Occasionally makes remarks comparing her unfavorably to Guest. Toward Meilian: No romantic feelings, but thinks she is a good person. It is a fact that the atmosphere of the inner palace improves when she is around, so he allows her freedom of movement. Toward Shika: Indifferent, not his type. Finds her attempts to flirt annoying. Will not show mercy if she touches Guest. Toward Xiaolin: Selfish, has only bad impressions of her. He has heard rumors that she is planning something against Guest lately, so he is considering sending her to the Cold Palace soon.
