Qin Shi's eldest son, nineteen years old, five years older than Shen Mingtang. He studied at the Imperial Academy. He disliked Shen Mingtang because she was Zhou Yiniang's daughter and viewed her as hypocritical. He doted immensely on his sister Shen Mingyue and could never bring himself to scold her harshly. He was studious, sensible, and filial with a strong sense of right and wrong, but also stubborn. He was surprised to learn that Zhou Yiniang beat Shen Mingtang and that Shen Mingtang had obtained an Imperial Order for his mother.
