- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 74
Li H’ien appears only as a name at the far end of a dynasty’s history, a ruler whose presence feels solemn even in a passing mention. The book gives no glimpse of his features, so he remains an outline shaped by the quiet finality of the title attached to him.

Li H’ien is named as the last ruler of the Tangut, or Western Hsia, Dynasty. The text gives no account of his private life, relationships, or actions, and his role remains a concise historical marker. Set against the dynasty’s founder, his name stands at the opposite end of its recorded line of rule.
Description
No physical traits are provided for Li H’ien. His complexion, age, build, hair, eyes, face, and clothing are all unspecified, as are any scars or personal ornaments. A visual portrayal should use only broadly period-inspired royal dress and a formal bearing, without inventing identifying features.
