Also known as Zhenyu, son of Qi Weiling (Duke of Su) and Princess Le Ping. Talented in riding and archery since childhood, triumphing in battle at seventeen. Deeply in love with Xiao Huaishu (Zhixing), they were promised to each other since before birth. After his parents died, he escaped the capital with Xiao Huaishu. He climbed three thousand steps to a mountain temple and knelt for seven days and nights in wind, rain, and scorching sun, with his knees festering, to obtain a rare herb from an immortal to cure Xiao Huaishu's poison.
