**Liu Ming (柳鸣)** is the main character of the series' **Demon's Diary (Mo Tian Ji, 魔天记),** created by famed Chinese author **Wang Yu (忘语)**.

## Appearance

At the beginning it said he was of a common appearance

## Personality

Just like his talent for multitasking, Liu Ming's youth made him have two sides, one scholarly and one brutal. The later came from his harsh childhood in the savage island. He learned a lot in order to survive there as a child : whether it was when to be low key, or how to be ruthless and how to stay calm in times of crisis. The former originated from his upbringing as the son of an administrative official. This differentiates him from the usual rash criminals, as he was taught how to read ancient texts by his father and continued to learn much knowledge from the suprisingly educated people imprisoned in Savage Island.

His greatest strengths that helped him progress in his cultivation, apart from his superior mental power, are his resistance to pain and his hardworking nature that was only reinforced by his multitasking talent.

## Background

Liu Ming was originally the son of a prefect called Liu Yangzong. His mother had died while giving birth and his father was strict, making him learn and memorize ancient texts despite his very young age.

He barely survived on the island of prisoners before it sank 7 years later into the ocean. Liu Ming managed to escape and reach land, only to be pursued by the knights of his country who were tasked to eliminate the surviving prisoners. By a stroke of luck, he met two servants who had failed to protect their master, the young heir of the Bai Clan who had just been killed by bandits. The two servants, fearing the wrath of the Clan Leader, allowed the similar looking Liu Ming to replace the deceased Bai Chongtia. This gave Liu Ming the opportunity to participate in the Opening Ceremony for the Barbarian Ghost Sect, which marked the begining of his life as a cultivator.
