“	Though I have resided long in a foreign Nest, I now return fleetingly to share the love with my flesh and blood, to fulfill my duties as observed by the order of filial piety.	”
–Jia Yuanchun, Canto VIII: The Surrendered Witnessing

Jia Yuanchun is an member of the Jia Family who married and moved to Q Corp., but has returned home to Hongyuan to act as a judge in the Family Hierarch Evaluations. She is a supporting character introduced in Canto VIII: The Surrendered Witnessing.

Appearance

Jia Yuanchun wears a massive, ornate, gilded crown with two sets of red tassels on each side. Her black hair is partially tied upwards, while two low pigtails tied in gold bands fall down upon her chest, and two strands of hair fall around her eyes. She also has pink eyes with sharp lashes. She wears an ornate red robe with golden, flower-like accents, with a set of wide sleeves and hemline.

Personality

Jia Yuanchun is well-spoken and cautious, revelling in the status she has achieved in life. She is quick to worry about the past repeating itself, going as far as being ready to have Hong Lu killed to avoid history repeating. She has little issue with bringing harm to her siblings, as mentioned by Jia Xichun in her possible willingness to send assassins after them. She has a deceptive side, looking to topple the status of Hongyuan while it is at its weakest.

Story

Jia Yuanchun returned to H Corp. to assist Jia Mu and Jia Zheng in judging the candidates competing in the Family Hierarch Evaluations. She evaluated many candidates in round 1, with most failing to present a worthy idea of immortality. When it was Hong Lu's turn to present immortality to them, the two exchanged a brief greeting, and she remarked on how strange it was to see him participating in the evaluations. Hong Lu then demonstrated his version of immortality to the judges and allowed himself to be killed by Ryōshū, which shocked all three of them. Yuanchun became distressed, not at the death of her brother, but in fear that he was attempting a resurrection that would be considered taboo under the Head. She was moments away from ordering Heishou Packs under her control to kill Dante and Ryōshū, hoping to prevent the Claw from destroying H Corp. once more, but Jia Mu stopped her and allowed the presentation to be completed. After Dante turned back the clock and Hong Lu was brought back without it seeming to break any taboos, Jia Mu declared that he had passed, and round one soon ended.

Briefly, Jia Yuanchun announced the winning results of the Family Hierarch Evaluations during a feast held to honor Jia Xichun. Her time here is brief as she quickly flees to make use of the power vacuum; as Xichun's position as Hierarch is technically yet to be officialized, she had planned alongside the Xue and Wang Families to organize a coup with the seat of Hierarch open. Her plans would, however, fail following Hong Lu's defeat of Jia Mu at Tiekan Temple and Xichun's proper ascent to the throne.

Her insubordination having fallen through, she had Xue Baochai, a dissenting voice of the plan, captured and taken to her. Yuanchun makes it known that while the Xue family was unaware of her status as an informant to Hong Lu, she could very easily shield her from the fallout and ascertain that her betrayal would never be discovered; all Yuanchun asks in return is her assistance in accomplishing a task.
