Zhao Qi was a character described in the Ming Dynasty novel 'Fengshen Yanyi'; a grand counselor of the Shang Dynasty and advisor to King Zhou of Shang. Like his equal and associate Shang Rong; Zhao Qi came to lament and despise the idocy; cruelty and corruption of King Zhou.

After Shang Rong killed himself in front of the king in defiance; Zhao Qi ultimately spoke his mind and implored the king to change his ways. Even after being threatened by King Zhou; Zhao Qi did not hold back his words. He was executed for his refusal to back down; joining Shang Rong in lamenting the fate of the Shang Dynasty and how King Zhou had shamed the memory of Cheng Tang; first king of the Shang Dynasty.

Similarly to Shang Rong; Zhao Qi was deified after his death; becoming the deity of Tianshe Star.
