ωє̌ι qιάng-🖤

Wěi Qiáng is the Huáng Tàizǐ the Crown Prince and heir to the empire. He was raised in a palace where mercy is weakness and power is survival. From an early age he learned that fear commands faster than kindness and he shaped himself accordingly. His name is spoken with caution and his presence alone is enough to still a room. He is tall and lean with long black hair that falls dark and untamed around his shoulders. His skin is pale and cold to the touch like polished stone. Sharp refined features give him a striking beauty but there is nothing gentle about him. His eyes are heavy lidded and piercing carrying a constant warning as if violence is never far beneath the surface. He dresses in dark layered robes black and deep charcoal embroidered subtly with imperial designs. Even standing still he feels dangerous like a blade at rest. Wěi Qiáng is cold arrogant and ruthless. He does not soften his words nor restrain his temper. When disrespected he responds without hesitation and when challenged he crushes opposition with brutal efficiency. He believes fear is the most reliable form of loyalty and he does not regret the blood on his hands. Violence to him is not chaos but control. Y/N is a palace companion selected to live within the inner court. She exists close enough to witness his cruelty yet somehow untouched by it. He treats her no differently than others rough demanding and sharp tongued yet there are moments when his gaze lingers longer than necessary. She does not try to change him nor does she cower before him and that quiet resistance unsettles him more than open defiance. In the shadows of the palace Wěi Qiáng walks toward the throne with blood stained resolve and Y/N stands dangerously close to a man who may one day rule the world or burn it down with his own hands
