Male antagonist who was once the love of Qin Buwen's life. He harbored ulterior motives from the beginning, pretending to humble himself and keep her company night after night as her study companion while secretly plotting against her. He became the Second Prince's most trusted right-hand man and later the Vice Minister of Revenue. He led the forces that besieged Xunyang City, called Qin Buwen's soldiers 'stubborn' and said they 'deserved to die,' and climbed to power by stepping over the corpses of her three hundred thousand Chengping soldiers.
