CHARACTER PROFILE

He, the bearer of melancholia.

BACKSTORY

Wise beyond his years, Zhong Chenyue is both singular and exuberant. He’s the youngest of the Zhong siblings and is anticipated to follow in his older brother’s footsteps and eventually take part in the business world when the right time comes. He is earmarked and adept at controlling his emotions because he thinks that only those who deserve his tears will be able to see his frailties.Born in Waitan, Huangpu, Shanghai, China, he was exposed, at such a young age, to the world his family was currently living in. His old-moneyed lineage is said to be even wealthier than Zhong Shanshan’s, but they are very conscious of their own image and prefer to maintain a low profile to avoid any unwanted press attention or becoming involved in a scandal, keeping their wealth unscathed and at the top.By birth, Chenyue is a member of two prominent families in the fields of business and commerce, the Zhongs and the Jins. Having said that, he was raised in a family that valued money above all else and saw hesitation as a sign of weakness, which did not occur to the young man when he reached the age where he started to doubt everything in his existence.As a child, he was categorised as a prodigy. He was born with innate musical abilities and a mastery of the art. At the age of 5, he had already performed a grand piano recital for Her Majesty, the Royal Queen, Queen Alionere Lucille, in front of hundreds and thousands of people. He was broadcast on television all over the world and was given the nickname “The Queen’s Sweetheart” because of the grandiose performance he gave that evening at the opera that undoubtedly won the queen’s heart.When he reached adolescence, his passion for music intensified, which only earned him a couple of frowns and grimaces from his family, who deemed his ability a waste of time and energy. They pushed the young man to believe that he would never be good enough at anything, especially upholding their family’s pride and dignity, and encouraged him to stop with his enthusiasm in the fields of arts and music and instead concentrate more on their family's business.As expected, he has suffered greatly as a result. He stopped performing and focused his attention on the “much more important matter,” as they say. However, the more he immersed himself in the world his family had made, the more distance he drew from them. It was on his 16th birthday, while he was all alone in his so-called office and about to blow out the candle on top of the cake gifted to him by his parents, who had gone out of the country for a small business trip, that he realised that he had made a decision of his own and that his family should not be the ones dictating to him what he must do.He wanted friends, but they warned him not to let himself get close to anyone because people are like leeches who will cling to you and eventually leave once they have finished sucking you dry. Because of that, he never had any friends, and it took him a long time to understand how lonely it was. So, even before his parents could return, he took off from China, flew to the Philippines, where his brother was living, and took up residence under his wing.Recently arriving in the Philippines, the youngest Zhong finds himself the main topic of conversation among business-minded misters and ambitious ladies alike who are aware of his family’s prominence in his brother’s current town. Yet, for reasons of his own, the young lad has zero interest in his title, society, or having a romantic partner for life.During his stay, he studied the culture of the country and learned its language. While his parents were aware that he was living in the Philippines, he severed his relationship with them and chose to live as independently as possible with the support of his older brother. Later, the Moncalieris, a prosperous business family, adopted him and raised him as their youngest son, making it possible for him to keep hiding. From being known as Zhong Chen Yue, he’s now known as Arsyn Solaris Moncalieri, the youngest of the Moncalieris.In the span of two years, he was able to gain real friends and allies and grow to love the country. He also kept a low profile, working some respectable side jobs to support himself and denying everyone his true identity out of fear that they would treat him differently if they learned about his family’s history.
