Also known as Emperor Xingqian. He is the Third Prince, son of Consort Dong, and the new Emperor of the Daisui dynasty. He was placed on the throne by the late Emperor's secret will, bypassing the traditional succession that would have gone to Duke of Duan Xiao Jingcheng. He is described as cold, calculating, and not truly filial to the Empress Dowager. He showed favor toward Li Yunshu as a child by eating her desserts despite disliking overly sweet treats. He commuted the death sentences of the Duke of Duan and Yin Zhuzhu out of consideration for the Empress Dowager's reputation.
