Zhao Yuexi is a delicate orphan girl from a down-and-out family, staying at her uncle's home, but relying on Prince Ying as her patron. She wears plain-colored clothes most days, is described as a fragile, easily-broken beauty who laments over spring and grieves autumn. She confronts Jiang Ruohua in the tea garden, accusing her of changing Prince Ying after breaking the engagement, but lacks confidence when Prince Ying is not by her side. Jiang Ruohua mocks her as a person who cannot afford to offend her. She is the center of Prince Ying's affection. She is described as a delicate little flower surviving only through Prince Ying’s love, without the principles or vision of noblewomen. In the dream, she is both pitiful and despised, used as a tool to humiliate Jiang Ruohua.
