The good

Devoted - Her loyalties may be a hard thing to trust, due to her history with the Yuan's, though she swears on her children's life that every breath escaping her is for Wei, her husband, and their children.

Nurturing - In her marriage to Xi, she spent her days caring for her mother in law, merely going through motions of caring for another human being. Once Cao Rui was born, Zhen Ji's vision of her future changed. Forbidding any servants or mades to care for her son, Zhen Ji spends almost every moment with him, wanting to be the only woman raising him.

Scholar - At a young age, Lady Zhen had been called intellegent. Despite weilding a bludgeoning flute on the battlefield, words were always her true weapon. While reading and writing came easily to her, her expression of affection did not. In an attempt to appear more approachable, Zhen Ji volunteers to feed the hungry civilians of Wei.

Mother - With her recent childbirth, Zhen Ji's eyes opened anew. No longer did she care for herself and only herself, but now a family was being created around her. Cao Rui saved his mother in more ways than he would ever know, his birth being the start. Every day, Zhen Ji happily spends her free time playing in one of the gardens with her 6 year old son.

Wife - A title she holds most dear; her marriage to Cao Pi was something fate gave her. Though she cannot see her husband every day, she expresses her devotion to him through her love for their son. When they are apart, every breath is give to Rui, though...when the two are together, nothing else matters. She views Pi as the light within her darkness, the calm in her storm. Any request he gives her, whatever it may be, he will have it...

The Bad

Manipulative - Zhen Ji is a woman who's used to getting what she wants, and so when it isn't given to her, matters need to be dealt with by any means neccessary. With a vocabulary as large as China, this woman isn't shy when it comes to twisting words for her own benefit.

Cynical - At the end of the day, whether spent with Pi or Rui, the one she thinks of most is herself. With an impulsive attitude, Zhen Ji never hesitated to follow through on gaining something she desired she wanted, whether it be for herself or her family.

Conceited - With a chin always held high, Zhen Ji prides herself in being the dignified noblewoman she is. Born into wealth, she believed early on that she deserved the life she was given. Any other life was for peasents, which she verbalized quite frequently behind closed doors. In order to keep her from dishonoring the Zhen name any, Zhen Ji volunteered her time to feed and clothe those very same peasents she refused to categorize herself with.

Seductive - Many rumors circulate around Zhen Ji as to who she really spends her intimate time with. Truth be told, she has never lied next to any other man except for her husband, though using her beauty to her advantage isn't out of the realm of possibilities.

Deceitful - Unless you are but a handful of people, almost everything coming out of Zhen Ji's full lips is likely to be a lie. With an intellect such as hers, and as much free time as she has, Zhen Ji is a mistress of lies and a general mystery to many.

history

Yuan Xi... A general, and son of a nobleman. What could possibly be so dull about being the dazzling wife of this man? Surely with the wars raging, it would be a little more lively. She wasn't even quite sure she was in love with this man. He wasn't even that good looking...

It was the year 200 A.D. Zhen Ji accompanied her husband to battle, as she often did. With a sigh, she awaited for the battle to begin. It was cold, though Zhen Ji did not feel the bitter sting of mother nature against her bare arms. She stood, holding her flute, debating on playing another melody for the troops, or rather...for herself. She never knew when her last day would come, but often thought about it. Would she be one of the warriors to succumb to the risks of war, or would she die in her sleep? Aged, no longer radiant, and still by Xi's side? Zhen ji scoffed at the thought.

Once again, Zhen Ji could feel the fires inside of her growing as she stepped her high heeled foot onto the grounds of Guan Du. Once again, Cao Cao came to try and take on Yuan Shao's massive army. Zhen Ji felt nothing toward either men, despite the fact that she had been serving Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's forces did not think the men of Cao Cao would be such a challenge, for Yuan Shao's army was so much larger than that of Cao Cao. What could go wrong? Zhen Ji was guilty of the same thought. It would be a quick victory for her husband and his father.

Little did she know, not only would Yuan Shao lose this battle, but his son would also lose his beautiful wife. It was a page taken straight from Romeo and Juliet. Cao Pi and Zhen Ji... Two warriors from different sides of the fense, meeting in battle for the first time. It really was love at first site, in Zhen Ji's eyes. He was a glorious man, powerful, strong, and very handsome. It was a shame he was Cao Cao's son. Still, though... A little flirting before a fight never hurt anyone, hm?

That thought was an understatement. The young woman never would have guessed that the little bit of flirting they had done would lead to a whole new life. Cao Pi asked for her hand in marriage that day on that battlefield. He definitely was a man of surprises. Maybe it was a little impulsive, but until Zhen Ji laid her eyes on this man, she had never felt so alive. Without hesitation, she agreed, though she did give him one condition. If he beat her in a duel, he would have her until the end of her days. Cao Pi effortlessly won the woman's heart, body, and soul, though Zhen Ji didnt fight him off too hard.

Once their duel was over, Zhen Ji was now married to Cao Pi. Realization set in, and she began to see the battlefield around her. Not only did Cao Pi win their duel, but Cao Cao's force was winning the entire battle. Not to mention, Yuan Xi. He was around here somewhere...licking his father's boots, no doubt. No matter, Zhen Ji was now, and would always, stand beside Cao Pi. She would battle anyone to protect that, including Yuan Xi.
