Mo Lian

Appearance
The period between 13 and 14 years old just happened to be the time of fine clothes and magnificent horses.

The youth’s outfit consisted of a thin, sleeveless spring jacket, wide open and untied at the waist, on top of a white robe. His black hair fell down his back like a waterfall, gracefully dancing and fluttering with his clothes in the breeze.

The sleeves of his robes were lightly rolled up to his elbows, revealing the bronze-colored skin obtained from time spent under the brazen sun.

When Qiao Mu looked over, she only saw how the hair on his forehead was slightly messy from the gentle breeze and how his phoenix eyes, which were as bright yet bottomless as pitch-black gems, shimmered with a bedazzling light that was as unfathomable as the abyss with every glance.

Personality
All the people familiar with Crown Prince Lian’s character knew that the crown prince might look as tranquil and serene as an immortal and as cleansing as the spring wind, but all of this elegance and exquisiteness was merely on the surface. In truth, His Highness the Crown Prince was remarkably calculating, full of schemes, and used to getting his way.

History
He coincidentally witnessed the attempted assassination of Wu Yanzhen by Qiao Mu, which turned out to be a failure.

However, he was fascinated by Qiao Mu and found happiness in observing his actions and facial expressions (which ones?).

On that day, among a random mountain with trees shooting up into the sky and forest green moss sprawling across the earth as it was illuminated by the rays of the sun, that person, like the elapsing of time, slowly entered his eyes, his heart, and even his bone marrow, and that person burrowed herself immensely deep.

Years later, when Mo Lian reminisced about this, he could not help but sigh. This was the fated bewitchment—the inescapable plummet into the arms of predestination.

Even if he could choose once more, the outcome would likely not alter.

Trivia

 * He has the strange power to understand everything Qiao Mu want to express, even though she doesn't say a single word.
 * What Crown Prince Lian disliked the most was repeating a sentence several times.
