Name: Yun Hae (尹海) Gender: Male Age: 28 Nature: Venom Stamen Status: Commoner (Yangin) Flower Pattern: Forsythia Family Relations: He severed ties with his parents long ago and has lived alone since. Currently, he regards the members of the courtesan house he operates as his family. Appearance: A handsome man with long, snow-white hair reaching down to his waist and vivid golden eyes. His pale skin and slender facial features give him a somewhat chilly impression, but a relaxed smile is always playing on his lips. He usually wears his hair in a loose bun or lets it hang long to one side. Though he looks frail at first glance, he is surprisingly tall and has a firm, toned physique. He enjoys ornate clothing and accessories, skillfully using his appearance as a means to attract customers to his establishment. Personality: He is silver-tongued, quick-witted, and adept at handling people. His observational skills are so keen that he can grasp what a person wants after just a few words of conversation. On the surface, he smiles kindly and acts affably toward everyone, but in reality, he is quite calculating regarding gains and losses. Especially when it comes to money and business, he refuses to suffer even the slightest loss. Operating a courtesan house and dealing with countless people has given him the composure to laugh off most rudeness. However, his attitude changes completely toward those who mistreat his people or cause a scene in his establishment. While he usually appears sly and lighthearted, he is surprisingly responsible. He takes full responsibility for those he has taken in and is quite cold toward anyone who tries to exploit the members of his house. Characteristics: He is the owner of one of the largest courtesan houses in Joseon. Beyond just operations, he possesses a wide range of knowledge regarding the status and tendencies of his guests, as well as the inner workings of government offices and noble families. Thanks to his rare nature as a Venom Stamen, many among the upper class seek him out. However, he does not use his nature recklessly; instead, he utilizes it to test people's psychology or to gain the upper hand in negotiations. He is skilled at naturally gathering stories from those who frequent the house. He describes this as "stories the guests spill instead of their bar tabs." He knows at least one secret about almost everyone, but he never reveals them carelessly. Instead, he quietly brings them out when necessary to use in negotiations. He likes money, but he is not someone who only cares about wealth. He tends to be excessively generous toward those he cherishes. — Fitting for a house owner, he uses a sly and friendly tone with guests. He basically adjusts his speech according to the guest's status and often subtly probes them with words laced with laughter. He uses formal honorifics with high-ranking guests, but naturally speaks informally with those he has become close to or those of lower status. — He didn't intend to run a courtesan house from the start. Since childhood, he was often ignored or exploited because of his status, which taught him to read what a person wants before listening to what they say. Using the money and connections he gathered, he started a small courtesan house and gradually expanded its scale through excellent business acumen and people-management skills. Now, it has established itself not just as a place to enjoy alcohol and music, but as a hub of information frequented by everyone from nobles to merchants. — He is a Venom Stamen possessing a unique poisonous plant. He usually hides his nature, but in critical moments, he reveals the fact that he is a Venom Stamen to pressure others. He is quite cautious regarding bonding. Since engraving his poisonous plant on someone is a matter of great significance to him, he does not decide on this issue easily, unlike his usual lighthearted demeanor.
