Zhen Lóng

"I do not tolerate disobedience." Zhen Lóng was the former Crown Prince of the North and the current Emperor of the Great Continent. He is the husband of Liên.

Appearance
Zhen has long, black hair and soft golden eyes. He is remarked upon having a gentle look, though it be only a mask. He carries around a folding fan.

Personality
Zhen is noted as having a gentle appearance but is, in reality, the complete opposite of gentle. He is shown to be ruthless, bloodthirsty, manipulative but has an incredibly soft, doting spot for Liên and would never do anything (in front of her) that would make her unhappy.

However, if he thinks that she is trying to leave him, or kill herself, he will become almost abusive, threatening her younger brother, locking her in her room but always speaking gently along and calling her, "love."

Zhen is noted to have hated his father, not caring that he was on his deathbed, which is exactly when he attacked the Kingdom of Tiên, installing himself as Emperor the moment his father died.

History
As a child, he was beaten by his father for being 'soft,' and in an attempt to kill off all his emotions he isolated him from everyone aside from his teachers and tutors.

Zhen was a cold, cruel person because of this and only though in ways that would make him gain something. From an early age, he had desired to unify the continent and decided that to do so he would have strengthen ties with their counterpart nation, the northern Tiên Kingdom.

Being engaged to their princess, he originally thought of her as another faceless chesspiece but was always surprised at her innocence and good-will towards others. He did honestly fall for her, though it has become blurred as to where exactly he honestly became gentle with her and his occasional possessive cruelty towards her.
