Zhi Ming

Zhi Ming (執明 Zhí Míng) is the current King of Tianquan.

Personality
Zhi Ming is presented as a very naïve and childish young boy who hates anything related to politics and doesn't care about political matters at all. Instead, he is only interested in having fun and playing around, ignoring the constant scolding of his tutor, Weng Tong.

He becomes romantically obsessed with Murong Li after he is brought to the kingdom by Mo Lan. He insists on calling him "Ah-Li" (ah or a is a prefix used to refer to a dear or close person in China) and gives him gifts and pretty things in an attempt to win his affections. Despite his lack of seriousness, he has shown to have a good heart and honest personality. Murong Li believes that his lack of ambition is his only fault, seeing him as someone kind but extremely susceptible to the many dangers of the world.

However, in season two, after the death of his tutor (who he saw as a father figure) and his best friend Zi Yu, he becomes a cold and ruthless person with a strong desire for revenge.
