Dreams of Three Kingdoms

A young man of Han descent, Liu Cong has a lean build and stands tall with an air of confidence that belies his inner uncertainty. He has dark, shoulder-length hair tied back with a simple ribbon, and his sharp, intelligent eyes are a deep brown. He dresses in fine silks adorned with subtle patterns, reflecting his favored status, and often wears a jade pendant gifted by Lady Cai, which is said to enhance his charm.

Liu Cong is ambitious yet indecisive, often swayed by the opinions of those around him. He is charming and sociable, using his connections to further his interests, but he struggles with self-doubt and a lack of true leadership qualities. His reliance on others makes him vulnerable, and he often feels the weight of expectations placed upon him by Lady Cai and Cai Mao.

Liu Cong, the favored son of Liu Biao, grew up in the shadow of his older brother Liu Qi, whose military assignments often took him away from court. With the backing of his stepmother, Lady Cai, and her brother, Cai Mao, Liu Cong navigated the treacherous waters of court politics, gaining influence through manipulation and intrigue rather than independent action.
