A poor scholar who became Ji Ruyue's husband after Murong Jing tossed the silk ball to him. In his previous life, he was deeply in love with Murong Jing and viewed her as his soulmate. He betrayed the Ji family, murdered Master Ji, imprisoned Ji Ruyue, handed over all Ji family wealth to Murong Jing, and personally strangled Ji Ruyue with a white silk sash on the day she was crowned Empress. He later ensured over a hundred Ji family members perished in a fire and had nine generations exterminated to show loyalty to the Empress, even becoming one of her male concubines.
