General Hua, commander of the northern troops, and father of Hua Miaomiao. He is a high-ranking general with military power but must obey imperial orders. He and his wife had planned carefully to disguise their daughter's appearance to avoid royal marriage, but the Empress's scheme backfired. He regrets not retiring when his wife advised him to do so. He is deeply devoted to his wife and daughter and promises his daughter he will support her if the Third Prince bullies her.
