**Lord Palace** - (Ch-1482)

Ring spirit is plant spirit named Tenacious Snow Plum Blossom 傲雪寒梅
Tenacious Snow Plum Blossom had been born with a split personality. Little Lotus was bashful, Drunk Lotus temperamental. And Tenacious Snow Plum Blossom just could not help but like the haughty holier than thou arrogance of Drunk Lotus, always seeking to get close to him but was always snubbed with utter disdain by Drunk Lotus, which had always led Drunk Lotus to want to fight him to the bitter end or he would not let the matter rest.
But despite the brutal beatings, fighting everyday was not going to resolve anything for them. Hence, when not intoxicated, Drunk Lotus who would then turn into Little Lotus, became someone whom Tenacious Snow Plum Blossom’s highly childish personality was completely helpless against, not knowing how to deal with such a small innocent child. But, as he still wanted to remain close to Drunk Lotus at the same time, he then took on the role of a guardian protector when Little Lotus was bullied by anyone, shielding Little Lotus from the rain and wind, seeking to let Drunk Lotus see the good he had in him.
When Tenacious Snow Plum Blossom first awoke the Palace Lord couldn't control his emotions and Tenacious Snow Plum Blossum is a homosexual which led to the Palace Lord to act out on these emotions resulting in a psychological phobia.

**Zi Jin** (子衿) - (Ch-1479)

She was first introduced when she was being bullied by members of the Twelve Palaces as they where mocking the Spirit Jade Palace. She was then tricked by Jun Wu Xie into bringing her into the spirit jade palace's hide out. She accompanied Jun Wu Xie to a 10 day banquet to celebrate the Palace Lord of Pure Grace Palaces birthday. The Elders of Pure Grace Palace set up an arena for the youths of the Twelve Palaces and Zhuge Yin challenged Yue Yi to vent his frustrations against Jun Wu Xie because he was ignored by Gu Xin Yan. When Jun Wu Xie showed up she made the rest of the Twelve Palaces be wary of the Dragon Slayers Palace by reminding everyone of the strength discrepancy between Dragon Slayers Palace and Shadow Moon Palace. But Zi Jin misunderstood her and thought Jun Wu Xie didn't care if Yue Yi lived or died.

When Jun Wu Xie told Yue Yi that it was time to kill Zhuge Yin and planned to pin it on Gu Ying she went to Gu Ying and told him everything including the fact she was a member of Spirit Jade Palace, but this was actually a test to see if she was still loyal to Jun Wu Xie and a trick to get Gu Ying to go to Zhuge Yin so that Jun Wu Xie could kill him.

After returning to the Spirit Jade Palace and everything she had done had been told to the Palace Lord he told her about the real personality of Gu Ying and how her close friend had been murdered by him. Before Jun Wu Xie left she told the palace lord that Zi Jin had exposed her status as a member of Spirit Jade Palace to Gu Ying. She rammed her face into a pole as punishment.

After Jun Wu Xie returned from the Spirit world she now donned a bronze mask and refused to speak to her. When Luo Qingcheng came to the Middle Realm to capture Jun Wu Yao and kill Jun Wu Xie she jumped in front of an attack meant for Jun Wu Xie and died. (Ch-2245)

## **Background**

“The Spirit Jade Palace was originally one among the Twelve Palaces and the Twelve Palaces were initially known as the Thirteen Palaces. The Spirit Jade Palace stood within the higher ranks among the Thirteen Palaces and there were not many palaces who were able to match up to them. Moreover, the criteria the Spirit Jade Palace had for accepting members was exceptional. They only accepted young girls below ten years of age to join and if anyone was beyond that she restriction or of a different gender, the Spirit Jade Palace rejected them without any exception. Besides that, the Spirit Jade Palaces had no other criteria for the young girls regardless of their potential or talents, where they would be accepted once they were selected. And because the disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace grew up from young within the palace, the Spirit Jade Palace was one of the most steady and unshakable among the Thirteen Palaces.”
