Jiang Cheng, second name Wanyin, is the current leader of the Yunmeng Jiang Sect, Wei Wuxian's shidi. He holds the title of Sandu Shengshou.

He was the one who led the Four Great Sects: Yunmeng Jiang, Lanling Jin, Gusu Lan, and Qinghe Nie, and destroyed the lair of the Yiling Elder - Mount Luanzang.

Excessively proud and arrogant since childhood. The events of the past have greatly changed him for the worse, turning him into a sullen and restless person, full of burning hatred for Wei Wuxian. In childhood and adolescence, they went through many trials and were close, like brothers. But ever since Wei Wuxian began practicing the dark arts, they began to distance themselves from each other and eventually became enemies. Now Jiang Cheng is known as the most merciless executioner of cultivators who follow the Path of Darkness. Even as a child, Jiang Cheng was hot-tempered, but only on the surface, in fact, behind the aggression and arrogance hid the Jiang Wanyin who madly loves his family and strives to protect them. He also loves his brother, Wei Wuxian, even though the latter commits many crazy pranks. Behind his sharp words is hidden care and concern for his brother. This later manifests itself in the relationship between Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng. Jiang Wanyin scolds A-Ling not because he is truly angry at him, but because he wants him to grow up and finally be able to protect himself.

However, Jiang Cheng also had a deep inferiority complex due to his father, Jiang Fengmian. This was precisely because the Jiang leader favored Wei Wuxian in everything, but never showed concern for Jiang Wanyin, which angered and saddened the latter. It should be noted that there were constant reminders from his mother that his level of cultivation was inferior to Wei Wuxian. As a result, Jiang Cheng felt that his father did not love him, and this remained a sore point even in adulthood.

Jiang Cheng was perceptive, correctly predicting that society would turn against Wei Wuxian if he continued to protect the remnants of the Wen Clan. Often, when choosing between justice and reputation, Jiang Wanyin prefers the latter, which does not make him bad. For example, in one of the arcs, Jiang Wanyin tells Wei Wuxian that if he had not stood up for Mian Mian in the cave, then perhaps his family would be alive now.

After the death of his sister, Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng becomes embittered. He feels that Wei Wuxian is to blame for her death, even though in fact she protected Wei Ying from the sword of another cultivator with herself. After this, Jiang Wanyin led the Siege of Luanzang Mountain, where Wei Ying was located. Under his leadership, the remnants of the Wen clan were destroyed.

The leader of the Yunmeng Sect, Jiang, became a "hunter" for cultivators practicing the dark path.
