History

Escape from the Zhu Family

Zhu Zhuqing is the legitimate second daughter of a leading aristocratic family in the Star Luo Empire. Her family follows an elimination system in which competing heirs face death if they lose. Her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun, is seven years older, and their parents regard Zhu Zhuqing as a discarded pawn. They knowingly allow Zhu Zhuyun’s assassination attempts against her 17 29 32.

Despite her noble birth, Zhu Zhuqing must handle her own daily necessities. She eventually escapes to seek a way to survive, hoping that the Cultivation Room’s offspring-feedback mechanism can overcome her cultivation disadvantage 17 25.

Commissioning Zhu Zhuyou

Zhu Zhuqing approaches Lin Yan with only a few hundred Gold Soul Coins—far below the shop’s 100,000-coin admission fee. Her persistence persuades him to assess her credit. The system verifies her legal inheritance rights and approves ten million Gold Soul Coins against her share of the Zhu Family’s property 17 18.

She commits the entire allowance to creating a highly talented child and takes an additional personal loan of 2.82 million Gold Soul Coins. Although she initially selects innate level 10 soul power, the completed child awakens at level 9; the later itemized bill also lists the level-9 package 19 20 21 33.

Lin Yan accelerates the child’s development to the appearance of a six-year-old. After another customer identifies an acceleration overcharge, he refunds Zhu Zhuqing 400,000 Gold Soul Coins and grants her daughter second-tier heaven-favored fortune as compensation 20.

Zhu Zhuqing names her daughter Zhu Zhuyou. The child’s awakening immediately raises her soul power to level 28, giving her hope of closing the five-level gap with Zhu Zhuyun. Motherhood also gives her companionship and a reason to stop relying on her estranged fiancé 21.

Debt Collection and Family Break

Zhu Zhuqing deliberately chooses a one-day repayment term for the ten-million-coin inheritance-backed loan, ensuring that Lin Yan will promptly collect from her family. However, she refuses his proposal to charge them beyond her assessed inheritance share, accepting responsibility for the additional borrowing herself 20 25 26.

She and Zhu Zhuyou accompany Lin Yan to the Zhu estate aboard Kunpeng. Zhu Wei initially dismisses the bill as fraudulent, then tries to claim Zhu Zhuyou after witnessing her martial souls while still refusing payment. His denial that Zhu Zhuqing will inherit anything destroys her remaining hope of familial affection 31 32 33 34.

Lin Yan defeats Zhu Wei and the family ancestor, raising his demand to twenty million Gold Soul Coins. When her mother asks her to plead for Zhu Wei, Zhu Zhuqing declares that she no longer considers herself their daughter. She leaves with Lin Yan and Zhu Zhuyou after the debt is collected, while Zhu Wei sends spies to investigate them in Suotuo City 35 38.

Securing Independent Protection

Recognizing that Zhu Zhuyou’s talent attracts kidnappers and other opportunists, Zhu Zhuqing purchases a twelve-year Blazing Flame Guard package. She later takes another loan for an escort of her own. With both mother and daughter protected, Lin Yan ends their temporary stay at his shop 22 51 79.

Her success becomes a precedent in the Star Luo succession struggle. Dai Mubai cites her example when demanding access to the same services, while Zhu Zhuyun recognizes that offspring feedback could eventually erase her advantage in age 92.

Appearance

• Slender build and an exquisite face 17.
• Wears a fitted black outfit at her introduction 17.
• Has a distinctly cool, aloof bearing 17 20.

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is persistent and pragmatic under pressure. She refuses to leave when Lin Yan initially rejects her, accepts substantial debt to improve her chances of survival, and quickly identifies how inheritance-backed borrowing can work against the family that abandoned her 17 18.

Her resentment has limits: she insists on taking only the inheritance share legally assessed as hers and repaying the excess personally. Toward Zhu Zhuyou, her reserve gives way to open affection and protectiveness; she prioritizes her daughter’s safety even when protection requires further borrowing 20 21 22 24.

Notable Quotes

“Boss, since my assessed share of the inheritance is only ten million, I'll only take the portion I'm entitled to. As for the remaining money, I'll repay it myself. That's my bottom line.” 20

“Now you remember I'm your daughter?” 35

Trivia

• Zhu Zhuqing deliberately gives Zhu Zhuyou a name from her own naming generation to make their everyday relationship feel less awkward: after accelerated growth, her daughter appears only six years younger than her 21.
