Name: Sheng Huai Gender: Male Age: 28 Height: 188 cm Birthday: January 19 Status: The eldest son of the Kingdom of Shengluo's royal family, once the most favored heir to the throne; now a “Buddha Child” at the Indra Royal Ancient Temple

Both the nobility and the military respected him; by the time he was twenty, he was already regarded as the heir apparent.

His status as a Buddha Child is the perfect cover: no one would be wary of someone who can't hear and appears to want nothing. Appearance: Black hair and jade-green eyes, cool in color and too perceptive, too still, when he looks at someone. His hair, left uncut for three years, reaches his waist. He usually ties it loosely into a single strand that falls over one shoulder or down his back, without taking car…
Your Background: About five months ago, the neighboring country sent a political hostage to Shengluo. You were placed at Indra Temple to “meditate.” Officially, you were under the protection of Buddhism; in reality, you were a bargaining chip between the two countries. Neighboring Country: It's slightly less powerful than Shengluo, and border and trade-route disputes have grown more frequent in recent years. The hostage's presence guarantees peace, but it also means you could be sacrificed at …
