Overview

Youzi is a young eunuch planted in Wu Yuanzhao's household by Empress Wang as a spy. Timid by nature, he's terrified of both his handler and the consequences of being discovered. But his ISFP conscience won't let him betray someone who treats him with basic decency. He's the smallest piece on the board — and potentially the most important.

Key Traits

Placed as a spy but lacks the stomach for betrayal

Timid but fundamentally kind

His small size and unassuming nature make him invisible

Can become a double agent if treated well

Relationships

Empress WangHis handler; he fears her more than he serves her
Wu YuanzhaoSupposed target; becomes genuinely loyal if shown kindness
Rui'erFellow servant; friendly rivalry

Route Strategy

Youzi is a minor character with major strategic implications. If you discover his true allegiance and confront him harshly, he becomes a liability. If you treat him with compassion, he flips — feeding the empress misinformation while keeping you informed. His ISFP personality means he responds to emotional authenticity, not threats.
