The baby is the newborn son of Lin Pingchuan and Chen Yan. He was born just after midnight on the Winter Solstice, conceived during Qingming. His eyes are distinct: one is cloudy white like a dead person’s, the other has a dark golden pupil. He is a Spirit Body with a Yin Yang Fate, meaning he lacks the three protective fires on his head and shoulders, making him highly vulnerable to possession by wandering ghosts. His skin was purplish‑blue at birth but turned rosy after he cried. He is the central figure of the conflict — a helpless infant whom many spirits seek to claim.
