Animation

**Mu Yue** (畝月, *Mǔ Yuè*), courtesy name **Mu Xi** (畝喜, *Mǔ Xǐ*) is the second young mistress of the Long Miao Mu. Titled as **Hua Zhi Nu Zhuren** (花之女主人, *Huā zhī nǚ zhǔrén*), Mu Yue is one of the Twin Dragon Lords of Mu, alongside her older sister, Mu Xianxian.

Due to her position as an resident on Wanning Shuiyu Sect, as a inner disciple of the cultivation master Chu Niao, she is the heiress apparent to his position as the next sect leader. The wife of Ye Wangxi, whom is her dearest childhood friend as well as her first and only love, she is the clan's **Madame Ye** (叶夫人, *Yè-fūrén*) by nature of convention.

## Appearance

> Gentle and fair like a beautiful rosebud that had just sprouted from the ground, her beauty far oustripped the other females of her clan yet had a fierceness that they didn't possess or inherit. A lethal grace to her facial features and a coldness lingering in her eyes that didn't seem able to be displaced by mortal means. [...] her appearance was sharp like a blade, her magenta-violet eyes delicately shaped, her nose shapely and thin, a sophisticated bearing and refined manners.

She wears a light lilac/lavender dress, with rich embrodiery and white shoulder-pads almost resembling armor-pads. A white shawl trails from both of her arms and her hair is loosely bound in a braid. A butterfly hair ornament, dangling butterfly ornaments with a purple orb danging underneath and a forehead circlet are her usual accessories.

## Personality

Mu Yue is extremely righteous and holds a strong belief in putting the welfare of the people before her own desires and personal relationships, a significant part of her behavioral patterns. Ultimately, this trait becomes a catalyst for the first of her major conflicts with her teacher Chu Niao and ends up in the latter's death, something that leads to Mu Yue's future mental declination rapidly into depression.

Firmly believing in upholding justice and fairness, she refused to shrink from punishments and even stated that to do so would further stain the reputation of the sect's teachers to an unforgivable amount. As such, many citizens that are situated in the village look her to affirmation of justice and fairness in the face of unforgivable deeds and acts.

## History

### Youth

#### Early Years

Mu Yue was born the younger daughter of Lan Wan'er, who was herself the eldest daughter of Lan Baiyu and Clan Leader Mu. While her elder sister Mu Xianxian was raised by their parents, Yue was not given the same conditions or the same upbringing as her sickly older sister. This would further strain the relationship between Yue and Xianxian as time went on, to the point of nearly causing them to break off their pact as actual siblings, their relationship only repairing when her older sister's sickness makes her ill to the point of almost sheer death.

Mu Yue is likely between the ages of eight and thirteen when her older sister becomes so deadly ill. Traumatized by this scene, Yue works hard in order to insure the survival of her older sister, training hard in order to be able to protect them. As a result, her Golden Core is formed earlier than most of the disciples in her generation.

## Trivia

* Mu Yue was suggested as a candidate for the position of Chief Cultivator by her sectmates and her teacher Chu Niao but rejected the position as she was the fiancée of the Ye Clan's next leader Ye Wangxi, believing it to be improper. She instead recommended Nie Huaisang as a candidate.
