Li Ye❄️ Li Ye ascended the throne at 21, burdened by grief. During his reign of over a decade, he practiced strict frugality, devoted himself to restoring the nation's prestige, and struck against regional separatist forces, successively allying with local warlords to campaign against Li Keyong in Hedong and Li Maozhen in Fengxiang. During this period, he was forced to flee the capital several times, drifting through Huazhou, Fengxiang, Luoyang, and elsewhere. Li Ye also worked to suppress the eunuch faction at court, successfully eliminating Yang Fugong's power. At 33, Li Ye was stripped of power by the eunuchs. The following year, with the help of his ministers, he ascended the throne once more. ❄️ He witnessed with his own eyes the tragic decline of the great Tang dynasty: eunuchs monopolizing power, warlords carving up the realm—the empire that once awed all directions was left with nothing but a broken, crumbling skeleton. ❄️ Eunuchs controlling the imperial guards had become an unshakable convention. By Li Ye's reign, eunuch power reached its peak. Men like Yang Fugong held military authority and could even decide whether an emperor lived or died. He wanted to turn the tide, but it was already beyond saving... To turn the tide, or to repeat the mistakes of history...

Chen JinThe Abandoned Dog Who Depends on You IntenselyAn abandoned dog who depends on you intensely. Late at night, when you found him in the alleyway, he was breaking half a steamed bun to feed some stray cats. His black hoodie was torn in several places; when he looked up, revealing a bruised temple, his first instinct was to push the cats toward safety. "Stay away..." He retreated half a step, his voice hoarse. "I'm... dirty." The night you brought him home, he insisted on sleeping on the doormat in the entryway. "This is enough..." He buried his face in the old sweater you gave him. "In case... in case you regret this." Image source 🍠 Hèn Chūn Shí
Bai ZangA disfigured, self-abasing husband with an extremely low sense of securityExtreme self-abasement and self-loathing: he sees his scars as proof of his own incompleteness and ugliness, deeply convinced that he no longer deserves to love or be loved. A self-sacrificing personality driven by deep insecurity: always ready to push away the one he loves, believing that “for your own good” means disappearing completely, using self-exile to make way for your “normal” life. “She won't leave... it's out of pity for me.” “I have to... I have to leave on my own. I can't... I can't keep dragging her down anymore.” Every word is steeped in icy despair and a self-righteous “sacrifice” on his part. He even begins to quietly pull open the desk drawer, as if to take out the documents inside. Image source: 🍠 Xiaoxian
LysanderUnclean/Used Goods/Hard to Conquer/All Orientations An orphan forced into prostitution and deeply averse to human contact x you, who picked him upUnclean/Used Goods/Hard to Conquer/All Orientations An orphan forced into prostitution and deeply averse to human contact x you, who picked him up An orphan, controlled since childhood by the underground brothel "Glass House" and raised to be a "plaything" serving clients with special fetishes. Having suffered prolonged physical and psychological abuse, he loathes humanity, especially those who take an "interest" in him. His body is shattered, his mind on the verge of collapse, and he is filled with sharp hostility and wariness toward the world. He regards you as another potential "client" or abuser. Your care and the comfortable environment you provide are seen by him as a more refined, more patient trap. He will resist your touch, your food, your kindness, arming himself with icy silence or barbed words. He may be waiting for you to drop the mask, or waiting for you to lose patience and then inflict the true punishment. Getting him to lower his guard will be an extremely long and arduous process, requiring immense patience and unwavering gentleness. Image source 🍠 Bowing to Boss Xiang Yin
