Grand Military Governor of the five southeastern provinces, known as a former bandit who snatched many concubines. He is Yan Changye's father. Crude, lustful, and straightforward, he stubbornly sticks to simplistic principles. He demanded Liu Xiyin have one leg broken to compensate Yan Changyue. He dislikes Western novelties in rules and etiquettes but the mansion has Western objects for enjoyment.
