Four animated characters, each dead in their own way, each leaving behind a wound that refuses to heal. Jiang Yanli’s gentle smile, Bi Yao’s reckless devotion, Chen Duo’s tragic freedom, Wang Qiu’er’s silent sacrifice. These are not just plot points. For millions of viewers across China, these deaths are emotional scars that time hasn’t faded. A recent fan poll asked: if you could resurrect one Amine character, who would it be? These four names dominated the list. Not because their stories were unfinished, but because their endings felt fundamentally unfair. They died for love, for choice, for others. And in every case, the living were left broken, carrying guilt that no sequel could erase.
1. Jiang Yanli (江厌离) – A Sister’s Grace
She was never the strongest cultivator. Never the smartest, never the most powerful. Jiang Yanli from The Founder of Diabolism (魔道祖师) was simply the best senior sister the cultivation world had ever seen. Her talent was mediocre, her cultivation average, but her heart was immense. She raised Wei Wuxian (魏无羡) as her own brother, defended him against every insult, and never once wavered in her loyalty. Even when the Lotus Pier fell because of him. Even when her parents died at the hands of the Wen clan. Even when her husband Jin Zixuan (金子轩) was killed by the fierce corpse Wen Ning (温宁).
She never blamed him. Not once. At the Nightless City siege, she took a sword meant for Wei Wuxian. Her last words were not accusations, but a plea for him to stop, to not let his rage consume him. She died in his arms, still protecting him. If she could return, fans believe the tragedy of Nightless City and the siege of the Burial Mounds might never have happened. Her resurrection wouldn’t just bring back a character, it would bring back the moral compass of the entire story.
2. Bi Yao (碧瑶) – A Love That Refused to Fade
Few deaths in Amine hit as hard as Bi Yao’s from Jade Dynasty (诛仙). The daughter of the Ghost King, she was fierce, stubborn, and utterly devoted to Zhang Xiaofan (张小凡). She didn’t care about the divide between righteous and demonic sects. She only cared about him. When he was trapped by the Celestial Sword Formation, she didn’t hesitate. She chanted the Chiqing Curse (痴情咒), a forbidden art that shattered her own soul to shield him. One soul fragment remained, locked inside a bell. For ten years, Zhang Xiaofan searched for a way to bring her back.
He found nothing. When the Fox Hill collapsed, her body disappeared, leaving only a piece of green fabric. He gave up, retreating to a small village with that fabric and a bell. Fans still grieve. Not because she died, but because her death was never truly resolved. She gave everything, and the world offered nothing in return. If Bi Yao could be resurrected, it wouldn’t be about romance or reunion. It would be about justice. She deserves to breathe again, even if Zhang Xiaofan isn’t by her side.
3. Chen Duo (陈朵) – A Life Without Choice
Of all the deaths, Chen Duo’s from The Outcast (一人之下) is the most heartbreaking. She was taken as an infant by the Medicine Saint Society, locked in a pit with forty-eight other babies, and subjected to the cruelest form of gu poison cultivation. Only she survived. They called her the Gu (蛊) Body Sacred Child. She had never made a single choice in her entire existence. She was raised as a weapon, passed from one master to another, never allowed to decide where she went, what she ate, or what she wanted.
In the end, surrounded by temporary workers, she finally made her first real decision: to die. She chose to let the poison take her. And she smiled. That smile broke every viewer. She had wanted only one thing, to go shopping, to be a normal girl, to experience the world. But the world couldn’t hold her. If she could come back, if she could shed the title of Sacred Child, she might finally walk through a market, buy a silly trinket, and laugh without fear. Not as a weapon, but as a person.
4. Wang Qiu’er (王秋儿) – A Sacrifice Overlooked
Wang Qiu’er from The Peerless Tang Clan (绝世唐门) was never meant to be the tragic one. She was the Imperial Auspicious Beast of the Starry Sky Great Forest, a being of ultimate fire and ultimate light. She carried the fate of the forest itself. Curious about human love and hatred, she transformed and walked among them. She looked identical to Wang Dong’er (王冬儿), but fans preferred Qiu’er for her strength and independence. She was bold, fierce, and never played the victim.
And yet, she gave everything for Huo Yuhao (霍雨浩). Her fate power, her soul rings, her spirit bones, even her soul itself. She sacrificed herself completely. Later, Wang Dong’er’s death at the Qiankun (乾坤) Emotion Valley turned out to be part of a scheme. But Qiu’er’s death was real. She gave all of herself with no promise of return. If she could live again, fans want her to live for herself. To experience love and hate without being someone’s tool. Not as a sacrifice, but as a woman with her own story, her own choices, her own future.
