Also called Young Master Ma. Captain Ma's son. He had visited the Li household two or three times over two years. He never liked Ah Li, finding her frail, timid, and dull. He fell in love with Yao A Ning from the same alley. Fearing his father's disapproval and the Yao family's mercenary nature demanding an outrageous dowry, he devised a scheme to switch the brides on the wedding day. He consummated the marriage with Yao A Ning while Ah Li was sent to the Qi family. He was beaming and innocent-looking when he heard about Qi Yanfeng's death, showing no remorse.
