A Hanlin scholar who privately serves the emperor, nicknamed 'Glass Egg' due to his exceptionally smooth and shining bald head. He is known for his eloquent speeches full of classical references, his skill at deflecting blame, and his mastery of the 'throwing the pot' technique. He studied Tai Chi and is famous for being able to dodge any accusation. He rose to the Inner Cabinet and is described as someone who indulged the emperor's worst impulses while committing heinous acts himself, later publishing edited diaries to secure his legacy as a paragon of virtue.
