Male protagonist, around twenty years old, returned to Beijing from the countryside after ten years as a sent-down educated youth. He has a cold, sharp face with an air of distance and pride. He is tall and well-built with sharp brows, bright eyes, and defined striking features. He has a dual personality and bipolar tendencies. He is Ying Sisi's fiancé. Initially cold and indifferent, he is moved when Ying Sisi gives him a winter coat and a bowl of noodles with three poached eggs — the first time anyone has given him three eggs in one meal. He refuses Song Hanmei's attempt to replace Ying Sisi with Li Yuwei, insisting Ying Sisi be the main wife.
