Antagonist. Qiao Qingqing's husband. A soldier from a three-generation poor peasant family with a stable and respectable career. Publicly perceived as the perfect husband and father — never drank excessively, never gambled, came home on time, helped with housework, and spoke gently. However, he had a terrifying secret: whenever he drank alcohol, he turned into a violent abuser who beat Qiao Qingqing mercilessly but knew exactly how to control his strength to leave almost no visible injuries. He would feign amnesia the next day. Had a village sweetheart named Xu Peiling who drowned herself while pregnant with his child. After her death, his guilt twisted into resentment toward Qiao Qingqing. Concealed the 30 gold bars from her parents' dowry. Hid the truth about her family's death in the Blackwater Village snow disaster. Promoted and rich by the time of Qiao Qingqing's illness. Had an adopted son named Lin Xuan (Xiao Xuan), who may actually be his biological son with Xu Peiling. Had soundproofing installed in their apartment. Fractured both legs when Qiao Qingqing attacked him with a hammer during his drunk sleep.
