Gu Changge/Relationships

**SPOILER WARNING!**

## Family

### Gu Lintian (Father)

Gu Lintian dotes on his son to the point of allowing Gu Changge to steal the Dao Bone from Gu Xian'er when they were young so he can hide his Demonic Nature. Throughout the story, he expresses concern and pride in everything Gu Changge does, including when he stood toe-to-toe with Chu Hao who was a Sacred King at the time. Similarly, Gu Changge has a spot for his father and has never expressed any ill intentions towards the latter.

### Mother Gu (Mother)

Gu Changge cares a great deal for his parents. Despite walking a treacherous path against the heavens, Gu Changge intends to keep his family and friends away from danger as much as possible, naturally including her mother. Changge's mother knew of his Devil Heart and had kept it hidden as best as she could, showing her love for him.

### Gu Xian'er (Cousin)

Gu Xian'er hated Gu Changge for taking her Dao Bone away when they were young, which then led to the exile of her family. Since then, her parents had lived at the Shen Clan and Gu Xian'er found herself at the Peach Village where she received guidance from the masters there. Ever since returning to the scene, Gu Xian'er gradually realises how Gu Changge seems to have an underlying motive of doing so ten years ago and that he never intended her any harm. Over time, Gu Xian'er began to forgive him and took a special care of his well-being after knowing of his Devil Heart.

Although their good relationship came from an act Gu Changge set in place, he does gradually genuinely care for Gu Xian'er.

### Gu Lang (Ancestor)

Gu Lang is an ancestor of the same bloodline as Gu Changge. Despite their lack of interactions, the two have a fairly good relationship as Gu Lang deems Gu Changge an exceptional heir.

### Gu Wuwang (Ancestor)

Gu Wuwang initially was wary of Gu Changge after knowing his identity as the Demon Lord. However, he eventually decides to cooperate with Gu Changge in establishing the Heaven Slaying Alliance as it does have benefits for him which co-aligned with his goal in residing at the Prosperous Dao Realmverse. Gu Wuwang developed a mixed of fear and respect for Gu Changge after understanding the sheer prowess he has, which Gu Wuwang compared to with the True Ancestor of the Gu Family.

### Shen Xian'er (Cousin)

Initially, Shen Xian'er had a subtle despise for Gu Changge after she learned of what he did to her sister, Gu Xian'er. However, after breaking off her engagement with Li Xiu and witnessing his actions in person, Shen Xian'er began to have a change of heart. Later, when Gu Xian'er went missing, under the instructions of her parents, she went to Gu Changge to ask for his help. When Gu Changge mentioned that Gu Xian'er is in no imminent danger, and that they should not worry, Shen Xian'er developed respect for him.

### Father Gu (Uncle)

Gu Xian'er and Shen Xian'er's father was exiled from the family after Gu Xian'er's Dao Bone was taken away. Since then, they have lived in the Shen Clan, still furious with what Gu Changge did despite Gu Xian'er's best attempt at telling them the why's of his actions. Although worried that Gu Xian'er was in danger, he does not have the courage to ask Gu Changge himself. Instead, he opted to sending his daughter.

### Mother Shen (Aunt)

Gu Xian'er and Shen Xian'er's mother was exiled from the family after Gu Xian'er's Dao Bone was taken away. Since then, they have lived in the Shen Clan where she came from. Still furious with what Gu Changge did, Mother Shen had not forgiven him despite Gu Xian'er's persuasion. Although worried that Gu Xian'er was in danger, she does not have the courage to ask Gu Changge. Instead, she opted to sending her daughter.

## Lovers

### Yue Mingkong (Wife)

Yue Mingkong is a reincarnator, who Gu Changge have killed on her previous life on their wedding night. After coming back to life, Yue Mingkong desired for revenge against him. But along the journey of her revenge, she began to notice the subtle changes on Gu Changge, which made her waver. Gradually, Yue Mingkong dropped her quest for revenge and wholeheartedly supported Gu Changge's every endeavor, even if it meant having the whole world turn against her.

Gu Changge fell in love with her and married her.

### Jiang Chuchu (Divine Concubine)

Jiang Chuchu was the first outsider to know of Gu Changge's secret identity. He then captured and imprisoned her inside of his Inner Universe, where she was defiled for information. While he took her out occasionally, it was only until Gu Changge made her witness the gruesome death of Jiang Yang, the Human Ancestor's reincarnation, that he set her free. After the founding of True Immortal Academy, Jiang Chuchu began to develop genuine feelings for him who have consistently appeared to save her in times of need. She proved her love by supporting him as the Human Ancestor and turning her back on the teachings of the Ancestral Hall.

Gu Changge eventually returned her feelings and married Chuchu after his wedding with Yue Mingkong.

### Yin Mei (Divine Concubine).

Originally enslaved by Gu Changge when he was still influenced by the Devil Heart, Yin Mei was later set free. Since then, she had helped Gu Changge out of her own volition. Yin Mei handled the menial tasks of gathering resources and intel for Gu Changge, while also proving her competence in other areas. She openly stated her feelings by opposing Yue Mingkong. Later, Yin Mei was given the task of managing the Dark Heavenly Court and the Kingdom of Gods.

Gu Changge married her after marrying Jiang Chuchu, as she had helped him tremendously.

### Su Qingge (Concubine)

Gu Changge brought her from Azure Lower Realm to the Upper Realm, where he left her off with his mother to learn more about the Demoness residing by her soul. Later, when he found out that she was the Inheritor of Demonic Arts, Gu Changge decidedly covered up her tracks and helped her in crucial times to ensure she would remain a scapegoat for him so he can cover his identity. Su Qingge is deeply infatuated by Gu Changge that she personally hunted down those who wronged him like the Successor of Immortal War Sect.

After figuring out the truth from Chan Hongyi, Su Qingge developed detestment towards Gu Changge, believing that her entire life was a lie. When she calmed down, Su Qingge secluded herself from the path of cultivation and resided on a inconspicous village. During Gu Changge's journey of walking the path of Mortal Dao, he found himself at the same village. They lived together like a pair of normal couple, doing honest work day and night. Eventually, when Gu Changge allowed his memory to return, he expressed his genuine feelings to her.

### Xiao Rouyin (Concubine)

She deeply respected and admired Gu Changge after the latter had allowed her freedom in the Upper Realm and had taught her the methods of cultivation. Coming from a technologically advanced Lower Realm, Xiao Ruoyin is shrewd and brave, to the point of reckless, that she freely conversed with Gu Changge. She mistakenly thought this was the reason why he paid more attention to her.

After awakening memories of her past life, Xiao Rouyin began to fear Gu Changge. Understanding later that she can not oppose him, Xiao Rouyin gave herself to him. Later, she does develop actual feelings for him and was taken in as a concubine, where she had several times offered to serve Gu Changge in bed.

### Hei Yanyu (Concubine)

Originally enslaved by Gu Changge, Hei Yanyu was given more or less the same tasks as Yin Mei, though she operated in other areas. Hei Yanyu has deep respect and admiration towards Gu Changge, serving him to her best ability. In accordance with her devotion, Gu Changge married her.

## Love Interests

### Yan Ji

Formerly the master of Fortuitous One Ye Chen, she cut off ties with her disciple after Ye Chen mistook her intentions as betrayal. Then, Gu Changge took her in and recovered her body. Yan Ji became Xiao Ruoyin's master under his orders. She developed respect and loyalty to Gu Changge for giving her freedom. Although she has interests in Gu Changge, the latter only sees her as a friend.

### Ye Liuli

Ye Liuli is the cousin of the now-deceased Fortuitous One, Ye Chen. When she adamantly protected him, even agreeing to a Slave Mark from Gu Changge, she was unfortunately unprepared for his tricks. Since then, Ye Liuli was enslaved by him, to which she gradually developed feelings for Gu Changge.

### Xi Yao

When they first met in the True Immortal Academy, Empress Xi Yao admired Gu Changge's otherworldly view in interpreting her goals and intentions of renewing the Demon Realm. After they parted ways, she had occasionally exchanged letters with Gu Changge to ask about his views. Later, when Gu Changge came to the Demon Realm, Xi Yao gave herself to him. Although she was happy of his marriage with Yue Mingkong, she was also jealous.

## Friends/Allies

### Li Ming (Servant)

Old Ming was appointed as Gu Changge's protector during his visit to the Azure Lower Realm due to Old Ming's familiarity with said realm, since he had ascended from there. Years ago, Li Ming was captured and enslaved after ascending to the Upper Realm. It was then that an elder of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family took notice of him and had set him free. Despite Lin Tian's blasphemous act, Gu Changge did not heavily blame the Lin Family, which made Old Ming deeply respected Gu Changge even more.

## Enemies

### Ye Chen

Ye Chen was a Favored Son of Heaven who opposed Su Qingge's betrothment to Gu Changge, and was an Inner Disciple of the Taixuan Sacred Land. He developed irreconcilable hatred to Gu Changge who had deeply humiliated him for taking away Su Qingge and face-slapping him in public. When Gu Changge later attempted to sway his master away, his hatred only grew stronger. Ye Chen eventually died at the hands of Gu Changge, unable to achieve his goals.

### Ye Ling

Ye Ling was the successor of Heavenly Emperor of Reincarnation. Due to Yue Mingkong's revelation of his identity, Gu Changge schemed against Ye Ling to plunder the inheritance away from him. Time and time again, Ye Ling was framed as the killer of Bai Lie and the Inheritor of The Demonic Arts. Ye Ling eventually died in Gu Changge's hands despite being so close to succeeding in his goal.

### Ying Shuang

Prince Ying Shuang's soul was exchanged with a servant of Yin Mei. During the time he took to familiarize himself with the new body, Gu Changge framed him of being the Inheritor of The Demonic Arts. Knowing full well his incapabilities and weaknesses, Ying Shuang secluded himself and did not address the issue. Despite his attempts to later cleanse his name, the doubts have already taken roots. Around the same time, his original body — now possessed by the real Ying Shuang — had already been killed.

Having assumed the accursed identity to keep his life, Ying Shuang was disguised by Elder Mo and taken to the True Immortal Academy under a guise. He eventually died at the hands of Gu Changge, though his death was obscured and falsified to trick others into thinking he was still alive.

### Jiang Yang

Jiang Yang was the reincarnation of Human Ancestor. Gu Changge took advantage of his now differing personality to exploit the relationship between him and Jiang Yaoyao to develop a rift between them. After being publicly humiliated, Jiang Yang began to hate Gu Changge to the bones. He spread out rumours of a forbidden place with innumerable treasures to lure Gu Changge, which he thought had worked. After entering the area himself, Jiang Yang found Gu Changge waiting for him, knowing his true identity. He died with Jiang Chuchu as a witness.

### Zhi Yang

Sky King Zhi Yang was the Purple Mansion's hope of nurturing a True Immortal. He was a reincarnator from the Forbidden Epoch who went against Gu Changge in an attempt to save Gu Xian'er, his junior sister of past life, from Gu Changge's hands. After consistently being humiliated by Gu Changge, he developed a deep hatred. When he found out about Gu Changge's true identity, Zhi Yang was unable to do anything as it was with no proof. He later died after being used as a bait to lure the powerful figures of Purple Mansion out into the open.

### Chu Hao

Chu Hao was an extremely fortuitous and talented individual, having reached the Sacred King Realm within only hundreds of years. After he attempted to save his friend, who had *mistakenly* attacked Gu Changge's maid, Chu Hao and Gu Changge immediately stood on opposite ends. He consistently developed plans to hinder and annoy Gu Changge, but to no avail. Later, Chu Hao became the leader of Supreme Cave Heaven and ventured into the depths of Eight Desolation Ten Regions realm in search for a treasure. Gu Changge eventually snatched it away and killed him.

### Jiang Chen

Having crossed worlds alongside his friends, Jiang Chen suddenly was able to talk to a Celestial Spirit Boat inside of him. After conversing with this treasure, Jiang Chen grew wary of Gu Changge. When they were later deemed unsuitable for cultivation and left outside, where they were hunted, Jiang Chen survived. Since then, he became Gu Changge's treasure seeker, be it to one of the Seven World Domination Tools or to the Human Ancestor of Hidden Ji Family. He eventually died after Xiao Rouyin told Gu Changge the methods of refining the Celestial Spirit Boat.
