* HotTeacher: Both figuratively and literally. While her personality is horrendous, she is physically very attractive. Her "Fox flame spirit" also lets her summon and control flames.

In fact, the dean didn't ''want'' to let her go, due to how many "geniuses" her class turned out, but honored her wishes when she did.

* CardCarryingVillain: He happily admits that he not only sees women as nothing more than toys for him to screw over, literally, but that he's done so already on numerous innocent girls. [[QuestionableConsent It is never mentioned if any of these girls had any choice in the matter.]]
* EntitledToHaveYou: To Xiao Ning Er. Even the complete annulment of the arranged marriage by ''both'' families doesn't deter him from proclaiming her as his fiance. Not even when she tells him to his face that he's unwelcome.
* EvilRedhead: He has red hair, and he's among the most despicable people in the Sacred Family.
* ReallyGetsAround: He's not only screwed over numerous girls, he's impregnated and abandoned them. This is well-known.
* TheyJustDontGetIt: No matter who tells him that Xiao Ning Er is off limits, he still tries to forcefully claim her as his fiance. Even when she gives him a repeated NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, to the point that he's grievously injured and taken away on a stretcher, he '''still''' proclaims she's his fiance, and he deserves to torture the hell out of her for "seducing some other guy."

!! Snow Wind Family
!! Winged Dragon Family
!! Heavenly Circle Family
! Sacred Family
!! Common To All
* TheBully: They love to throw their weight around, either browbeating the people of Glory City with their political power, or beating them up with brute strength, if not both.
* MilesGloriosus: They loudly proclaim themselves as the best, bravest, and strongest Demon Spiritualists in Glory City, and that they should be the rightful rulers. Facing a real challenge? They run and hide behind someone or something.
* StayInTheKitchen: Combined with StrawMisogynist. They see women as weak toys to exploit, at best.
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: They managed to become one of the top three families by holding back their strongest, putting forth the absolute minimum they can get away with during Demon Beast attacks on Glory city, letting all the other families wear themselves out. When caught in the act performing some crime, their go-to "defense" is the protest that their "many contributions to Glory City" should grant them the benefit of the doubt.
[[folder: Shen Hong]]
The patriarch of the family
----
* BadassBeard: His white beard reaches the ground. He can kick plenty of ass when he wants.
* BeardOfEvil: A long, white beard on a truly despicable individual.
* DevilInPlainSight: He is a very obviously abhorrent individual, yet in the original timeline, nobody had even the tiniest suspicion of his actions until his entire family openly betrayed and abandoned Glory City. Mei Li makes a point of exposing his sins to the world, and making sure he answers for them. [[spoiler: Which he ultimately does.]]
* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: He doesn't have an end-goal beyond taking control of Glory City, he just wants to be City Lord, by any means necessary.
* EvilOldFolks: He's clearly in his 60's and he's despicable.
* FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: He loathes Ze Yong, the current Lord of Glory City, not for anything the man has done, but for the "crime" of simply existing. He even admits killing Ze Yong's wife, Ze Yin Yun's mother.
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: The reason he hates the Snow Wind Family? Especially the City Lord? They're better demon spiritualists than he and his family are, and he can't take it!
* YouHaveFailedMe: His response to failure from his family members is death-threats, if he's feeling generous.

[[folder: Shen Yue]]
The arranged marriage fiance of Ze Yin Yun.
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: He rounds up six guys and attacks Mei Li, without any obvious cause or provocation, in public, and repeatedly shouts things along the lines of "pummel him until he dies" as Mei Li is screaming that Sacred Family is trying to murder him, while trying to run away. He then has the gall to call Mei Li "despicable" when he's caught.
* EntitledToHaveYou: To Ze Yin Yun. Even after Ze Yong annuls the arranged marriage, he still sees her as "his" and refuses to give her up... until Mei Li beats him into the ground.
* MoralMyopia: He repeatedly antagonizes Mei Li, among others, even trying to beat Mei Li to death, ''in public'', yet when any of his intended victims retaliate, or he gets called out on it, his intended victims are the despicable ones.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After the Sacred Hall "Merits Tournament," he simply disappears from the story.

[[folder: Mei Li]]
The protagonist.
* AChildShallLeadThem: At the age of 13, [[spoiler: he winds up leading the army defending Glory City.]] Justified as he has a century's worth of experience in an alternate timeline.
* BenevolentBoss: He rewards those who serve him very well.
* BullyHunter: One of the many reasons he picks fights with the Sacred Family is that the current generation of students are nothing more than bullying thugs. Especially Shen Yue and Shen Han who both love to bully their arranged marriage fiances.
* ChickMagnet: Justified. He may be a bit of a goofball, but he's rich, powerful, well-connected, and extremely protective to those who will follow him.
* ContrivedCoincidence: It's a much shorter list if one mentions the times that he ''doesn't'' "just happen to have" what he needs to exploit some new find, once the current timeline starts to diverge from his original.
* CrowchingMoronHiddenBadass: Which Ye Zi Yun notices and lampshades frequently. Mei Li may act like an air-headed goof-ball most of the time, but there is method to his madness.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Threaten Glory City in general, or his loved ones in particular, and he will bring everything you care about crashing down around you, no matter what it takes.
* ItsPersonal: Mei Li hates the Sacred Family with undying passion because their cowardice and thuggery left him alone in the world with all his loved ones dead, while they fled to an alternate dimension, hiding out the fall of Glory City.
* SpannerInTheWorks: To the Sacred Family.
