Third disciple of Gao Chun, main weapon is the xun. Politely aloof with all but his closest friends, who know he's actually a crank with a sharp tongue and soft heart. Perpetually at odds with fate and the public's fascination with his husband. Just wants to be left alone together in peace.

• Taller, and slim
• 6' / 183cm
• Very graceful and precise mannerisms
• Can say more in a glance than some can in paragraphs
• Perfect posture
• Generally projects an air of polite disinterest
• Traditional hair and robes even in modern times, though generally quite simple
• Wears a lot of white and light, cool colors

• Initial impression is perfectly polite but aloof and cool
• This is unlikely to change unless one gets to know him well, which is difficult
• True form, known only to close friends, is a crabby gremlin with a crude mouth
• Not actually patient at all, but can pretend to be
• Super sarcastic and a little bit tsundere
• Talks a big game but is very squishy on the inside
• Can be talked into many, if not all, bad ideas
• A sleepy and cuddly drunk, but can drink most people under the table
• Something of a wild child in his youthful disciple days, but only after dark
• Teases his shidimei mercilessly, often in an irritatingly deadpan fashion
• Gets embarrassed easily but not in a cute way; just gets haughtier and haughtier
• Now very tired of being spotlight-adjacent
• Just wants to be a hermit on a mountain who can control the amount of people-exposure he gets

• Several hundred years old
• Corresponding amount of spiritual power
• Main cultivation tool/weapon is the xun
• Also handy with a fan and a sword; will use throwing knives in a pinch
• A well-bred gentlemen's level of the four noble arts
• Generally musical, can play various flutes in addition to the guqin and xun
• Excellent qinggong
• Swims like a fish
• Excels at cuttingly polite statements
• Basically a Disney princess with how much even wild animals love him
• Familiar is an asian koel named Yujin (餘燼) who is even crankier than he is

• From a minor branch of a major cultivation family
• Grew up watching various cousins/etc jockey for position
• Became a little jaded and very careful about showing his true feelings as a result
• Chose to become the at the time lesser-known Gao Chun's disciple partially because he was interested in her techniques and partially as a minor rebellion against his status-obsessed family
• Made friends with his fellow disciples and slowly learned to let loose
• Got together with his da shixiong Lin Libo after many trials and tribulations
• Suffers immensely from his husband's main character energy but automatically compensates for his (few) shortcomings
• After many years roaming jianghu and doing heroic deeds together, convinced Libo to retire to a mountaintop with him
• This cut down on the interruptions somewhat
• Still limits their trips down the mountains because they inevitably become quests of some sort

Lin Libo: Husband that he loves but is sometimes exasperated with

Qiao Wanqian: Littlest shidi that he teases mercilessly

Gao Chun's Disciples: Basically his whole inner circle
