Character List

Main Characters

Fan Jialuo (梵伽罗): A soul which awakened from his deep sleep to find himself in his vessel ‘Fan Jialuo’, who then takes on that very identity and starts living as him in the world, yet isn’t really alive. He seems to have originated from an ancient era and wields a psychic power, but we still don’t know who or what the real him actually is. Oh, and he likes to sleep for days in a bathtub full of ice water.

Zhao Wenyan (赵文彦): The CEO of Xinghui Entertainment Company; the original Fan Jialuo’s male god, who he chased after with all his might. The one who rejected the original Fan Jialuo’s confession. He is the one who suddenly bails Fan Jialuo out of a ‘flaming’ interrogation with the police. He acts as a go-between for Fan Kaixuan when he gives Fan Jialuo a check and a property document from him. Is he doing this merely out of kindness? I don’t know, and to be honest, I hate this ex!

Zhuang Zhen (庄禛; Zhuāng zhēn): A Team Leader in the Criminal Police Department of the Public Security Bureau; the Leader of the task force investigating Gao Yize’s death. A hero with ‘thirty six scars for twenty-one meritorious deeds…’. Originally a soldier but has now retired on account of injuries he suffered during his military days. His military background makes him perfectly eligible for the title of ‘Team Leader’. However, Fan Jialuo says that what endangers him aren’t his injuries, but he himself. I wonder what it means~

Bai Mu (白幕; Bái mù): The Head of the Bai Family and President of the Bai Corporation, which includes the Dingsheng International Company—the company which has invested heavily into the construction and creation of the Moon Bay Garden Community. His ‘four pillars of destiny/eight characters of birth’ have gaps and omissions which resulted in him suffering from all kinds of illness and misfortunes soon after birth, and thus he needed someone to supplement for those gapswhich led to his parents adopting Bai Lin, who fulfilled these conditions perfectly. Hey, but he met Fan Jialuo recently. Will his misfortune turn into fortune?

Song Rui (宋睿; Sòng ruì): A world-renowned psychologist and a consultant on Criminal Psychology for the Ministry of Public Security. He makes great progress in Gao Yize’s case when he sees through Fan Jialuo’s so-called ‘tricks’ and correlates it all with Buddhist theories (those terms can drive any layman dizzy). Our MC says — ‘I see a black hole in your heart. No, to be more precise, it’s an abyss.Ohh, so mysterious, I like it~

The Entertainment Industry and Zhao Group

Cao Xiaofeng (曹晓峰; Cáo xiǎofēng): STARS’s agent/broker, heavily-biased towards his preferred artistes. He pressured Fan Jialuo to quit the industry after his scandals were released on the Internet.

Mr. Liu (): A Deputy General Manager in the Xinghui Entertainment Company.

Gao Yize (高一泽; Gāo yīzé): STARS’s leader; the one who fell to his death from the top floor of the building which houses one of the studios of the Xinghui Entertainment Company. His real name is Gao Fei, he changed it before he debuted as an idol. About his past… mmm, you can read all about it in chapters 30-35…

Sun Ying (孙影; Sūn yǐng): A member of STARS, who hates and despises Fan Jialuo so much that he released black material on him onto the Internet, so as to hasten the destruction of Fan Jialuo’s career in the entertainment industry.

Su Fengxi (苏枫溪; Sū fēngxī): Zhao Wenyan’s girlfriend, who is filming abroad at the time of Gao Yize’s death. A Movie Queen and successful actress with a host of ‘love affairs’, mostly with powerful people belonging to various different industries. She keeps telling the public that she’s ‘single’, yet she has Zhao Wenyan as a lover. Hmm, I smell something suspicious about this woman~

Su Mian (苏眠; Sū mián): Su Fengxi’s ‘younger brother’ who grew up with her in the same orphanage. News of his and Su Fengxi’s many ‘love affairs’ during the time both of them were rising as stars was not conducive to their images, so they proclaimed their relationship to be that of an ‘older sister-younger brother’, but the real truth is still unknown. He invests a lot of money in a project with very good prospects in Sichuan, but because the government moved the area development project to Dongchuan, his efforts and funds have both gone down the drain. 

Zhao Guoan/Elder Zhao (赵国安; Zhào guó’ān): Zhao Wenyan’s grandfather.

Xiao Lin (小林): Zhao Guoan’s assistant + bodyguard.

Xiao Guang (小广): Zhao Guoan’s assistant + bodyguard.

 

The Police Squad

He is about forty-five years old, has a bad temper, and his nickname is ‘Fat Fish.’ He suffers from hair loss and nearly goes bald because of the difficulty in investigating Gao Yize’s case, not to mention the ‘countless’ tricks Fan Jialuo has played on the task force.

Xiao Luo/Luo Hong (罗洪; Luō hóng): One of the members of the task force in-charge of investigating Gao Yize’s death. 

Liao Fang (廖芳; Liào fāng): The beautiful policewoman who was in-charge of taking written notes during Fan Jialuo’s first interrogation. Also the one who lends him an umbrella. She is the only one who believes that Fan Jialuo is innocent and did what he should have done in Gao Yize’s death— but yeah, no one believes her

Xiao Li/ (小李; Xiǎo lǐ): A quiet young officer working as a network technician in the Criminal Police Department, very proficient in hacking and related technology, and a homebound man. 

Yang Shengfei (杨胜飞; Yáng shèngfēi): A young officer, who gets very angry after being ‘read’ by Fan Jialuo during an interrogation session. He seems to have a nightmarish memory about his childhood, one about losing someone very precious to him. He later confesses to the task force that he lost his sister in a tragic way, and has sworn to find the culprit behind his sister’s murder…  

Xiao Liu (小刘; Xiǎo liú): a new face who’ll hopefully get a proper introduction in the future?

The Fan Family

Fan Luoshan (梵洛山; Fàn luòshān): Fan Jialuo’s father, the current Head of the Fan Family. He severed their father-son relationship as soon as his wife died and publicly announced that Fan Jialuo was an adopted child, so as to acknowledge and give status to his illegitimate son, Fan Kaixuan.

Fan Kaixuan (梵凯旋; Fàn kǎixuán): Fan Luoshan’s illegitimate son, who is abroad during Gao Yize’s death. ‘A person who should not have existed’ — says Fan Jialuo. He was born into a poor family (well, he is an illegitimate child), and worked really hard, doing whatever he could to reach the position he is in now. Currently known as the ‘golden hand’ on Wall Street, all investments he makes are 100% successful, and he has now acquired unimaginable wealth and connections. He gives Fan Jialuo some money and a property document for a villa, just to ‘help’ his ‘half-brother,’ and thereby of course, save his face.

Bai Lin (白林; Bái lín): An adopted son of the Bai Family, who entered the household to supplement Bai Mu’s incomplete four pillars of destiny and keep him away from any danger. But as he grew up, his ambition also grew larger, and he began to covet the Bai Family’s wealth for himself.

Uncle Li (李叔; Lǐ shū): The Bai Family’s housekeeper.
