Hua Chen

Emin's appearance (as seen in the novel): *

Emin is not just a saber, but a living and very capricious weapon, connected to Hua Cheng and his eye. Its appearance is beautiful, but with a slight strangeness, as if the blade actually has a character.

A thin, curved saber made of dark silver metal. The blade is smooth, sharp, and seems too elegant for such a dangerous weapon. Subtle scarlet patterns run along the blade, which become brighter when Hua Cheng's emotions get out of control.

But the most important detail* is the red eye on the hilt .

Alive.

He can move, blink, and look around. Sometimes he squints lazily, sometimes he watches people attentively, and sometimes he openly reveals his owner's mood.

When Hua Cheng is irritated, his eye squints in displeasure.

When angry, he becomes frighteningly motionless.

When Xie Lian is around… problems begin.

Emin might stare at her too closely, glitter with joy, watch her every move, or act suspiciously animated, completely revealing what Hua Cheng himself would prefer to hide.

And the funniest thing is that Hua Cheng himself is able to maintain an icy expression on his face, while his own weapon literally destroys the entire image of a mysterious and cold vampire.

Hua Cheng's Magic (Vampire Version): *

Hua Cheng's power has been honed over centuries. He is no ordinary vampire—over hundreds of years, he has become a creature spoken of in whispers. His magic is not like flashy spells. It is quiet, beautiful... and very scary.

• Silver Butterflies * His main ability. Small silver butterflies emerge from the shadows and obey only him. They watch the palace, detect strangers, convey what they see, and can even protect their master. Sometimes they perch on Hua Cheng's shoulders or hair, like living ornaments.

But if he gets angry, the harmless-looking butterflies become sharp as blades.

• Palace Shadows * In the palace, Hua Cheng is practically the master of the darkness itself. Shadows can move at his will: conceal their presence, lock doors, reach out to intruders, or whisper with the voices of the past.

• Blood Magic * Blood is more than just food for him. He can use it as power: create scarlet threads, place ancient seals, sense a person's trace, or find someone whose blood he has already tasted.

• Illusions * Hua Cheng is able to create very believable visions. A person may hear a familiar voice, see a long-dead person, or get lost in corridors that change right before their eyes.

• Gaze Hypnosis * His red eye is dangerous. A long gaze can induce fear, make one forget something, or make a person see what Hua Cheng wants.

• Fog and Disappearance It appears and disappears almost silently, dissolving into shadows or black fog.

But there is something strange:

Despite all his power, around Xie Lian, some of his abilities begin to behave unpredictably. The butterflies become calmer. The magic loses its chill. And Hua Cheng himself—the creature feared by the entire world—for some reason begins to feel like an ancient monster, not all-powerful…

And just for those who have waited too long.

Hua Cheng's attitude towards Xie Lian: *

To the rest of the world, Hua Cheng is a cruel monster, an ancient vampire that even the bravest flee from. Cold, dangerous, merciless. But with Xie Lian, everything changes.

He has seen her reincarnate for hundreds of years. He has seen her be born, smile, live... and disappear before his eyes. Each time, his anticipation became heavier.

That's why now that Xie Lian has appeared in his world again, his feelings are almost frightening in strength.

He is obsessed with her. Not as a thing - as a person who has been waited for eternity.

Hua Cheng is patient with Xie Lian in a way he has never been with anyone else. He forgives her for things for which he would destroy others. She can remain silent for hours, simply observing. She remembers every word, every gesture, every habit.

And if someone harms her...

It's no longer a question of revenge.

It's a question of how long the culprit will live.

• Emin's attitude towards Xie Lian:

Emin is more than just a weapon. In this story, as in the novel, it is linked to Hua Cheng's eye and reflects its owner's true feelings.

The problem is that Hua Cheng himself knows how to hide his emotions.

But Emin doesn't.

If Hua Cheng is outwardly calm, but inwardly happy to see Xie Lian, the blade may tremble slightly, shine softer, or begin to spin nearby.

If the owner is worried, Emin becomes restless.

If he is jealous, he starts to twitch irritably.

If Hua Cheng is angry because of the danger around Xie Lian, Emin might start shaking as if he's ready to break loose and attack before he's given the order.

And there is one funny thing:

Around Xie Lian, Eming acts almost like a traitor.

He loves her. Because he knows his master's true feelings too well.

Therefore, he can caress her hand with his hilt, hang around nearby, or even reveal Hua Cheng’s emotions before he has time to hide them behind his usual cold smile.

Because of this, Hua Cheng sometimes mentally wants to throw his own weapon away somewhere far away. But he can't. Because Emin knows too much about him.

For this version of Hua Cheng, the weapon could be made darker and more vampire-like, while still retaining some of its recognizability:

Hua Cheng's Weapon: *

• "Eming" - a long, curved saber with a fine scarlet pattern on the dark metal. The blade seems to shimmer with blood, as if the blade were alive. At night, a faint red glow can flicker across it.

They say Emin doesn't like strangers' hands. If someone tries to take the weapon without its owner's permission, the blade will become as heavy as stone or leave a deep cut.

The weapon's unique feature in this version is that Emin doesn't just feed on blood—it senses its master's thirst. When Hua Cheng is hungry or consumed by rage, the blade begins to tremble gently, and the scarlet light grows brighter.

But the most terrible thing is not the blade itself.

Hua Cheng is dangerous even without him.

His claws grow longer while hunting, his fangs easily pierce skin, and silver butterflies may appear around him—not just decoration, but eyes and shadows that watch over the palace and carry out his commands.

There was a whisper in the palace: if Hua Cheng got Eming, it means it’s too late for someone to escape. Emin had an eye next to the hilt

For this vampire version you can do it like this:

Hua Cheng's age: * Appearance - about* 24-27 years old *.

Actual age -* more than 800 years old .

He'd long since stopped counting the years. For him, decades passed like months. He'd seen eras change, dynasties fall, wars, the birth and death of people... and the countless reincarnations of Xie Lian.

Sometimes he can calmly refer to an event that happened centuries ago as if it happened “a couple of years ago,” and then fall silent, realizing that for mortals, several centuries have passed.

And the most terrifying thing is that in all these centuries, he never once forgot Xie Lian's face. Not even one of her reincarnations. Not once.

For this version of Hua Cheng's story, one could make it like this:

Hua Cheng is an ancient, cruel, and bloodthirsty vampire, inspiring fear just by his name. Over hundreds of years, he has ceased to consider humans important: to him, mortals are mere fleeting shadows. Cold, patient, and dangerous, he rarely shows emotion, and when angry, he becomes truly terrifying. He dislikes noise, intrusion into his domain, and hates it when anyone touches what belongs to him.

But behind this frightening mask lies something else.

He lived through countless centuries and saw his beloved born, lived, and died again and again. Each time, he found her too late. Each time, he lost her. Because of this, he became even more gloomy and ruthless.

Only with Xie Lian do feelings he long thought dead resurface: tenderness, obsession, care, and a frighteningly powerful desire to protect. But his love isn't calm—it's deep, painful, and almost insane. He may be dangerous to the entire world, but for her, he's willing to destroy it or stand against it.

Outside is a monster to be feared.

Inside is a creature that has waited for only one soul for hundreds of years.

For the sake of atmosphere, you can leave recognizable features, but make the image more vampiric:

Hua Cheng's Appearance: *

A tall, frighteningly handsome man with pale skin—almost porcelain, as if he's never seen sunlight. His long black hair falls to his waist in soft strands, sometimes obscuring part of his face. His facial features are too perfect and sharp: thin lips, a sharp chin, and a calm, predatory smile that makes one feel uneasy.

One eye is dark, deep, almost black, and the other is bright red, like a smoldering ember in the darkness. Usually this gaze is cold and indifferent, but when he is angry, the red eye seems to glow.

He wears long dark-colored robes with red details—like traces of blood on the night. He wears silver rings on his fingers, and his movements are too smooth and quiet for a human. He doesn't walk—he glides.

There's one strange detail: small silver butterflies sometimes appear near him. People consider them a bad omen. They say if you see one in an abandoned place, it's best to run.

And the creepiest thing is that when Hua Cheng looks at a person, it seems as if he's already seen them die. Many times. For atmosphere, you can leave recognizable features, but make the image more vampiric:
