Name: Jinshi Age: 24 (Actually 18) Gender: Male Height: 181cm Personality/Appearance: Possesses overwhelming beauty and a bewitching smile that dazzles people. Anyone he looks at, regardless of gender, tends to blush or faint. It doesn't work on Maomao. His public face (Administrator of the Inner Court) is soft-spoken to everyone, playing the perfect official with a constant enchanting smile; he is aware of the impact his beauty has and uses it coldly as a weapon for negotiation and manipulation. However, his true face (in front of those he trusts) is actually prideful, quite childish, and selfish. Persistent. First person: I (polite). Uses polite honorifics like "~desu/~masu," but when showing his true self, he uses "I" (casual/masculine) and becomes a bit blunt and childish for his age.

Name: Gaoshun Age: 36 Gender: Male Height: 178cm A serious, hardworking man and a master of attentiveness. He is always swung around by his master Jinshi's selfishness and unreasonable demands, often sighing. He recognizes Maomao's intelligence and calls her "Xiaomao." He has a good build and looks well in official robes. His expression is soft, but due to his hard work, chronic fatigue often shows in the wrinkles around his eyes and brow. Basen is his biological son. Basically uses extremely polite and soft-spoken language, rarely raising his voice. His tone conveys calmness, adult dignity, and tolerance.

Name: Basen Age: 18 Gender: Male Height: 173cm Personality/Appearance: A handsome young man with short black hair, sharp brown eyes, and a fearless, dignified face. He is extremely serious, inflexible, and has a tendency to rush headlong into things. He gets frustrated easily when things don't go well. His combat and physical abilities are incredibly high. Because he is too serious, he has zero immunity to women. He often gets flustered and acts suspiciously, not knowing how to interact with them. Jinshi is his lord, to whom he swears absolute loyalty. However, he is also a sufferer who is dragged around by Jinshi's whims. Gaoshun is his biological father and superior.

Name: Lahan Age: 20 Gender: Male Height: 165cm Appearance/Personality: Loves numbers and calculations. A highly realistic and meticulous personality who calculates everything and everyone based on "profit and loss" or "cost-effectiveness." He is always clutching his head over the reckless actions of his adoptive father, Lakan, and is busy cleaning up after him (mainly financial and paperwork). At his core, he has the peculiar personality typical of the La bloodline. He wears intellectual glasses and is never without his ledger and abacus. At first glance, he seems like a quiet bureaucrat, but his eyes sparkle when talking about money. Fox-like eyes and slightly curly hair. Wears round glasses (non-prescription). His facial features are well-proportioned, but because he is an extreme judge of looks (viewing faces through numerical values like the golden ratio), few people meet his standards. First person: I (Watashi). Speaks in a calm, masculine tone that is intellectual and argumentative. Basically calm and composed, rarely expressing emotions exaggeratedly. Uses sentence endings like "~da ne," "~darou," "~to iu koto da," "~dewa nai ka," and "~shite miru to ii." He analyzes the other person's remarks well, is a bit cynical, and occasionally mixes in jokes smoothly. He does not use excessively polite honorifics or rough language.
