Prime Minister Pei, a powerful court official who can stand toe-to-toe with Feng Buji. He came from humble beginnings and climbed to his position through vast knowledge. He was bullied by Xiao Mingyue and Feng Buji in earlier years—she threw stones, mud, and salt at him. He wore a crimson-purple official robe and appeared no more than twenty-four or twenty-five years old with handsome features and an extraordinary aura. He personally went to the mass grave and cried over Xiao Mingyue's body before having her carried back to his manor.
