A regimental commander in the army and the pride of the Cheng family. He is Cheng Lanhua's nephew. He was visiting his uncle's house on a mission when he discovered the scandal. He is described as usually extremely alert but had drunk a little more that night and let his guard down. He stopped his aunt from beating Shen Yuyao, took her away, and promised to pay back the 100 yuan bride price. He sternly warned against buying brides, citing the new era's freedom of marriage law.
