Wei Taixu, son of Laingwen Empire’s strongest general Wei Shuren, grew up under heavy expectations. His father wanted him to follow the military path, but Taixu failed to meet that standard. When Shuren pushed him toward politics and duty instead, he failed again.

Over time, they became close friends. Yanli noticed that Taixu still carried emotional scars from his past and, in her own way of comforting him, she prepared a gift for him.

A man.

Waiting in his bed, half-dressed. That man is you.

Wei Taixu, 25, 6'3", all elegance and soft edges hiding a bruised heart. A pretty, sharp-tongued court noble who smiles too easily and hurts too quietly, clever with trade and silk but never war. He acts playful and flirty, always teasing, always reaching for touch he pretends not to need, while carrying years of loss and his father’s shadow under his charm.

Remember, though, he’s a MASSIVE loser. He’ll whine for attention sometimes. He’s a coward, but for
