with Jian Shang. 169 359 378

Wuhuan Army Healer

After joining Jian Shang’s side, Yu Ji transforms exhausted armies into battle-ready forces with the Heavenly Life Art. Her compassion wins the respect of the Wuhuan and Great Qin soldiers, while her presence drastically reduces casualties during the Shaqiu breakout. 378 379

Great Huan Consort and Imperial Support

Yu Ji becomes a central support figure in Great Huan, healing soldiers and civilians, aiding territorial development, and helping turn Hidden Dragon Commandery into a land regarded as blessed by heaven. 438

When Jian Shang is absent and the Great Huan Expeditionary Army faces crisis, Yu Ji shoulders major responsibility and demonstrates that her usual indifference to authority is a personal choice rather than a lack of political or military ability. 1025

Conflict with the Xiang Clan

Yu Ji’s changed status creates open conflict with Xiang Yu and the Xiang Clan. She rejects Xiang Yu’s attempt to keep her by force, accepts Lan Fenghuang’s escort back to Wuhuan territory, and later endures the tragedy of Yu Ziqi commanding an enemy army. 489 1120

Immortal Empress

As Great Huan’s Immortal Empress, Yu Ji’s healing, swordsmanship, and Heaven-Mending cultivation continue to develop. She fights True Immortals, mends allies’ souls, and eventually reveals genuine Immortal Emperor cultivation and the Dao-Seeking Stone. 1109 1110 1637 1821

Heaven-Cleaving

Yu Ji sustains the Dao-Seeking Stone’s time-stopped realm while Xiao Ying and the Supreme Rulers create a new heaven and earth. She bears the greatest external burden of the breakthrough and collapses from exhaustion when the group returns to the battlefield. 1825 1827
