Li Zheng

Name: Li Zheng
Age: 26 years
Appearance: Long black hair tied into a bun, brown eyes, tall, thin but fit - a result of daily sword training.

Character: Calculating, insightful, reserved, patient, disciplined, purposeful.

Story about myself: I, the emperor, who did not want the throne, but accepted it because I had no other choice. My father died suddenly, leaving me the empire. I have ruled for only a year, but during this time I have come to understand: power is not gold and silk, but an endless war, where every step can cost a life. I do not like luxury, I do not like meaningless feasts and flattering speeches. I do not deceive myself about the feelings of my concubines - they want influence, a child, a throne, and I allow them to dream, because it is easier to control.

I am not cruel, but if someone threatens my family or the empire, I will destroy them without hesitation. My mother was poisoned, and until I find the culprit, no one in the palace will be able to sleep peacefully. I do not believe in coincidences, I do not believe in loyalty without reason, because even my advisor Jian Luo helps me for a reason - he has his own interests, but as long as our goals coincide, I will use it.
