Background / History

Fang Cheng’s Death

Su Yue initially travels with her husband, Fang Cheng, while heavily pregnant. She anxiously waits for his return from Happiness County; when he reaches the convoy, he has lost an arm and is afflicted by the Poison Wraith’s killing rule. She begs the convoy’s medical personnel, then Su Nian, to save him 12 14 15.

Hao Ren explains that Fang Cheng will suffer progressive decay and eventually become a Poison Puppet. The rule will also deceive Su Yue into believing she can take the poison onto herself, killing her as well. When Su Nian confirms that he cannot cure Fang Cheng, she asks him to provide a swift death instead. She promises her husband that she will live and care for their unborn child, then buries him beside the road with Li Wu’s help 15.

Despite other survivors’ fear of Su Nian, Su Yue remains grateful to him: his actions allowed Fang Cheng to escape the ghosts long enough for them to exchange their final words 18.

Shortages and Awakening

Widowhood leaves Su Yue vulnerable to Cao Chong’s harassment. Li Wu intervenes, but she asks him to stand down rather than risk a fight. As her supplies diminish, she refuses Zhang Yun’s request for fuel because she must preserve what remains for herself and her child 15 23.

She attempts to obtain work on the convoy’s fuel truck, but Zhang Ping rejects her without an interview. With little fuel and few supplies, she wants to support herself but cannot find a practical way to do so 25.

When her pickup finally stops, Li Wu gives her a place on his three-wheeler. During another encounter with Cao Chong, she realizes that she has awakened. The next morning, she reports to Su Nian and proves her medical talent by healing Hao Ren, earning admission to the Awakened group 30 31.

Confronting Cao Chong

After awakening, Su Yue sees Cao Chong recoil from her gaze. Hao Ren then reveals that Cao Chong shoved Fang Cheng toward a Cat Ghost, causing the loss of his arm. Shocked and grieving, she resolves to confront him, although she is afraid to kill 32.

Su Nian offers to act for her, while Hao Ren and Gong Qing urge her to develop the courage to face violence herself. She approaches Cao Chong with a knife and participates in his execution. Her strike does not finish him; Su Nian pierces his heart with the Sin-Cleaving Butcher’s Knife 32 33.

Life Among the Awakened

During the Black King Convoy’s ambush, Su Yue faces its suited Day Specter user with a knife. Neither has substantial direct combat power, and they keep one another at bay through intimidation. She is relieved when he flees and recognizes that appearing dangerous can be useful even when she cannot defeat an opponent 34 36.

During the subsequent wraith crisis, she admits her fear of dying and recognizes that she would likely have been unable to escape without the protection her awakening brought. Singing with Gong Qing briefly eases her tension and reminds her of Fang Cheng 41.

After the convoy escapes the Grave-Crying Specter’s domain, she supports a detour to obtain food and is relieved to find Li Wu alive. She later volunteers to cook blood curd and organizes a fire while Wen Keyi grows Purple-Gold Rice 42 43 44.

Appearance

• Heavily pregnant, with a prominently protruding belly throughout her early appearances and after awakening 14 25 34.
• Described as reasonably attractive shortly after Fang Cheng’s death 15.

Personality

Su Yue is conservative and reserved; Cao Chong’s sexual harassment deeply upsets her. Her devotion to Fang Cheng initially drives desperate pleas for treatment, but she can make painful decisions when hope is exhausted. Choosing a quick death for him and promising to raise their child demonstrate resolve beneath her grief 15 30.

She wants to stand on her own rather than burden Li Wu. Her failed job application reflects that desire, while her refusal to share dwindling supplies shows that protecting her unborn child takes priority over helping every survivor 23 25.

Awakening gives her security without erasing her fear. She remains uneasy about killing and openly admits that she is afraid to die. Nevertheless, she confronts Cao Chong and later accepts that ruthlessness may be necessary if it allows her child to grow up safely 32 33 41 43.
