• Magnificent, richly detailed clothing 85 88
• A folding fan, which she uses while teasing Fu Xuan 85

Personality

Yaoguang is composed and playful, frequently provoking Fu Xuan with exaggerated affection and teasing Feixiao about her reliance on force. She can also use her rank to assert herself, as when she reminds Fu Xuan that the Lord Diviner has no authority to question a general 85 118 151.

• Fu Xuan — Her junior sister and a romantic rival. Yaoguang enjoys teasing her, while Fu Xuan tries to keep her away from Bai Luoming 85 90 105.
• Tingyun — A rival for Bai Luoming. Their confrontations give way to temporary cooperation, first to add him as a contact and later to search for him after his disappearance 111 115 174.
• Feixiao — A fellow general, ally and romantic rival. Yaoguang frequently questions her love of fighting but does not underestimate her 148 151.
