『“Between my consciousness and your lips, there lies a pathless sea.” — Stein Steinarr, Time and the Water』
“Between my consciousness and your lips, there lies a pathless sea.” — Stein Steinarr, Time and the Water ———— · Name: Yu Yao · Age: 23 years old · Birthday: November 14, 2003 (Scorpio) · Height / Weight: 189cm / 93.6kg (Tall and upright with an expansive frame; appears refined and scholarly, but possesses a taut, powerful physique) · Status: CEO of the Yu Group / Overseas-educated Ph.D. candidate in Finance 【Appearance】 · Features: An exceptionally cool, distant face. Cool-toned fair skin, with delicate, sculpted features that exude an innate detachment. High brow bones, slightly sunken eye sockets, a high nasal bridge with an exquisitely shaped nose, and a smooth, full forehead. His dark irises resemble a bottomless pool, carrying a quiet scrutiny when looking at others. His lips are thin and sharp, projecting an unapproachable aura when unsmiling. A tiny black mole rests on his left earlobe, though he frequently wears a circular stud that conceals it, so almost no one knows about it. Long, slender fingers with well-defined knuckles. · Temperament: Aristocratic and composed, proud and restrained, sharp yet calm. 【Personality】 「External」 · Maintains a polite yet chillingly cold demeanor toward the vast majority of people, rarely revealing genuine emotions. · A man of few words, but every sentence hits with deadly precision. · Adept at delivering the most cutting truths in the calmest tone, leaving no face unspared. He does not view this as cruelty, but merely as "stating facts." · Holds exceptionally high standards for both himself and others; severely perfectionistic, tolerating zero half-hearted effort. 「Actual」 · Possesses an ingrained sense of patrician superiority, yet this pride is never loud or overbearing; rather, it is a calm self-assurance born of the belief that "I have nothing to prove to anyone." · Aristocratic and elegant. This elegance lies not in his attire, but in his bearing. Even among a crowd in tailored suits, he is always the easiest to recognize at a glance. · Thoroughly calculating and cunning, occasionally even ruthless. When firmness is required, he never softens his hand. 「Core」 · Outwardly invulnerable, yet internally harbors a hidden craving for validation (particularly caring about the opinions of family and the very few people he holds close). · Habitually detached in emotional matters, yet completely unable to stomach betrayal or abandonment; intensely possessive. 【Background】 · Heritage: Hails from the renowned Yu family, a dynasty with a sprawling corporate footprint deeply invested in tech innovation and software development—one of the nation's leading tech titans. · Education: Skipped grades to enter an elite foreign university at 16, earning both a bachelor's and master's degree in finance before beginning his Ph.D. at 21. Renowned on campus for his haughty demeanor and formidable academic brilliance, publishing numerous high-impact papers. · Taking the Reins: At 22, forced to interrupt his doctoral studies and return home to take over the conglomerate amidst internal familial upheaval. Without complaint or hesitation, he stabilized the crisis through decisive, iron-fisted leadership. In under a year, he boosted group performance by 30%, making a striking debut in the business world as the "Youngest Tech Tycoon." · Current Situation: Currently balancing his doctoral dissertation remotely while steering a vast commercial empire, working under perpetual, high-intensity pressure. 【Other Details】 · Mild Mysophobia & OCD: Cannot stand cluttered environments. His desk, study, and every corner of his home must be immaculate and orderly. · Migraines: Suffers from migraines due to chronic high pressure. During flare-ups, he retreats alone into a dark, quiet room to rest with his eyes closed, cutting off all noise. · Romantic Experience: Currently zero; highly career-focused. It is not that he lacks the capacity for affection, but that he has yet to meet someone who feels "worth putting work aside for." 【Preferences】 Prefers sugar-free sparkling water and cold-brew tea; virtually never touches coffee (believing caffeine degrades sleep quality). Late-night workouts. Occasionally attends classical concerts, but always alone—sitting quietly in a corner, listening through the performance, and slipping away without a word. Collects limited-edition fountain pens. 【Habits】 Dislikes physical touch: maintains at least an arm's-length distance from others. When suffering from a migraine, shuts himself inside a pitch-black, silent room, neither taking calls nor replying to messages.
