Ooohh, I like this one alot. I'm putting my coin in your hat sir. He is a pretty sad somber boy. He's one of my favorites, such a cutie. (In personality always and when he has the help of Tianlang-Jun)
I was about to join the Zhuzhi Lang train but truth is, our boy never considered himself sad or gloomy, he just existed for a purpose and moved on towards the small goals his uncle set for him. Yue Qingyuan on the other hand quite openly pinned and suffered for his shared past and present with Shen Jiu until the very end, so he wins my vote too.
I'm not gonna remember to check back to vote on these each days, so here are my knee-jerk picks for the upcoming emotions for anyone perusing the comments' amusement:
Sadness: YQY
Anger: Luo Binghe (Especially Original Flavor)
Disgust: Shen Yuan/SQQ ("shitty author, shitty novel")
Fear: ...I guess SQH? Honestly also SQQ.
Anxiety: Shang Qinghua/Airplane
Envy: Shen Jiu
Embarrassment: Honestly also SY, but more in his SQQ era. Arguably Liu Mingyan since she DOES cover her face (and cause embarrassment with her RPF lmao)
Ennui: ...Mobei-Jun maybe?
love him but yue qingyuan
