The Fifth Prince, later Emperor. Once a boy rescued by Jun Ning from the Cold Palace during winter. Fostered under Consort Yan. By age 17 he had already caught His Majesty's eye. He became ambitious and ruthless, betraying Jun Ning by shooting her with her own vow-arrow and sacrificing 30,000 of her Zhennan Army soldiers to pave his road to the throne. He claimed he needed a virtuous and gentle empress rather than someone as clever as Jun Ning. Posthumously honored her as Supreme General with the title Huaiyou after her death. A single tear fell when he ordered her killed, showing conflicted feelings.
