Biography

Protective elder brother

Wang Tao first matters through his reputation: his younger sister's choice of the poorly regarded Zhang Xuan seems beneath a student from their family. Protective and proud, he confronts the situation rather than trusting Zhang Xuan immediately. As Zhang Xuan diagnoses Wang Ying's physical condition and produces genuine improvement, the evidence undercuts Wang Tao's hostility and helps the Wang family recognize the teacher's ability. (Chapters 10–25 and 144–195)
