Who's who
- Ye Li (Bai Lu): granddaughter of Lishan Academy's head, trapped at Lishan for eight years after the court turned on it. Calm in public, ruthless in private, and carrying more trauma than she shows.
- Mo Xiuyao (Ryan Cheng): Prince Ding, who uses a wheelchair when the story starts. He reads Ye Li's schemes early because he is running his own.
- Mo Jingli (Cai Zhengjie): Prince Li, Ye Li's childhood companion and former fiancé. He hides behind a reputation as an opera-mad playboy while building toward a coup.
- Ye Ying (Yang Shuyi): Ye Li's half-sister, who marries Prince Li and only learns late what he is.
- Guo Jin (Dong Jie): the Empress Dowager, who rules for the young emperor and is the power behind the Lishan persecution.
- Zhou Jing (Yu Jinwei): the Marquis of Muyang, the minister Ye Li has to bring down first.
- Xu Qingyun (Hou Changrong): Ye Li's grandfather and head of Lishan Academy.
- Han Mingxi (Lin Muran): an assassin from the Tianyi Pavilion.
- Qingshuang (Feng Xueya): Ye Li's loyal maid, always at her side.
- Li Feibai (Zhang Shulun): a Ye family guard.
- Mo Yanqi (Xu Weiluo): the young emperor, whom Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao help into real power.
