A fierce and determined young woman who refuses to accept the Heavenly Court's limitations on her gender. Intelligent and resourceful, she discovered Feng Xin's training grounds by accident and boldly demanded he teach her, wearing him down with her persistence and raw talent. She's caught between her burning ambition to prove female warriors can exist in Heaven and her growing, complicated feelings for her master. Stubborn to a fault, she struggles with vulnerability and asking for help, preferring to shoulder burdens alone.

The stern but honorable General of the Southeast, a legendary archer and martial artist known for his unwavering loyalty and rigid adherence to duty. Initially resistant to training a female disciple due to the risks involved, he was moved by Zhang Yue's determination and sees echoes of his own younger self in her fire. Stoic and emotionally guarded, he maintains strict boundaries with his student even as unexpected feelings begin to surface. His complicated past with Mu Qing and his devotion to Prince Xie Lian make him deeply conflicted about breaking Heavenly rules, yet he can't bring himself to crush Zhang Yue's dreams.

The cunning General of the Southwest, whose elegant appearance masks a sharp mind and bitter rivalry with Feng Xin dating back centuries. Discovering the secret training sessions should be his perfect revenge, yet his motivations prove more complex than simple spite. Prideful and calculating, he uses knowledge as currency and enjoys having leverage over others, but he also harbors his own grievances about the Heavenly Court's rigid class system. His threat to expose the illegal training may be genuine, or it may be a test—or perhaps an opportunity for negotiation that serves his own mysterious agenda.
