Xu Feng (许风)
Xu Feng is the protagonist of the story. He and his older brother got separated when they were children and he was adopted by a righteous martial arts sect. The first time he leaves the mountain to explore the jianghu, he saves a stranger from the demonic sect leader He Tingzhou. He Tingzhou cripples his right hand for foiling his plans and takes him to Jile Palace, where he has to serve him as his concubine.Xu Feng always wanted to be like the martial arts heroes he read about in huaben novels—righteous, upholding principles, and treating death as something casual. Not even the things that happened in Jile Palace can change that. But now he has a new goal as well: Kill He Tingzhou, the man who caused him so much suffering.
He Tingzhou (贺汀州)

He's known to be cruel and lecherous, never able to say no to a beauty he likes.Yet, he has a soft spot: his younger brother, who he once carried on his own back as they fled their home, who he doted upon and sang to when they were children. Even after 18 years, he never stopped looking for him.When he discovers Xu Feng's true identity, he couldn't be more regretful about the things he did to him. He lets Xu Feng escape and follows him in disguise as a man named Zhou Yan and even starts teaching him martial arts—so he can kill his biggest enemy one day.
Zhou Yan (周衍)
Zhou Yan is the fake identity He Tingzhou assumes to get close to Xu Feng. He spares neither expense nor effort for him, like when he risks his life to obtain a valuable sword. Although he's much less attractive as Zhou Yan than he is in his true form, he thinks highly of his appearance and only wears the nicest clothes. Whenever Xu Feng has something on his mind, Zhou Yan tries to make him happy by going out with him or giving him candy.When he first meets Xu Feng, he tells him that he has a younger brother he got separated from and thinks about finding him every single day.
Murong Fei (慕容飞)

He has a fiery temperament and often gets himself into trouble.
Liu Yue (柳月)
