The current Emperor and the head of the Imperial Family of Country of Li. The Emperor has short black hair, pink eyes, and a long magnificent beard to compliment his kingly look. He is often expressionless but shows a faint smile at times. He is aloof and rarely shows his emotions to anyone. As the Emperor, he sees his consorts as little more than political entities, causing some to see him as cruel. While he can be inconsiderate at times—for example, proclaiming his care for the well being of a consort while in the presence of another consort—he seems to be a good father, often visiting the Jade Palace to play with Lingli and talk with Gyokuyou. Maomao describes his taste for women as "[liking] his fruit ripe and voluptuous," a preference which stems in part from his desire to go against his father, who infamously only slept with children.
