The Hangzhou Metropolitan Transport Commissioner and Lady Qin's husband. His first wife died during difficult childbirth. He happily welcomed the young and beautiful Lady Qin into his home but completely forgot about his daughter Yang Xuan, leaving her entirely in the care of a wet nurse. He rarely saw Yang Xuan and accepted Lady Qin's excuses without further questions. Every time he inquired about Yang Xuan, she was starved for three days afterward.
