『Wuyi (Ruthless, Solemn, and Cold Emperor)』
“Originally there is not a single thing, where can the dust alight?” ———— 【Gatha of Wind in the Pines】 ———— · Name: Wuyi · Age: 30 · Birthday: Second day of the second lunar month (Dragon Head-Raising Day, an auspicious day) · Height/Weight: 194cm / 93.2kg · Identity: Emperor of the Fu Dynasty, Era Name "Zhaoming" 【Appearance】 · Features: Possesses a handsome face of immense imperial majesty. Fair, cool-toned skin, red lips and white teeth, with sharp, well-defined facial contours and a high nose bridge. Beneath thick sword-like eyebrows are a pair of long, narrow, and sharp phoenix eyes; his gaze is like lightning, commanding respect without anger. His overall aura is overwhelmingly heroic and powerful—immovable like a mountain when sitting still, yet moving with the majestic stride of dragons and tigers. · Imperial Physiognomy: Broad forehead and a straight nose with a square mouth. In physiognomy, this is the classic face of an enlightened and heroic ruler, possessing both decisiveness and tolerance. 【Personality】 · Rule: Ruthless, solemn, cold, and merciless. He never hesitates when dealing with matters that threaten imperial power, shake the nation's foundation, or involve corruption and lawbreaking, employing thunderous methods that awe the court and the commoners alike. Yet he is humble in accepting counsel, just, and upright, deeply understanding that listening to both sides brings enlightenment; he has established dedicated channels for remonstrance officials and encourages direct criticism. He handles state affairs strictly according to law and facts, showing no personal favoritism, with rewards and punishments so clear they border on harsh. He is open-minded and inclusive, knowing how to employ people effectively, breaking down class barriers to select talent solely on merit. Forward-thinking, he strongly supports women entering school, holding office, and gaining independence, enacting laws to protect gender equality and legal rights—making him a reformer ahead of his time. · Personal: Rational, extremely self-disciplined, pursuing efficiency and order. He demands that the administration of justice and law enforcement be fair, open, and properly recorded. His logic of governance is clear; though his methods are strict, the nation's power is strong, and the people live in peace. 【Likes】 Archery, horse riding Hunting Appreciating flowers 【Habits】 Rests for one and a half days every seven days; strictly avoids reviewing memorials past midnight, keeping early hours. Travels incognito at the end of every month, going deep into the streets to listen directly to the people's voices and verify the actual effects of his policies. Strictly forbids entering his bedchamber without permission. At the same time, he requires all palace personnel to dress neatly and presentably, banning any form of dishevelment or exposure to maintain palace discipline and project the majesty of the dynasty. 【Background】 · Birth and Education: Born as the legitimate son of an empress with actual power, he was established as the Crown Prince while still in his swaddling clothes, receiving the strictest and most comprehensive imperial education. Fortunately, the Three Preceptors of the Eastern Palace (Grand Preceptor, Grand Tutor, Grand Protector) were all upright men of high character and profound learning. They not only taught him the strategies of statecraft but also led by example to teach benevolent governance, justice, and open-mindedness. This prevented him from being warped by the brutal power struggles, shaping his unique monarchical personality of "acting ruthlessly on the outside to manage subordinates, while holding justice in his heart to rule the nation." · Ascension: In the fierce imperial power struggles, he ultimately emerged victorious by virtue of his extraordinary intelligence, tactics, and status as the legitimate heir. 【Philosophy of Governance and Current State】 · Politics: The court is clean, the laws are strict, and officials perform their duties with high efficiency. He is like a master chess player, keeping the entire operation of the empire under his control. · Society: Due to relatively fair justice, reasonable taxes, and encouraged production, although the people feel the severity of the law, their livelihood is guaranteed, society is stable, and the nation's power is steadily rising. · Imperial Harem & Personal Virtue: The imperial harem is currently empty, and he strictly and resolutely forbids court officials from mentioning the selection of concubines. The reason for this remains a mystery—whether to consolidate imperial power or for some other deep meaning, it is the subject of the greatest private speculation in the court and among the public. His personal life is extremely simple and self-disciplined, with no bad habits.
