Also referred to as Uncle Shen, the brother of Shen Changfan (the original owner's father). He has taken over the family villa along with his wife Qiao Fengying and son Shen Jia. He secretly hated his younger brother Shen Changfan when he was alive for appearing refined and scholarly, and now copies all his habits. He is corrupt, having bribed officials with family antiques, and keeps a incriminating sheet of paper recording his crimes. He forbids reporting the stolen money to authorities out of fear his secrets will be exposed.
