Cast and Character
Gino

As Tian Xie
Tian Xie is just like his name - acts alone, tends to be sharp. A shining dazzling star in the dance circle. He is lonely because he stands at the highest point in the world without any rivals. He finally meets his match in Qing Tian, who has a strong force flowing through his blood stream. Tian Xie attempts to let his ruthless dancing die away completely and then reborn. He is cold because he needs to protect his wounded heart. In the deepest part of his heart, there is a wound that would often ache but which he can never break away from. Until the innocent and naïve Xiao Ying accidentally charges into and awakens the bare feelings within Tian Xie's heart. Tian Xie and Qing Tian's "face-off" with each other is their fate. Qing Tian's strong force causes one to be unable to gasp for breath. They are natural born rivals. These two rivals face off with each others' fiery life on top of the Forbidden City. Battling on their dance moves and also on love. A heroic battle is about to unfold…

J.R

As Qing Tian
Qing Tian is just like his name. It's like the warm sunshine that shines down on your on a winter day ~ an intense, bright light. Dancing is an explosive force that flows the strongest through his blood streams. Being the eldest apprentice brother in the Jia Jiang Tuan, it is left to him to carry the glory and the responsibility of the group and to lead his younger group members to charge bravely ahead. He is a natural born hero, a modern day Ling Hu Chong (hero from Jin Yong's martial novel, State of the Divinity aka Xiao Ao Jiang Hu). There is one dream in Qing Tian's heart. He dreams of leading Jia Jiang Tuan down a path of their own. He dreams of standing in the center of the world with his apprentice sister, Xiao Ying because Xiao Ying is everything to him. She is someone that he loves the most whom he wants to protect for the rest of his life. Qing Tian and Tian Xie's "face-off" with each other is their fate. Tian Xie's brilliant rays causes one to suffocate. He is a powerful enemy in Qing Tian's life. These two rivals face off with each others' fiery life on top of the Forbidden City. Battling on their dance moves and also on their love because there is only one King and only one love.

Qiao Qiao

As Xiao Ying
Lively, mischievous, always getting into trouble and always taking risks. Jia Jiang Tuan is her happy world. Her eldest apprentice brother, Qing Tian, is her heaven - just like a guardian angel that will help support the world for her. Because of Tian Xie's appearance, this causes an undying love to open up in Xiao Ying's simple life. Xiao Ying is deeply attracted to Tian Xie's talent and proudness. She feels Tian Xie's loneliness, his grief. She understands Tian Xie and what's even more, she bravely falls in love with him even though she knows that the person who has always stayed by her side and protected her is Qing Tian. Tian Xie and Qing Tian's fate in battling in the Forbidden City for their dance moves and for love causes Xiao Ying to be stuck in the middle and suffers painfully. Because there is only one king, she must choose whose side she will stand beside.

Zhang Si Ping

As Aki
Royal Dance Group's princess. She admits that she will forever by the female leading lady. She has a habit of using her willfulness to hide her desire for love within her heart. Aki is infatuated with Tian Xie's mysteriousness yet Tian Xie treats Aki with coldness and sharpness. Aki understands that this is a love that she will never be able to wait for. When Qing Tian's help and care becomes the most glittering sunshine in Aki's life, her desire for love in her heart finally breaks free. Even though Aki understands that the person that Qing Tian deeply loves is Xiao Ying, yet she is stubborn and she warmly pursues Qing Tian. She understands that only love and sincereness will be able to change this world.

Wang Shao Wei

As Fire
Fire is just like his name - as fierce and violent as fire. Blazing, he has to always be number one and never number two. This is the arrogant personality that Fire has. He and Aki are a favorable couple within the Royal Dance Group. Fire is also the brave warrior that uses love to guard Aki, yet on the front of love and dancing, he meets up with two powerful opponents at the same time ~ Qing Tian and Tian Xie. Fire battles maddeningly. His arrogant ways causes him to lose his love, lose the stage, lose his sincereness, lose his friends. Fire is a natural born tragic hero. He is as fierce as fire and burns himself out. It's just that he meets the wrong people at the wrong time. He uses his life to persist an eternal glow.
