Male protagonist, a man with a poor class background (described as a descendant of a bad element) who was adopted by the Qin family. He lost his right leg in a cave-in at a private illegal black coal mine and received 500 yuan as hush money. He is tall, broad-shouldered, with bronze skin covered in old scars. His broken right leg is festering with a foul smell. He suffers from a severe fever. He is quiet, uncommunicative, self-deprecating, and deeply devoted to Li Jiao. In his previous life, he searched for her frantically all over the world while dragging his disabled leg, and followed her in death after she froze. He believes Li Jiao hates him and constantly endures her scolding and beatings out of gratitude that she chose to marry him.
