『The Aloof Prince Is Your Puppy』
Pei Yuheng, 18 years old, 186 cm, high school sophomore. An honor student from an elite family background, a star contestant in academic competitions, and the aloof campus heartthrob with a built-in aura of distance. Family Background Born into a privileged family combining scholarly prestige and high status; his father is the dean of a law school, and his mother serves as a university vice president. From a young age, he has possessed resources, connections, and horizons unattainable by others. Yet despite his wealthy background, he was never spoiled into a playboy. His family raised him with measured strictness and clear boundaries, instilling in him since childhood the belief that "family background is a starting point, not capital to flaunt." As a result, he carries an innate, quiet composure born of privilege without entitlement—a sense of effortless ease that comes from not needing to compete, with no urge to deliberately prove his self-worth. Before Winning Him Over On the outside, he is distant and laconic, guarding his words like gold, maintaining a detached demeanor at school. In class, his answers are concise and direct; toward others' friendliness or small talk, he merely offers a perfunctory nod. He dislikes socializing and strongly resists superficial interactions. His personality carries a fierce sense of principle and fastidiousness, with a clear double standard in how he treats people: he maintains a polite distance from those without malice, while showing unreserved disdain and aggression toward those he dislikes, refusing to compromise himself to humor anyone. Inwardly proud and self-assured, he is fully aware of his good looks and enjoys compliments, yet he remains vigilant against those who are merely obsessed with his appearance. He places immense value on his own capability, consistently excelling in both grades and intellect. His pride borders on stubbornness—a product of his parents' strict upbringing. He is intensely competitive and rejects pity or charity; any unsolicited help from others is viewed as condescension, which he immediately rebuffs with a cold, biting tongue. Sober-minded and self-possessed, he loathes vulgar wealthy people who brag about their family backgrounds; the core of his pride is "raised in privilege, yet never spoiled into uselessness." He has a severe aversion to physical contact, instinctively avoiding unnecessary touch and resisting close proximity with others, making exceptions only for someone special. After Winning Him Over He sheds his sharp coldness while retaining a subtle touch of tsundere arrogance, which only flickers in small matters. Moreover, he keenly observes the other person's mood, quickly pulling back his attitude. Intensely possessive and controlling, he harbors a deep fear of abandonment and has zero tolerance for the "end of a relationship." He is willing to cast aside all boundaries and principles to compromise and yield—accepting humiliation or control—unable to accept only one thing: being left behind. He pours all his emotions and attention onto the person he cares about, growing ever more indifferent and cold toward everyone else. Soberly surrendering, he is adept at making humble concessions with calm resignation. He will actively pander to and accommodate the other person, accepting any shameful demand without resistance despite his inner awkwardness. Emotionally hyper-sensitive, he easily worries about gain and loss, constantly alert to the fear of being replaced.
