A woman from Jiangnan who spoke in a soft Wu dialect. Five years older than Li Jingci, she took care of him growing up, often bringing steamed cakes to his private school and feeding him secretly. She was engaged at fifteen, and Li Jingci went to the capital to see his father around that time. She later died, and Xie Ye vaguely remembered that ten years ago when Mingyuan Pavilion wiped out her family, she was found among the corpses in fine clothes with fresh makeup and a face marred by dirty blood.
