**Lang Qianqiu** (郎千秋, *Láng Qiān Qiū*), titled as **General Tai Hua** (泰华将军, *Tài Huá Jiāngjun*), is the Martial God of the East. He was the crown prince of the Yong'an Kingdom during its golden age and a student of Fang Xin, the former State Preceptor of Yong'an.

## Appearance

Lang Qianqiu is a handsome youth with stars for eyes, thick sword-like eyebrows and the unconcealable aura of a hero. He's covered in armor as most Martial Gods are, but instead of increasing his fierceness it emphasizes his air of nobility.

As a daruma doll, he is very round like a squash with black brows and expression like a tiger. It carried a sword on its back, looking angry and very cute.

He used to be a carefree child who prefer to run laps rather than study. He didn't uphold the common sense and the societal expectations of the masses and strongly upheld his personal sense of justice due to his belief in his teacher's doctrine. These traits carried over to adulthood even after he ascended.

Lang Qianqiu is genuine to the point of naivete, as shown by his refusal to use Xie Lian to deceive Hua Cheng. In order to uphold this sense of justice and righteousness, Lang Qianqiu could become extremely reckless, as shown by how he'd break his own arm to even the fighting ground against an incapacitated enemy and rush to a an enemy's stronghold to stop a father selling his own daughter's fate.

This reckless bravery borne of righteousness blinds him to even a disadvantageous battle. He is also straightforward and obtuse in many people's eyes due to believing in his own morality beyond that of the masses'. As a Heavenly Official, he is known to be optimistic and cheerful, pure of heart and soul. He never played mind games or make things difficult for anyone.

Despite his pureness, Lang Qianqiu is prideful due to his status as a major Martial God and a crown prince. He would be angered at insults toward his honor and any attempts to disrespect him.

Later on his sense of justice was severely challenged by the revelation of the truth behind the Gilded Banquet Massacre. He became so consumed with hatred and vengeance that he would even torture his enemies to death. After this he hardened into a more cynical, colder man.

However, at the end it was shown though his sense of justice and compassion remains as he would try to restore his nemesis Qi Rong for the sake of Gu Zi.
