Meng Shen is Prince Jin's grandson, a rugged and imposing warrior who spent years fighting on the battlefield. He is not conventionally handsome but commands respect through his martial prowess and hardened appearance. He has a strong preference for men and is known for dangerous sexual practices that have resulted in the deaths of numerous young male courtesans. He agrees to a fake engagement with Ning Fu, claiming he needs a fiancée as a cover, though the real motivation appears to be his mother's illness over his marital prospects. He is described as cold and ominous in his gaze, intimidating even Jing Cheng.
