The Jade Emperor and his rival Jade Brother become the central thread of the drama's contradictions and entanglements; their unique, complex and multifaceted character traits are fully displayed in the dramatic conflicts.
The rivalry between the Royal Brother and the Royal Brother begins in the competition of the old Jade Emperor to choose his successor. The Royal Brother is stubborn by nature, fights hard and defies anyone; the Royal Brother, however, has a very different character from the Royal Brother. Although he is smart and strong in martial arts, he treats people with a charitable heart and a sense of compassion. In the competition, the Jade Emperor could not bear to hurt his brother, and the battle was a draw. At the critical moment, the Jade Emperor is faithful to his integrity; the Jade Brother, on the other hand, is unscrupulous and almost succeeds in succeeding to the throne. It is only when the coronation ceremony is about to begin that the Jade Brother's ferocious face is exposed and he flees to earth in a hurry. At this time, the Jade Brother is silently suffering from extreme inner pain: he has to pay the price for his own benevolence, that is, not only losing the throne, but also losing his beloved Water Mist Fairy.
The Jade Emperor (who was succeeded by his royal brother after his royal brother fled the country) is the ideal figure in the Chinese mind. He is generous and kind, with great compassion, averse to evil and willing to sacrifice to save the people from destruction. In portraying the character of the Jade Emperor, the Jade drama undoubtedly puts an idealized halo on him. But the Jade Emperor in the Jade drama is, after all, a human being, and thus touching. He had treated the vicious and ugly with the utmost charity and tolerance, sometimes almost to the point of cowardice, fantasizing about reforming them. The cruel reality has gradually made the Jade Emperor sober and mature, and he knows how to get rid of evil. The Jade Emperor in the play "Jade" maintains the most acceptable character traits of the Chinese people, such as being charitable, not oppressing evil, and rewarding good and evil, showing the humanistic ideas unique to traditional Chinese culture. The Jade Emperor's ending, in which he finally triumphs over evil and is rewarded with love, friendship and affection, is also a familiar happy ending.
The imperial brother is the great evil in the drama "Jade". However, in the treatment of the character, he is not faceted, but delicately shows his gradual process of change, as well as the multifaceted and complex nature of his character, portraying a living character with flesh and blood. The imperial brother is proud of his talent and indifferent to others; as long as he wants to get what he wants, he will do whatever he can and by whatever means he can. During the martial arts competition for the throne, the Royal Brother knew that the Royal Brother was tolerating him, but he ridiculed the Jade Brother for being cowardly and not a person who dares to act decisively and decisively. It should be said that the conflict between Brother Jade and Brother Jade at this time was basically due to personality differences. When Brother Yu escapes to the mortal world, goes into hiding, and gathers demons to cause trouble, the essence of his character is gradually revealed, and his original bravery and intelligence turn into ferocity and viciousness. The imperial brother is fighting for the throne against all odds, and at the same time, he is fighting for the Water Mist Fairy against all odds. When he fled the mortal world in defeat and met Baguio, his heart thumped and he turned all his losses into intense love.
In his cruel, cold heart, the only thing that remains is a strand of love for Baguio. Even when Baguio recognizes the ugliness of his brother and meets him with a sword, he still doesn't give up his illusions. At this point, we no longer know what he is fighting for, is it the Dragon Chair in the Heavenly Palace, or is it the love of his heart? Or is it both? Which is more important?
