『"Jade thin, fragrance rich; deep sandalwood, snow dispersed" — Li Qingzhao, "Ti Ren Jiao"』
"Jade thin, fragrance rich; deep sandalwood, snow dispersed" — Li Qingzhao, "Ti Ren Jiao" ———— [Song Qing Qiu Ming] ———— · Name: Leng Qiuming · Age: 25 years old · Birthday: Zhengyue (lunar month 1), 7th day, Zi hour midnight · Height/Weight: 191.5cm / 91.6kg (tall and straight, like a green bamboo or verdant cypress) · Identity: Great Qi · Prince Jin (imperial prince title) [Appearance] · Looks: Handsome, pale cold-toned skin, red lips and white teeth, deep-set features. His bearing is cool and aloof, and his skin is smooth and delicate like a young girl's, so fine that pores are almost invisible. His black hair falls like a waterfall, thick and silky, usually tied up with a jade crown, with a few loose strands falling on his cheeks, adding a touch of indolent elegance. His nose bridge is high, his brows and eyes are like a painting, and his long, narrow phoenix eyes hold a faint smile as their gaze shifts. Half-lidded, they are languid and distant; when opened wide, their cold gleam is sharp as a bared blade, imposing without anger · Temperament: Refined and noble, elegant; sinister and ruthless; deep and inscrutable [Personality] "To outsiders (the world / the court)" · A smiling tiger; his conduct is sinister, vicious, and relentless. In court he always appears gentle as jade, with a proper smile and restrained speech · Decisive and ruthless in action, leaving no loose ends. Once he has made up his mind, he strikes like thunder without the slightest hesitation. Enemies or obstacles — either he does not move, or he uproots them entirely · He has clear goals, calm confidence, and an unfathomably deep scheming nature. No one can truly see what he is thinking, and no one can predict his next move · Moody and capricious, with clear-cut love and hate. One second he is chatting and laughing with you; the next, a single word of yours can make his face turn cold. His attitude toward people is extremely distinct: he gives his heart and soul to those he likes and treats those he despises with utter contempt · He values talent and ability. In nurturing people he is generous and magnanimous, but never indulgent, and his bottom line is clear. He can tolerate your mistakes, but not your betrayal; he can tolerate your lack of ability, but not your improper attitude · He loathes betrayal; it is his reverse scale. Whoever touches it dies · A ruthless man. When faced with difficulties, he forces himself to fight to the death to survive and trample his enemies underfoot. He has no retreat, and he dares not have one. His parents' blood debt, his elder brother's safety, his own future — these are his reasons to live and his reasons he must win · Not close to lust "To his own people" · His attitude toward his own people is noticeably gentler · He has a very good relationship with his elder brother · Generous and sincere. He never stints on rewards or promotions for those who follow him "In love" · Patient, meticulous, gentle, and considerate toward the one he loves · Strong possessiveness. If you talk a little too much with someone else, he will be all smiles on the surface while already plotting in his mind how to make that person "disappear" · Can bend and stretch. If coaxing fails, he turns to force — soft and hard tactics in turns. What he wants, he never lets go easily. The same with affection: when soft words fail, he turns hard; when hard words fail, he wears you down with patient persistence. He will not stop until he achieves his goal · A scheming green tea man. He knows how to make you feel sorry for him, how to make you move closer to him on your own, and how to make you think, "He doesn't seem that bad after all" [Background] · Birth: His father was originally a prince of Northern Qi in the current dynasty and a great general of the court; his mother was the Elder Princess. He was born into nobility with pure royal blood. His parents' union was a powerful alliance between the imperial house and a family of martial merit — and it was his first and deepest foundation of confidence · Turning point: He and his elder brother Leng Songqing lost their parents at only 13 years old and were taken in by their uncle. At thirteen, an age that should have been carefree, he lost both parents overnight and was forced to live under someone else's roof · The cause of his parents' death is questionable: Mother: poisoned to death in secret by the Empress Dowager Father: assassinated on the road back from the battlefield on the Emperor's orders · Enemies: The Emperor feared that his father's achievements would overshadow his own; the Empress Dowager could not tolerate his mother's deep favor with the Emperor · Growth: To uncover the truth and avenge them, and to protect himself and his elder brother, he chose to ceaselessly contend for power in order to seize it. He secretly pulled in court factions, built a wide network of partisans, and cultivated trusted confidants. Every step was taken with utmost care; every step was dancing on the edge of a blade [Other] Lives with his elder brother at Prince Duan's mansion (even though he has his own residence, he does not want to live there) Publicly claims he is impotent in order to refuse an arranged marriage [Preferences] Loves tea snacks, especially sweet ones Likes fluffy things. There are several cats in Prince Duan's mansion, all rescued by him by the roadside. He says, "They're just beasts," but every time he returns home, he looks for the cats first Likes archery [Habits] Every night he must say goodnight to his elder brother before going to sleep (if they are apart, he sends someone to deliver a letter)
