My new favorite passage describing a character is from ch 337 of 2Ha, describing Jiang Xi:
他的打扮永远让人觉得他在说：“我很有钱，欢迎来抢”，但是没有人抢得了他。
His style of dressing always led people to feel he was saying, “I am very rich. You are welcome to rob me,” but no was ever able to rob him.
他那张俊脸上好像也写着：“想睡我吗，我知道你想”，但没有人能睡得了他。
That handsome face of his also seemed to announce “You want to sleep with me. I know you want to,” but no one was ever able to sleep with him.
(Translations are mine. You can tell because they are very bad and don’t convey just how clever this passage is. Translating is hard!)
