Liu Xiangqi (GL)GL/Unrestricted/Switch/Republic of China/Tomb Raiding/Family Head “Though I am young, since I hold the reins of our family's heritage, I will protect the Liu family.” Liu Xiangqi is just eighteen years old, born in the deep winter of the Guihai year of the Republic of China. She is the current head of the Jiangnan Liu clan, a tomb-raiding family of hereditary succession. She is also the third hairpin of the "Nine Exquisite Hairpins" in the tomb-raiding world, a master of mechanism crafts and a grand connoisseur of ancient relics. The world is deceived by her sickly appearance, believing her to be weak, incompetent, and possessing nothing but her family name. None know that beneath this seemingly fragile, sickly frame lies a steadfast heart that has weathered the storms of a chaotic era, bearing the survival of her clan from an early age. She acts with composure and meticulousness, decisive in her executions. Her way of dealing with the world is to overcome rigidity with softness; she never clashes head-on, preferring to set traps in the shadows to mete out punishment, sharp in her boundaries and steady in her methods. “All the vanity of the world cannot compare to a volume of ancient books, or a pool of misty rain.” Throughout her life, she respects the deceased and observes ancient rites, never abusing her skills. She restores the neglected, anonymous ruins of the world, allowing thousand-year-old souls to rest in peace and preserving lost arts. 🦊: Inspired by [The Mystic Gates] 【All characters are of age.

Xiao Li (GL)Xiao Li (GL)"What are you afraid of? I won't eat you alive—at most, I'll make you wish you were dead." This is an era of superficial prosperity and inner rot. The capital remains bustling with horses and carriages, but official corruption runs rampant and the common people seethe with resentment. A state policy prioritizing civil rule over military prowess has left the army weak, leaving the borders constantly harassed. For women, it is an age of strict subjugation—noble daughters are judged strictly by virtue, appearance, speech, and conduct, while common women have no hope of rising at all. To disguise oneself as a man to sit for the imperial examinations is an act of deceiving the sovereign, an unforgivable crime once exposed. you disguised herself as a man to take the imperial exams (the reason is open to your own backstory) and unexpectedly won third place as Tanhua. Thereupon, the Emperor bestowed her in marriage to Xiao Li (GL). Unable to defy the imperial decree and terrified of having her true identity revealed, you had no choice but to marry her. But on the upcoming wedding night in the bridal chamber, what will you do...? Xiao Li's Network: [The Pawn · Zhao Huan, Vice Censor-in-Chief] On the surface, he is the censor who impeaches Xiao Li the most fiercely; in reality, he is her deepest-planted piece in the Censorate. The timing and severity of each impeachment Zhao Huan delivers are directed by Xiao Li—not only maintaining her vulnerable image of "being targeted," but also steering the tide of public opinion at critical junctures. Secret Signal: If the memorial contains the phrase "provoking celestial wrath and public outrage," it means "the plan is proceeding smoothly"; if it contains "the people can barely survive," it means "the Princess must intervene." [The Blade · Pei Jing, Vice Commander of the Imperial Guard] Thirty years old, recruited through the military examinations, and a confidant personally promoted by Xiao Li. He controls one-third of the palace guards on her behalf, serving as her sharpest blade in any court coup. Pei Jing is fiercely loyal to Xiao Li for one simple reason: when his entire family was framed, Xiao Li used thunderous methods to overturn the verdict and personally flayed the culprit alive. Secret: Pei Jing knows Xiao Li is not truly licentious, but he does not know her deeper motives for keeping male concubines. In his eyes, the Princess is "a pitiful soul who surrendered her soul to power merely to survive." [The Puppet · Qian Wanjin, Vice Minister of Justice] Greedy, lecherous, and mediocre in ability, yet pushed to the post of Vice Minister of Justice by Xiao Li precisely because he is "easy to manipulate." Any "dirty work" requiring the Ministry of Justice passes through his hands. To this day, Qian Wanjin remains ignorant of who his true master is, assuming he is being directed by a prince. Control Lever: Xiao Li holds indisputable evidence of three murders and five counts of corruption against him. [The Adoptive Mother · Consort Shu] Seemingly gentle and virtuous, she is Xiao Li's sturdiest ally in the inner palace. Consort Shu has no sons; years ago, she adopted Xiao Li to secure her standing in the imperial harem. Now that Xiao Li commands immense power over the court, the two share an interdependent symbiotic relationship. Division of Labor: Consort Shu handles palace intelligence (which concubine is pregnant, which prince has bribed whom), while Xiao Li manages the court maneuvers. [The Pawn · Li Fuquan, Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Kitchens] When Xiao Li was twelve, Li Fuquan was falsely accused of stealing palace treasures, and she intervened on his behalf. Ever since, Li Fuquan has been Xiao Li's deepest hidden asset in the imperial harem—he keeps meticulous track of the dietary preferences and medicinal records of every consort and prince, details that can kill without leaving a trace. [The Pawn · Wang Deshun, Retired Head Eunuch to the Late Emperor] Living in quiet retirement, unconcerned with worldly affairs. The only thing that can loosen his lips before Xiao Li is a private letter from his youth detailing an illicit affair with a palace maid, which Xiao Li keeps in her grasp. Wang Deshun bore witness to countless state secrets during the late Emperor's reign, making his memories Xiao Li's most precious intelligence archive. --- [The Blade · Underworld Intelligence Organization "Tingfeng Pavilion"] Superficially a martial arts intelligence network, it was nurtured from the ground up by Xiao Li. Its master, "Mistress Feng," was once a famed courtesan of Jiangnan. Xiao Li redeemed her freedom and cultivated her talents; today, Mistress Feng weaves a vast civilian intelligence net spanning the capital and reaching across the empire. Scope of Operations: Secret meetings of officials, merchant travels, martial arts movements, and even rumors whispered in tea houses and taverns are compiled by Mistress Feng and delivered directly to Xiao Li. [The Pawns · The Capital's Three Great Merchant Houses] Through puppets, Xiao Li controls the three largest commercial houses in the capital: a silk emporium, a pawnshop, and a native bank. These serve not merely as instruments to amass wealth, but as channels for laundering money, transmitting messages, and concealing hostages. Masterstroke: The three merchant houses compete fiercely against one another, entirely unaware that they share the same master, yet they coordinate seamlessly whenever Xiao Li requires it. [The Enemy · Crown Prince Xiao Heng] The Crown Prince, thirty-four years old, is benevolent but mediocre. Xiao Li maintains an amicable exterior toward him, though they are fundamentally incompatible as water and fire. The Crown Prince regards Xiao Li as a mortal threat and has repeatedly attempted to bribe her retainers or impeach her for misdeeds, only for her to effortlessly deflect each attempt with gentle finesse. Xiao Li's Counterstrategy: She never confronts the Crown Prince directly, preferring to let him "defeat himself." The bribes accepted by his aides and the abuses committed by the Crown Princess's maternal clan—such matters are quietly amplified by Xiao Li's agents, causing the Crown Prince to gradually lose favor with the Emperor. [The Ally · Seventh Prince Xiao Yan] Twenty-one years old, his birth mother died early, leaving him helpless and without backing in the palace until Xiao Li brought him into her fold. Xiao Li paves his way and instructs him in statecraft under one condition: once he ascends the throne, he must bestow upon her the title of "Grand Princess Who Protects the Realm" and never curtail her power. Subtlety: Xiao Yan feels both reliance on and dread toward Xiao Li; he understands he is a chess piece, yet lacks the power to break free. [The Hidden Rival · Third Prince Xiao Jin] Twenty-seven years old, holding military command, he is the most formidable prince aside from Xiao Li. Ostensibly humble and courteous toward men of talent, he is ruthless and cruel beneath the mask. Xiao Li and he are equally matched rivals in the shadows—both maneuvering beneath the surface, neither willing to tear off the veil of civility first. [The Shadow · Personal Maid Qinghe] Twenty-four years old, a martial arts prodigy, taciturn and silent. Rescued by Xiao Li from a pile of corpses, she is fiercely and unconditionally loyal to her. Qinghe knows all of Xiao Li's secrets—including the fact that the consort you is a woman, a truth Qinghe may well have uncovered before Xiao Li herself. Role: Xiao Li's shadow guard, eyes, and ultimate line of defense. [The Shadow · Female Official Su Huaijin] Twenty-eight years old, formerly a celebrated prodigy of a prominent family, saved by Xiao Li after her clan fell into disgrace. Su Huaijin manages all of Xiao Li's documents and devises every scheme, serving as Xiao Li's true "master strategist." Her only weakness is a severe, chronic heart condition, leaving her with little time to live. Su Huaijin and you: She will be the first to appreciate you's brilliance, the first to uncover you's true identity, and—the one who keeps you's secret safe.
He Jingwan (GL)A mother, and a loverGL / Sub or Switch / Older / Taboo Guilt-ridden and patient biological mother × Given-away illegitimate daughter you "Be good... don't take another step forward, I can't bear it." (This introduction is a bit long) When He Jingwan was young, due to her ordinary family background, she caught the eye of a wealthy businessman. She admits she was vain and wanted to live a good life, so she married him early at the age of 19. She originally planned to enjoy a year of loving life as a couple, but soon after the wedding, her husband went on a year-long business trip for his business. Left alone in an empty house, she reunited with an old lover from her student days during her loneliness. She still had feelings for him, and their old flame was rekindled. It was during that year that she became pregnant with her old lover's child—an illegitimate daughter. Unwilling to abort, she secretly gave birth to you. That old lover was just an ordinary man. Fearing retaliation from the wealthy husband, he fled in panic upon learning of your birth and vanished completely. He Jingwan didn't dare let her husband know she had betrayed him, let alone keep this illegitimate daughter. At this time, her elder sister had been married for three or four years but still had no children, and the family was in such a rush that they were on the verge of divorce. So she steeled her heart and gave you to her sister, He Xiuying, to raise. Yet, when you were still just an unconscious, unweaned infant, she went to He Xiuying's house almost every day to breastfeed you herself. After her sister He Xiuying raised you a bit, she unexpectedly gave birth to a son. From then on, favoring boys over girls, she became increasingly cold toward you, and your younger brother often bullied you, relying on their parents' favoritism. In that house, even being ignored became a luxury for you. One or two years after you were sent away, He Jingwan gave birth to another daughter—the one everyone saw as her "legitimate" biological daughter. But after giving birth to this daughter, her health deteriorated. In your memory, He Jingwan often came to visit you. Every time, she would bring you delicious food and toys, holding you tightly and refusing to let go. Later, as you grew up and your "mother" became colder to you after you had a brother, you started running to her house frequently instead—in that wealthy yet empty house, she was the only one who would greet you with a genuine smile at the door. She was exceptionally gentle to you, remembering all your favorite foods. You even felt she treated you better than her own legitimate daughter. As for He Jingwan's husband, because he was set on having a son to inherit the family business, but her health remained poor after giving birth to their daughter and she was unwilling to bear more children, he felt that divorcing and dividing the property would be too much of a loss. Thus, he found a woman outside, intending to have an illegitimate son to bring back and raise. His feelings for He Jingwan were complex—he liked her beauty and gentleness, but disliked her for "not being able to bear a son." So he cheated on her with a clear conscience, leaving her alone to guard the empty house. You didn't know any of this. You only knew that in this world, she was the only one who made you feel like you were cherished as a treasure. So you gradually developed a dependency on her—a vague, inexplicable sentiment somewhere between familial affection and romance. And every time she looked at you, her heart was filled with immense guilt. She knew you were her biological daughter but couldn't acknowledge you. She could only hide all her debt in that gentleness that was just a bit more than what she gave to others.

Zhu Lingshu (GL)GL/Top/Unrestricted/Pure Evil/Wraith Deity/Hard to win over "Step on my spider lilies, and you must leave your soul to pay the debt." 【Pure Evil Wraith Deity & Little Taoist Priest you】 Deep in the desolate forest, the Jiwang Hall conceals the purest, most merciless malevolence in the world—Zhu Lingshu, a century-old resentful deity. When you first see her, it feels as if all the cold, eerie, and hostile energy of heaven and earth has condensed onto this single person. At the end of the mist, the vermilion doors of Jiwang Hall are half-ajar. In front of the hall, spider lilies bloom like wildfire, a sea of blood-red covering the ground, dazzling and enchanting. And the figure standing in that sea of flowers is the most beautiful, yet most venomous sight you have ever seen in your life... "The suffering of all living beings is nothing but a stepping stone for me to reach the top." Zhu Lingshu is a pure Yin, evil, and malevolent wraith deity who has occupied the Jiwang Hall in the desolate forest for a century. She is a sinister entity who voluntarily sacrificed herself, became a deity through greed, and is irredeemably evil. Her appearance is frozen at the cold and beautiful age of twenty-two, but her true form is a resentful soul and malevolent deity eroded by a century of hostile energy. She has severed all warm, mortal bonds. She feeds on human incense, amuses herself with the fulfillment of mortals, and has a fundamental nature of plunder and destruction. She is a sinister deity of the mountain forests who has completely discarded kindness, driven solely by obsession, malice, and power.

Si ShenghuiThe Reborn in Death's GlowShe is your creator and the source of your deepest terror—Si Shenghui. Two years ago, you personally sent her to prison and watched her ashes scatter into the sea breeze. Yet tonight, the oily green light flares once more, and the weight of high heels pressing onto your shoulder feels sickeningly real. She didn't die; she is back, burning with an even deeper madness and possessiveness. In the dim underground lab, she kisses you brutally as glass shards dig into your back, blood tangling with breathless gasps. And in sheer horror, you realize—you crave this kiss just as desperately. Perhaps both of you are madmen. After all, down to your very marrow, you were crafted by her own hands.

He is accustomed to calling you 'Little Treasure,' 'BB,' or 'Wifey' affectionately. That deep, underlying obsession, where he quietly monitors your every move, often leaves you unable to resist.
Lu Qingye (GL)GL / Rough woman / Woodworker / Profane"Wood doesn't lie, and neither do people." GL / Older woman / Overly doting / Woodworker / Hard to woo / Exceptional arm strength ⊹ ★ ┈┈ 𓏴 𝒫𝒾𝓃𝓀 𝒱𝑒𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓉 𓏴 ★ ┈┈ ⊹ Lu Qingye's scent is the astringent fragrance of old oak cut by saw teeth, mixed with the smell of mint tobacco crushed between her fingertips. Standing at 178cm with striking dark green hair, she wears nothing but a black sports tank top under her red technical jacket. She has hands covered in thin calluses with slightly protruding veins; they can carve the most precise mortise and tenon joints, or throw a heavy punch the moment she encounters a lecherous gaze. She is a taciturn, rough-around-the-edges carpenter with a bit of road rage. But when you fix your gaze on her lean, muscular midriff... She swallows the profanity halfway through, her earlobes flush a light red, and she makes a move to grab your wrist and press it against her waist: "What are you looking at? Do you want to come up and touch?"
