Male protagonist, the third son of the prestigious Xie family of Southern Liang, the first in his clan to become a military general. Captured a year ago during the war with Southern Liang by Hu Shen's brother. He fought like ten men on the battlefield and had to be subdued by three men alongside Hu Shen's brother, who is the Khan's First Baturu. He is described as handsome with a high nose bridge, pale skin, thick brows, red lips, deep eyes, and tall stature. Currently chained with iron chains driven through his shoulder blades to a wooden frame, barely alive. He refuses to surrender despite torture. He speaks Han language with a clear, refined voice. He is wary and distrustful of Hu Shen, suspecting her kindness is a ploy to make him surrender.
