History Characters / TenMilesOfPeachBlossoms

* TheUnfavorite: As a result of his parents offending his grandfather, Yuan Zhen is not a favourite of his grandfather.

* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: Ye Hua's childhood was... [[SarcasmMode less than ideal]. He was kept from his mother, made to study constantly and given praise that was tinged with warnings and expectations. However, when it comes to his own son, it is clear that he gives A'Li unconditional attention and love, and does not weigh the boy down with expectations.

* BumblingDad: Yang Cuo basically comes across as this to Ye Hua. At best, he's just a stand in for the Emperor, who acts much more like he's Ye Hua's father than Yang Cuo is. Doesn't help that he is more or less his father's YesMan. It's telling that Ye Hua never much acknowledges his father save to for polite custom, and he confides in his uncle Lian Song.

* Hypocrite: Of the NeverMyFault variety. She lays into Bai Qian after [[spoiler: Ye Hua's death]], saying that Ye Hua was the one always getting hurt for her and Bai Qian/Su Su never did anything for him. Whilst she may not be aware of how the two actually met, she never takes into account that she and the rest of Ye Hua's family (save Lian Song) treated Su Su like dirt and some were actively trying to ''kill her'', and this was actually the reason Ye Hua suffered, not anything Su Su did. Nor does she understand that the thing Bai Qian did for Ye Hua was love him unconditionally and make him happy, which is something Le Xu actually wanted for him.

* Can'tHoldHisLiquor: A'Li is a child mind you, but he passes out from two sips of fruit wine and is asleep for about a day. According to Nai Nai, he is a light weight, like Ye Hua, whereas Bai Qian has an extremely high tolerance which she's possessed since childhood.

** Gets drunk again when she believes that Ye Hua sees her as a replacement for Su Su.
** Spends a week on a bender after remembering she is Su Su and questioning if Ye Hua's love is, or ever was, real in any way.

* DrowningMySorrows: She gets drunk after she catches Li Jing cheating on her.

* ThinkNothingOfIt: Ye Hua tries to do this to Bai Qian when claiming that getting the divine fungal grass was an afterthought and fairly easy, whilst making the exilir was no big deal. Given she can see that [[AnArmAndALeg he's not using his left arm]], she knows [[BlantantLies he's lying]].

* [[HeroicBSoD HeroicBSoD]]:

* [[HeroicBSoD HeroicBSoD]]: Upon Su Su's "death", Ye Hua loses his will to live and takes a long time to recover. The only reasons he does so are because of his infant son and because he finds a way to bring Su Su back to life (in a fashion). It returns briefly when the Soul-Gathering Lamp is extinguished until Lian Song convinces him to keep going for A-Li's sake.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: She loses her memories after her fight with Qing Cang.

* AdultFear: A-Li has a habit of disappearing, prompting Ye Hua to try and remain calm. He's especially horrified when he hears that Xuan Nu abducted him.

* AlwaysSecondBest: Zigzagged. Due to his uncanny and inexplicable resemblance to Mo Yuan, Ye Hua was constantly compared to the dead God of War from childhood. This is why he strove to do even better to prove he wasn't Mo Yuan, such as achieving the high immortal rank at only 20,000 years old (Mo Yuan was 25,000).

** When he asks Bai Qian if he has a place in her heart. Though she seems confused, when she goes to her room she keeps thinking about it, showing that what he said bothers her.

* HeroicBSoD: Upon Su Su's "death", Ye Hua loses his will to live and takes a long time to recover. The only reasons he does so are because of his infant son and because he finds a way to bring Su Su back to life (in a fashion). The BSoD returns briefly when the Soul-Gathering Lamp is extinguished until Lian Song convinces him to keep going for A-Li's sake.
* HeroicSacrifice: Gives his life to stop Qing Cang once and for all, as well as destroy the Bell of the East Emperor.

* OnlyMostlyDead: Ye Hua is seemingly dead after stopping the Bell of the East Emperor, although it turns out that (through complicated means) he was only in a near-death state and needed some time to heal his damaged spirit.

* PoorCommunicationKills: He would have spared both Bai Qian and himself a lot of misery if he'd only told her why he was acting so cold towards her.

* {{Synchronization}}: A mild variant. Ye Hua is connected to Mo Yuan, and vice versa (likely because they're twins, but also possibly because Mo Yuan spent millennia caring for the golden lotus). When Mo Yuan's spirit makes its presence known, Ye Hua doubles over in pain; when Ye Hua gives his life, Mo Yuan in turn feels it.

* UnknownRelative: Ye Hua is unaware he is (via complicated means) actually the son of Heavenly Father, and thus the twin brother of Mo Yuan.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can turn into a dragon (or snake in his smaller form).

[[folder: Xin Nu]]
--> '''Played by:''' Zhang Ranyi

Su Jin's personal maid.

* HaughtyHelp: Acts above other maids and tends to order the soldiers on her lady's behalf.
* SycophanticServant: Does everything she can to bolster Su Jin's ego and delusions, despite how much trouble they would both be in if Su Jin's schemes were exposed.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Su Jin, willing to feed her beliefs that she's the best person to marry Ye Hua as well as aid in her schemes to make it so.
* YesMan: Xin Nu only ever once, briefly, questions Su Jin's schemes (when she's planning to frame Yuan Zhen). Otherwise, whatever Su Jin asks of her, she'll agree to.

[[folder: Nai Nai]]
--> '''Played by:''' Yang Anqi

Su Su's personal maid.

* ParentalSubstitute: Helps Ye Hua raise A-Li, sort of as a nanny, and basically becomes the only mother he knows.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Su Su. Le Xu even comments that Nai Nai is exceedingly loyal after she tearfully pleads to remain with Su Su despite the order for all maids in Ye Hua's palace to be replaced.

* TalkingYourWayOut: Si Yin is noted as being good at this, which is why she tries it on Qing Cang (unfortunately, he already recognised them). Bai Qian later talks her way out of trouble at the banquet in the Eastern Sea. She's also good at talking people into doing things...
