Image description

Princess Long Ji, sometimes written as Longji, was a character from the classic Ming Dynasty novel 'Fengshen Yanyi'. Princess Longji was the daughter of the exiled Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, Xiwang Mu. She was a celestial being who was able to control the water and rain, and was armed with twin dragon swords as well as a vase that could absorb fire and a mist dew net that could instantly soak an area. She would become involved in the conflict between the Shang and Zhou armies, at first helping Yang Jian (Erlang Shen) defeat Earth Traveler Sun, and then repelling the fire god Luo Xuan, who almost burned down most of West Qi. Jiang Ziya welcomed Princess Longji into his army after hearing of her accomplishments, and she was granted her own residence in West Qi. She married the captured Shang general, Hong Jin, whom she had personally defeated and brought back as a prisoner, to turn him into an ally for the Zhou army. Princess Longji would accompany her husband into many more battles against the Shang Dynasty, before both were eventually killed by the Immortal, Mother Golden Spirit. Jiang Ziya would deify her at the end of the novel as the Goddess of the Red Phoenix Star. Editor: Anandajoti
