The elder brother of Wang Xuan, who died alongside their father three months ago. He was originally engaged to Lu Yao (to repay a life‑saving debt), but he died before the wedding, making Lu Yao a widow. His death is a key cause of the family’s downward spiral. Wang Xuan often thinks of him and his father. The tax is still collected for him even though he is deceased. The mystery of how they died (possibly not just a random demon attack) is hinted at by Shi Yong’s offer to reveal the truth.
