!!Li Minde/Yuanlie, Crown Prince of Rouran

!!Tuoba Jun, Prince Gao Yang

!!Tuoba Yu, Prince Nan An

!!Tuoba Han, Prince Dong Ping

!!Li Minde/Yuan Lie, Crown Prince of Rouran

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: A highly fictionalised example. The real Tuoba Jun did have a Consort Li. However, virtually nothing is known about her life, including her personal name. All Li Changle has in common with her is her surname, the fact she married Tuoba Jun, and the fact she committed suicide. (Incidentally, the real Consort Li was the birth mother of Tuoba Hong. [[UnrelatedInTheAdaptation Here Xin'er is his mother, and Li Changle died before he was born.]])

!!Tuoba Tao, Emperor Tai Wu

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: A fictionalised version of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Taiwu_of_Northern_Wei Emperor Tai Wu]].

[[folder: Zhou Xue Mei]]

Princess of Northern Yan. The only survivor after her family are murdered. Takes the identity of Wei Young to get revenge on their murderers.

* DeadPersonImpersonation: Her impersonation of Wei Young is helped by the fact none of the Li family have seen the real Wei Young for years, but some of them still suspect she's an impostor.
* DistinguishingMark: Has a birthmark on her wrist. This makes Seventh Concubine realise she isn't Wei Young.
* HeroicBastard: Played with. She isn't illegitimate but Wei Young was, so thanks to the DeadPersonImpersonation everyone assumes she's this trope.

* ObliviousToLove: She never realises Minde is in love with her.
* RagsToRiches [=/=] RichesToRags: Goes through both tropes repeatedly. She starts out the princess of Northern Liang, then becomes a NobleFugitive, then pretends to be Wei Young... and that's just in the first few episodes.

* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: Made one to Chang Le. This causes trouble later when he no longer likes her but she still wants to marry him.

* DeathFakedForYou: He fakes Chang Ru's death.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice [=/=] TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler: Chang Ru tries to stab Xin'er. Tuoba Yu jumps between them and she stabs him instead.]]

* PrinceCharmless: For Xin'er. Chang Ru likes him much better, [[LoveMakesYouEvil unfortunately]].

** He says he'll save Xin'er if Tuoba Jun marries Chang Le. Faced with a choice between marrying a woman he hates, or letting the woman he loves die, Tuoba Jun agrees to the marriage.

[[folder: Li Chang Ru]]

The real Wei Young's cousin.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She hates Chang Le because she's always treated better than her. The first incident is when she spends months weaving a tapestry for Grandma's birthday. Then Chang Le brings out a better tapestry right in front of hers.

[[folder: Li Chang Le]]

The real Wei Young's half-sister.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: A highly fictionalised example. The real Tuoba Jun did have a Consort Li. However, virtually nothing is known about her life, including her personal name. All Chang Le has in common with her is her surname, the fact she married Tuoba Jun, and the fact she committed suicide. (Incidentally, the real Consort Li was the birth mother of Tuoba Hong. [[UnrelatedInTheAdaptation Here Xin'er is his mother, and Chang Le died before he was born.]])

* BelligerentSexualTension: With Minde. She spends most of her time annoying him.

* MistakenForGay: Minde thinks she's a man when he first meets her. Then he thinks she's flirting with him and jumps to the conclusion she's a gay man. Tuoba Di finds the whole thing hilarious.
* RoyalBrat: Her behaviour towards Minde has shades of this.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation [=/=] UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: The historical Xian Wen was the son of Tuoba Jun and Consort Li (who was fictionalised as Chang Le), and the step-son of Empress Feng (fictionalised as Xin'er). Here Tuoba Hong is Xin'er's son and isn't related to Chang Le.

* TokenGoodTeammate: She, Minde and Chang Ru are the only members of the Li family to treat Xin'er well. [[spoiler: Then it's revealed Minde isn't really part of the family and Chang Ru is a BitchInSheepsClothing, so Old Granny Li turns out to be the only good person in the family.]]
