Male, the Marquis and Shen Zhiyi's biological father. He is arrogant, cruel, and deceitful. He orchestrated the baby swap that separated Shen Zhiyi from her family as infants, ordering people to abandon her in the wilderness. He has a mistress with whom he has had several children, and Shen Ruoyue is actually the daughter born to this mistress, not a child accidentally switched at birth. He claims that fate played tricks and that Shen Ruoyer is kind-hearted, trying to guilt Shen Zhiyi into surrendering. He expects Chen Wanran to continue obeying him respectfully as she always did, and is shocked when she openly humiliates him in front of juniors and outsiders. He strides in with a face full of rage, booming like thunder.
