## Family

### Yue Juntian

Yue Juntian is Jiang Yexue's father. They had a good relationship at first, as Yue Juntian once drunkenly exclaimed that he would have Jiang Yexue succeed him as the head of the clan. However, after Yue Juntian's marriage with Murong Huang and the birth of Yue Chenqing, Jiang Yexue along with his mother lost Yue Juntian's favor, and so Yue Juntian started to treat them with disdain. Yue Juntian once beat him with his holy weapon after Jiang Yexue expressed his dissatisfaction for the first time.

After Jiang Yexue obtained the position of an elder at the Cultivation Academy, Yue Juntian demanded that he be ousted from the academy and succeeded, but Jiang Yexue managed to get the position back after someone advised the Headmaster to.

### Xie Lanyi

Xie Lanyi is Jiang Yexue's mother. They shared a deep relationship with one another for the first few years of Jiang Yexue's childhood; however, things started to go downhill after Murong Huang married into the Yue Family. Their relationship turned abusive, with Xie Lanyi often cursing him out and refusing to let him sleep in her pavilion. After Yue Chenqing was born, Xie Lanyi started to abuse him physically.

### Yue Chenqing

Yue Chenqing is Jiang Yexue's younger half-brother. When Yue Chenqing was young, the two had a particularly good relationship with each other, but as Yue Chenqing grew more attached to Murong Chuyi, he grew to dislike Jiang Yexue as well because of him. Even though Yue Chenqing treats Jiang Yexue as an outsider, Jiang Yexue does not resent him for this and continues to treat him nicely, shown by when he gives Yue Chenqing his blood to heal him.

***This section contains spoilers!***
In reality, Jiang Yexue does not like Yue Chenqing at all. He hated him because Yue Chenqing got to live a life without struggle, and so he didn't hesitate at all when he tried to kill him at Huntian Cave.

### Murong Chuyi

Murong Chuyi is Jiang Yexue's adoptive uncle. They were raised together, had an extremely close relationship, and Jiang Yexue also lived in Murong Chuyi's courtyard after his mother kicked him out of her pavilion. After a particular event, their relationship sours, and Murong Chuyi does not hold back on expressing his hatred for Jiang Yexue. Despite this, Jiang Yexue treats Murong Chuyi with kindness.

It is later revealed that the two are half-brothers who are related through Yue Juntian. Without knowing this, Jiang Yexue grew romantic feelings for Murong Chuyi, and even kissed him while he was treating his wounds. However, Murong Chuyi did not reciprocate his feelings at all, and stopped acknowledging Jiang Yexue altogether. After this event, Jiang Yexue's feelings slowly grew more obsessive and twisted.

A few years later, Jiang Yexue would force a demonic curse on Murong Chuyi, and made it so that if Chuyi were to develop a close relationship with anyone other than him, the other person would be poisoned. Another part of the curse made Murong Chuyi experience agonizing pain every month during the new moon, and that the only cure was to either have Chuyi drink his blood, or to take high quality Zhenxin Herb.

### Qin Mujin

Qin Mujin is Jiang Yexue's wife. She died in their first battle against the Liao Kingdom shortly after they married.

***This section contains spoilers!***
In reality, Jiang Yexue never genuinely loved Qin Mujin and vice versa. He only persevered in marrying her as he knew that she was assigned to watch him by the emperor. He neglects her memorial tablet after she dies.

## Allies

### Mo Xi

Jiang Yexue and Mo Xi used to be comrades while they both served in the army. They would often fight together on all frontiers. The year Jiang Yexue married Qin Mujin, Mo Xi gifted them a small courtyard in a calm and secluded part of the north of Chonghua's capital.

## Neutral

### Gu Mang

Jiang Yexue and Gu Mang also used to be comrades while they both served in the army. They would often fight together on all frontiers. After Gu Mang's betrayal, Jiang Yexue says that he can not bring himself to hate him, and is one of the few people who do not ridicule him for his traitor status.

### Lan'er

Jiang Yexue takes Lan'er in as a disciple after her heart-madness disease flares up again in order to prevent her from being expelled from the Cultivation Academy. She is helpful, and often took the initiative to help push Jiang Yexue's wheelchair, to which Jiang Yexue says *"It's like I've picked up half a little wheelchair."*

***This section contains spoilers!***
The real and only reason why Jiang Yexue took Lan'er in as a disciple is to use absorb her spiritual core's spiritual energy for his scheme. He used the energy to heal his legs, allowing him to be able to walk again. He also uses her as his puppet.

Jiang Yexue does not like Lan'er at all as he disliked little children, especially the crybaby kind, because it irritated him.

### Murong Chen

Jiang Yexue used to be Murong Chen's right hand man. They studied black magic techniques together, and he also did the emperor's bidding, such as using the Zhenlong Chess Formation on Lu Zhanxing at the Battle at Phoenix Cry Mountain because Murong Chen promised to make him the head of the Yue Family in return. However, after Gu Mang entered the Liao Kingdom's inner circle as a spy, Jiang Yexue was cast away by the emperor as he was no longer needed by him.

To get back at him, Jiang Yexue secretly told him that he had long since set up more than over a hundred magical tools and that if he were to die in a scheme linked to him, the tools would be triggered and reveal the emperor's dark secrets to Chonghua. Because of this, the emperor panicked and got him a position in the Cultivation Academy as an elder after he was kicked out of the Yue Family and made sure that he maintained his position there.
