Zhou Mingyi's older brother. He was handsome, elegant in his writing, and exceptionally gifted. He once would have rather given up his future to earn food for his sister. He placed third in the imperial examinations as the Tanhua but was spotted and seized by Princess Zhaoyang, who forced him to be her male favorite. In Zhou Mingyi's past life, he was flayed and stuffed with straw, his remains hanging above the city gate.
