Male, Shen Zhiyi's former fiancé and a young master of the Wang family, a scholarly household. He is arrogant, contemptuous, and dripping with patronizing superiority. He publicly declares his love for Shen Ruoyue while insulting Shen Zhiyi as an uncultured country-born peasant woman unworthy of marrying into his family. However, he is not truly devoted to Shen Ruoyue as he claims, and has been fooling around with random women. He is also lustful and considers taking Shen Zhiyi as a secondary wife if she behaves properly. He is vain and believes no woman can resist his charm. When faced with Chen Wanran's opposition, he becomes uncertain and avoids Shen Ruoyue's pitiful gaze, pretending not to hear.
