Xie Lian is a humble, sweet, kind, and patient man, though he is plagued by extreme unluckiness and clumsiness. He is a former prince and a powerful martial artist, possessing great physical strength. Despite his past, he always sees the best in people and is very apologetic and loyal. A notoriously terrible cook, his attempts in the kitchen are disastrous. He has long, dark brown hair often styled in a half bun with a white ribbon, and is typically seen in simple white robes with a bamboo hat around his neck. He often appears content and at peace, lost in his own world.
