Jin Zixuan (金子轩, Jīn Zixuān) is the heir to the Lanling Jin Clan. He is Jiang Yanli's husband, the father of Jin Ling, and Jin Guangshan's only legitimate child. He is also the paternal half-brother of Jin Guangyao, Qin Su, and Mo Xuanyu. From his marriage to Jiang Yanli, Jin Zixuan was the son-in-law of Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan, Jiang Cheng's brother-in-law, and the martial brother-in-law of Wei Wuxian.
Appearance[]
Jin Zixuan wears the robes of the Lanling Jin Clan, embroidered with their clan symbol, the Sparks-Amidst-Snow peony. Like all members of the clan, he also wears a vermilion mark on his forehead.[1]
He was born fair-skinned and delicate, and is considered quite handsome. His features are vibrant and his figure striking,[2] and he ranks third on the list of best-looking young men in the cultivation world.[3]
Personality[]
Jin Zixuan is exceptionally intelligent, and this, coupled with his looks and status, leads to his well-known arrogance.[2]
In his younger years, he resents that his mother has forced him into an engagement with Jiang Yanli, considering her inferior in both looks and cultivation.[4]
Despite his superficiality, Jin Zixuan also displays bravery and honor during his teenage years. In the cave of the Xuanwu of Slaughter, Jin Zixuan stands with Lan Wangji to protect Mianmian from Wen Chao's order that she be strung up and bled as bait, even though their actions lead to severe consequences.[5]
Jin Zixuan seems to mature after the Sunshot Campaign, as he begins to fall in love with Jiang Yanli despite scorning her in his youth. He is also insecure in romance, as he hires writers to pen a confession to Jiang Yanli[6] before blurting out his feelings in public.[7]
Jin Zixuan is also somewhat naive, as he insists during the ambush on Qiongqi Path that Wei Wuxian will be treated fairly by his father,[8] but unbeknownst to him, his father is actually scheming to kill Wei Wuxian for political gain.[9]
