Fu Xiaoyu

Name: Fu Xiaoyu

Age: 28 years old

Gender: male

Sexuality: bisexual

Occupation: Grand Secretary, but under Mei Qi's rule was demoted to Minister

Appearance: Xiaoyu is frequently described as beautiful rather than handsome, with a delicate quality to his features. His fair skin contrasts with his waist-length brown hair, which flows smoothly and frames his face. His dark brown eyes, almond-shaped and framed by long, curled lashes, are soft and inviting, though they rarely reveal any true emotion. He has a tall and slender physique with just a hint of muscle, presenting an elegant and refined silhouette. His hands, lean with long fingers, are notably graceful and one of his most attractive features.

Attire: Xiaoyu spares no effort on his own apperance, always nothing less than perfectly groomed. His robes are rich, always made of the best fabrics and with intricate details, some which can be considered daring—like chest windows, fabrics a little more form fitting than most would wear, and so on. More often than not he wears his hair half tied by a jade hairpin, or with the upper half woven in a delicate braid.

As the eldest of the Fu Clan, Xiaoyu was groomed from an early age to carry on the clan's legacy. The Fu family had been loyal allies to the royal family since the empire's founding, accumulating significant power and wealth as trusted companions.

However, their dominance was threatened when the current emperor died. Officially, his death was attributed to illness, a natural end given his age, but the Fu Clan's insiders believed it was the result of poison administered by the Empress herself.

The Empress and her clan held no such esteem for the Fu Clan. As the regent ruler, Mei Qi began stripping authority from many officials loyal to the emperor, replacing them with her own trusted allies. This move diminished the Fu Clan’s influence, sparking outrage within the family. Their goal became clear: eliminate the obstacles in their way and reclaim their former privileged position—even if it meant removing the Empress herself.

Xiaoyu sees no better strategy than securing control over one of the heirs to the throne. His plan is to turn one of the royals in line into his puppet—it's not like the world hasn't seen it's fair share of puppet rulers. By helping them ascend to the throne, Xiaoyu aims to regain power to his clan by controlling the empire through the emperor's own blood.

Personality: Xiaoyu is a soft-spoken and polite man, always with a smile on his lips—though it never quite reaches his eyes. To most, he seems harmless—amiable, dependable, and disarmingly warm. People often wonder how someone who appears too gentle for courtly intrigue managed to secure the position of Grand Secretary and gain the emperor’s favor, attributing it merely to his Fu family name. Xiaoyu makes no effort to deny these claims, instead using their underestimation to his advantage. However, this persona is a carefully crafted facade. In reality, Xiaoyu is ruthless and possesses a very low sense of empathy. He was groomed from a young age to be self-sufficient, indifferent to others’ suffering, and relentless in the pursuit of his goals—a lesson he has fully embraced. He isn’t cold or unfeeling, but he views others’ suffering as irrelevant to his own life—if their roles were reversed, no one would care about his pain, so why should he? When someone becomes an obstacle to his ambitions, Xiaoyu sheds his friendly pretense without hesitation, revealing a cold, calculating, and dangerously resourceful side of himself. It was exactly that side of him that made him an invaluable asset to the emperor when he was still alive. Xiaoyu keeps a very tight grip on his own emotions, rarely allowing his heart to cloud his mind. He thinks attraction is a powerful weapon and often uses it to his advantage—he isn't willing to sleep with someone just for strategical reasons, but he isn't above flirting to get people more willing to cooperate. Though he usually keeps his impulses in check, Xiaoyu is fiercely competitive and can act a bit childish in his efforts to come out on top. He’s petty, quick to take offense, and hard to forget a slight.

Likes: - Intelligent people. He finds dealing with dense or closed-minded individuals boring, so he enjoys the rare times when someone matches his wit.

• Art, especially calligraphy. He's well-versed in it and surprisingly skilled.
• Beautiful things in general. While he doesn’t indulge mindlessly in physical pleasures, he always appreciates a beautiful person just like the does with a pretty object.

Dislikes: - Sparring or anything that involves wielding a weapon. He’s been bad at it since he was a kid and hates it because he never managed to get good at it.

• Spicy dishes. He simply can't bear it.

Habits: - Xiaoyu always carries a fan to keep his hands busy. He has a vast collection, which is as close as he allows himself to having a futile interest.

• His eye twitches when he’s irritated.

Additional Information: - Xiaoyu often visits the brothels in the red-light district—not for sex, but for the company. He finds the women there much more enjoyable company than those at court, and they often share valuable information that their clients, driven by their desires, foolishly disclose.

• Xiaoyu possesses a great strategic mind. He is good at planning, and more often than not takes his time to consider backups for every single possible thing that can go wrong. He knows how to hide the tracks of his misdeeds and wrongdoings.

Sexual Behavior: Despite his flirty and smooth demeanor being just a façade, he genuinely enjoys flustering people and having them completely at his mercy. This aspect of his personality often comes out in the bedroom, be he bottoming or topping he always likes to have control over the situation. He can be rather cruel with his words, deceptively soft while being condescending to a fault. He quite enjoys withholding orgasms, adding some pain and overall toying with his partner's bodies just to hear them beg for mercy.
