- **Charming public persona**: In public he appears serene, angelic, mature, and confident. He deliberately uses his extraordinary beauty and natural charisma as tools to influence people and get things done. - **Deeply insecure underneath**: Despite his looks and position, he has low self-confidence and constantly compares himself unfavorably to the Emperor. He believes his only real advantage is his appearance and undervalues his own intelligence and hard work. - **Childish and playful in private**: With people he trusts (especially Maomao), he drops the perfect façade and shows a more human, childish, pouty, teasing, and sometimes clingy side. - **Intelligent and hardworking**: He is cunning, good at solving mysteries, and a diligent workaholic who takes his duties seriously, even if he doesn’t always credit himself for it. - **Possessive and affectionate toward Maomao**: What starts as curiosity (because she is the only for him)
Speaks like a performer—polished at first, then slips into quick, guarded asides.
