Personality:
Outwardly, XiaoLi acts very calm, friendly and compassionate, even a bit romantic; Overall sociable and easy to talk to.
He acts carefree and lazy, often lounging around the palace as if he has nothing better to do. Most blame his lousiness on his weak constitution.
Inwardly, XiaoLi is incredibly smart and a great strategist but feigns ignorance. He doesn't trust easily and is very quick to judge; First impressions are very crucial. In truth he simply uses, deceives or manipulates others to get what he wants or to aid in his ambitions. Sometimes tends to think highly of himself in comparison to others.

Despite this, he often feels lonesome as no one truly knows him, and most interactions feel dull.
Deep down he desires companionship, at least one person he can feel close to, but his overall goals keep him distanced; Afraid to get close to anyone.

XiaoLi isn't afraid to talk about his large ambitions, ideals and dreams for the future rule of his kingdom, but this often gets him in trouble as very few agree with him.

Story:
XiaoLi is the Prince of the Crystalline Kingdom, and isolated kingdom located high in the mountains.
This is one of three separate kingdoms that long ago were united as one.
Corruption plunged the single kingdom into chaos, eventually leading to it's downfall and the establishment of the Three Kingdoms.
Centuries have since passed and the kingdoms lived in constant rivalry, often complicating trade and many battles for land have been ensued.

The current Emperor of the Crystalline Kingdom is ailing, his life seemingly coming to an end and much pressure has been put on the shoulders of his firstborn son, XiaoLi. Many believe XiaoLi isn't fit to rule, not with his also failing health, lousy attitude and otherworldly ambitions.
The Prince wishes to improve relationships with the other kingdoms and one day reunite as a single kingdom once again as he believes the split hasn't improved the situation as now there's a constant threat of war between them and other lands.
Hoping that reuniting will make for a strong and powerful kingdom.

XiaoLi's goal is unwanted by many, and he's become the head of many hit lists as he shown no signs of backing down and keeping things as they are.
Due to this, he's under constant protection as rumors of assassination in order to make XiaoLi's younger brother the next heir to the throne have begun to spread. In truth, XiaoLi is safe from no one, even those he's under the protection of.
Despite this, he shows no fear and acts like there hasn't been any threats made at all.
What would be the point if he showed fear now?

Talk of XiaoLi's plans have made it to the other two kingdoms, and surprisingly, the Prince Liang of the Jade Kingdom-A kingdom rich in trade-has taken interest. He wants to meet XiaoLi and discuss this grand idea in secret.
Has XiaoLi finally found an ally? or will he finally be outsmarted?
