The Kuang Family

~ Kuang Tianyou was bitten by the Vampire Commander when he was an anti-Japanese leader fighting with a Japanese commander - Yamamoto Katsuo at Hongxi Village 60 years ago. He immediately became a vampire with very special powers which enabled him to break a great deal of cases when he became a cop. He never suck human blood as he does not want the victim to suffer with him in this world. Letting his emotions to rule him frequently, he fails to accomplish a lot of tasks (for example when he goes back to 1938 to change history in episode 23). He always remembers his first love - Xiu although she has died a long time ago. Later when he moves into Jiajia Building, he gets to know Zhenzhen, who reminds him of Xiu. Although he becomes Zhenzhen’s boyfriend later on, the person he really likes is Zhenzhen’s best friend - Xiaoling. He is skillful in making coffee.

As a result, he tries means and ways to bring Tianyou and Zhenzhen together. His wish is to grow old, fall in love and die eventually.

The Jin Family

~ Jin Shouzheng is the husband of Jinjie and Zhengzhong’s father. He always quarrels with Jinjie and strongly disbelieves in superstitious things such as ghosts.

He has heart disease but continues to drink beer. Susu cures his disease by giving him worms to eat.
~ Jinjie cares about her husband a lot and nags at him whenever he goes to drink beer. She makes up with him later after Kaiping’s matter when Shouzheng apologises for his stubborness.
~ Jin Zhengzhong is the disciple of Xiaoling. This also makes him the 41st descendant of Ma Clan. He used to pretend to be Xuanwu Boy to cheat people’s money. However, later in the show, he stops cheating people when he was discovered. He then starts to learn skills from Xiaoling as a ghostbuster. He falls in love with Susu - a white snake who has been waiting for Xu Xian for the past 800 years. He hates his father for not bringing allowance home and leaving them as he likes. However, he forgives his father when he sees that Shouzheng truly wants to repent.

Domoto Shingo (left) and Shan Ben Wei Lai (right)


Bijia
~ Yamamoto Katsuo/Yamamoto Ryuichi/Yamamoto Takeshi is a man with strong ambitions and his desire to possess are beyond his control. He is a victim of the Vampire Commander in Hongxi Village. His dreams are shattered when he becomes a vampire. Unlike Tianyou, he sucks human blood. He lost his beloved wife - Yuki when the latter dies of exhaustion (because Yamaoto Katsuo leaves all the responsibility of looking after the house to her). Yamamoto Katsuo is Miki’s father and also the boss of Nitto Group - the biggest company in Japan and Hong Kong. He is afraid of loneliness, thus, he plans to control the whole world by turning all the humans into vampires. He loves his only daughter very much and will not allow anyone to hurt her. He turns her into a vampire as he does not want to lose her. He is willing to give up his dream for Miki.
~ Shan Ben Wei Lai/Miki Shang becomes a vampire when she was bitten by her father. She hates her father for turning her into a vampire and causing the death of her mother. She moves into Jiajia Building later in the show after a quarrel with her father and becomes good friends with Fusheng and Zhenzhen. She loves his boyfriend, Ken, very much but is heartbroken when Ken works for her father.
~ Domoto Shingo/Ken also becomes a vampire when he was bitten by Miki. He hates Yamamoto Katsuo for causing his parents’ death and bringing misery upon Miki by turning her into a vampire. He becomes the subordinate of Yamamoto Katsuo in the hope that he may be able to kill him one day to take revenge for his parents.
~ Bijia is a demon before Yamamoto Katsuo turns her into a vampire. She longs to be Yamamoto Katsuo’s daughter and detests Miki for treating her boss (Yamamoto Katsuo) like an enemy. She enjoys being a vampire as she is no longer bullied by other people.
~ Herman is a subordinate of Yamamoto Katsuo and also enjoys being a vampire when he was bitten by the latter. He follows Yamamoto Katsuo’s order and never defies him (perhaps it is because he does not want to die because Yamamoto Katsuo can take back the vampire blood in him anytime).
3) Waiting Bar
~ Bai Susu is the white snake in the Legend of Madam White Snake and the elder sister of Xiaoqing. She has been waiting for Xu Xian for the past 800 years. 99 years ago, Miaoshan tells her that she will meet Xu Xian again. Nevertheless, even if Miaoshan has not told her, she will still wait for him. In all her life, she has never come across a second man who can make her happy until she meets Zhengzhong, who probably is the reincarnation of Xu Xian.
~ Bai Xiaoqing is the green snake in the Legend of Madam White Snake. She wishes to find a man who loves her but yet found one. The reason is that she is afraid that she may end up in her sister's footsteps (i.e. the man whom she loves makes her wait year after year). She becomes Zhengzhong’s girlfriend later in the show.

4) Lingling-Tang Company

5) Qiu-shu's place (Arcade)
~ Qiu-shu is a descendant of the Mao Clan and is Tianyou’s and Xiaoling’s good friends.
How did Qiu-shu become crippled?
A long time ago, he discovered Tianyou’s real identity and vowed to subdue the latter. Later, his pregnant wife died and the baby in her did not survive either. When Qiu-shu fought with Tianyou, the latter had no choice but to bite Qiu-shu’s leg. Although Tianyou did not suck his blood, Qiu-shu knew that he would turn into a vampire. At this moment, Tianyou rushed over and chopped off Qiu-shu’s leg. Tianyou explained to Qiu-shu that he did not want Qiu-shu to suffer as he knew the misery of being a vampire. Qiu-shu was shocked that a vampire can be more humane than him and he became good friends with Tianyou.
~ Xiaobo is a little ghost boy who is looked after by Qiu-shu. He treats Qiu-shu as his father and helps him in many ways.

~ Jusan is a subordinate of Yamamoto Katsuo. At first, he trys to subdue Yamamoto Katsuo but fails to do so. He then pretends to die and before he dies, he writes down his account of subduing Yamamoto Katsuo in 13 Chapters. Actually, he is corrupted by the attraction of absolute power. He is a man of great ambition and after hearing Yamamoto Katsuo’s plan of turning the world into a Vampire World, Jusan wants to taste real power, so he teams up with Yamamoto Katsuo. He lies in wait at Dixin Tomb and appears at the last hurdle to kill anyone, who is after the 13 Chapters (which does not exist at all).
