The young Emperor, approximately twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He has sharp eyebrows, star-like eyes, a high-bridged nose, and a posture as straight and upright as a pine tree. He is the father of the little princess (Chaoyun) and has other rebellious sons and daughters. Despite his authoritative position — he usually orders floggings or beheadings — he shows amusement and warmth toward the children. He harbors deep hatred for corrupt officials, especially those exploiting disaster relief funds in the Northwest. He is fond of pinching Jin Lanyue's chubby cheeks and kept her on his lap while discussing state affairs.
