Zhou Congsheng is a supporting character who grew up with Shen Yuzhu. The Zhou family always treated her very well. In her previous life, he sensed something was wrong when she was being starved by her father, forced his way into the Shen residence, and kicked open her door to rescue her. He later came to the countryside to find her and proposed marriage, wanting to take her away from her suffering. However, Shen Yuzhu refused his proposal, clinging to false hope about her father. The Zhou family moved to the capital not long after Shen Yuzhu went to the countryside. Zhou Congsheng never married in his lifetime, living a lonely and bitter life. Upon learning of her death, he disregarded others' objections, retrieved her remains, and brought them back to the city to bury her in the Zhou family cemetery. In his later years, he spent all his wealth and was buried with her after his death.
