The eldest daughter of the Lin family, around fourteen or fifteen years old. She appears slow-witted and foolish due to a high fever she suffered in childhood, which left her with the intellect of a three or four-year-old. She is lovely and beautiful but speaks little and lives in her own world. A Taoist monk prophesied that at age fifteen she would face a significant tribulation; if she survived it, she would regain her normal intellect, but if she failed, she would die. She was pushed into a river by her cousin but was secretly rescued by a mysterious man. Her engagement to Scholar Wang was callously broken off.
