Also referred to as Brother-in-law, husband of Xianqiu. Head of the Xie Clan, holding the title of Xindu Marquis and honorary Grand Commandant. Publicly praised as a pure-hearted, diligent, unassuming Confucian moral exemplar. In private, he is cruel and manipulative—he drugged Tian Qin in her past life, assaulted her, and showed no humanity when she desperately sought him before dying. He rigidly adheres to Confucian doctrines with wife above concubine as his bottom line.
