The main protagonist of the story. He used to be called Li Xiangyi, the young leader of the Sigu Sect and the most skilled martial artist in the world. After learning that his adoptive older brother, Shan Gudao, was killed, Li Xiangyi confronted Di Feisheng, the leader of the Jinyuan Alliance who was suspected of holding Shan Gudao's corpse, and challenged him in a duel at the East Sea. However, after the battle, Li Xiangyo found himself washed on the shore, bruised and poisoned. He headed back to the Sigu Sect headquarters only to learn that the people were dismayed by his actions, blaming him for the casualties. At this point, Li Xiangyi realized the error of his ways and decided to quit his role as a martial artist.

He changes his name to Li Lianhua after seeing the poem on the Pudu Temple walls. As Li Lianhua, he's known as a traveling doctor who was said to raise the dead. Though those two patients aren't really dead, he just dug them out. During those ten years, Li Lianhua's main objective is to find Shan Gudao's corpse and give it a proper burial. At the start of the show, he eventually meets Fang Duobing and helps him in solving cases.
----
* TheAce: As Li Xiangyi, he's regarded as the number one martial artist in the world. As Li Lianhua, his deductive skills are a huge contribution in solving cases and conspiracies. Though deep down, Li Lianhua sees himself as a BrokenAce due to his illness.
* BloodFromTheMouth: Once he realizes he can no longer suppress the Bicha Poison, Li Lianhua tends to choke out blood from his mouth towards the end of the story.
* ConsummateLiar: He tends to do this ''a lot'', most especially to Fang Duobing to mislead and prevent him from figuring out his true identity.
* GeniusBruiser: He's a skilled martial artist with great deductive skills.
* FromHeroToMentor: This is Li Lianhua's role as he helps Fang Duobing hone his deductive skills and martial arts.
* IHatePastMe: He admits that he's not fond of his younger self as he remembers how arrogant and uncaring he was.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: To keep his true identity hidden, Li Lianhua has to pretend that he's not good in martial arts.
* SecretlyDying: The Bicha poison has slowly affected his body which would end up killing him. His unique skill, Yangzhouman, suppresses the poison from spreading his entire body. However, it's only temporary, and as noted by Abbott Wuliao, he only has ten years to live.
* SherlockScan: He is very observant as he was able to correctly guess that Fang Duobing is from a rich family by just looking at his clothes. His skills became very useful in solving cases with Fang Duobing.
* ThatManIsDead: He declares that Li Xiangyi is dead and lets go of any connection he had with the past after reflecting on how bad his behavior was back then.
