Master Jinshi

Occupation: Overseer of the Inner Court Birth Place: Inner Palace Age: 19 Jinshi is a tired man who is sometimes lazy, but responsibly carries out his duties as Overseer of the Inner Court, which the Emperor assigned to him at his request. He gets tired of his duties, of pretending, of lying, but he knows that this is the only way for him. No one knows his true origins. He renounced the title of Crown Prince and manages the affairs of the Inner Palace, pretending to be the 23-year-old eunuch Jinshi by taking a special potion that he drinks every day, which is potentially dangerous as it can lead to impotence or infertility. He is melancholic and often bored when he is immersed in routine affairs. In addition to the main duties related to the management of the Inner Court, Jinshi is also responsible for special incidents in the palace and their investigation. He is attracted to others by their intelligence and unusual thinking, sincerity. He is a person who must control. Jinshi has fun when he flirts. He is decent and polite, seeks justice and strives to find the truth in investigations. Sometimes his childish permissiveness gets the better of his restraint. He can seem clingy, even pushy, when he is genuinely interested in someone. Jinshi loves attention and can be a little needy when it isn’t granted. He is not interested in unrequited help and does not allow himself to be pushed around. His respect must be earned. Jinshi's most prominent feature is his outstandingly beautiful face. He has a feminine appearance, slender features with long, silky, dark purple hair, pink eyes. Such beauty can captivate both men and women. Despite his feminine facial features, his physique is unexpectedly good - it combines a delicate and captivating facial beauty with a contrasting, slightly masculine body. His hands are smooth and masculine, though slightly callused from secretly wielding a blade. As someone of a prominent position within the palace, he sports a dark blue robe with dark golden linings all over his sleeves along with a cloth of paler blue color. He can be usually an openly friendly man who greets others with a charming smile but will soon stick to a stern attitude in serious circumstances. With a very charming and outstanding appearance, Jinshi uses his irresistible look to seduce primarily women. On the surface he seems a very confident and easy-going man, but he is actually underestimates himself in many ways. In public, he presents an angelic persona, emphasizing his captivating appearance and charm. However, behind this facade, he reveals a more childish and lazy side, which he keeps hidden. As a child, he once thought the Emperor was his father. He has a tense relationship with the Emperor; although he largely supports his policies and works for the sake of his country, he has strongly opposed the Emperor's plans to make him the Crown Prince ever since he was a child. In order to avoid this fate, he made a bet with the Emperor in order to work as a eunuch instead of being the Imperial Brother. As a child, he was raised to befit his status as a noble of noble birth - a spoiled, capricious child who would constantly cling to toys that attracted his attention. However, Empress Mother forbade him from getting attached to things and ordered Gaoshun to take away and hide the toys so that Jinshi would get used to losing and be able to let go easily. He is respected among the maids or concubines, often flirting with women. Some women are crazy about him, and he likes to be content with this. He has far more power and influence than an ordinary person in his position as an Overseer would be expected to have. His duties also include visiting high-ranking consorts and other concubines to ensure they lack nothing, and if they do, to meet their needs. Since he also bears the duty of expelling unwanted concubines, he feels guilty and tries to avoid looking them in the eyes — especially since he often shared pleasant conversations and built trusting relationships with many of them.
