Mu Canglan

Son of a big hero and a lady of a reclusive sect of secret-keepers and archivists, both of whom were betrayed by those closest to them. Gained a powerful technique in his childhood allowing him to see and rewind possible futures at a great cost to his health. Got his revenge but a personal loss spurred him to take on a new identity as “Mu Canghong”, a travelling bard.

• First or second jianghu beauty
• Wavy hair
• Wears red or pink
• Flimsy veil covering his nose and mouth
• Above average height, willowy, not muscular
• Carries a pipa with him everywhere

• Lying liar who lies flippantly
• It's all about the low self-esteem babee
• CONCEAL DON'T FEEL

• Extremely fast reflexes and qinggong, really good at getting the hell out of dodge
• Can see possible futures/outcomes, slow-mo mode with his eyes (technique called Xianzhishenyan)

• Raised on the road following his parents around
• Until his mother's sect, Yueyin Gong, was massacred by his shishu and his dad (and mother by extension) was framed, oops!
• Yueyin Gong famously safeguarded forbidden and obscure manuals and techniques
• Mom gave him a manual and told him to practice it when he was older and take revenge, making sure he would never be betrayed the way she was, and then she died to join her husband because wuxia be like that
• Was supposed to go to his paternal aunt, a noblewoman who could keep him safe, but ended up getting lost and destitute
• A wandering daozhang, Cihong Sanren, took pity on him and took him as her student
• Against shifu and mom's wishes he wanted to take revenge as soon as possible so decided to use the manual that was passed down to him, successfully gaining the Xianzhishenyan, but imperfectly, dooming him to a short life and restricted neili
• Took down his shishu and cleared his parents name as a teen, meeting Qin Yuzhu along the way
• Cihong Sanren would eventually give up her immortality and sacrifice herself in an attempt to bring down their enemies once and for all, her neili transferring to him and giving him the chance to live a normal life
• Took the name Canghong as a tribute (though some people think it's a joke) and withdrew from jianghu, opting to live freely like his shifu wanted for him, carrying the secrets of his mother's sect with him, dodging people who are still pursuing said secrets along the way

• Helan Min: Cute little fool who he begrudgingly comes to adore
• Qin Yuzhu: First love, wants better for him
• Murong Xue: Annoying palace dog who wants him to restore Yueyin Palace or something
