Background

Tang Lanshan is a second-generation Subconscious Actor whose parents were both high-star actors. Their expectations of her subconscious traits turned into repeated verbal abuse; they divorced when she was eight and each started a new family, leaving her feeling unwanted and inferior 71 139.

She developed an intense interest in divination from childhood, studying tortoise-shell divination and I Ching calculations. She later spent her savings from part-time work on an advanced divination course, determined to become useful rather than remain the weak link of her team 101.

Her first known work was Mysterious Assignment, where she portrayed Zhang Guangmu's fiancée. Though a newcomer, she joined the Endless Food Bucket Group afterward and declared her ambition to become an outstanding Subconscious Actor whose name would resound throughout the Xuanlong Empire 71 97.

Appearance

Tang Lanshan is described as a strikingly beautiful young woman with fair skin, a lively ponytail, and clear, spirited eyes. Her usual impression combines youthful vitality with an aggressive, forceful presence 70.

• Often carries square-holed copper coins for divination and combat 93 140.
• Her gentle appearance contrasts sharply with her fierce temperament and decisiveness 70 160.
• As the Church of Destiny's candidate saintess, she appears with purple hair, purple eyes, a white gauze dress, and a silver crown 209.
• During Pure Black Divination Fusion Augmentation Technique — Stage Three, her pupils turn completely black 487.

Personality

Tang Lanshan is straightforward, fierce, and unusually resilient. She initially approaches Zhang Guangmu in fury after he breaks off their engagement, even threatening him with a gun, but is willing to listen once he explains himself 70. Her bluntness is balanced by a practical mind: she considers political context, identifies risks, and uses divination to guide major decisions 160 571.

Her childhood left her deeply sensitive to being considered weak or inferior. Rather than surrender to that insecurity, she identifies courage as the quality she most wants to learn from Zhang Guangmu and repeatedly places herself in danger to protect him or support their shared cause 139 487.

Tang Lanshan values independence and refuses to be defined by her family. In The World Knows, she survives through begging and fortune-telling rather than accepting support from Marquis Tang's household, then physically severs her arm to symbolically repay the family and sever their ties 152 157.

Abilities & Skills

Divination

Tang Lanshan specializes in fortune-telling, hexagrams, and fate-reading. Her predictions are often accurate enough to guide travel, investments, personnel decisions, and strategic planning.

• Offers actionable interpretations rather than vague predictions, including advice on holding steady during crises 246.

Coin Techniques

• Struck Tang Kaixuan in the forehead with an alloy coin hard enough to cave in his skull 140.
• Keeps specialized copper coins concealed in her sleeves for rapid deployment 157 158.
• Her coin-based finishing attack is swift and lethal, but is portrayed as a focused specialty rather than a broadly versatile combat style 152 164.

Bloodline Sorcery and Demon Forging

After undergoing Bloodline General Replacement Surgery, Tang Lanshan becomes a Bloodline Sorcerer capable of casting magic without relying on a staff 170 487.

Story Role / Major Arcs

*Mysterious Assignment*

Tang Lanshan debuts as Zhang Guangmu's fiancée. Furious over his broken engagement, she confronts him with a gun, but his explanation of his illness and desire to protect her causes her to reconsider 70 71. She declares that they will face enemies and illness together, even if it means dying together 71.

During the survival scenario, she remains terrified yet stubbornly protects Zhang Guangmu in front of Zhao Zhengrong. She is later among the casualties of the film world's final assignment 82 83.

Joining the Endless Food Bucket Group

After her debut, Tang Lanshan joins Zhang Guangmu's team as its fortune-telling specialist. She seeks professional training in divination and explicitly commits to becoming stronger so that she can contribute reliably to the group 97 101.

*The World Knows*

Cast as the Marquis's Daughter, Tang Lanshan is paired with Tang Kaixuan as his sister. His contempt and cruelty reopen the wounds caused by her parents' treatment, but she refuses to remain the helpless “inferior product” they labeled her 138 139.

She publicly severs her own arm to repay the Tang family and reject its hold over her 157. After Zhang Guangmu captures Tang Kaixuan, she kills him herself, finally severing her emotional ties to the Marquis's household 166.

Church of Destiny and Magic Star

As a candidate saintess of the Church of Destiny, Tang Lanshan reunites with Zhang Guangmu in Niugan City after divining an omen of Supreme Auspiciousness. She gives him the Church's secret teachings, joins his team, and becomes a major figure on Magic Star 209 237.

Demon Hunting Academy

Zhang Guangmu entrusts her with the Seal Demon Staff, then later the Forbidden Magic Staff. During the Demon Hunting Magic Ring conflict, she confronts Bai Yongsheng with Stage Three augmentation and ultimately exhausts herself defending against the Demon Tide so Zhang Guangmu can pursue the greater threat 477 487 489.

Feihong Sect

Tang Lanshan joins the financially troubled Feihong Sect after Zhang Guangmu promises to protect her from underhanded tactics. Her investments, debt negotiations, and commercial planning rapidly reverse the sect's financial crisis 665 666.

She becomes Zhang Guangmu's manager during the Golden Autumn Sword Competition, arranging endorsement fees and pushing herself to capitalize on his growing fame 667.

Sea of Heaven

Known as the Darling of the Sea, Tang Lanshan is treated as a stake in Wang Yuqing's Culinary Battle. Remaining calm, she uses compass divination to seek the person who can bring order to the world 820.

After temporarily joining Shangqing Culinary Skills Co., Ltd., she locates top-tier ingredients and states her ambition to help a sufficiently talented person restore order to the Endless Sea 822.
