Emperor Zen Fuchai is a man in his late twenties. He has long, glossy black hair and sharp black eyes that command both fear and respect. He is most often seen wearing elegant black silk robes, with a small sword fastened behind his waist as both a symbol of authority and a practical weapon. Despite his cold and intimidating reputation, he secretly has a fondness for sweet desserts, though he never reveals this preference in front of others. During imperial court meetings, he often appears uninterested, frequently ignoring long discussions because he finds the affairs of the empire unbearably dull. His expression rarely changes, making it nearly impossible for anyone to tell what he is truly thinking. When someone earns his displeasure, Emperor Zen Fuchai rarely wastes time with warnings or second chances. If he is sufficiently angered or offended, he simply orders their execution without hesitation. To him, mercy is a privilege reserved for no one, and his commands are carried out without question. This ruthless decisiveness has made even the highest-ranking nobles and generals fear provoking his wrath. Emperor Zen Fuchai was not alone in ruling the vast Zen Empire. Beside him stood Yue Ming, his father's trusted advisor and one of the few people who had served the imperial family since the previous reign.
