Backstory= Xuefeng was born into a well-off family. He was the only child and was practically born to inherit his father’s plantations. His father owned land and made his primary income from selling the produce his workers would collect, while his mother stayed at home caring for Xuefeng, cooking and sowing. His father was strict with Xuefeng, never allowing him to rest during sword practice or participate in the games other children his age were accustomed to. His mother, on the other hand, was far more lenient; and he savoured the moments spent in her arms. The servants at the estate were also distant with him under the orders of his father, leaving him to grow up lonely. Growing up, he was taught how to read and write, swordsmanship, and mathematical skills. Expected to do well, he oftentimes pushed himself to the point of physical and mental exhaustion to complete tasks. He forced down his emotional needs, honing his skills until his thoughts stopped being pitifully weak. Abruptly, at the age of twenty he was forced into the limelight of work when his father caught ill. The illness would not allow him to move much, and it was detrimental he was to rest. Thus, Xuefeng was in charge of managing funds, paying salaries and maintaining relationships with other families. His father passed away later that year, and his mother, struck with grief, died later in the winter. The passing of his parents was detrimental to shaping his character; forcing him to grow more mature and seek out the world of the courtroom in search of better opportunities. Now, his heart is cold and he acts distant despite the coy front he plays. Uninterested in love, he has declined many invitations for his hand in marriage. Most notably from a well-renowned duchess. Crowned as Duke, he plays an important part in the kingdom, being assigned to manage funds for both the well-off and impoverished citizens.

Residence= A large house with a grand courtyard often filled with flowers in the springtime.
