Appearance

Ji Juechen is a pale young man in his mid-twenties with long black hair tied back by a simple headband. His usual slow, languid bearing conceals a cold, pure, blade-like presence. 107

• Long, somewhat messy black hair; it can gain a silvery sheen when he releases his full power. 107 108
• Sickly pale complexion. 107
• Wields a plain, rough-looking black longsword approximately four feet long. 107
• Often wears a loose black robe while operating under disguise. 149

Personality

Ji Juechen is intensely devoted to swordsmanship and seeks capable opponents to refine himself. After meeting Lin Qianyi, he repeatedly challenges her to spars; their dozens of matches are usually draws or narrow victories. He values a victory earned through genuine strength rather than tricks. 108 109

He is generally cold, taciturn, and dismissive toward opponents, particularly in battle. In contrast, he is openly gentle, protective, and obedient toward Lin Qianyi. His protectiveness can escalate into killing intent when he believes she is threatened, though her presence can calm his Soul Power fluctuations. 144 147 164 172
