The Prefect of Hezhou and cousin of Zhou Congxian. He is the eldest son of the Zhou family's second branch and has served in Hezhou for years. He has four children and his wife is the niece of Grand Secretary Chen. Years ago at the Duke of Ying's Residence banquet, he drugged wine which led to Yao Shisan becoming Zhou Congxian's concubine and dying unjustly in her previous life. He is competitive with Zhou Congxian since childhood and harbors resentment from his second uncle losing the family inheritance.
