Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: majors spoilers for 2ha, death mention, food mention

Chu Wanning from the Husky and His White Cat Shizun

You cannot read 2ha without being infested by the Chu Wanning brainrot

He loves so deeply and with all his heart but would rather die than admit it. His clumsy attempts at kindness are seen as insincere or cruel, and he will never deny it. 

He climbed 3,799 stairs while dying to save Mo Ran. He made him wontons, and let Mo Ran believe Shi Mei made them. He always chooses to save others 

“It hurt too much to hold one person in his heart, so he hid him carefully in the very depths of his heart. It was fine if that person didn’t like him, as long as he could think about that person quietly, protect that person silently; it was fine if he couldn’t have that person.”

“If you don’t know how to save others, how will you save yourself?” 

He is THE character ever made and my personal favorite. Reading 2ha means being willing to die for this man, and I’ll stand by that for the rest of my life

Sha Hualing from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

A fierce demon who attacked the Cang Qiong Mountain sect in SVSSS and became one of Luo Binghe’s wives in Proud Immortal Demon Way who often fought with Liu Mingyan and Qin Wanyue

Submission: sexy but in a cringefail kind of way (i say this with love)

My fav description of her is something along the lines of, “trying to be the steal-your-man girl who fails about it so badly” 

She’s ambitious, she’s ruthless, she’s intelligent -  If you support women’s rights, you should also support women’s wrongs (/light-hearted)

CWs: animal mention, animal death mention, death mention, pet death

Cui Buqu from Peerless

Submission: He’s mean, he’s disabled and unapologetic about it, he’s a genius and all his braincells escape him when faced with his rival, he’s a secret agent and has no martial arts, he’s deeply in love and will never say so unless pushed, he will liken his rival to his sun and then tell him he’s the most annoying person he’s ever met. He’s a bastard little fox <3 

Helian Yi from Lord Seventh / Qi Ye 

Qi Ye tells the story of Prince Jing Beiyuan’s seventh life, which is a repeat of his first life. All of his first five lives have been tied to Helian Yi - he helped him ascend the throne in their first life, he was an insect crushed by Helian Yi in his second life, he was a beloved dog killed to feed Helian Yi’s family in his third life, he was a neglected jasmine plant in his fourth life, he was a fox skinned by Helian Ye in his fifth life - but in the first and seventh lives, Helian Yi’s the Crown Prince of the Jin Empire while Jing Beiyuan is the Prince Nan’ning (a title; he’s not related to Helian Yi as far as I know). In their seventh life, Helian Yi seems to be treating him very well (from what I’ve read), but he’s not the love interest. 

He’s also in Faraway Wanderers (for, like, one chapter) and technically is Prince Jin in Word of Honor (but they’re pretty much completely different characters). Zhou Zishu is his most trusted aid who formed Heaven’s Window and then left. 

Idk, I haven’t gotten that far in Qi Ye; he sounds like the villain, but he’s really just Sad - Idk if he’s in love with Jing Beiyuan or what, but he’s SAD, okay? From what I can tell, he cares for Jing Beiyuan but can’t be with him because of his position as Crown Prince, but don’t quote me on that

“In that instant, Helian Yi suddenly wanted to take him into his arms, suddenly wanted to wholly throw out and disregard the home, nation, and world that weighed down on his mind and body, no longer brooding on and wishing for a liaison he didn’t dare to have. He wanted to say, from now on, come earthly blades of wind and swords of frost, I will do everything I can to block them or you. There is only one person in this life and this world for me, even without this extensive, partially mountainous, mostly oceanic king’s land.” - Source

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: animal mention, violence, death mention, swearing

Liu Qingge from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System 

Submission 1: I JUST REALLY LOVE HIM A LOT

Submission 2: He was saved from death by the guy he hated the most and immediately proceeded to start exchanging fight tactics with him (which involves beating up his own students) and they also exchange gifts. Spent five years fighting the disciple of the same man for possession of his corpse and is a salty ass love rival (he attacked a succubus when she predicted that the disciple and his friend would get together)

Literally so beautiful that Shen Qingqiu had to do a double-take

Head empty, only fighting

"[Liu Qingge] isn't interested in Shen Qingqiu. He isn't interested in anyone. He's only interested in fighting. He wants to be the strongest and the best." – MXTX accidentally(?) convincing the entire SVSSS fandom he was in love with Shen Qingqiu is so fucking funny. Yes, he consistently takes great care to return Shen Qingqiu’s items and fought Luo Binghe for his body for five years. No, he’s not in love; why would you even ask that? What is he, gay? There’s no time for that; he’s got monsters to fight 

Yue Qingyuan from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

Very devoted to one man and one man only (said man is a feral cat who hates him) 

A very kind and gentle older brother-type character 

His sword is a cool concept, and it fucks severely how he’s considered one of - if not the - most powerful cultivator of his era who is also the easiest character to bully

He’s just a cool guy, okay?

CWs: demon mention, death mention, murder mention, animal mention, rabies mention, insect mention, sex mention

Wenren È from Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know

The MC of Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know, Wenren È, finds a book that details the world around him where he’s the second male lead / love interest who dies to protect the Female Lead / protagonist. He is not in love with her, and he can’t imagine dying for her as is; he also doesn’t understand why his subordinate, who supposedly likes her as well, tried to kill her after his death. I think he’s tasked with addressing readers’ concerns with the novel, but there’s also a lot more going on lol

Submission 1: unhinged, no idea what romance is, has a feral dog with rabies for a boyfriend and thinks that boyfriend is super cute. Also, middle aged man. I love middle aged men.

Submission 2: Because Look, he is trying to get two characters to fall in love for Important Plot reasons and a: him and his main Minion have to look up what love is like in the shitty romance novels they're characters in, and then b: decide to make the two characters fall in love through the Cunning Use of Bugs. Also he got a copy of the book he is a character in, found out his fate, and was like I Think The Fuck Not. 

He also has pretty good morals, if not personality. He’s a much better guy than I expected him to be tbh 

Song Qingshi from Mistakenly Saving the Villain

A medical student who chooses to transmigrate into a sad Danmei novel to save the protagonist. He does not save the protagonist - he saves a cannon fodder villain named Yue Wuhuan. 

“Has a lack of understanding of social situations/an odd personality” - past submission (Danmei Tournament)

Very intelligent but dense to love and s*x; book smart; passionate about what he likes

[web-novel-polls]

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: derogatory language ("b*tch") as a joke, genitalia mention, murder mention, suicide mention

Mu Qing from Heaven Official’s Blessing

Submission: He's so powerful and so pathetic. The duality of man

Mu Qing can split a tower bell in two yet can’t admit he wanted to be friends with the MC Xie Lian. He tried to sacrifice himself as soon as he did.

Randomly started reciting a poem about his least favorite coworker’s dick just to fuck with him (Feng Xin) 

Said he would kill Xie Lian if he was sent him as a bride

Apparently spent two hours telling Feng Xin how ugly his statue was in the Nan Yan Temple on Mount Yujun (source)

Is just kinda a bitch (affectionate) 

Feng Xin from Heaven Official’s Blessing

Submission: because I just submitted Mu Qing, so now I need these two to face off like they do with the lanterns 

Xie Lian’s former subordinate/general

Is somehow the most normal out of the main cast (or at least the Xianle Trio)??? 

His greatest fear is women’s baths/women. He somehow has a son. Biologically. With a woman. 

Laughs at pretty much any joke

Is also a bitch (affectionate) but exclusively to Mu Qing; he’s otherwise pretty normal and upright

CWs: demon mention, death mention, murder mention, animal mention, insect/bug mention

Yin Hanjiang from Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know

Submission 1: He’s my little scrunkly

Submission 2: He’s my evil wife.

Yin Hanjiang is the second-in-command of the current Demon Lord Wenren È and the fourth male lead of Abusive Romance: You are the Unchanging One in My Heart, a novel Wenren È reads. In the novel, Yin Hanjiang blackens and tries to kill the female lead after Wenren È’s death. 

You would think Wenren È would be the craziest mf in this story, but it is, in fact, Yin Hanjiang. In the original novel, he tortured/chased the FL for quite a while to the point of being one of - if not the most - hated villains in the story; he was originally masked and revealed in a completely unseen twist, I believe. 

He was saved by Wenren È as a child and is obsessed with him, although their relationship changes more to friends than boss-subordinate WAY before they get together. 

Wu Xi from Lord Seventh / Qi Ye 

Submission: He is the roundworm in my stomach

Qi Ye tells the story of Prince Jing Beiyuan’s seventh life, which is a repeat of his first life. Wu Xi is the Great Shaman’s Shamanet and the Empire’s captive from Nanjiang who did not appear in Jing Beiyuan’s first life. 

From what I remember, he uses something similar to magic to make a court official become aroused / see a beautiful woman and embarrass himself in front of the entire court. As a child. 

He also has a vast array of dangerous and venomous animals, one of which he gifts to Jing Beiyuan after they become friends.

CWs: animal mention

Li Yu from Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish 

Submission: He’s infuriating and I love him, also helped create equal rights in ancient china

Li Yu transmigrated into a carp tasked with stealing a mute tyrant’s heart (by the system). He does not know how he’s supposed to do this, but the tyrant - Mu Tianchi - is waiting for him to transform into a human, already in love(?) with him.

The reviews on Novel Updates are… mainly unflattering… but he appears to be a naive and sweet character with in a fluffy love story with the ML, Mu Tianchi 

An Zhe from Little Mushroom 

Submission 1: honest to god, he’s just a little mushroom

Submission 1: he’s just a little mushroom

An optimistic mushroom mutated into a human trying to find his stolen spores

“An Zhe is the only person who wholeheartedly believes in Lu Feng [the ML]” - Carrd

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: MAJOR SPOILERS, genitalia mention, sex mention, murder mention, death mention

Shi Mei from the Husky and His White Cat Shizun

Submission: baby boy baby … evil

Mo Ran, the MC’s, original “love interest/crush”

As one of the last of the Butterfly-Boned Beauty Feast Clan, he wants to help save the rest of his clan, even willing to work with Hua Binan and listen to him to do so (who’s actually him from another timeline, but they have different morals) 

Seems very sweet and kind-hearted but is much more bloodthirsty than he lets on

His emotions are kept under lock and key (for good plot reasons) and was even thinking about killing Mo Ran, his supposed love interest, for Chu Wanning’s death (the person he actually loved)

Mo Ran from the Husky and His White Cat Shizun

Submission: dumbasses need representation too

He’s obsessed with his Shizun (Chu Wanning), but for plot reasons, he “hates” Chu Wanning. Still wants to fuck him tho (he thinks this is normal)

Constantly doing a fucking limbo contest where the bar is understanding his own feelings (he’s underground)  

The author pulls him and the reader through the redemption of a century kicking and screaming. 

Canonly has the largest d*ck in the cultivation realm (that we know of) - “Seen when bathing at Deyu Hall; an absolute unit, truly awe-inspiring” (Ch.131) - that leads to Chu Wanning having an entire crisis

“Because like people, an ox has gotta eat. For the sake of eating, a lot of work has to be done. If one day you can’t work anymore, then no one cares if you’re alive or dead.” - Ch.65, Ox Eats Grass 

The reason behind his “hatred-yet-not-hatred” for Chu Wanning is wild - he purposefully chose to take the Flower of Everlasting Hatred to save Chu Wanning, causing him to become Taxian-jun 

His story is also incredibly tragic, but we don’t talk about that

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: demon mention, god/religion mention, fire mention, violence, abuse mention, sex mention, torture

Mobei-jun from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

Submission 1: Everything he says makes me laugh. I just think he’s neat.

Submission: 2: Beloved by God

Submission 3: Hoping for a Mobei Jun vs Shang Qinghua face off for the drama of it all 

Luo Binghe’s subordinate as the ruler of the Mobei Clan of the Demon Realm who got beat up by Luo Binghe and then followed him forever ig (“the jet fuel to [Luo Binghe’s] flame” or his right-hand man)

Shang Qinghua, the transmigrated author of Proud Immortal Demon’s Way, wrote him as his ideal man (and Mobei-jun is his favorite character). After he saves Mobei-jun and defects to the demons, Mobei-jun tends to beat him up, which is the demon equivalent of flirting. 

He thinks he’s doing a great job seducing Shang Qinghua who just Wants a Break. They somehow get into an actual relationship and have horrible s*x

“If I let you hit back, then will you not go?” - Mobei-jun to Shang Qinghua

Original Shen Qingqiu / Shen Jiu from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

The scum villain that the MC transmigrated into who harassed and abused Luo Binghe (the MC of PIDW) until he was later tortured and turned into a human stick

Is fucked up, but his past is genuinely tragic. I actually think about the fact that his inability to sleep around men leads to his reputation worsening so much as he sleeps at brothels a lot

Is misunderstood by literally every character - pretty much every peak lord (except Yue Qingyuan) was much happier when Shen Yuan replaced him and didn’t want Shen Qingqiu to “regain his memories”; even Proud Immortal Demon Way and Shen Yuan seem to say/imply that he “wanted to do” Ning Yingying, his favorite disciple that he genuinely viewed as a daughter 

He’s just a very interesting character. He showcases both Shen Yuan's unreliability as a narrator and MXTX's continued themes of not truly knowing a character, especially off of rumors

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: animal mention, alcohol consumption

Zhao Yunlan from Guardian

The head of the Special Investigations Department/Unit (SID, SIU)

“has the thickest skin possible, and is as sly as a fox. He has three godly skills: being shameless, stalling, and avoiding the topic... even one of those can quickly drive a man to drink. In short, he’s the stuff of the judge's nightmares.” - Chapter 70

“If you were trouble, I’d take you by the dozen to bother me my whole life” (Drama)

Kind of a messy bitch and ill-tempered but polite, genuine, and hard-working when it counts

“No matter if it’s a regular person or Dixingren, a person is a person” - Episode 5

A shameless flirt who acts friendly but is moody

Shen Wei from Guardian

A mysterious humanities professor and the Male Lead of Guardian

Pined for one man for, like, 1,000 years (simp)

A really good teacher who loves his students

Very devoted but masks his true feelings

Also just terrifying to everyone except Zhao Yunlan bc of his job

[web-novel-polls]

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: suicide, violence, death, murder mention

Hua Cheng / San Lang from Heaven Official’s Blessing

Submission: he's my boy, my blorbo, my big fav, i can't believe he wasn't on the list yet 

Ahhhhhhhhh, we love a sassy devoted love interest in this house

Devoted himself to Xie Lian for 800+ years before they properly met and was one of the only people who actually listened to how Xie Lian wanted to be “worshipped” / treated as a god 

“The one standing in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is ‘you’ and not the state of you.”

“To watch with your own eyes your beloved be trampled and ridiculed, yet unable to do anything. That’s the worse suffering in the world.”

“If I could, I would have you use me as your stepping stone, the bridge you take apart after crossing, the corpse bones you need to trample to climb up, the sinner who deserved the butchering of a million knives. But I know you wouldn’t allow it.”

“Your Highness, I am forever your most devoted believer.”

“...I don’t care if anyone else is disappointed. But to some, the very existence of a certain person in this world is in itself hope.”

His handwriting is HORRIBLE. He literally tattooed Xie Lian’s name on his arm, and NO ONE KNEW because of how bad his handwriting is. 

His communication array password is so embarrassing Xie Lian assumes that pretty much no one wants to say it (and that may be the point) 

Xue Yang from the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation

Submission: I love him he's so fucked up. Nobody's doing it like him (simultaneously affectionate and derogatory)

A morally corrupt person with such a compelling story you can’t help but look at him like a train wreck. He’s simultaneously such a bad person you can’t look away and a kicked puppy who doesn’t know shit

Plays house with the man whose best friend he blinded (which led to Xiao Xingchen giving up his own eyes) while making him kill innocent people as well as said best friend. Freaks out when Xiao Xingchen kills himself but still refuses to admit he was fond of him, even as he tries to get Wei Wuxian to fix Xiao Xingchen’s shattered soul. 

He honestly reminds me of Mo Ran from The Husky and His White Cat Shizun if he didn’t have a redemption arc, and Chu Wanning didn’t accept him (though the stories are a bit different)

Side A

Yue Wuhuan from Mistakenly Saving the Villain

A villain saved by the MC who is focused on revenge. The story seems to focuses on trauma recovery from his life as a s*x slave and handles mental health pretty well 

Technically a “yandere” character, but the Novel Updates reviews describe his possessiveness and dark thoughts as byproducts of his trauma that he heals from, realizing that he shouldn’t be thinking of the MC that way and growing

“Our ML’s journey embodies a major theme of MSTV, which is about redemption and rebirth. His tragic past shaped him into a cunning, ruthless, manipulative, and obsessive individual. His past and continuing struggle will make your hearts break. It’s a difficult and painful journey of overcoming past trauma, letting go, and subsequently achieving freedom and happiness.” - blackkoi on NU

Yan Hao from Vicious Male Counterpart Isn’t Competing Anymore

Submission: He’s p cute

Yan Hao was jealous of and competed with his younger brother, who seemed to be loved more by their parents. After he dies, however, he realizes he was a villain meant to contrast his kind younger brother and be slapped by the male protagonist. Once he’s reborn, he decides to ignore his brother entirely

“High IQ, low EQ” - Sugaminny on Novel Updates

Honestly, the story sounds super cute and interesting. Yan Hao seems to be a character “hated by everyone” in his past life who can’t figure out how to be loved but does love others a lot, especially in his second life. Skite on NU describes him as autistic and villainized due to his neurodivergency / attempts to be loved and praised (their review words it better, but it sounds super interesting). 

Xiao Chiye from Qiang Jin Jiu

Submission: Also an absolutely insane character but somehow not as deranged as his husband, shen zechuan, although he comes pretty damn close. i just wanna cause problems by putting them in the same poll 

“VERY cocky and arrogant (sexy of him), but also an extremely talented leader and fighter” - QJJ Carrd

Initially kicks Shen Zechuan, the MC, due to SZC’s father’s treason, but starts to fall in love with him (Enemies → Lovers)

Shen Zechuan from Qiang Jin Jiu

Submission: he just serves absolute cunt and is absolutely insane. like we joke about characters being crazy but shen zechuan is the 1st one where ive paused reading and said outloud oh bitch you are absolutely out of your mind. Give it up for ruthless chronically ill schemers with a sense of loyalty so strong it becomes a fatal flaw and who are also at all times 100% devoted to the ppl they care about

The son of the Prince of Jianxing, who betrays the empire out of cowardice, that must survive when his entire family is to be killed for treason. There’s actually a scene at the beginning of him losing his brother in a battle and (I believe) returning to realize his father has run away

Another of the “chronically ill schemers” type and incredibly ruthless when necessary

Refuses to die or despair; he WILL survive and will turn things around - fate can be damned

Wang Zhi from Fourteenth Year of Chenghua

Submission: Wang Zhi is the emperor's eunuch-assassin who spends the entire book and show crashing the main character's brunches. There's a scene where someone gets confused because they can't fathom why Wang Zhi would show up at someone's house if it's not to murder them. In the series he has a tiny gun. 

Gu Mang from Stains of Filth / Yuwu

Submission: He’s my little guy

He’s the tragic ML who betrayed the MC while also being the biggest fucking clown / the comedic relief

He truly believes he’s a fucking wolf at one point. 

Essentially, Gu Mang was a slave in Murong Lian’s household, which led him to meet the MC, Mo Xi, who is a noble of similar standing to the Murong clan. He eventually becomes the General-in-Chief of the Wangba Army (later renamed to the Northern Frontier Army bc it was a funny name) and fights for the Chonghua Empire. However, since the Wangba Army was made of slaves, not a single of his fellow soldiers were given a proper burial, which - along with other reasons - led to Gu Mang defecting to an enemy nation (that also killed Mo Xi’s father and may or may not be cannibals).  

The story begins when said enemy nation trades Gu Mang back to Chonghua as a prisoner of war with parts of his soul gone, causing him to believe he’s a majestic blue wolf. The summary is a tiny bit misleading, albeit not wrong - “they’ve slept together before” is actually more “they slept together multiple times while Mo Xi, at the very least, is incredibly in love with Gu Mang.”  

Gu Mang’s also pretty funny, even with his memories gone, albeit the inherent tragedy is overwhelming. Idc what “evils” he committed… the Lotus Pavilion thing or whatever was fucked up. The author is so brutal to him, and for what? Funsies? (<--mainly joking, but it’s a SAD story… I’ve cried so many times) 

Anyway, Gu Mang Did Not Deserve This 2023 

Yan Zhengming from Liu Yao: the Revitalization of Fuyao Sect 

Submission: Winner of the award for highest number of times I’ve called a man a “pretty princess” 

Apparently has a fantastic character development into the Sect Leader (I’m not that far), but he’s also just a pretty princess <2

He’s the eldest disciple of Han Muchun / Fuyao Sect who was born into a rich family. He ran away at age seven and became Han Muchun’s first apprentice/disciple. He’s similar to a spoiled young master character, but he doesn’t really bully anyone; he may try to bully/clash with Cheng Qian, but I don’t think he wins (been a while since I started it - he’s like 15, and Cheng Qian is ~9-10 at this point) 

“Strict with others but lenient on himself” → responsible Sect Leader pipeline, More at 10 pm

Side B 

Wenren È from Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know

The MC of Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know, Wenren È, finds a book that details the world around him where he’s the second male lead / love interest who dies to protect the Female Lead / protagonist. He is not in love with her, and he can’t imagine dying for her as is; he also doesn’t understand why his subordinate, who supposedly likes her as well, tried to kill her after his death. I think he’s tasked with addressing readers’ concerns with the novel, but there’s also a lot more going on lol

Submission 1: unhinged, no idea what romance is, has a feral dog with rabies for a boyfriend and thinks that boyfriend is super cute. Also, middle aged man. I love middle aged men.

Submission 2: Because Look, he is trying to get two characters to fall in love for Important Plot reasons and a: him and his main Minion have to look up what love is like in the shitty romance novels they're characters in, and then b: decide to make the two characters fall in love through the Cunning Use of Bugs. Also he got a copy of the book he is a character in, found out his fate, and was like I Think The Fuck Not. 

He also has pretty good morals, if not personality. He’s a much better guy than I expected him to be tbh 

Song Qingshi from Mistakenly Saving the Villain

A medical student who chooses to transmigrate into a sad Danmei novel to save the protagonist. He does not save the protagonist - he saves a cannon fodder villain named Yue Wuhuan. 

“Has a lack of understanding of social situations/an odd personality” - past submission (Danmei Tournament)

Very intelligent but dense to love and s*x; book smart; passionate about what he likes

Yin Hanjiang from Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know

Submission 1: He’s my little scrunkly

Submission 2: He’s my evil wife.

Yin Hanjiang is the second-in-command of the current Demon Lord Wenren È and the fourth male lead of Abusive Romance: You are the Unchanging One in My Heart, a novel Wenren È reads. In the novel, Yin Hanjiang blackens and tries to kill the female lead after Wenren È’s death. 

You would think Wenren È would be the craziest mf in this story, but it is, in fact, Yin Hanjiang. In the original novel, he tortured/chased the FL for quite a while to the point of being one of - if not the most - hated villains in the story; he was originally masked and revealed in a completely unseen twist, I believe. 

He was saved by Wenren È as a child and is obsessed with him, although their relationship changes more to friends than boss-subordinate WAY before they get together. 

Wu Xi from Lord Seventh / Qi Ye 

Submission: He is the roundworm in my stomach

Qi Ye tells the story of Prince Jing Beiyuan’s seventh life, which is a repeat of his first life. Wu Xi is the Great Shaman’s Shamanet and the Empire’s captive from Nanjiang who did not appear in Jing Beiyuan’s first life. 

From what I remember, he uses something similar to magic to make a court official become aroused / see a beautiful woman and embarrass himself in front of the entire court. As a child. 

He also has a vast array of dangerous and venomous animals, one of which he gifts to Jing Beiyuan after they become friends. 

Li Yu from Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish 

Submission: He’s infuriating and I love him, also helped create equal rights in ancient china

Li Yu transmigrated into a carp tasked with stealing a mute tyrant’s heart (by the system). He does not know how he’s supposed to do this, but the tyrant - Mu Tianchi - is waiting for him to transform into a human, already in love(?) with him.

The reviews on Novel Updates are… mainly unflattering… but he appears to be a naive and sweet character with in a fluffy love story with the ML, Mu Tianchi 

An Zhe from Little Mushroom 

Submission 1: honest to god, he’s just a little mushroom

Submission 1: he’s just a little mushroom

An optimistic mushroom mutated into a human trying to find his stolen spores

“An Zhe is the only person who wholeheartedly believes in Lu Feng [the ML]” - Carrd 

Cui Buqu from Peerless

Submission: He’s mean, he’s disabled and unapologetic about it, he’s a genius and all his braincells escape him when faced with his rival, he’s a secret agent and has no martial arts, he’s deeply in love and will never say so unless pushed, he will liken his rival to his sun and then tell him he’s the most annoying person he’s ever met. He’s a bastard little fox <3 

Helian Yi from Lord Seventh / Qi Ye 

Qi Ye tells the story of Prince Jing Beiyuan’s seventh life, which is a repeat of his first life. All of his first five lives have been tied to Helian Yi - he helped him ascend the throne in their first life, he was an insect crushed by Helian Yi in his second life, he was a beloved dog killed to feed Helian Yi’s family in his third life, he was a neglected jasmine plant in his fourth life, he was a fox skinned by Helian Ye in his fifth life - but in the first and seventh lives, Helian Yi’s the Crown Prince of the Jin Empire while Jing Beiyuan is the Prince Nan’ning (a title; he’s not related to Helian Yi as far as I know). In their seventh life, Helian Yi seems to be treating him very well (from what I’ve read), but he’s not the love interest. 

He’s also in Faraway Wanderers (for, like, one chapter) and technically is Prince Jin in Word of Honor (but they’re pretty much completely different characters). Zhou Zishu is his most trusted aid who formed Heaven’s Window and then left. 

Idk, I haven’t gotten that far in Qi Ye; he sounds like the villain, but he’s really just Sad - Idk if he’s in love with Jing Beiyuan or what, but he’s SAD, okay? From what I can tell, he cares for Jing Beiyuan but can’t be with him because of his position as Crown Prince, but don’t quote me on that

“In that instant, Helian Yi suddenly wanted to take him into his arms, suddenly wanted to wholly throw out and disregard the home, nation, and world that weighed down on his mind and body, no longer brooding on and wishing for a liaison he didn’t dare to have. He wanted to say, from now on, come earthly blades of wind and swords of frost, I will do everything I can to block them or you. There is only one person in this life and this world for me, even without this extensive, partially mountainous, mostly oceanic king’s land.” - Source
