Eldest grandson of Grand Preceptor Shen and eldest son of Shen Xinian. His sister was abducted when he was five years old, and he has carried lifelong guilt over losing her. He encountered Xu Shuyao at the wedding and felt an inexplicable sense of kinship because she reminded him of his lost sister. He rarely lies but lied to her without blinking about being lost. He searched tirelessly for his sister for years with only faint traces found. The abductor had fled west, and Huzhou in Jiangnan seemed unlikely to be connected.
