Male protagonist. A devastatingly handsome and ruthless elite of Beicheng. He loved Yun Yang with pathological obsession after she showed him kindness when he was filthy and unworthy, tending to his wounds and smiling at him when others scorned him. He once imprisoned her but later deeply loved her. After discovering her death, he went mad with grief, holding her decaying corpse for days, refusing to bury her initially. He brutally avenged her by killing Yun Xi and destroying the Yun family, bankrupting them overnight. He buried Yun Yang in a cemetery adorned with flowers, beside the grave of their child Pei Zhinan. He burned paper offerings for her and vowed to make those who killed her pay.
