Lu Nong's deceased first husband. He was a war hero who was injured on the battlefield and treated at a military hospital where he was assigned to the original owner's care. He fell in love with the original owner and confessed his feelings during one of the leader's persistent pursuits. He was more than a decade older than her but was upright and could protect her. He died three months ago when his old illness relapsed while fighting on the front line. Before death, he entrusted Lu Nong to Pei Ji'an and stated in his will that it would be best for Lu Nong and Pei Ji'an to live together if both were willing.
