After the intimate night that Xu Cinian and Qu Cheng had at prison, the former became pregnant and then gave birth to his child whom he named Xu Anjia. Though the given name of the child is Anjia, Xu Cinian gave his child the nickname: "Wowo" mainly because he finds it cute, and it sounds like the wonton soup that he currently cooks for his customers at his small stall.

Later on he falls in love with Zhao Rui, a doctor.
Ah Si[]
A member of the Qinglong gang, the second hand of Qu Cheng, who he followed since he was 16 years old. Referred by Zhao Yue as a 'loyal dog', he is one of the most faithful members to the gang. Although Si respects Xu Cinnian and Qu Cheng, he despises Xu Xinnian (The Fake one). Part of the plan to capture Zhao Yue and Scarface, he played the role of traitor. Si also likes Li Pingshi, who is in reality Xu Xinnian (they changed bodies). In Chapter 207 he finds out about the change of bodies and thinks: ''The lover I've been looking for a whole year, and it turns out to be the person I hate the most in my life.''
Li Pingshi[]
A beggar who later changed bodies with Xu Xinnian, so Xu Xinnian is the actual owner of the body of Li Pingshi. He is portrayed as Ah Si's love interest. He is kind and loving, nothing like the previous owner of the body. After Ah Si saved him from some assailants he fell in love with him, but after Ah Si insulted Xu Xinnian on the phone with words like: 'His mother is a third wheel, how can it be good to give birth to an illegitimate child?' and 'Dirty Stuff, I wouldn't even touch it because I already felt sick when I saw it.' Pingshi ran away from Ah Si's home, deciding to watch his brother from afar. All being a misunderstanding.
