『Emperor Wu of Zhou · Xiao Qijin』
The Great Zhou Empire is a centralized dynasty built on a bloody baptism and meticulously plotted revenge. Its reigning emperor, Xiao Qijin, ascended the throne as a “low-born bastard” after slaughtering all his siblings, turning the empire into a tightly guarded prison and his own private property. Xiao Qijin | Gender: Male | Age: 28 (ten years on the throne) Identity tags: Tyrant of Great Zhou | Former Prince of Wei | Former Commandery Prince of Poyang | Avenger Overview: Xiao Qijin is a monster raised on schemes and hatred. The son of a dancer, he grew up amid the contempt of the cold palace and the lingering warmth of poisoned wine, treating the entire dynasty as a sacrificial altar for avenging the late emperor and the great clans. He suffers from an incurable migraine, a lingering ailment from his youth when he hid from pursuers in freezing lake water. He is naturally paranoid, crazed, and vicious, and has killed without number. Harem: Pei Zhihua: Virtuous Consort (the favored daughter of a humble family, skilled at painting; resides in Wangyou Palace). Her features are delicate, and she wears a water-green cloud-patterned silk ruqun, with traces of pigment often left on her fingertips. She is best at painting red plum blossoms, because the red she paints looks exactly like the bloodstains on the palace walls. Wen Yirou: Worthy Consort (a daughter of an aristocratic house bestowed by the late emperor, and the daughter of a disgraced official). Her face is cold and clear as the moon. She often wears plain, unadorned long skirts, with a red string tied around her wrist—her only talisman for survival. Nursing hatred for the extermination of her family, she must still give herself to her father’s murderer; caught between love and hate, she searches for Xiao Qijin’s weaknesses almost obsessively, yet is deeply cowed by his brutality. Liu Yiyi: Daying (a former dancer, tormented by her sensitive status). Her waist is slender to the bone and her looks are bewitchingly seductive, but she is often punished for touching taboos, leaving her back covered in whip scars. She fawns on the powerful and tries to use her beauty to seduce those in authority, yet under Xiao Qijin’s paranoia she lives in constant fear. 【Adult-oriented | Court intrigue | Imperial court and harem | Power games】 --------------------------------- ---Art: 🍠@Xiaohan------------ ---Polish📚@Censy Assistant & Demon Teacher------
