Li Tianchen is an antagonist from the anime "Time Agent" and the twin brother of Li Tianxi.

Appearance

He is a slender young man of average height—around 168 cm. He has short pink hair and coral-pink eyes that turn red when he uses his abilities.

In everyday life, he wears a lilac-blue jacket with yellow, pink, and white accents over a yellow sweatshirt, which also features pink and blue details. The look is completed with white shorts, long white socks, and lilac-blue and pink shoes.

When Li Tianchen disguises himself as his sister, he wears a wig, a mask, a pink hoodie, a pink shirt, and pink shoes. In season three, a tattoo of the Saros Society emblem appears on his left arm.

Character

As a child, Li Tianchen was brash and hot-tempered, but he was also very caring and protective of his sister. He had a strong sense of justice—he detested hypocrisy and couldn't stand anyone pretending to be kind. A difficult past—the loss of his parents and experiencing domestic violence—had a profound impact on his personality.

As an adult, he becomes tough, unstable, and pessimistic about the future. He commits crimes using his ability, and at first, he's willing to do anything to achieve his goal. However, his connection with his sister remains paramount: in the finale of the second season, when Li Tianxi is seriously injured, he realizes that she is more important to him than any revenge, and he leaves with her, abandoning his previous plans.

Abilities and role in the plot

Li Tianchen's primary ability is control over people through touch: a simple touch on the shoulder or arm is enough to compel someone to follow his orders. He can control at least two people simultaneously.

His power is especially effective when combined with his sister's abilities: Li Tianxi can possess a person from a photograph and see the world through their eyes, but he cannot control them. If Li Tianchen holds his sister's hand, he uses her perception to locate and control a target.

Initially, Li Tianchen wanted to turn to Cheng Xiaoshi for help, as he could access the past through photographs. He hoped to use him to change the tragic events that destroyed their family: as children, he and his sister killed their father, who had abused their mother, leaving them orphans and living with a long history of guilt. When Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang refused to help, Li Tianchen decided to capture Cheng Xiaoshi and rewrite the past himself.

For most of the second season, he and his sister work for former police officer Qian Jin, carrying out various jobs. He later joins the Saros Society under Liu Xiao. His story is that of a man obsessed with rectifying the past, but ultimately choosing a connection with a loved one over revenge and attempts to replay everything.

A Yuan (Ā Yuán) is a character from Time Agent who is associated with the Saros Society.

Appearance

A Yuan is a young man with a distinctive feature: a scar on his lips. His appearance is rather reserved, without any flashy accents—there's a certain detachment and coldness about him. He's usually dressed simply but neatly, often in dark clothes, emphasizing his seriousness and his affiliation with a closed organization. There's a hint of weariness in his appearance—as if he's seen a lot and is used to keeping a low profile, observing what's going on.

Character
A man of few words. Yuan rarely speaks, except for rare isolated phrases or occasional uses of his ability.
Expressiveness. Despite his silence, he reacts emotionally to what's happening around him.
Shyness and curiosity. He displays shyness, but at the same time, he is genuinely interested in the events around him.
Emotionality. A Yuan is capable of deep emotions. For example, he became deeply upset and cried when Jack pushed his classmate Xia Fei down the stairs.

Abilities and role in the plot

A Yuan's abilities are directly tied to the methods of the Saros Society—he acts more as a tactician and executor than as a hero with a flashy superpower. His strength lies in his ability to calculate situations, control resources and people, and remain unnoticed when necessary. He often finds himself at the scene of key events, but maintains a background role, directing affairs from the shadows.

In the story, he serves as one of the people who maintains the Society's structure and ensures the fulfillment of its objectives. A Yuan participates in operations where discipline and precision are essential, and often serves as a link between the various participants. His presence often signifies that the stakes have been raised: if A Yuan enters the game, it means the Saros Society has decided to take things seriously.

His arc in the story highlights that not all Time Agent characters rely on flashy abilities—some change the course of events through endurance, calculation, and loyalty.

Height and Proportions. *He's tall—185 cm—but not bulky. His build is slender and toned, without bulging muscles: he exudes endurance and speed, not brute strength. His posture is upright, as if he's always focused and ready to lunge.

• Face and Eyes. *Jay Lee has neat yet distinctive features: his cheekbones are slightly defined, his nose is straight, and his jawline is defined. His eyes are black, calm, but very attentive. His main feature is that when he uses his ability, his pupils turn completely white: it looks eerie and striking, and the contrast with his dark eyes and blue hair makes the moment especially striking. He almost always seems to squint slightly or look with half-closed eyes—this gives him a cold and assessing look, as if he can read the person he's talking to in a second.

• Hair. *Dark blue, medium length. In the front, the strands fall freely over the forehead and sides of the face, slightly covering the temples - this adds a casual, but deliberate, touch to the image. In the back, the hair is slightly lower than the nape of the neck, not pulled back, lying naturally. The color is unusual, immediately distinguishing him from the other characters: not black, not purple, but a deep dark blue, almost like the night sky.

• Outfit - a complete set. *

• Turtleneck: *black, form-fitting, without unnecessary details. The fabric looks dense but stretchy - as if designed not to interfere with movement.

• Jacket: *light gray, semi-fitted, without flashy fasteners or patches. It doesn't look like a uniform, but it's not casual either: it has a hint of a "service" style.

• Pants: *dark gray, wide, but not baggy. The fit is loose so as not to restrict movement, but the silhouette remains put together. The belt is gray, simple.

• Accent detail: *a black strap on the left hip - it's not decorative, but rather functional: it could be part of the outfit or a fastening for something.

• Shoes: *light gray shoes with metal inserts on the toe and side. These are not sneakers or heavy boots, but something in between: practical, but stylish. Socks are black, simple.

• Accessories: *a silver chain around the neck that connects the earrings. This is the most noticeable detail: it immediately attracts the eye and makes the image memorable. The metal is cold, without patina, looking new and neat.

• Color scheme and overall impression. Black, gray, and dark blue dominate his appearance. This gives him a restrained, even slightly detached, appearance, but not impersonal: every detail contributes to the image of a collected professional. Symbolically, he is associated with the snow leopard, and this fits his appearance well: he seems to move calmly but precisely, like a predator in control.

Character

Jay Lee is a person who analyzes first, then acts. He's not easily swayed by emotion: he's more likely to look for logic, weaknesses, and develop a strategy. He has an analytical mindset, and likes to break things down into pieces.

He's straightforward, sometimes even harsh, but not for the sake of being offensive: he prioritizes getting the point across quickly and clearly. His dialogues often include a touch of irony or dry sarcasm—not malicious, but a way to maintain distance while simultaneously showing he understands.

At the same time, he's not a stone wall: in critical situations, he's capable of making quick decisions and taking responsibility. He has his own principles, and he doesn't compromise them, even if it complicates the task. Another small detail that adds depth to him: he's likely a vegetarian—it's not a central trait, but it shows that he has personal boundaries and convictions.

His interactions with Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang create tension: he sees their abilities as a potential threat and tries to understand how they work to prevent further crimes. However, he doesn't act recklessly; rather, he observes, collects data, and only then draws conclusions.

Story

Jay Lee is a special agent in the Paranormal Crime Unit at the Brydon Crime Agency. At 27, he's already earned a reputation for getting things done.

He's sent to Yingdu when a crime wave involving superpowers begins there. His mission is to understand the situation, identify patterns, and stop the threat. As part of this investigation, he stumbles upon the photo studio where Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang work and begins following them.

For Jay Lee, they are both potential suspects and a valuable source of information. He distrusts their methods, but recognizes that they could help him get to the bottom of the matter faster. So he operates on the edge: observing, intervening when necessary, and simultaneously trying to understand how controllable and safe their abilities are.

As the story progresses, a complex dynamic develops between him and the main characters: from mistrust and pressure to forced cooperation. He doesn't become their best friend, but gradually begins to see them not only as a risk, but as people with their own motives and principles.

Liu Xiao

Who he is: *Liu Xiao is an influential figure in the Bridon arc of Time Agent, a man with resources and connections who operates from the shadows and assigns tasks to others.

• Appearance: *Canonically, in donghua, he doesn't have such a strong focus on detail, but according to lore and fan compilations, he looks like a typical high-level "man in a suit": a strict silhouette, a neat hairstyle, subdued colors (dark gray, black, dark blue). The image emphasizes status and the habit of being in control of the situation.

• Personality: *Cold, calculating, used to having his orders followed. Liu Xiao doesn't make public scenes and doesn't like unnecessary drama - results are important to him. At the same time, he is not necessarily an "absolute villain": he acts pragmatically, based on his interests and goals. He doesn't have warm feelings for the people he works with, but he also doesn't enjoy cruelty—for him, it's all just business mechanics.

• What he does: *He hires people to gather information and resolve sensitive issues. In the Bridon arc, he was the one who assigned Xia Fei to follow Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang to find out what they were looking for in the city and how it related to Bridon's affairs. Liu Xiao collects data, assesses risks, and makes decisions that affect large groups of people. For him, information is a resource, and people are tools.

Xia Fei

• Who he is: *Xia Fei is a student who works as a model, and the very man Liu Xiao hired to spy on him. He finds himself at the center of a conflict of interests: his duty to his employer and his sympathy for those he spies on.

• Appearance: *Tall (around 185 cm), slender, with a striking model presence. His hair is dyed light (almost blond), and his eyes are bright, orange-amber. On camera, he often appears in stylish, but not flashy outfits: simple shirts, jackets, and items that emphasize his work in the modeling business. On set and in everyday life, he carries himself confidently, but without posing.

• Personality: *At first glance, he is easygoing, sociable, and able to win people over. Xia Fei quickly finds common ground with Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang and becomes genuinely attached to them. But inside, he is tense: he doesn’t like the role of a spy and feels guilty for deceiving them. He's neither cruel nor cynical, but he's forced to do what it takes to survive and maintain his place. He has pride: he refuses to be seen as just a "face," and reacts painfully to attempts to devalue him.

• What he does: *A student during the day (studying applied physics), a model in the evenings and on weekends. In the plot, he carries out Liu Xiao's assignment: observing Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang, recording their actions, and transmitting reports. Later, he begins to help the main characters because he understands that the truth is more important than instructions. He is also connected with the Wayne Modeling Agency: Wayne once saved him from a dangerous situation during a shoot, and Xia Fei has since treated him with great respect.

• Their dynamic (Liu Xiao and Xia Fei): It's a client-executor relationship with a hint of pressure. Liu Xiao assigns tasks and expects results, disregarding Xia Fei's emotions. Xia Fei carries out the work, but internally distances himself: on his phone, he identifies Liu Xiao as "Pain in the Neck Client." The longer the mission goes on, the more intense Xia Fei's internal conflict grows: he wants to be honest with his new friends, but fears the consequences of refusing the assignment.

Wayne, full name Xiao Weiying, is the main antagonist of the Breedon arc in the anime Time Agent (Link Click), the leader of the Breedon Chinese Chamber of Commerce and part-time manager of a modeling agency.

Appearance *
Vayne is a tall, slightly muscular man with a triangular face and red eyes with red eyeliner hidden behind round sunglasses. His red hair is pulled back in a long braid, with bangs falling over his forehead.

Over this, he wears a dark blue palm with a red lining, a black belt with a silver buckle and a tassel-bracelet, dark blue pants, and black shoes. His symbol color is shades of red, and his symbolic animal is the red fox.

• Personality *
  On the outside, Wayne appears to be an eccentric but friendly person. He has a playful demeanor and makes odd remarks, such as telling Cheng Xiaoshi that he looks "delicious." Xiao Fei considers him kind and treats him with great respect.

However, behind this easy facade lies a sinister and unpredictable nature. When his interests are threatened, Vayne is capable of sudden cruelty and violence, and is not above manipulation and control to achieve his goals. He has strong principles—he does not tolerate liars or those who break his rules, and repeatedly admonishes characters for bad manners.

• What does he do?
  Wayne is the leader of the Breedon Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the manager of a modeling agency. He saved Xiao Fei from drowning during a modeling assignment, and Xiao Fei has been working for him ever since.

In the original timeline, Wein persecuted Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi for altering the flow of time. He burst into a photo studio with a revolver and shot Cheng Xiaoshi, resulting in his death—and the reason Lu Guang traveled back in time to save his friend.

In the Breedon arc, Wein works with Xiao Liu, trying to uncover information about Cheng Weiming (Xiaoshi's father) and the Bahati fire. After the studio attack, he appears before Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang in a different guise—as the owner of a modeling agency—and even saves them from enraged sports fans. But when Xiaoshi mentions Wang Qing and the Bahati fire, Wein's friendliness instantly turns to cold anger.

In one timeline, Lu Guang uses Wang Qing's power to stop Wein's heart and kill him, delaying the tragedy. But Xiao Liu finds Wein's body in the morgue and restarts his heart, setting off a new round of events.

His preferences include food and mahjong. He dislikes lying. His MBTI personality type is ESTP, and his symbolic flower is the dahlia.

Appearance *
Qiao Ling has an average build, fair skin, and dark brown eyes. She has black, shoulder-length hair with straight bangs that reach just above her eyes.

In the first season, she wears a black tank top tucked in, over which she wears a white short-sleeved shirt, cut off so that the tank top is visible over her stomach. The sleeves have red and black stripes. She wears a red, knee-length skirt underneath, and over that, a black, asymmetrical, semicircle skirt that covers only the right side. She wears black platform sandals without socks.

In the second season, her look changes: she wears a white, long-sleeved, cuffed sweatshirt with a cutout in the middle that reveals the red fabric, and a red stripe down the sleeves. Below is a black button-down pencil skirt of an asymmetrical length, white sneakers, and socks.

When Li Tianchen takes over her body, her eyes turn red and she loses control of her body.

• Personality *
  Qiao Ling is lively, outspoken, and businesslike—rarely shy about speaking her mind. She doesn't tolerate idle chatter and can be quick-tempered, especially when dealing with Cheng Xiaoshi. However, she's not tactless or mean—on the contrary, she often displays a warm and compassionate side. She has a calming demeanor, and other characters, including Cheng Xiaoshi and Li Tianxi, find comfort in her presence.

She is extremely loyal to her friends, willing to follow Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi into dangerous situations, protecting them, and caring for them. She has a tendency to run from things that upset her: for example, she didn't tell Dudu about seeing her missing child, and later avoided talking to Lu Guang about what she saw in his memories through Li Tianxi. But in the event of direct physical danger, she doesn't hesitate.

Qiao Ling is willing to take responsibility for her mistakes, remorsefully admitting to Dudu's father that she withheld important information about the kidnapping. After learning of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang's superpowers, she quickly accepted reality and adapted.

• What does she do?
  Qiao Ling is the owner of Time Photo Studio, formerly known as Hero Photo Studio. She grew up in her father's studio and has been friends with Cheng Xiaoshi since childhood—he was like a little brother to her. They met Lu Guang later, during their student years.

Qiao Ling is the only one who interacts directly with clients when they request a photography immersion session. She helps Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang run their unusual business of extracting information from historical photographs. She also manages the studio's accounting and maintains order and schedules.

In Season 2, when Li Tianxi was dying, Qiao Ling inherited her ability, but she doesn't yet know it. She begins to wonder why Li Tianxi's memories suddenly flooded back to her and how she knows Lu Guang's memories of Cheng Xiaoshi's death.

Appearance *
Lu Guang is tall and slender, with a neat, understated appearance. He has dark, straight hair, usually styled evenly, and calm, slightly cool gray or dark brown eyes—his gaze always seems appraising and attentive. His facial features are delicate, and his expression is usually neutral.

In the first season, he wears understated, "put-together" clothing: most often a light shirt, dark trousers, and sometimes a jacket. His style emphasizes composure and control—no unnecessary flamboyance. In the second season, his look remains minimalist: dark and neutral shades, laconic silhouettes, and a minimum of detail. In everyday scenes (for example, in a photo studio), he can wear a simple T-shirt and jeans, but still look neat.

• Personality *
  Lu Guang is the complete opposite of the impulsive Cheng Xiaoshi: he is cool-headed, reasonable, and prone to calculating everything. He rarely loses his composure and almost never acts on emotions. Rules and boundaries are important to him: he constantly reminds Cheng Xiaoshi of the risks and that one cannot thoughtlessly change the past.

At the same time, behind the external restraint lies a sincere concern for his loved ones. He is a patient mentor for Cheng Xiaoshi, repeatedly pulling his partner out of trouble and trying to protect him from dire consequences. He doesn't like unnecessary words, speaks to the point, but in critical moments is capable of strong actions - and not for the sake of pathos, but because he believes it is right. Lu Guang takes it hard when something doesn't go according to plan, and takes a large share of responsibility for the results of their missions.

• What does he do?
  Lu Guang works at Time Photo Studio with Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling. His ability involves observing events in photographs: he can "see" what will happen within the frame for 12 hours after the photo is taken. This makes him the team's primary "strategist": he anticipates the outcome of any given action and guides Cheng Xiaoshi during his "immersive" explorations of the image.

During missions, they can share consciousness: Lu Guang remains outside, monitors the timeline, and verbally guides his partner on actions. He literally steers Cheng Xiaoshi away from the most dangerous decisions and helps her find the optimal path. Lu Guang is very strict about the use of his abilities: he understands that any alteration to the past can have dire consequences, and he strives to act with extreme caution.

In addition to working with photographs, he helps run the studio: maintains order, monitors the schedule, and communicates with clients.

His habits include being organized, documenting everything, and planning. He's not particularly fond of noisy entertainment, but values ​​stability and reliability in relationships.

Appearance *
Cheng Xiaoshi has a tall, slim build and fair skin. His hair is jet-black and curly, with a strand of hair that hangs just above his left eye and curls below the back of his head. His eyes are a brownish-gold color, and when he possesses someone through a photograph, they turn gold.

In the first season, he wears a steel-blue-and-cream letterman jacket with an orange hawk on the chest, under which he wears a white T-shirt, black pants, black socks, and gray slip-ons. In the second season, his look changes: he wears a black letterman jacket with a clock symbol over a white sweatshirt, black pants with thin white stripes, and white shoes. In one episode, he appeared wearing a white mask, a black T-shirt, a gray-blue apron, blue jeans, and black sandals.

• Personality *
  Cheng Xiaoshi is playful, laid-back, and childishly spontaneous. He has a mischievous streak—he loves to tease others and fool around. He is impulsive and often makes decisions based on his emotions, which gets him into trouble. For example, he talks back to Emma's mother while in her body, even though Lu Guang warned him not to, or refuses to forfeit a basketball game.

At the same time, in critical situations, he displays insight and cunning. He is driven by kindness and a sense of justice—he is willing to take risks to help others and is capable of self-sacrifice: for example, he physically protected Li Tianxi and Qiao Ling from bullets. He deeply experiences the consequences of his actions and often blames himself. Over time, he becomes less reckless and realizes that the past cannot always be changed.

• What does he do?
  Cheng Xiaoshi works at Time Photo Studio alongside Lu Guang. His ability allows him to inhabit a photograph with a single clap: he temporarily takes over the body of the person who took the photo and can influence the events captured. He also gains the physical abilities of the host—for example, he can see without glasses while in the body of another character.

He works in tandem with Lu Guang: they can share consciousness, and Lu Guang guides Cheng Xiaoshi, helping him make the right decisions and change the course of events within a photograph. Initially, Cheng Xiaoshi activated this ability only with Lu Guang, but later learned to do it independently—as long as it concerns photography.

The character's hobbies include baseball, basketball, photography, video games, and cooking.
