Cast:
Hu Ge as Jing Tian/Long Yang/Fei Peng:
Jing Tian is a youth with no worries and acts as if he doesn't have a care in the world. His first adventure in this drama was to help defeat the enemies of Tang Stronghold with Xue Jian, the 'supposed' granddaughter of the Tang Chief. Although he appears to be uncaring, he is actually a really selfless person, as shown later on in the drama episodes. He falls in love with Xue Jian but refuses to admit it until the last half of the drama, when Xue Jian was hurt by Evil Sword Immortal. He discovered his whole history throughout the drama, his previous lives being Long Yang, the Prince of Jiang and the great general of the Celestial Realm, Fei Peng, who was the 'lover' of Xi Yao, a fairy guarding a sacred fruit tree.
Yang Mi as Tang Xue Jian/Xi Yao:
Both Xue Jian and Jing Tian own a piece of jade, depicting the same picture in opposite ways to each, so that when put together, make a whole, which was the beginning of their fates being entwined. Xue Jian previously had a tiny crush on Shu Shan disciple Chang Qing, but ultimately falls for Jing Tian due to his lively nature and their numerous adventures together. She thought she was the precious grand daughter of Chief Tang, but is revealed that she is actually an orphan, and that Chief Tang was not her real grand father. She also discovers that she was actually born from a celestial fruit tree, sent down to Earth to look for the reincarnation of General Fei Peng, which is Jing Tian. During her adventures, she comes to realise that Jing Tian is not the person she first thought him to be.
Liu Shi Shi as Long Kui
Long Kui is the undying Princess of Jiang from a thousand years ago, who was sealed into the Demonic Sword when she jumped into the kiln. The curse would only be broken when she reunited with the reincarnation of her Imperial Older Brother, Long Yang, which is the previous life of Jing Tian. During her long wait for Jing Tian to discover her, she was bullied in the Demon Locking Pagoda, so she had to find a way to protect herself-thus the red version of herself emerged as her guard. For the first half of the drama, Long Kui is oblivious to the fact that she has another 'self' on her-the red self, which appears when she is threatened or Jing Tian is threatened. She is very possesive of Jing Tian, and sometimes tries to harm Xue Jian by colluding with Evil Sword Immortal, but always regrets it afterwards due to the sadness of Jing Tian. In the end, she dies by sacrificing herself to the sword to help Jing Tian defeat Evil Sword Immortal.
