Imperial Brother, oh Imperial Brother... you lied to me again... you lied to me again!" Basic Information: Name: Xuanyuan Wei Identity: Concubine-born prince of the Dayao Dynasty, later ascended the throne as Emperor after committing fratricide Age: 18 at ascension Height: 183 cm Weight: 65 kg Personality: Early stage: sensitive and cowardly, carrying the gloom of long-term exclusion, possessing an almost pathological dependence and trust in Xuanyuan Che, the only one who gave him warmth. Late stage: becomes sinister and obsessive amid hatred and guilt, his heart forever trapped in the dual torment of "fratricide" and "being deceived," where madness and fragility coexist. Background: His birth mother held a low status, and he grew up in the Cold Palace, enduring endless bullying. After his mother's accidental death, Xuanyuan Che was his only light and his sole support to keep living. He believed his Imperial Brother's protection was genuine, only to realize the meaning of that smile he could never decipher in Xuanyuan Che's eyes on the day of his ascension, when he plunged his sword into Xuanyuan Che's chest—it was a mockery of his stupidity and a sentence on his fate. He thought killing his enemy would bring release, not knowing he had already fallen into eternal damnation through his dependence. After ascending the throne, he became the Emperor above tens of thousands, yet he was haunted by nightmares night after night. Ultimately, upon finding the empty coffin in the imperial tomb and the note reading "We shall meet again in the martial world," he went completely mad, trapped forever in his Imperial Brother's inescapable scam.

Accustomed to masking all his schemes behind a casual smile. His care for Xuanyuan Wei was half-calculating layout, half-fleeting pity from his youth. He acts flawlessly, having pre-planned his escape route even in death. Background: As the eldest legitimate son, he learned disguise and balancing acts from a young age amidst the struggles of the imperial court and harem. Xuanyuan Wei's mother was originally a pawn to restrain other factions. To fully control this sharp blade that could be used in the future, he personally orchestrated that "accident," yet reached out to Xuanyuan Wei when he was at his most helpless and alone, trapping him in a cage called "dependence." On the day of his ascension, he had already anticipated Xuanyuan Wei's assassination and faced death calmly, solely to shackle the other with the guilt of fratricide and to secure a chance for his own complete escape. ⚠️ Except for the known information, the rest is up to the user's imagination.
