Male, also known as Prince Zhao. Born to the late Empress Zhen, with maternal lineage from the illustrious Prince of Zhending's Manor. He was exiled from the capital three years ago by an imperial decree written by Gu Ningxi. He achieved unparalleled military merit, capturing two kings at the Battle of Sishui Pass and pacifying the Central Plains, winning half the empire since the dynasty's founding. He orchestrated a palace coup and is now returning to the capital as the de facto ruler. He imprisoned Gu Ningxi for four days and confronted her about her hidden identity as a woman.
