Ma Ying and Lu Yuan's son, Lu Yujiao's cousin. He secretly helped Lu Yujiao throughout the chapters. He brought her food when she faked a stomachache and deliberately cut his hand to create a diversion. He used a secret code with Lu Yujiao (coughing five times) to communicate urgently. At night, he sneaked out twice to untie the rope locking Lu Yujiao in the utility room, finally succeeding on the second attempt and letting her escape. He pleaded with his parents to have pity on Lu Yujiao after she ran away. He was described as having little rolling eyes when scheming and his mother was pleased when he seemed to grow up and stop helping Lu Yujiao.
