Qi Zhi's strategic adviser, exceptionally skilled in strategy. He remains loyal to Qi Zhi because he sees the Qi family as his ladder to success, given the influence of the noble consort and her son from the Qi family. He advises Qi Zhi to surround Mei Manor to prevent Mei Liang from making desperate moves, and later suggests a three-pronged plan—food, shelter, and medical care—to restore Qi Zhi's image among disaster victims before the imperial relief team arrives.
