Background

Qi Rong is a Savage level ghost who is close to becoming a Supreme. Despite not being a ghost of the highest rank, he is still regarded as one of the Four Great Calamities, known as the Night-Touring Green Lantern During his mortal life, he was a maternal cousin of Xie Lian, bearing the title Prince Xiao Jing during his years as Xianle royalty. Once a fanatical Xie Lian worshipper, he was among the first to turn against him once the former's omnipotent persona began to collapse during the fall of Xianle Kingdom.

Appearance

Qi Rong is a good-looking young man who shares a resemblance to his cousin, Xie Lian. While not many of their features look alike, their noses, lips and the contours of their jaws are similar in shape. He has high, sharp brows and thin, slanted eyes. It's said that one could tell not to mess with him purely by looking at his face. Qi Rong's typical attire in Tian Guan Ci Fu includes robes, often depicted with a green color scheme. He is also known for wearing a red headband. One fanfic envisions Qi Rong becoming a Ghost King and wearing open robes inspired by Yan Wushi.  When he was around fifteen to sixteen years old, Qi Rong was finely-dressed with a light turquoise brocade and necklace. Once he had reached the age of seventeen to eighteen his face became broader, and he finally gained an air of nobility, appearing much more mature.

Personality

Qi Rong is an extremely crass, emotionally immature, vulgar person who is devoid of empathy. His crude personality proceeds him, with many people calling him crude and boorish over the centuries. He has grown to resent those kinds of insults, despite never making an effort to change his behaviour. He makes no attempts to control his emotions or anger. Typically yelling, spouting insults, throwing childish tantrums or simply being disrespectful to his surroundings, sometimes even finding his own sardonic remarks amusing and laughing maniacally. Qi Rong is also shown to be sarcastic at times. During a flashback of their childhood, Xie Lian speculates that the reason for Qi Rong's chaotic attitude might be rooted in his abusive childhood prior to his mother's return to the Palace of Xianle, noting reports that the latter's father, a former palace guard, began to exhibit his "true nature," revealing a personality similar to Qi Rong's soon after leaving the refined palace environment. His outrageous and immature actions he is subconsciously unaware of when to act how thus he would usually end up causing more trouble or making more enemies and haters around him causing him to be ignored by people including Xie Lian. He often acts spoiled and bratty, enraged when things don't go his way or him not getting what he wants. Especially in his younger years as a mortal, he was incredibly pampered and considered himself above those of lower status, such as Feng Xin and Mu Qing. While he doesn't seem to hold respect for anyone, he does fear certain people, such as Hua Cheng and Jun Wu. The only exception to his extreme lack of any kind of decency is Guzi. While he does mistreat him, he also does care about him and recognizes him as family.
