A distant cousin from the Gu family on Lin Shuying's mother's side. He appeared in his early twenties, wearing a green Confucian robe, with a handsome face and refined manners but a somewhat pale complexion. He claimed to have come to the capital for the imperial examinations and requested to stay at Little Lin Manor. Lin Shuying suspected his true motives given the estate's valuable secrets and asked Wei Fuyu to monitor him.
