A new concubine originally named Hei Mudan, a musician from Suzhou who was bought there. She was skilled at playing the moon lute but learned the liuqin later as a courtesan. The Emperor bestowed upon her the surname Bai and promoted her to Da Ying. She is bold, defiant toward both Hua Fei and the Empress, yet appears friendly and smiling toward Zhen Huan. She seems to be setting her sights on forming alliances in the palace.
