An intruder who broke into Shen Que's room in the middle of the night. He appears to be in his thirties with stubble and neglected grooming. He claims to be an assassin and knows Shen Que's secret about being neither male nor female, having spied on him from the rooftop. He left a letter before coming, threatening to frame Shen Que if he dies. He is bold, provocative, and physically aggressive, binding Shen Que to the bed. He says his name is Lin Xie and claims he wants to take a good look at Shen Que's secret.
