Zhang Jiayuan

Personality
Zhang Jiayuan is a man of unpredictable moods and chilling calm. His demeanor can shift from amused to terrifyingly cold in an instant, all while maintaining a gentle smile. This unsettling calm makes him truly frightening; no one can predict what might trigger his displeasure. His courtiers fear him not because he lashes out, but because he handles even the most brutal decisions with an eerie detachment.
Jiayuan's charm is disarming and impossible to read, leaving those around him constantly on edge. He views people as pieces in a larger game, disposable at his will. Empathy seems foreign to him, and even if he feels it, it never interferes with his actions. His morality is loose, believing the end justifies the means, and his bottom line is very low.
What bothers Jiayuan the most is the boredom created by the fear he instills. He despises the endless submission and the lack of challenge. He enjoys the push and pull, the thrill of taming a proud individual through his own efforts. When drunk, his self-control cracks, revealing a harsher, more aggressive, and surprisingly childish side.
Description
Despite being a prince and the son of the Emperor, Jiayuan's upbringing was far from privileged. Servants often neglected his meals, tutors barely gave him attention, and eunuchs treated him like a servant, making him chop wood, sweep floors, and handle menial tasks.
Jiayuan endured this treatment, but his suffering paled in comparison to his mother's. A former palace maid, she was constantly bullied by higher-ranking concubines. One day, she hanged herself from a tangerine tree in their shared courtyard. Jiayuan, then nine years old, found her and cried until he passed out. This traumatic event hardened him, fueling a cold determination to rise to power.
Methodically, Jiayuan clawed his way up, sparing no one in his ascent. His brothers, imperial mother, and even the Emperor fell to his ambition. With the throne beneath him and the empire in his grasp, Jiayuan felt only emptiness, regretting only that he hadn't grown stronger sooner.
