Mu Jin

Biodata

Background / History

Mu Jin is Bai Jie’s cousin and Bai Jingtian’s distant aunt. Her position at Shrek Academy was one of the safeguards Bai Jie relied on when arranging his son’s education after the Bai Clan’s near-destruction 3 22.

Her longstanding feud with Zhou Yi involved both family grievances and their feelings for Fan Yu. Zhou Yi expelled Mu Jin’s younger brother despite his having broken no school rules. Mu Jin also accused Zhou Yi of exploiting Fan Yu’s preference for her to ambush and defeat Mu Jin in the past 3 4 12.

Appearance

• Described as an “intellectual beauty” when Bai Jingtian first meets her 4.
• Blushes and becomes noticeably bashful when Bai Jingtian asks about her developing relationship with Fan Yu 22.

Personality

Mu Jin is attentive to her family’s emotional well-being as well as their physical safety. After Bai Jingtian’s enrollment, she arranged a celebration with Bai Jie specifically to ease the pressure on father and son following the Bai Clan’s losses 5.

As a teacher, she wants as many students as possible to remain at Shrek Academy rather than using expulsions to select a small elite. She establishes clear learning goals and permits Bai Jingtian to study independently once he has mastered the course material, provided he does not disrupt lessons 11 12.

Her affection does not prevent her from becoming fiercely confrontational. She physically intervenes when Zhou Yi threatens Bai Jingtian and later vows to destroy Ma Xiaotao if her Evil Fire has injured him. Her immediate concern for his safety reassures Bai Jingtian that her renewed romance with Fan Yu has not displaced her family loyalties 12 22.
