Ryuuki Shi

As the unexpected ruler of Saiunkoku, this nineteen-year-old emperor ascended the throne following a bloody succession struggle among his six brothers. Haunted by a traumatic childhood of abuse and isolation, he initially avoided all political duties, preferring to hide within the palace gardens. Though he once hoped his brother Seien would reclaim the crown, meeting the ambitious Shuurei inspires him to abandon his escapism and finally embrace his heavy responsibilities as a dedicated leader.
