Male protagonist, heir to the Pei family of Beijing, one of the nation's most powerful aristocratic families with influence spanning politics and business. He is the president of Pei Group. He had always believed in staying single and devoted himself to his career. He only agreed to marry after his mother (Madam Pei) became desperate for a great-grandchild and even threatened her own life. He is cold, detached, and treats his marriage like a business arrangement, though he shows subtle consideration for Wen Zhiyu's discomfort. He donated a huge collection of repatriated porcelain and rare ancient books to the museum.
