Originally Meng Ying's illegitimate son, he was forced onto Meng Yao to raise in the previous timeline. His household registration was moved to the Qi family and his name was changed to Qi Qinghe. He knew Meng Yao was not his birth mother but took her care as his due, spying on her for the Qi family and tattling whenever she tried to escape. He participated in beating Meng Yao in the previous life's opening scene, stomping on her back with a wicked grin.
