### Murong Huang

Murong Huang is Murong Chuyi's adoptive sister and his benefactor. He was found by Murong Huang abandoned at a temple when he was a newborn. She took him in and raised him as her adoptive brother, giving him the first name "Chuyi".

### Yue Chenqing

Yue Chenqing is Murong Chuyi's nephew by multiple counts. He acts cold towards him, ignoring Yue Chenqing's affection and often scolding him.

Yue Chenqing is also Murong Chuyi's half-brother, as they both are revealed to have the same father: Yue Juntian. Although Chuyi acts cold towards him for the majority of the novel, he still holds affection for him that he only shows just before he dies.

### Chu Lian

Chu Lian, the elder sister of "Auntie Lin" or Lady Chu, was forced into bearing a son by Yue Juntian. She wrote a crooked "Chu" (楚, *Chǔ*) on a scrap of paper, hid it inside of Murong Chuyi's swaddling clothes, and abandoned him soon after at a temple to be found by Murong Huang.

### Yue Juntian

Yue Juntian and Murong Huang were on rough terms, with Yue Juntian being one of her main stressors during her pregnancy. Ever since Murong Huang's death, which was caused by the stress from Yue Juntian and a woman whom he had trouble with causing trouble for Murong Huang on her due date, Murong Chuyi never let go of the tragedy since. After he became a powerful artificer, Yue Juntian has tried to "break the ice", to no avail.

Yue Juntian is later revealed to be Murong Chuyi's father. He is famous for his womanizing behavior, as remarked in Chapters 163-164, wherein the two Chu sisters were captured by Yue Juntian and delivered back to Chonghua's capital for his pleasure. He bore a son, Chuyi, by Chu Lian, but was unknown to this information after throwing the sisters out.

### Jiang Yexue

Jiang Yexue is related to Murong Chuyi in way of being adoptive nephew and uncle. He was raised alongside Murong Chuyi, but the two were separated by consideration of status in that Murong Chuyi was adopted into the royal family and Jiang Yexue was born to Xie Lanyi, a concubine to Yue Juntian.

However, it is revealed later on that the two are related by Yue Juntian, and still, Jiang Yexue would force a demonic curse upon Murong Chuyi to poison anyone that would get too close to him. This event forced Murong Chuyi into seclusion and to develop a cold exterior in order to avoid poisoning others.

### Gu Mang

Despite Gu Mang's status as a traitor, Murong Chuyi and Gu Mang have a neutral relationship, as he helped Gu Mang catch fish back at Peach Blossom Lake as payment for being given the Zhenxin Herb that he requested him to get.

It is later revealed that he is related to Gu Mang maternally. Both of them bear the lotus flower marks of the Chu Family on their bodies.
