1. Thành Nghị (as Lâm Kinh Vũ)
The next heartthrob from the movie is Thành Nghị, who plays Lâm Kinh Vũ, a skilled martial artist with a noble and righteous heart. His character's heavenly aura is further highlighted by his striking white robes from the Thanh Vân Sect, enhancing his charm and beauty.

He is best known for his role as Lâm Kinh Vũ in the series 'Thanh Vân Chí' and recently starred as the lead in 'Lưu Ly.' Famous director Li An praised his clean, intelligent gaze. Despite graduating from one of China's top drama schools, Thành Nghị's path to stardom wasn't easy. He faced numerous setbacks early in his career, even after submitting his resume to multiple film studios without success. Lacking a powerful manager or financial backers, his acting career nearly stalled. His first film role was a small part in 'Giao Thừa' (2009), but the film wasn't released until 2012. After another difficult year in 2011, his big break came with a supporting role in 'Đường Cung Mỹ Nhân Thiên Hạ' in 2011, finally earning him recognition from directors. Despite this, Thành Nghị's career still faced many challenges with limited roles and delayed releases, making his journey a truly hard-fought battle.
