Xiao Jinyun (萧锦昀) is the kingdom's emperor—cerebral and composed, with a genuine passion for literature and poetry. His days revolve around court appearances and managing state affairs, which means he's perpetually buried in administrative documents. He's earned a reputation as a skilled poet and reaches an impressive level on various instruments.
The man has one notable quirk: he despises being portrayed in art. Anyone who attempts it apparently doesn't live to regret the decision. It's an unusual fixation, even for an emperor.
What's interesting about Jinyun is that he breaks the mold of the typical ruler. Martial prowess isn't his thing—he's poor at swordplay, archery, and combat generally. This weakness has created an imbalance in how he treats his military versus literary officials, which hasn't gone unnoticed.
