Tang Weiyu is a classmate of both Ji Shuyin and Gu Yuncheng, coming from a poor family with many children and parents who favor sons. She often plays the victim, pretending to be pitiful to gain Gu Yuncheng’s sympathy and support. She secretly covets Shuyin’s belongings, including clothes, the jade pendant, and the job at the supply‑and‑marketing cooperative. In Shuyin’s dream, she marries Gu Yuncheng, steals the family treasure, and helps burn Shuyin to death. In reality, she is scheming and manipulative, acting meek in public while taking advantage of Shuyin.
