Characters from Gu Long's Lu Xiaofeng Series (陆小凤传奇), also known as The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng.
Main characters
Lu Xiaofeng (陆小凤)
The protagonist. A detective and martial artist known for his “four eyebrows” — a distinctive appearance caused by a naturally thick upper lip that perfectly mimics a second pair of eyebrows. He is a reluctant hero who investigates crimes because he finds them intellectually stimulating, not out of a sense of moral duty.
