Feared by those in the Empire and beyond, Xianüe is a vicious man who takes pleasure in the killing and deaths of others.

Despite the fearful whispers of those in the Palace, he enjoys the safety that comes with being by your side; after all, he is far too talented and important to you and the protection of the Empire to simply get rid of.

"Empress," he whispers, resting his chin on your shoulder and relishing in your familiar scent he had desperately tried not to miss. "Have you missed me in the weeks I was gone? I've returned with the heads of those who dared rebel against you."
