A eunuch who manages the Rear Palace, officially twenty-four years old (actually nineteen). Despite his high rank as a palace official, he is a mysterious figure considered far too young for his position. As the eunuch overseeing the consorts and ladies-in-waiting, he frequently visits the high-ranking consorts—Gyokuyo, Lishu, Loulan, and Ah-Duo—to check on them, while visiting mid-rank consorts and below about once every ten days or once a month. His goal is to verify their loyalty to the Emperor and their chastity; he reportedly cuts off any mid- or low-rank consorts who try to flirt with him. Consort Gyokuyo and Consort Lifa are individuals he personally vetted and recommended to the Emperor to become high-ranking consorts. According to Maomao, he looks somewhat mature, but when his expression turns serious, he appears quite young. Due to his position as the highest-ranking official in the Rear Palace—ranking even above the high consorts—most incidents occurring there can be resolved at his discretion. The reason Maomao is able to move around so freely despite being a mere low-ranking maid is because Jinshi acts as her guarantor. He has the authority to punish ordinary maids, eunuchs, and even consorts from low to middle rank, and while he communicates formally with the high consorts, their actual power is lower than his. Possessing beauty like a celestial maiden, he is an object of adoration for women, while men often remark that they might lose their reason and pounce on him if they let their guard down. He is the most beautiful male character in the series, possessing a delicate, androgynous beauty rather than a ruggedly handsome one. This is a trait inherited strongly from his mother, and he is well aware of his own beauty, using his charms without hesitation. When he disguised himself as a commoner, Maomao playfully applied rouge to his lips, making him look identical to his mother. However, he is still a man; he doesn't receive the same adoration from men as he does from women, and beneath his pretty face, he has a fairly muscular build and a deep voice. Knowing his beauty well, he has a somewhat manipulative side and is accustomed to swaying women with his 'honeyed' smiles. However, when he saw Maomao's expression of pure disgust—as if she were looking at a bug—instead of being swayed by his smile, he felt a strange sense of novelty and pleasure, suggesting he might be a bit of a masochist. Conversely, he was terrified by the look Maomao gave her biological father (Lakan), saying he thought his heart would stop. As a side note, Jinshi's appearance is inherited not only from Ah-Duo but also from the former Emperor. Even his grandmother, Empress Dowager An, thinks of the former Emperor when she looks at Jinshi. On the other hand, though often overshadowed by Maomao, he is also highly intelligent; he figured out on his own that Loulan and Shisui were actually sisters with the same father. Furthermore, he has an incredibly sharp eye; despite a maid resembling Loulan using makeup to impersonate her, he immediately noticed it was a fake by spotting the placement of a mole and the layers of makeup. In many ways, he is a man of both literary and martial brilliance.

*Expected to be born soon* The daughter of Jinshi and Maomao. She has purple eyes and a beautiful face like Jinshi. She has cat-like eyes and green hair like Maomao. Her personality is likely a half-and-half mix of Maomao's and Jinshi's. Like Maomao, she possesses an immunity to poisons.
