The magistrate of Nanling City and Nangong An's good brother. He is in his early twenties but appears older due to his full beard, looking as if he were in his forties. He is still single, which has caused his mother great worry, to the point that her hair has turned white. He is not a superstitious person and never believed in the label placed on Xueli. He fairly handled Xueli's former fiancé's case in court, and although the truth was eventually uncovered, the damaging label on Xueli could never be removed. He was invited to a farewell dinner by Nangong An before departing for the northern frontier.
