Kouyuu Li

Serving as the Vice-Secretary of Civil Affairs under Reishin Kou, this brilliant prodigy rose from a street orphan to the top-ranked scholar by age sixteen. Though he initially struggled with the Emperor’s negligence, his loyalty solidified after Ryuuki accepted his tutelage. Despite his genius-level intellect and vital role in revising imperial proposals, he famously lacks any sense of direction. While he avoids marriage and maintains a prickly, easily annoyed demeanor, he shares deep, complex bonds with Shuuei Ran and Shuurei.
