The core protagonists of "Chang Geng Snow Remains" are the following two people, and their bond is the main thread running through the story:
- Shen Yanzhi: The sword-handling elder of Kunlun Ruins. He has profound spiritual practice and a cool personality that hides extreme persistence. Because of his encounter with Xuan Che five hundred years ago, he was burdened with an obsession that transcended life and death. In order to find Xuan Che, he would not hesitate to break into the land of reincarnation, and he would not hesitate to give up his cultivation and memory. His growth line revolves around "letting go of the shackles of the righteous path and facing the deep feelings in your heart".
- Xuan Che: A descendant of the ancient Bai Ze, who transformed into a young man with white clothes and golden eyes. He was ignorant and pure in the early stage, and had a natural dependence and possessiveness on Shen Yanzhi. In order to save Shen Yanzhi, he destroyed his inner elixir and lost his soul. After the remnant soul returned, he lost his memory. In the reunion with Shen Yanzhi, he gradually regained the bonds of the past. The revelation of his identity and the recovery of his memory are important plot driving forces.
The two, one fairy and one demon, from the temptation of their first encounter to their dependence on life and death, to their reunion and redemption in reincarnation, form the core emotional tension of the story.
Intention: From the temptation of the first encounter to the dependence of life and death, to the reunion and redemption in reincarnation.
