Renaissance Man: Wang Zhi's subordinate Ding Rong. Besides his knowledge of poisons, torture, and horse thieving, it is implied that he can whip up a pretty detailed diorama. He is also shown as being a logistics expert, a capable fighter, and, without previous experience, a bomb disposal technician. |

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: In the lead up to the final showdown of the series, Ding Rong betrays Wang Zhi, seemingly for this reason. In the end, despite his betrayal, Ding Rong fails to kill Wang Zhi and is then similarly spared from death. In perhaps a downplayed example of Can't Live with Them, Can't Live Without Them, Wang Zhi takes an imprisoned Ding Rong with him to Hetao. |

The Igor: Zhu Jianmou has one. Tang Fan initially mistakes him for the serial killer he's chasing. As it turns out, he's also Zhu Jianmou's father. |

Bastard Bastard: Zhu Jianmou, though his being a bastard and his being a serial killer are completely separate, as he only finds out about the former during a trial. |

Easily Forgiven |

comment |
Easily Forgiven: Zhu Jianmou murders 62 women and comes extremely close to murdering Tang Fan and Duo'erla as well. His punishment? Exile to the far north with his family so that he can "spread his good deeds" elsewhere. Tang Fan is not impressed, and attempts to get justice on his own. His attempt ends with Duke Zhu taking his own life in public. |

Together in Death: Feng Qingzi and Lin Chaodong. They were planning to kill themselves anyway, as they saw no hope in either of their lives, but then got roped into a murder plot. |

Cut Apart |

comment |
Cut Apart: Briefly while Tang Fan and Duo'erla are being held in Zhu Jiamou's home and Sui Zhou is investigating, he starts rattling something, they hear something else, and start yelling for help. The editing suggests that it's Sui Zhou, but in reality it's a henchman. |
