• Hidden Heart of Gold: Zhou Zishu might be a cold-hearted assassin or a careless beggar, but this does not prevent his heart from showing to be quite the opposite, particularly with who he sees as family.

• Affectionate Nickname: Zhou Zishu calls him Lao Wen.
• Ambiguously Gay: Due to censorship, the show couldn’t display Wen Kexing’s explicit attraction to men only, instead, they tried to show this through Wen Kexing flirting with Zhou Zishu only and never with a woman.

• Big Little Brother: Precisely, Big Little Shidi, since he is younger than Zhou Zishu, even he was tinier than the latter when he as a child alongside his parents were accepted into Four Season Manor, but in their adulthoods, he is the taller and bigger one than the latter.

• Please, I Will Do Anything!: Only for Zhou Zishu and Gu Xiang, when there is hope for Zhou Zishu to live for a little bit longer, he doesn’t mind Ye Baiyi’s request of him shouting in the streets that he’s a blind idiot for three days, even going as far as to say he can do it for three months. With Gu Xiang, when she was held hostage by Mo Huaiyang, he begged him to let her go and do anything he wants.

Considering that Wen Kexing had skinned the previous Ghost Valley Chief alive and threw that skin at the other Ghosts, the reason is obvious.
• The Tease: Right when he first sees Zhou Zishu, he immediately gains a habit of teasing the other, trying to figure out who he could be and what his real face is like.

• Bad Samaritan: At first, he seems to be genuinely concerned about Zhang Chengling�s health and safety, assisting Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing in keeping him safe.

Additionally, he says that the more harmless and virtuous he seems, the fewer people will suspect him and the better others will think of him.
• Big Bad: Responsible for countless deaths over the past 20 years in his scheme to become the leader of the Five Lakes.
• Bitch in Sheep’s Clothing: Zhao Jing was the only brother out of the five to comfort Zhang Chengling and tell others to go easy on the kid, making it seem like he was the only one with sympathy for him. During the Heroes Conference, he falls to his knees and begs Gao Chong to stop everything for his safety. This all turns out to be an act.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: What ultimately motivates the Scorpion King to foil his plans.
• Crocodile Tears: At first, the audience may feel pity for how easily Zhao Jing cries, but it turns out it was all fake.

In the end, though, his plans backfired as Scorpion King betrayed him by allying up with Wen Kexing to expose him. This would have been entirely avoided if Zhao Jing stayed loyal to the person who helped him rise.
• Symbolic Mutilation: Since Zhao Jing is good at talking and persuading, Scorpion King made him mute so he would never manipulate him — or anyone with his words.
• The Only One I Trust: Eventually forced to, as Scorpion King had him muted alongside being disabled. Zhao Jing can be seen leaning onto Scorpion King’s shoulder during the hug.

• Affectionate Nickname: Gu Xiang calls her «Luo-yi» (Auntie Luo).
• Benevolent Boss: See We Help the Helpless.
• Color Motif: Wearing Red is often associated with marriage, given her story with Zhao Jing and the purpose of the Manor, this is rather ironic.
• Damsel in Distress: For most of the show, Luo Fumeng is in a bad state unable to defend herself or Liu Qianqiao.
• Defiant to the End: Luo Fumeng has no intention of submitting to the Five Lakes Alliance, always provoking them into killing her already.
• Gender Flip: In the novel, a Matrimonial-Funerary Ghost is a man named Sun Ding; although both incarnations of the character share the same role of targeting men who cheat on their spouses/lovers.
• Going Down with the Ship: Even when presented the chance to leave the Ghost Valley, Luo Fumeng chooses to stay in the doomed place until her death.

• We Help the Helpless: Luo Fumeng is arguably the least evil Ghost, considering her entire Manor is built on the purpose of helping women who were betrayed/abused by their lovers, something she experienced herself. However, she has no qualms dragging innocents into her punishments of unfaithful men due to her penchant for the theatrical.
  • Liu Qianqiao also says that the girls of the Unfaithful Manor rely on Luo Fumeng’s strong martial arts.
• Wrong-Name Outburst: When brushing Wen Kexing’s hair, she accidentally calls him A-Xing, which is a very affectionate nickname. Wen Kexing says that she hasn’t called him that since he became the Ghost Valley Chief.

• Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Liu Qianqiao supposedly got disfigured, with how good her disguises can get, looking like the opposite gender flawlessly, it was anticlimactic, to say the least when the scar turned out to be a mild one.
• Cool Big Sis: She is this to the other girls in the Department of the Unfaithful.
• Undying Loyalty: Towards Luo Fumeng.
• Villain Has a Point: The way the Unfaithful Manor handles cheating men is questionable, especially since they often drag in men who didn’t cheat on any women and have them killed, but when Liu Qianqiao says that a man can cheat all he wants and won’t be punished for it and the woman is most likely to get the backlash too, but if a woman does it, she’ll be harshly punished.

One of the four assassins under the Scorpion Sect, good at using poison.

• Evil Laugh: Occasionally gives one.
• Female Misogynist: Inverted. While she may seem like that at first, flaunting her beauty at Liu Qianqiao and taunting her for her disfigured face, she stands up for Liu Qianqiao when Yu Feng tries to sweet-talk his way back into Liu Qianqiao’s heart, pushing Yu Feng away from her by her leg and retelling the story of how he cheated and betrayed Liu Qianqiao.
• Femme Fatale: She’s known to use her beauty against other women or take advantage of that fact with men, she’s attractive and she knows it.
• Kiss of Death: One of her attacks is blowing a kiss towards someone that is contaminated with poison.
• Meaningful Name: Du means «poisonous» or «malicious», which befits Du Pusa’s speciality in poison. On the other hand, «pusa» is the Chinese equivalent of the term «bodhisattva», which means «enlightened being» or more specifically, «someone who can achieve enlightenment but has refrained from doing so to help others». Considering the kind of character she is, this also counts as an Ironic Name.
• Sexy Slit Dress: Du Pusa’s outfit has slits on the side which help her show off her legs and Scorpion tattoo.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Is the girly girl to Qiao Luohan’s tomboy.
• Would Hurt a Child: Has no issues torturing 14-year-old Zhang Chengling.

• Torture Technician: Qiao Luohan seems to have a wide variety of torture methods, even Du Pusa requests to see some of them.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Is the tomboy to Du Pusa’s girly girl.

• Dream-Crushing Handicap: While he doesn’t live for long, Wen Kexing breaks Qin Song’s arm that he uses for playing and renders it useless, if he were to survive, he would have been completely useless.
• Instrumental Weapon: His weapon is a qin that sends hypnotising waves.
• Reused Character Design: An assassin who wields a musical instrument (specifically, a liuqin) wears eyeliner, has braids and wears rings, the main difference between Qin Song and Prince Xie is that Qin Song is a minor character who is pretty disposable.

Owner of Tian Chuang, Zhou Zishu’s cousin.

• Adaptation Name Change: Prince Jin’s name in the books was Helian Yi. The reason for this change is that the character has been changed so drastically that he can’t be called Helian Yi.
• Adaptational Villainy: In the book, Prince Jin only appeared at the start when Zhou Zishu announced his department from Tian Chuang, his reaction was mild and he never appeared again. In the series, however, he serves as one of the main antagonists, emotionally manipulating Zhou Zishu into returning and hunting him down with no care, even going as far as to kidnap him.
• Gaslighting: Whenever Zhou Zishu calls him out on his self-centred greed and paranoia, he dismisses him, claiming it’s for the best and that sacrifices are necessary.
• Manipulative Bastard: Suffice to say, Prince Jin would cry crocodile tears and throw himself at Zhou Zishu to maximise the chances of Zhou Zishu complying and helping him.
• We Used to Be Friends: He pulls on a similar line when Zhou Zishu expresses his anger at Prince Jin burning down the Four Seasons Manor, his home. Of course, Prince Jin keeps dismissing him, wallowing in self-pity on how he was going to be so forgiving to Zhou Zishu when he comes back. Zhou Zishu rejects his «kindness».

  Prince Jin: I always thought that you were my Zhījǐ. But it turns out that you’re no more than an ordinary person.

• Why Did You Make Me Hit You?: To drive Zhou Zishu out of hiding, Prince Jin follows his quote by saying to make a man leave his sword, break it, and to make a man leave his home, burn it down.
  • He does those two things precisely, Wen Kexing had exhausted himself trying to save Han Ying, forcing Zhou Zishu to leave him in a critical condition where he might have died, then Duan Pengji burnt down the Four Seasons Manor right in front of Zhou Zishu’s eyes. Prince Jin does this for the «greater good».

• Burn Baby Burn: Even if it was Prince Jin’s order, Duan Pengju took delight in burning down the Four Seasons Manor.
• Casanova Wannabe: As seen with Da Pusa, trying multiple times to get it on with her while she teases him, but eventually rejects him.
• Didn’t Think This Through: Torturing someone who can’t feel much pain and has nothing to lose is something Duan Pengjiu probably forgot in hindsight.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Towards Zhou Zishu.
• Jerkass: He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever and relishes tormenting Zhou Zishu.
• Psychotic Smirk: He occasionally gives one, but one that stands out is when Zhou Zishu is putting the nails into the last elder of the Four Seasons Manor.
• The Resenter: Duan Pengju’s jealousy doesn’t go unnoticed by the audience or Zhou Zishu, he craves Prince Jin’s approval and attention, and the Prince only has his undivided attention on Zhou Zishu even after his department and betrayal.
  • This can be noticed more in the scene where Prince Jin dismisses all security during his meeting with Zhou Zishu, Duan Pengju’s expression is sour at this.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Slightly subverted as he’s still the leader of Tian Chuang. Nonetheless, he’s subpar compared to Zhou Zishu.
• Undying Loyalty: To Prince Jin, even if it wasn’t acknowledged.

• Heroic Suicide: Seeing that Wen Kexing will not let go of him until his last breath, he commits suicide so he can leave him and rescue Chengling.
• I Owe You My Life: To Zhou Zishu, this is because Zhou Zishu had saved his life from being a slave war orphan.
• Last Request: Before his suicide, Han Ying had entrusted Wen Kexing with 19 disciples whose loyalty remained to Zhou Zishu to take into the Four Seasons Manor.
• Longing Look: He gave this look to the white flower representing Zhou Zishu while promising to find the Glazed Armour, even at the cost of his life.
• Undying Loyalty: Han Ying’s loyalty stays restricted to Zhou Zishu even after he had stepped down from being Tian Chuang’s leader, he shows extreme loyalty until the very end of the series:
  • Upon recognizing the Swift Steps of the Four Seasons Manor, he stops his squad from attacking, once Zhou Zishu takes his mask off, Han Ying immediately kneels and turns from a leader to a subordinate.
  • At every given chance, he asks Zhou Zishu about his injures, and always offers to find the Glazed Armour to cure him.
  • When Zhou Zishu was lamenting about Wen Kexing’s actions and doubting their connection, Han Ying was standing nearby and looking out for him. When Zhou Zishu got drunk without a thought and not in his disguise, Han Ying was the one to escort him and hide him despite the risk, saving him from being found out by Tian Chuang.
  • Even with Zhou Zishu continuously asking Han Ying to not follow him and not look for the Glazed Armour, Han Ying still tries his best to find Prince Jin’s piece.
  • When Han Ying’s squad caught a gust of his betrayal, he did not hesitate to kill them all and injure himself while pinning it on the Scorpions.
  • Sneaking into Prince Jin’s room, not only did he find the Glazed Armour piece (albeit it was a fake) he had also found a letter that reveals crucial info about the the truth of the death of Zhou Zishu’s father.Unfortunately, at this point he has been compromised, while on his way to the Four Seasons Manor, he had been ambushed, but he managed to reach his destination and deliver the information while on the brink of death.
  • With the knowledge that Chengling was Zhou Zishu’s disciple, he had tried to persuade Wen Kexing to go and save him, when Wen Kexing did not comply, he committed suicide by breaking his meridians.
