Ryu Shim. Chang Lin

He was disliked by everyone becuz he was born out of wedlock. Yes! The Emperor had one wife only but he had made up his mind to have another. The Emperor didn't dislike his 1st wife, Jiuling. He adored her as well But the marriage with his 1st wife was forceful to expand his reign. It was 1 year after his marriage that Prince Chang Lin was born. After 2 years, he fell in love with a simple maiden, Minxing. He made up his mind to marry but not without the consent of his beloved 1st wife. Queen Consort Jiuling was a good person, infact she was very different from previous nagging and haughty Queen Consorts of the dynasty. She liked Minxing as the latter was her favourite companion and readily gave consent for she couldn't wait to have a sister. But fate had other plans, Minxing was pregnant before marriage and had many complications. She died while giving birth to Prince
Ryu Shim. Queen Consort Jiuling tried her best to be a good mother to the younger son who was devoid of the affection by his biological mother and isolated himself from public eye plus also from family members because of the illusion that everyone hated him. While it's true that most of relatives in royal family had negative sensations harbored with Crown Prince never considering the latter as his blood but The Queen Consort and the Emperor had immense love and care for Ryu Shim and there were simple reasons. For Queen Consort, he was the son of her beloved companion and for the Emperor, the latter was a reminisce of his lover. But In upcoming years, the isolation grew, Ryu Shim never smiled and was a cold person. He wore a half face mask during wars. He had bravery and immense strength which wove beautiful and inspiring stories but along with it, he had the power of the nature.

"氣/CH'I/ QI according to Chinese philosophy is a vital force of a living being. One who has strong chi has power to control the nature. Yet this QI is sometimes called magic by western world. According to it's philosophy, Ch'i/Qi grows stronger if someone's mind is pure and full of positive energy. Positive Ch'i can result in beautiful miracles. Elsewhere, someone with the opposite energy could bring destruction"

Ryu Shim had a strong 氣/Ch'i.
He felt the movement of air, fire, water and earth in every inch of his body just like Crown Prince Chang Lin but his "Ch'i/Qi" was not able to cultivate its full potential because of his isolated thoughts. Hence, sometimes, his strength had violent repercussions. He came to be known as "永遠吃不飽的貓"

English translation: The cat who is never full.

Reason: A cat who is not hungry toys with his prey till the end and when he has urge of hunger, he brutally kills it.

Although, Prince Ryu Shim was never cruel, he was given this name due to the "Battle of LuoPin" where he brutally killed his Enemies BUT there was a reason unknown to every soul except two.
