Chengjiao, titled Lord of Chang'an (長安君 Chǎng'ān Jūn), was Qin Shi Huang's paternal half brother.

In Kingdom, he launched a coup that tried to kill Qin Shi Huang alongside his own faction. He was later overthrown by Wenchang-jun, Li Xin, loyalists and the mountain tribes. He was later pardoned and allowed leadership during Qin Shi Huang's campaigns. He was also appointed leader during a border war, but torn when the city he expected to be defended, rebelled. He was later killed by a rebel commander after being cornered, using him as an excuse to forment distrust to his brother.
