Yun Hua is the second son of Yun Ruosheng, who is already dead when the story begins. He was known for his dissolute lifestyle, frequenting brothels and neglecting family affairs. He was killed by his elder brother Yun Rong on a remote mountain after an altercation. His corpse is found decapitated and mutilated, but later restored to a lifelike state by Chang Ming's Spring Return Pill. His soul is missing, which becomes a point of concern for the ghost messenger Feng Xing and suggests interference by the Six-Character Copper Coin. His death catalyzes the family crisis and exposes hidden tensions.
