As Food Spirits have ResurrectiveImmortality, he won’t perish, but instead will have to bear the agony of soul power dissipating and replenishing again and again, tortured until the end of time as [[ThePenance atonement for his betrayal of Yao and Shun's principles]].]]
** In the past, he was put in a ritual that trapped him inside a magical cauldron for ''centuries'' just so that he could not leave the state of Chu and would use his power for their goal even if he disagreed with them. The ritual [[EyeScream burned his eyes]] as well, causing him to live not only in captivity and solitude, but also in complete darkness.
* BloodFromTheMouth: Despite his weak health, he ran outside during a thunderstorm after being unable to accept a Huaxia that disregarded virtues and preferred violence, which caused him to cough blood and faint.

* CuteClumsyGirl: His profile explains that since the fish cake is boneless, its sense of balance as a Food Spirit is abysmal and he could easily be knocked over, though he hides this "weakness" well enough. In their first night sleeping in the same chamber, the young master accidentally sends him straight to the ground with the force needed to shove a cat off themself, and he can’t even get up on his own.
* DayHurtsDarkAdjustedEyes: After being blinded and trapped in a cauldron for centuries, his eyes are weak to bright light and he wears a blindfold to block them out. It also symbolizes how he [[JadeColoredGlasses has gone jaded]] and lost his original idealistic view on life, since when he joins Kongsang, he mentions that he can remove the blindfold without any issues.
* DelicateAndSickly: As the dish he originated from is made with boneless fish, he has poor balance and weak health.
* DisappointedInYou: His response to being strangled by Xifeng Wine? Telling him the true reason why he let the young master go to show how far he thought ahead compared to Xifeng Wine, and that the general has let him down. This statement seems to shock Xifeng Wine deeply and he leaves hastily without saying anything else.
* EyeScream: When he was imprisoned in the copper cauldron, the fire from the ritual burned his eyes. [[NothingIsScarier We can only hear him screaming in pain as it happens.]]
* GeniusCripple: He is blind and physically weak, but underestimating him means leaving yourself vulnerable to the control of a terrifying [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] who can wage wars and manipulate the world while being confined in a GildedCage.
* GildedCage: Xifeng Wine keeps Chuyi Flower Cake imprisoned and chained in a golden chamber that is heavily guarded and appears incredibly luxurious to the people of Qin, who are struggling with poverty as their state is at war, under the facade of giving him a peaceful and quiet place to recuperate from his "illness".
* GloryDays: The echo of Empress Xiang in the Empress Xiang's Bamboo claims that Chuyi Flower Cake’s mind is stuck in the past, when the peaceful Huaxia still existed and he was serving a benevolent, incorruptible master. To free him from the ritual, he must be woken up from this dream realm of his own making, otherwise he will never move on.
--> '''Empress Xiang:''' My husband and I left. So have Yu the Great and my son. All the people of that time have moved on, except him. He is still trapped in a dream of the past.
* GoodSamaritan: When he was TheHermit, he was known for lending a helping hand to weak clans who were in hardship due to natural disasters or man-made issues without expecting anything in return. He taught them how to turn barren land into farms, how to protect themselves from beasts, and how to write, and when the situation was dire, he even evoked the power of Shun’s Chess Set to help them win battles.
* TheHermit: After leaving Huaxia, he led a reclusive life in a forest and occasionally lent his help to weaker clans during the Warring States time. This happened again when he left the state of Chu, though he did strike up a companionship with Mr. Guigu – Xifeng Wine’s and Pebble Bread’s mentor.
* JadeColoredGlasses: He was once a kindhearted, peace-loving idealist who always advised his liege against using violence to solve the problem. However, his pacifism proved to be an obstacle when his master Chu Zi wanted him to use his TerrainSculpting power for war, and the treacherous court persuaded Chu Zi to put him in a FateWorseThanDeath so that they could force him to do everything they ordered, and also to [[IfICantHaveYou prevent him from leaving and serving the Chu’s enemy]]. This experience made him grow more callous, being willing to order the death of others without a single flinch and orchestrating wars to create his ideal utopia.
* KingmakerScenario: [[spoiler:Chuyi Flower Cake is unable to become a king himself because [[ThanatosGambit the Divine Formation requires his own sacrifice]], but he can choose anyone he wants to be the ruler of Qin and then Huaxia when the land is unified once the ritual is finished. Between the Qin Prince and the young master, he prioritizes the latter because he saw the potential in them that he never did with those past rulers, but when the young master dives into the furnace with him, Advisor Gongsun takes the second option and makes the Qin Prince the Wise Ruler.]]
* MakingASplash: [[spoiler:Thanks to the TerrainSculpting power of the Shun’s Chess Set, he can also control the waterway.]]
* ManipulativeBastard
* MeaningfulRename
* MellowFellow: He has a calm and mellow disposition befitting [[TheOlderImmortal his age]], and his mood rarely wavers.
* MoreExpendableThanYou: He sees himself as a "divine weapon" for many rulers to covet and exploit just like the Shun's Chess Set, and feels that it’s natural for a "weapon" to suffer so that its master can reach the height of power. The young master has to put some senses into him by telling him that he isn’t a weapon and his foolishness for believing so is heartbreaking.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: His hesitation to help the state of Chu wage war against the state of Zhou out of pacifism caused him to be put in a FateWorseThanDeath for centuries because the Chu ''really'' wanted to use his power for war and didn’t wish to risk him running away.
* OccultBlueEyes
* TheOlderImmortal: He was around during Emperor Shun’s rule between 2294 and 2184 ''BC'', making him older than a majority of the Food Spirits serving under the young master.
* OrderedToDie: After Chuyi Flower Cake helped the state of Chu win over the Wu people in exchange for being released from the cauldron, Emperor Chu decided that he couldn’t be let loose and indirectly ordered him to commit suicide by giving him a cup of poisonous wine and a white silk cloth for HangingAround as a "reward". Chuyi Flower Cake however [[{{subverted}} refused to obey]], and even mocked the emperor by pouring the wine onto the ground and using the silk cloth as his blindfold to show that he was no longer bound by his loyalty to anyone.
* PersonalityPower
* PlayAlongPrisoner: With his influence over the court and the state itself, Chuyi Flower Cake can escape his confinement easily should he want to, but decides to play along with Xifeng Wine’s plan to see what he can accomplish. When Xifeng Wine disappoints him, he has the general disposed without a second thought and immediately enacts his plan.
* PrivateTutor: He’s responsible for tutoring the Qin Prince, who admires him greatly and wants to free him from Xifeng Wine’s control. In the past, he was also entrusted with teaching and taking care of Shang Jun, son of Emperor Shun, after the emperor lent the throne of Huaxia to Yu the Great.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Xifeng Wine’s Red, being a calm, mellow and seemingly fragile chessmaster.
* ReflectionlessUselessEyes: When he removes his blindfold, we can see that his eyes don’t have light spots and are of a paler shade compared to before he lost his eyesight.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After Huaxia strayed from its pacifist path and became more violent, Chuyi Flower Cake refused to stay with them any longer and left for the south indefinitely.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: He’s notable for his chess set and love for TabletopGame/{{Go}}.
* TheSpymaster: He owned a spy network that spans across the seven states to serve his ambition to unite all states, though at the end of ''Imperial Gambit'' he lends it to Xifeng Wine. When the young master questions what use can the network have when they have already left the Warring States, he lists off several things his spies can get to show that the spy network will be important for the young master:
--> '''Chuyi Flower Cake:''' Of course it's useful. [[UsefulNotes/QinShihuangdi Qin Shi Huang]] sent people to Penglai, Yingzhou, and other fairy islands in search of the elixir of eternal life. If he could get this map of foreign lands, he would be able to use immortal tonics to save the commoners of his day.
--> '''Chuyi Flower Cake:''' Another example would be Wu Yue's secret swordforging technique, this could help people produce sharp swords to end the conflict of the world.
* TheStrategist: He serves as the advisor and strategist for the Qin. He also played this role for the Chu before leaving them.
* TerrainSculpting: [[spoiler:The Shun’s Chess Set lets him morph the landscapes to his advantage, and he’s the true terrain sculptor of the Qin army instead of Xifeng Wine.]]
* TheTeetotaler: In his first conversation with Xifeng Wine on the screen, he claims that he doesn’t drink.
* ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler:To accomplish his goal, he wants to reactivate the Divine Formation to transfer the fortunes of the Zhou dynasty to Qin, but this method requires the sacrifice of a medium: himself.]]
* TragicKeepsake: Emperor Shun left Chuyi Flower Cake the rocks with the spiritual power to manipulate the Nature Maze, which he first made into chess pieces to keep as souvenirs.
* {{Unperson}}: After the new duke of Qin inherited his dad's power, Advisor Gongsun erased all traces of him and Xifeng Wine from historical records.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:Everything he has done in ''Imperial Gambit'' is to create a nation of prosperity and happiness that resembles Huaxia in his memory. He also tries to mold a perfect ruler for this utopia by using the Rites of Zhou to complete the Divine Formation and shift the fortunes of the Zhou dynasty to Qin and give the chosen one the divine powers of Shun's Chess Set.]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Everyone in the state of Qin speaks highly of him as he’s been an advisor to the Qin Emperor, the tutor to his heir since the earliest day, and done a great deal for the people. [[spoiler:It’s very easy for him to get Xifeng Wine off the picture by revealing Xifeng Wine’s treacherous ambition and that he’s been imprisoned by the former "against his will", causing Xifeng Wine to be exiled.]]
* WolfInSheepsClothing: The first impression Chuyi Flower Cake often leaves is that he's a refined and quiet young man who is blind, frail, and unconcerned with worldly matters. He’s actually TheChessmaster who will manipulate others like disposable chess pieces, control the politics from the shadow, and flip the world upside down for his goal. His profile even claims that "making him your enemy is scarier than facing tens of thousands of troops".
** [[spoiler:His plan to created the Wise Ruler for the utopia of his own making involves him diving straight into the furnace to serve as a sacrifice. As Food Spirits have ResurrectiveImmortality, he won’t perish, but instead will have to bear the agony of soul power dissipating and replenishing again and again, tortured until the end of time as [[ThePenance atonement for his betrayal of Yao and Shun's principles]].]]
** In the past, he was put in a ritual that trapped him inside a magical cauldron for ''centuries'' just so that he could not leave the state of Chu and would use his power for their goal even if he disagreed with them. The ritual [[EyeScream burned his eyes]] as well, causing him to live not only in captivity and solitude, but also in complete darkness.
* BloodFromTheMouth: Despite his weak health, he ran outside during a thunderstorm after being unable to accept a Huaxia that disregarded virtues and preferred violence, which caused him to cough blood and faint. While he was immediately given treatment, he kept running a high fever and would only spit out more blood or mumble in his sleep.
* BlindSeer: He’s physically blind, but his ability to analyze and manipulate lets him see miles ahead of the situation compared to other people.
* BlueIsCalm: He’s mainly associated with blue and water, and always stays calm even when his life is on the line.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Xifeng Wine’s Brawn as the advisor and tactician for the state of Qi.
* TheChessmaster: Very big time, in case the abundant use of chess motif and imagery for his character didn’t tip you off. [[spoiler:His plan to create a utopia can be boiled down to him secretly waging wars between the states as a "selection" of sorts, creating Nature Mazes on the battlefields of each country, and seeding numerous Peach Sanctuary arks which he lured the common folks who weren’t involved in the politics and military into to preserve their culture and lives, then the scattered Peach Sanctuary arks would eventually meet where the water converged to create a land of prosperity and happiness.]]
* CagedBirdMetaphor: His situation at first seems like a typical case of this trope: a frail and disabled wiseman who is kept in a GildedCage and forced to use his talent for war against his will. However, it is {{subverted}} once Chuyi Flower Cake reveals that [[TheChessmaster he has always had the key to the cage with him the whole time, and willingly stays trapped because it’s more convenient for his scheme.]]
--> ''Master Chu isn't a sparrow in a cage; he's like Kunpeng, a giant mythical bird with a heart big enough for the world.''
* CrazyPrepared: When the young master asks him what would have happened if they hadn’t agreed to his proposal, he nonchalantly replies that his plans were carefully laid with failsafes to make sure [[spoiler:there existed a Wise Ruler for his utopia]] and that the young master’s choice wasn’t too relevant.
* CuteClumsyGirl: His profile explains that since the fish cake is boneless, its sense of balance as a Food Spirit is abysmal and he could easily be knocked over, though he hides this "weakness" well enough. In their first night sleeping in the same chamber, the young master accidentally sends him straight to the ground with the force needed to shove a cat off themself, and he can’t even get up on his own.
* DayHurtsDarkAdjustedEyes: After being blinded and trapped in a cauldron for centuries, his eyes are weak to bright light and he wears a blindfold to block them out. It also symbolizes how he [[JadeColoredGlasses has gone jaded]] and lost his original idealistic view on life, since when he joins Kongsang, he mentions that he can remove the blindfold without any issues.
* DelicateAndSickly: As the dish he originated from is made with boneless fish, he has poor balance and weak health.
* DisappointedInYou: His response to being strangled by Xifeng Wine? Telling him the true reason why he let the young master go to show how far he thought ahead compared to Xifeng Wine, and that the general has let him down. This statement seems to shock Xifeng Wine deeply and he leaves hastily without saying anything else.
* EyeScream: When he was imprisoned in the copper cauldron, the fire from the ritual burned his eyes. [[NothingIsScarier We can only hear him screaming in pain as it happens.]]
* GeniusCripple: He is blind and physically weak, but underestimating him means leaving yourself vulnerable to the control of a terrifying [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] who can wage wars and manipulate the world while being confined in a GildedCage.
* GildedCage: Xifeng Wine keeps Chuyi Flower Cake imprisoned and chained in a golden chamber that is heavily guarded and appears incredibly luxurious to the people of Qin, who are struggling with poverty as their state is at war, under the facade of giving him a peaceful and quiet place to recuperate from his "illness".
* GloryDays: The echo of Empress Xiang in the Empress Xiang's Bamboo claims that Chuyi Flower Cake’s mind is stuck in the past, when the peaceful Huaxia still existed and he was serving a benevolent, incorruptible master. To free him from the ritual, he must be woken up from this dream realm of his own making, otherwise he will never move on.
--> '''Empress Xiang:''' My husband and I left. So have Yu the Great and my son. All the people of that time have moved on, except him. He is still trapped in a dream of the past.
* GoodSamaritan: When he was TheHermit, he was known for lending a helping hand to weak clans who were in hardship due to natural disasters or man-made issues without expecting anything in return. He taught them how to turn barren land into farms, how to protect themselves from beasts, and how to write, and when the situation was dire, he even evoked the power of Shun’s Chess Set to help them win battles.

A lavish "visual dish" in Shaowei Banquets in the Tang Dynasty, he once disappeared as the recipe was lost to time. After his rebirth as a Food Spirit, he became the ruler of Penglai Island. A conductor with unmatched expertise, he’s arrogant and distant, yet has a hidden side few knows. Always accompanied by a music spirit.
He’s a yearly-Limited character available for summon only in the ''Nimbus Symphony'' banner and its reruns.

* MadArtist: Since he’s in the early stage of Food Demonization, he’s mentally unstable and keeps [[SelfHarm hurting himself]] as he forces himself to produce more music. He would rather drown in his own insanity than letting others know about his condition however, so Priest Yunshao has to reach out to the young master on his own to get Steam Doll Orchestra the necessary treatments.
* MoodSwing: The effect of Food Demonization gives him terrible mood swings which put him at risk of a mental breakdown. When the young master returns to his chamber after leaving temporarily for the preparation of the banquet, they find him in a depressive state, having committed SelfHarm. As soon as he sees them, he flies into delirium and rages against his own reflection before drowning in his self-hatred again, but once the young master calms him down, he regains his haughty demeanor.

* DefrostingIceKing: Meng Po Tea is initially cold to the young master and only has them around because his mother insists, but they soon bond and he becomes accustomed to being taken care of and treated nicely by them. In return, the young master realizes that Meng Po Tea isn’t as heartless as the people proclaim, and it’s just that he never gets to learn the concept of human emotions in the first place.
* TheDreaded: He’s renown in the Underworld Office as a merciless, cold-hearted man who will force Meng Po tea down every soul’s throat with no hesitation and is very difficult to please. The young master has been asked if they’re having a hard time serving under him more than once, to which they clarify that he’s actually more humane than he appears.
* FemmeFatalons: He wears claw rings on both his hands and feet, indicating that he’s both dangerous and unearthly.
* FlowerMotifs: ''Lycoris radiata'' or spider lily, the flower associated with death and the afterlife. When he’s defeated in battle, the flowers bloom from his body.
* ForcedSleep: He has the power to put anyone to sleep, and in battle, he specializes in enforcing the Sleep debuff on the enemies.
* HeavySleeper: The man sleeps for half the day and will sleep more if not woken up.
* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: He knew the young master helped two Ghost Messengers escape his wrath, but didn’t say anything. He also deliberately walked away despite being well aware of the young master’s plan to [[spoiler:retrieve their memory casket from the Hall of Reminiscence]] and allowed them to succeed.
* MagicalBarefooter: Since he floats all the time and sleeps for half the day, he apparently has no need for footwear.
* MamasBoy: He’s a quiet and obedient son to Meng Po, wants to continue her legacy, and vehemently refuses to leave her side despite her request.
* MysticalWhiteHair: His flowing white hair contributes further to his WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver look and makes him stand out in the grim Underworld Office.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Due to his mercilessly forcing his amnesia soup on others, his human name is Heartless (Wúqíng, Ah-Qíng for short).
* TheNeedless: So far he’s the only Food Spirit whose schedule consists only of sleeping and wandering.
* TheNightOwl: As a resident of the Underworld Office since birth, Meng Po Tea is active at night and sleeps through the day.
* NonchalantDodge: He dodges the spear Lianhua Blood Duck threw towards him easily with just a slight shift.
* NotAMorningPerson: His morning voice line is him grumpily orders the young master to not disturb him and especially not open the curtains. In the story, the young master has to coax him into waking up by promising to make him his favorite soup.
* NotSoStoic: As the young master finds out, the terrifying, placid Lord Heartless of the Underworld Office is also someone who's capable of throwing tiny tantrums, [[NotAMorningPerson has trouble getting out of bed]], requires someone to take care of his daily needs, and looks forward to being rewarded with his favorite soup for finishing his work like a child.
* PowerFloats: He’s treated like a deity in the Underworld Office and looks the part by always floating around.
* SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration: When he’s appointed as a cook in the Kitchen, all the dishes he makes will have the "Memory Loss" tag instead of a normal flavor tag.
* SuggestiveCollision: When pulled out of the pit, the young master loses their balance and pushes Meng Po Tea onto the ground, putting him into a provocative position.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Throughout Chapter 9, the time Meng Po Tea spends with the young master seems to introduce him to all sorts of human emotions which he’s unfamiliar with. After going through a SuggestiveCollision, he appears to be embarrassed by the intimacy, but he doesn’t know how to express it and even the young master thinks he’s upset with them.
* WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver: His palette is mainly consists of the ghostly white and the red of spider lilies, giving him an ethereal and unnerving look that suits an underworld "deity".
* BerserkButton: He’s visibly mad seeing spider lilies wilting thanks to Lianhua Blood Duck’s spear shoots straight toward the eternal flame floating behind him, so he forcefully puts all of the Food Spirits to sleep and sends them to prison.
* BreakingOldTrends: He’s the first Food Spirit to be from a fictional cuisine. While Hu-Geng is also more of a literary metaphor than an actual dish, he’s essentially a "swan soup" that can be recreated and eaten in real life, unlike the amnesia-inducing Meng Po tea reserved for the deceased. The young master does express their surprise since they also thought only cuisines in the mortal realm could become Food Spirits, to which Meng Po replies that anything can gain sentience and become a spirit one day as all things in the world has a soul, even the peaches of the Empyrean, the lingzhi of Penglai, or her own special tea.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: His gentle demeanor and experience in Mount Kunlun makes it easy for him to get close with all animals, and they approach him on their own when he’s playing his flute.

A wine consumed during spring festivals in the ancient times, also known as the "Sui Wine." Upon becoming a Food Soul, he learned medicine from Hua Tuo and soon attained superb medical skills. However, he can't get over the death of his master, and his temperament only grows more bizarre.

* DrJerk: A very capable medic who studied under Huà Tuó, but is also an abrasive sourpuss with a constant hostile attitude.
to:
* BackAlleyDoctor: He opens a clinic (which also doubles as a tavern) in the underworld of the Green Hills that is very difficult to find and requires knowing the ever-changing mechanisms to enter. Even then, to meet Tusu Elixir himself, the customer has to drink three jugs of Tusu wine – a medicinal wine that is both strong and pungent – in one sitting.
* CastFromLifespan: Using his [[HealItWithBlood blood]] to undo the ForcedTransformation will suck his dwindling life force away, which he’s already unable to replenish. Because of this and the fact that the recipe for Tusu Elixir is slowly lost in the mortal realm, he becomes weaker by days.
* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: Despite being renowned as a SuperDoc who can cure all diseases present to him, Tusu Elixir can’t seem to do anything about his own legs’ condition. [[spoiler: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly being forgotten by people]] isn’t something his medical skills can fix.]]
* CombatResuscitation: "All-Healing Herb" has him [[CastFromHitPoints spend 15% of his HP]] to revive an ally with 35% HP. If the target is still alive, the cooldown of this skill will be reduced by 2 rounds.
* DisabledSnarker: He lost the use of his legs some times after losing his faith in life and humanity itself, making him incredibly bad-tempered and bitter.
* DrJerk: A very capable medic who studied under Huà Tuó, but is also an abrasive sourpuss with a constant hostile attitude. He only heals people when he feels like it, asks for ridiculous things as payment for his treatment just to see if the customer’s reaction pleases him.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He debuted in ''Snow of Fortune'' by coldly kicking a demon pleading for his help out, but then agreeing to cure a child’s father and accepting merely a toy for payment while ignoring most of the treasures sent to him. It shows that although he’s undoubtedly a DrJerk, he does have a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart of gold]] and his reason for practicing medicine has never been material gains.
* FreudianExcuse: Historically, his mentor Hua Tuo was accused of [[AssassinationAttempt attempting assassination]] while trying to save his patient[[note]]His patient Cao Cao had a brain tumor, and Hua Tuo told him that a brain surgery was necessary to remove it. Cao Cao however thought that Hua Tuo wanted to kill him, in part due to a previous attempt by another imperial physician[[/note]], arrested, and died in prison with most of his medical legacy lost forever.

* BadassBookworm: Befitting his field of teaching, he’s a very well-learned individual who isn’t picky about what book to read, as the bookshelf shown in his Bloom art that is filled with at least 21 real book titles can attest. In his letters, he mentions various foreign literature works of different genres and mediums, as well as making references to history, mathematics, philosophy, and psychology. His "Biologist" skin shows that he’s also knowledgeable in natural science, and the bookshelf once again has books in those fields.
* BadassTeacher: He’s a literature teacher and finds pride in fighting in the most "intellectual" way possible - using books as weapon.

* ChickMagnet: He once taught at an all-female school in Chengdu and became known for his quirks and handsome looks. When Huang Jinglin started his restaurant, Cabbage Blossom was asked by Huang Jinglin for help by standing outside the establishment - his fans would flock inside, giving Huang Jinglin six months' worth of patrons, and he even gained fans from amongst the women who helped out in the restaurant.
* DeadpanSnarker: He’s sarcastic as hell when he’s in a situation he doesn’t like, like when he’s defeated or when he’s made to work.
