9
10
11	The main character of the story. He has been entrusted with the task of bringing the Heart Lamp to the Chen family descendant, only for the Heart Lamp to end up on someone else...
12
13	----
14	* AdaptationDyeJob: His ''manhua'' and novel counterparts have brown hair, his audio drama design has black hair, and in the ''donghua'' adaptation, he's given pink hair.
15	* AllLovingHero: He's kind to most people he runs into, even questioning Li Jinglong about if they really should kill all of the fox demons they find hiding in the Imperial Court since he's aware that not all of the demons were out to harm anyone. He even helps Du Hanqing, even though he's aware the other is a fox demon simply because he didn't like seeing the other being bullied by his peers.
16	* BattleCouple: With Li Jinglong.
17	* BigEater: The first thing he did upon arriving in Chang'an was trying all the cuisine it had to offer.
18	* CagedBirdMetaphor: Had one of these, which comically feels rather literal in a family of birds.
19	* CaughtTheHeartOnHisSleeve: Did this a couple of times with Jinglong early in the novel, which Jinglong felt rather embarrassed about.
20	* CombatMedic: His first introduction in the ''donghua'' is him trying to make some medicine to help his father, and when he joins the exorcism group, he helps create drugs for them. He's also no slouch in a fight.
21	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He might not be a reliable source of actual thinking, but he's real damn good with his knives.
22	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When he first arrived in Chang'an, he didn't grasp what a Beauty House is and accidentally tarnished Li Jinglong's reputation by bringing him there to hide while he was unconscious.
23	* EatingTheEyeCandy: He's oogled at Li Jinglong's physique a good few times.
24	* FakeMemories: [[spoiler:A whole bunch.]]
25	* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:With Li Jinglong when they were children.]]
26	* FriendToAllLivingThings: Humans, animals, and other demons.
27	* HalfHumanHybrid: Hongjun is half ''yao'', with his father being the third king of the Yaojin Palace. Though his father was essentially a magical peacock, he isn't able to turn into one.
28	* HappilyAdopted: Though Chong Ming was a volatile parent and shows shades of ChildrenRaiseYou, Hongjun loves him enough that when Chong Ming said he could take anything from Yaojin Palace to bring with him down to the world, Hongjun's first choice was his dad.
29	* MusclesAreMeaningless: He's the smallest member in the group, but he can lug around an unconscious Li Jinglong around with ease.
30	* NaiveNewcomer: He was oblivious to a lot of things when he first came down the mountain, having grown up isolated in a magical-being palace with only a few books and only his anti-human dad for most of his life.
31	* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's the youngest and shortest in the Exorcism Department but is more than capable of pulling his weight in a fight.
32	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Is more cheerful and energetic compared to Li Jinglong's sterner personality.
33	* StrongerThanTheyLook: Hongjun is often depicted as a pretty small, slim guy, but he grew up climbing cliffs and mountains and canonically is able to lug Li Jinglong, a soldier and man both older and bigger than him, back to bed. He also helped pull Jinglong up when they had to scale a mountain.
34	* SweetTooth: In the ''donghua'' he is particularly intrigued by sweet food and Li Jinglong convinces him to stay seated next to him in the Beauty House because they were going to eat pastries to the other's curiosity and delight.
35	* WideEyedIdealist: Even though he knows that some demons have done harm to humans, he still doesn't believe the group should kill all of them, being a demon himself and understanding that not all demons were horrible beings.

41	[[folder:Li Jinglong]]
42	!! Li Jinglong (李景珑)
43
44	!!! '''Voiced by''': Bian Jiang (audio drama)
45
46
47	The love interest and one of the main characters. He's the superior officer of the Exorcist Department and current holder of the Heart Lamp. He wields the Wisdom Sword, also known as the Acala Blade.
48
49	----
50
51	* BattleCouple: With Kong Hongjun.
52	* BerserkButton: When his honor is at stake, he loses his temper really quickly. He immediately goes to attack Hongjun when he believes the other had deflowered him.
53	* BornUnlucky: With shades of TemptingFate. People automatically assume the worse of him and whenever he sarcastically mentions a worse scenario they tend to happen, but later in the story there are implications that this might not be just about luck.
54	* BrokenAce: Despite his leadership skills and possession of the Heart Lamp, he's crushed by self-loathing when looking back at who he was before he became chief of the Exorcist Department, claiming he was a coward, selfish, useless, and has nothing to boast other than his family name and archery.
55	* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Despite their rocky start, he develops a soft spot for Hongjun.
56	* CoolSword
57	* TheCassandra: Part of the reason why everyone in Chang'an considers him a laughingstock is because he was the only one who believed demons existed prior to events.
58	* DeclarationOfProtection
59	* DevotedToYou: As long as it was something he could do, if Hongjun just says it he'll do it.
60	* FashionableAsymmetry
61	* GlowingEyes: When he activates the Heart Lamp.
62	* ImprobableAimingSkills: Jinglong pulls this off once, aiming at something that by all means should be realistically impossible, shocking the Archer of the group.
63	* TheKlutz: You'd be surprised. His first appearances have him falling out of a brothel from the rooftops when he's trying to escape.
64	* LegendaryWeapon: The Wisdom Sword, which he sold off everything he owned and inherited for.
65	* LightEmUp: The Heart Lamp in him lets him blind enemies AND purify them. Sometimes both at once.
66	* LoveConfession
67	* ParentalNeglect: His mother died when he was very young, and his father seemed to be very busy with military work. He was mentioned to have been rarely home as a child, going out to play as there's nobody home. Another parent character even commented that had her child not gone to check on him while he was sick, he might've died and nobody would've known. One instance when his father was mentioned to be home, it was New Years and he was drinking.
68	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Is the savvy guy to Hongjun's energetic persona.
69	* TheCaptain: He served as the captain of the guard before he takes over the leader of the Exorcist group.
70	* TheSmartGuy: He's often an entire league ahead of his team when it comes to understanding the situation and coming up with plans. When he was away for other matters the rest of the team had to spend half a chapter coming up with a passable plan for an upcoming conflict. They offhandedly mention that he's so smart the rest of them never had to think.
71	* TallDarkAndHandsome: He checks off the boxes.
72	* TerribleArtist: His caricature of the cat they were looking for in the ''donghua'' is... interesting to say the least.
73	* TokenHuman: Though half of the rest of the main cast are technically humans, Jinglong is the only mortal with no powers until he got the Heart Lamp. Even then, the Heart Lamp is incompatible with other forms of magic, so he can't really pull off feats other people might be able to learn. This was the source of internal team conflict early in the novel.
74	* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Heart Lamp. It's not as bad as in Tian Bao Fu Yao Lu's chronological prequel, but it's still not that impressive on paper. It has no direct combat prowess (unless flashing them counts), its only use is to purify and dispel resentment, and on top of that it draws its magic from the person's heart. Having it also means you can't use the normal magic others could. Of course, given its hyperfocus on purification, it plays a ''very'' important role in a story about demons.
75	* YoungAndInCharge: He's like 20 and in charge of the department, with prior history as a commander in the Longwu Army. Granted, he seemed to have joined the army in his early adolescence.

79	[[folder:Mo Rigen]]
80	!! Mo Rigen (莫日根)
81
82	!!! '''Voiced by''': Ling Fei (audio drama)
83
84	----
85
86	* AdaptationalSkill: The ''donghua'' has Mo Rigen being able to activate a form of enhanced vision which turns his eyes green.
87	* BigBrotherInstinct: He immediately takes care of and protects both Hongjun and Lu Xu, much to the later's chagrin.
88	* HappilyAdopted: He's fond of his younger siblings, though he [[spoiler:reveals to Lu Xu that they're not his biological siblings]].
89	* BelligerentSexualTension: With [[spoiler:Lu Xu]]
90	* IfItsYouItsOkay: He's not at all attracted to men, even to the point of lamenting to Hongjun that he tried things out to get aroused thinking about Lu Xu and failed. But the Gray Wolf was always 'made' to accompany the White Deer, and in the end he ''did'' manage to feel real, genuine attraction to Lu Xu, though a lot of things happened before then.
91	* NiceGuy: He gets along amiably with everyone in the Exorcism Department.
92	* RaisedByWolves: Shades of this after [[spoiler:his tribe was attacked]].
93	* TheConfidant: He's the first person Hongjun confides his half-yao status to. He also confides with Li Jinglong about his relationship problems and vice versa.
94	* WolfMan: He's the reincarnation of the Gray Wolf, the Guardian of Day. He can shapeshift (and control the size of it) into a wolf, and his mother said that when he was born the wolf fur hadn't fully shed from his body yet.

104	----

106	* BlowYouAway: His main ability is using wind.
107	* BunnyEarsLawyer: He has a goofy, eccentric, friendly personality but is also the prince of the Sassanid royal family.
108	* TheCasanova: He is excited to get to go to the Beauty House and based off of snippets of conversation, he likes to frequent it and is popular with the women there.
109	* CombatHandFan: He carries around a fan that he can use to create small whirlwinds or deflect enemy attacks.
110	* ChildhoodFriends: With Ashina Qiong.
111	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He has blond hair and is on the heroes side to protect the civilians from demons.
112	* HenpeckedHusband: He doesn't dare to cross his fiancée Turandohkt. To be fair, no one else in the Exorcism Department dares to either. PlayedForLaughs.
113	* IconicItem: He's never seen without his fan which he uses to fan himself often and usually carries his lute around.
114	* InstrumentalWeapon: His lute.
115	* LastOfHisKind: He turns out to be the last member of the Sassanid royal family.
116	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He introduces himself with his full name, but lets everyone call him Ah-Tai for short.

133	* PurpleIsPowerful: In the ''donghua'' he's mainly dressed in purple.
134	* TheSoCalledCoward: He cowers when faced with more grotesque-looking demons but is more than capable of kicking ass with his brush.

152	----
153

156	* BrokenTears: In the ''donghua'', he sobs upon finding his adoptive mother's corpse.

158	* BelligerentSexualTension: With [[spoiler:Mo Rigen]]
159	* SuperSpeed
160	* SpockSpeak
161	* TheQuietOne: Not much of a talker.
162	* Tsundere: Comes off somewhat like this, especially given he feels Mo Rigen only takes care of him out of a sense of duty.
163	* WeaponsOfTheirTrade: He uses a shovel to fight against the undead soldiers.

175	----
176
177	* AngerBornOfWorry: Whenever Hongjun got injured in both the past and present, he expresses his concern for him this way.
178	* CoolCrown: He wears a golden diadem.
179	* DadTheVeteran: He's the deposed Yao King and Leader of the Three Sages of Yaojin Palace
180	* DadsCantCook: Somewhat on the inedible side. He eats bamboo rice (or bamboo blossom), which is extremely valuable and rare, but even Jinglong mentioned that this might be the one person who could turn such a precious ingredient into something unpalatable. A little audio drama episode was even dedicated to the fact that young Hongjun had to be forced to eat, though the child later took it as opportunity to have fun and run around avoiding his own dad.
181	* DatingWhatDaddyHates: He makes it clear that he's not fond of humans. Unfortunately for him, his adopted son falls for one.

183	* PlayingWith Fire: Well, he is a phoenix.

185	* RedOniBlueOni: Is the red to Qing Xiong's blue.
186	* SinkOrSwimFatherhood: When his youngest brother died and left behind his half-human child, his second brother thrust the child onto him to care for.
187	* ThePhoenix: Literally.
188	* ToughLove: He rarely shows Hongjun affection, but it's clear that he wants the young boy to be able to navigate the world on his own and be ready for whatever it throws at him.
189	* {{Tsundere}}: To his ''son'', sometimes.
190	* VoluntaryShapeshifting
191
