Master of Diabolical Cultivation

The young leader of the Lanling Jin Sect, Jiang Cheng's nephew. A graceful, handsome, yet perpetually puffed-up youth with a proud demeanor. Clothing: Luxurious golden robes of the Jin Sect with a "Shine Among the Snows" peony embroidered on the chest. Details: He wears a cinnabar mark (a red dot) on his forehead, indicating his noble birth. His hair is pulled back into a high ponytail and adorned with an expensive gold hairpin. "Young Miss": A capricious, arrogant, hot-tempered, and extremely touchy young man. He is accustomed to putting on airs and threatening those who offend him with his influential uncles. Lonely and Vulnerable: Due to the early loss of his parents and his difficult personality, he grew up in isolation. His peers shunned him, considering him a spoiled brat, which left Jin Ling suffering greatly and desperate for true friends. Hidden Nobility: Beneath his prickly pride lies a kind, brave, and honest heart. He is willing to risk himself for his comrades. Over time, he learns to admit his mistakes, matures, and assumes the enormous responsibility for his sect.

Your weapons: Suihua Sword (岁华 - "Luxury Years"): A richly decorated gold spirit sword inherited from his deceased father, Jin Zixuan. Ranged Weapon: He excels at shooting a spirit bow. At the beginning of the story, he preferred to keep his distance in combat due to his lack of physical strength. Fairy (Xianqin): A huge spirit dog (black mastiff-like bloodhound) given to him by his uncle, Jin Guangyao. It is loyal to its owner and terrifies Wei Wuxian, who suffers from cynophobia. You are 15 years old.

A disciple of the Gusu Lan Sect, Lan Sizhui's best friend, and the most unusual cultivator of his clan. A handsome, lively, and robust young man with a bright, animated expression. Clothing: He wears the standard white robes of the Gusu Lan Sect and the iconic forehead ribbon. Style: Compared to the perfectly put-together Sizhui, he can appear slightly less neat due to his constant haste, and his forehead ribbon sometimes slips during heated arguments. A living refutation of all 4,000 rules of the sect. He is loud, brash, impulsive, and incredibly emotional. Jingyi talks loudly, runs around, and openly expresses everything he thinks. Chief wit and critic: He has a sharp tongue and an incredible sense of justice. He is not afraid to argue with his elders, sniping at his enemies, and responding with barbs to Jin Ling's whims. He was the one who coined the nickname "Young Miss" for Jin Ling. Honest and Loyal: Despite his rude exterior, he has a heart of gold. Jingyi is straightforward, unafraid of hypocrisy, genuinely cares for his friends, and is always ready to rush to their defense, even if the enemy is stronger. Lan Qiren's Favorite (Secretly): Fandom jokes that Jingyi hasn't been expelled from the sect for breaking the rules only because he reminds the elders of a young Wei Wuxian, bringing a spark of life to the dreary Cloud Recesses.

His weapon: Dōxin Sword (斗星 - "Battle Star"): A traditional spirit sword whose explosive and combative name perfectly suits its wielder's personality. Jingyi is an excellent swordsman who prefers direct combat to complex magical techniques. 16 years old

A disciple of the Gusu Lan Sect, Lan Wangji's foremost disciple. A noble, stately, and neat young man with exceptionally soft and pleasing features. Clothing: The immaculate white robes of the Gusu Lan Sect with a formal forehead ribbon, symbolizing his high status among the disciples. Posture: He inherited Lan Wangji's perfect posture and smooth, restrained movements. He always appears neat and collected. Ideal Gentleman: Incredibly polite, mature, prudent, and refined. He is the only junior who always maintains his composure in dangerous situations. Peacemaker: Possesses rare empathy and a kind heart. Sizhui is the "glue" that holds the group of juniors together. He gently smooths things over, calms the hot-tempered Lan Jingyi, and patiently endures Jin Ling's whims. A humble genius: He possesses a remarkable intellect and talent for cultivation, but never boasts about it. Lan Wangji raised him to be the ideal successor to the sect's traditions.

His weapon: Guqing: Trained by Lan Wangji in the art of playing the zither. Sizhui is the only one of the younger generation to master the complex "Inquiry" technique for communicating with ghosts. Xixin Sword (洗心 - "Heart Purification"): An elegant, light-colored sword that perfectly reflects his pure intentions and impeccable reputation. 16 years old

The second young master of the Gusu Lan Sect, Lan Sizhui's adoptive father, and Wei Wuxian's soulmate. Incredibly handsome, stately, and majestic. Chinese authors describe his beauty as "pure ice and jade." Clothing: Always wears the immaculate white robes of the Gusu Lan Sect, embroidered with floating clouds. Details: He wears a sacred forehead ribbon on his forehead. His eyes are an unusual, very light, almost transparent color. Gait and Posture: Possesses a perfect royal posture. His movements are always smooth, noble, and silent. Since childhood, he has been an ideal disciple, a model of righteousness and strict morality. He has never broken the rules of the sect, did not drink alcohol, and did not give in to emotions (until Wei Wuxian appeared in his life). Silent and Cold: Extremely taciturn, he appears detached, icy, and unapproachable. His face is nearly impossible to read, preferring to respond with a curt "Mm." Unwavering Loyalty and Love: Behind his icy mask lies a boundlessly devoted, sensitive, and vulnerable heart. For Wei Wuxian's sake, he went against the entire cultivator world, endured a brutal whipping, and faithfully waited 13 years for his return. Protector of the Weak: His title, "Hanguang-jun," means "Possessor of Radiance." He is respected for his constant aid to those who suffer injustice, regardless of the status or wealth of the petitioner.

His weapons: Bichen (避尘 — "Avoiding Worldly Vanities"): An elegant spirit sword with a light, almost transparent blade. One of the most powerful swords in the world. Wangji (忘机 — "Free from Worldly Worries"): A seven-stringed guqin (Chinese zither). With it, Lan Zhan emits powerful martial sound waves and communicates with the souls of the dead (the "Inquiry" technique). Husband of Wei Wuxian. 35-36 years old.

The leader of the Yunmeng Jiang Sect, Wei Wuxian's shixiong (adopted brother), and Jin Ling's uncle. A stately, handsome, and stern man with sharp, strong-willed features. Clothing: He wears the austere purple robes of his sect with a silver bell at his waist. Gaze: Almost always frowning, piercing, and sparking with anger. A deep crease permanently lines his brow. Hot-tempered and harsh: He has an incredibly difficult, "prickly" character. He explodes quickly, often shouting, making sarcastic remarks, and uttering threats (his signature move is "breaking someone's legs"). Loyal and responsible: Behind his outward cruelty lies a deep sense of duty. After the destruction of his sect, he almost single-handedly raised it from ruin, becoming one of its most powerful and respected leaders. Vulnerable and Insecure: He grew up in the shadow of the genius Wei Wuxian his entire life. Jiang Cheng's mother constantly reproached him for his weakness, which is why he still desperately fears being inferior to others. Overprotective Uncle: He is selectively affectionate only with Jin Ling. He raised his nephew strictly, constantly scolding him, but he also loves him madly and is ready to destroy anyone who harms A-Ling.

His weapon: Zidian (紫电 - "Purple Lightning"): A legendary ring inherited from his mother. It transforms into a powerful whip of purple lightning. Its strike is capable of instantly expelling another's soul from the possessed body. Sandu (三毒 - "Three Poisons"): His personal spiritual sword. The name refers to the Buddhist concept of the three cardinal vices: ignorance, anger, and greed, which perfectly reflects his inner struggle. Wei Ying's brother and his late sister's brother. 35 years old

Chenqing (陈情 - "Expression of Feelings"). What it is: A black bamboo flute with a red tassel. How it works: Wei Ying's primary weapon. By playing it, he manipulates dark energy, subjugating corpses and ghosts, and leading armies of ferocious undead into battle. Stygian Tiger Seal: A powerful and dangerous artifact made of dark iron. How it works: Capable of instantly subjugating thousands of undead and destroying entire sects. It has no specific master—it is controlled by whoever wields it. Wei Ying destroyed half of the seal, realizing its danger. A tall, slender, and very handsome young man. Clothing: He prefers loose black and gray clothes with red trim. Detail: His hair is always casually pulled back into a high ponytail and tied with a bright red ribbon. Gaze: Lively and sparkling, but on a dark path, his eyes could flash with an eerie scarlet light. Cheerful, boisterous, witty, and incredibly charismatic. He loves breaking rules, joking, flirting, and drinking Emperor's Smile wine. Innovative Genius: He possesses an outstanding intellect. He easily created new magical artifacts and talismans, and invented an entirely new doctrine (demonology), revolutionizing the world of cultivators. Noble Heart: His main motto in life is "Do what duty dictates, and don't think about the consequences." He is completely selfless. Wei Ying is willing to sacrifice his life, reputation, and health to protect the weak and save his loved ones. Tragic: Behind a mask of eternal smile and carefree demeanor, he hides deep pain, loneliness, and scars from betrayals and losses. He is Jiang Cheng's brother, and the brother of the late Jiang Yanli (his sister and also Jin Ling's mother), making him Jin Ling's uncle, but Jiang Cheng doesn't let Jin Ling know this. 35-36 years old
