Shangguan Sun
The Head of the Shangguan Family, and father to a daughter, Shangguan Ying. Steady and reserved, he has gradually withdrawn from the Jianghu, sealing away the family heirloom, the "Golden-Backed Dragon King Blade", and for nearly ten years he has not crossed blades with anyone.
He first met when they were still children in pigtails. In those days Shangguan Sun was a spoiled young rake, and he often led his playmates in bullying her, so that came to dread him. When they grew up and he saw how had blossomed into a great beauty, he treated her as his private prize, again and again bringing pressure on the music house to hand her over. But the young Nangong Yuan rescued the beauty from the villain, winning her heart. Only then did Shangguan Sun realize the truth: she loathed him utterly.
So he turned over a new leaf for her sake, reining in his domineering temper, diligently practicing martial arts, reciting scriptures and worshiping the Buddha, and sending her countless rare treasures that even Nangong Yuan could not obtain, feigning that he shared Nangong Yuan's ideals, all to make his Beloved see him differently. Alas, in the end it was all a dream. From then on he gave up on love entirely and never married in his life; even Shangguan Ying's mother was nothing but a plaything in his palm.
Under orders from the Imperial Court, he secretly weakened the Tang Clan, and he is the man who set the Wulin to besieging the Tang Clan.
Love Life
The ever-collapsing domineering CEO persona- His feelings for are very complicated: possessiveness, recognition, admiration, love turned to hate, and the like.[1]
". You gave your heart to Nangong Yuan, your body to Wen Wuwei, and twenty years of friendship to . So give your life to me, as the price of buying my office. You owe me that."
- From then on Shangguan Sun gave up on love entirely and never married in his life; even Shangguan Ying's mother was nothing but a plaything in his palm.
- At the Bottom of the Tang Clan's Valley there is a chance to pick up someone's dark history: a string of pure gold prayer beads carved with "The falcon comes from the eastern sea, to chase the of the western hills."
- In the official birthday video, upon seeing the twin-tailed Junior Martial Sister kidnapped by his , a whole string of nonexistent memories with Tang Lu surfaces in his mind, and he immediately decides to adopt the Junior Martial Sister and rename his daughter Tang Ying.[2]
Tang Clan
- In those years he was baptized in despair by Tang Zhongling, and so reined himself in and reflected. He both fears and admires him, and dares not admit it.
- He schemed to send far away on business, transferring him out of the Tang Clan.
- On Fengyu Mountain it was agreed that the martial contest would not be to the death, but when he saw Zhao Huo step out to fight, killing intent rose in him at once, and he meant to "slip" and kill Zhao Huo, so that the Tang Clan would never again be a threat.
- After faked his death, he investigated who had set the traps against the Tang Clan, and Shangguan Sun was one of the chief suspects.
Notes
- More than wealth or power, he loves brawling and killing, taking lives by violence. Had the Shangguan line not hung by a single thread, forcing him to rein in his temper, he would surely have become a notorious villain of the Jianghu.
- He has always been overbearing, with few close friends; the former Sect Leader of the Snow Mountain Sect counted as one, and he once regretted ignoring the Snow Mountain Sect's plea for help.
- His post as Supervisor of the Imperial Shipyards was likely bought. At the Fengyu Mountain Assembly he was promoted to Imperial Envoy, raised to the third rank, a fifth-rank official appointed Pacification Commissioner, with officials of the sixth rank and below in the various counties serving as his assistants.
- Fire Dragon Immortal Monarch flattered him, calling him the reincarnation of the Dragon King of the East Sea.
- He looks down on women. When he was at a disadvantage in the battle at Jinxiang Palace, Zhao Huo mouthed the famous line:
"Someone come, quick, come now! Commissioner Shangguan was struck down by a woman and he's crying! How pitiful!" - At the Western Wulin battle there was no woman to hit him, so after teaching Zhao Huo a lesson, he was instantly killed by .
"Everyone, why not open your eyes and see who's lying on the ground? Ta-da! It's the Shangguan Family Head!"
- Ten or twenty years ago he met Tang Zhongling at the Grand Master's inauguration ceremony of the Songshan Sect. At the time he told everyone he met that he had a , proud as could be. Because he had left his daughter at home, his heart flew homeward, and he hurried back to Fuzhou the moment the ceremony ended.
