Meet the characters from Heaven Official’s Blessing

Hua Cheng

Okay listen, Hua Cheng is the kind of person who walks into a ruined palace and makes the place feel like home — terrifying, utterly regal, and secretly a big softie. He’s fiercely devoted (obsessively? yes) and will smirk while setting your world on fire, then bring you tea like nothing happened. Somehow elegant and ridiculous all at once — collects weird trinkets and also probably hoards whole wardrobes of scarlet cloaks, or maybe that’s just one cloak, I can’t remember. Also low-key dramatic, loves nicknames, and is more tender than he lets on (but he’ll never say it straight, of course).

Xie Lian

Xie Lian is painfully kind and stubbornly optimistic, the kind of person who trips through disaster with a smile and somehow survives three ascensions and still has faith in people. He’s gentle and clumsy and remarkably brave, with this forever-patient vibe that makes everyone forgive him for everything (including his terrible luck). He collects old stories and snacks (probably has a secret stash of rice cakes? maybe burnt ones too), and he can be both hopelessly naive and quietly wise at once. Honestly he’s the heart-melter type — will adopt stray ghosts and awkwardly try to fix the whole world, bless him.

Ban Yue

Ban Yue is cold-as-moonlight serious, the kind of silent type who gives one look and you immediately rearrange your life, but he’s not all frost — there’s a stubborn loyalty that bites. He seems like a tactical mastermind? definitely has a plan, usually involving horses and meticulous battle maps and midnight polishing sessions for his armor. Also, random detail: he hums old lullabies when no one’s watching and will deny it fiercely if asked, which makes him suspiciously human. He’s the quiet backbone who probably remembers every promise you ever made (and will remind you at inconvenient times).

Fu Yao

Fu Yao is prickly and sharp-tongued, full of fox-like mischief and charm, and oh my god he will sass you while saving your life — theatrics galore. He’s impulsive, flashy, and has an annoying habit of doing the dramatic walkaway, then coming back five minutes later with an apology snack. Sometimes he’s ridiculously brave and sometimes he’s a coward who hides in an oversized cloak — it changes by the hour honestly. Deep down he’s surprisingly sentimental (collects hairpins? laces? probably both) and can be absolutely infuriating in the best way.

Ling Wen

Ling Wen reads like the perfect scholar who secretly owns every embarrassing novelty item known to the realm — prim, precise, and very very organized, until he isn’t. He’s refined and cultured, with an eye for etiquette and a tendency to correct your posture mid-conversation (rude but effective). There’s a soft streak under all that formality, though, and he’ll quietly protect the people he cares about without making a spectacle of it. Also likes tea ceremonies and maybe fireworks? I keep imagining him with a tiny, perfectly folded fan and a guilty grin.

Nan Feng

Nan Feng is swagger and warmth and “I will protect you” energy rolled into one flashy, reckless package — equal parts charming rogue and fierce general. He flirts like it’s a sport and fights like it’s a poem, and yes he probably collects battle scars like badges (also probably terrible at keeping secrets). He’s loyal to a fault, loud, full of jokes, and somehow also capable of terrifying focus when things get real. Also random: loves literature and tattoos? maybe both, maybe he’s got a book tucked under his arm and ink on his ribs; either way he’s impossible not to notice.
