Background / History

Fang Lanyue enters Lu Siye’s apartment after being instructed by a Big Head Doll to harm someone in exchange for lifelong protection. Unable to bring herself to kill, she leaves Lu Siye a warning note instead. When confronted, she confirms that she does not know the Net and identifies her sender only as a large-headed doll. 34

Lu Siye determines that she bears no resentment and likely has not killed anyone. He initially frightens her into cooperating, then reports her to the Town Demon Suppression Division so that she will not be executed as an unregistered intruding ghost. 34 35

Yuan Mou of the Yuan Family appraises her using a strand of hair. The divination confirms that her Shuang Ling and You Jing souls are intact and that she bears no human lives, qualifying her under the Division’s standards. She is subsequently issued cultivation resources and a Spirit Nether Jade Disc. 36

Appearance

Fang Lanyue manifests as a pale-faced young female ghost in casual modern clothing. 34

• Wears a Pikachu-design T-shirt and jeans. 34
• Has large eyes. 35
• Can turn into a wisp of green smoke to enter the Spirit Nether Jade Disc. 36
• Her Yin energy is grayish-white rather than resentment-darkened. 34

Personality

Fang Lanyue is extraordinarily timid, even by ghostly standards. A cockroach sends her into a screaming panic, and she routinely hides in closets, under blankets, or within the Spirit Nether Jade Disc when frightened. 34 35 49

Her greatest concern is safety. She accepts Lu Siye’s arrangement with the Town Demon Suppression Division because he promises to protect her, though she can briefly become indignant or defensive when insulted or pressured. 35

Despite her fearfulness, she is not malicious. She warns Lu Siye rather than carrying out the harm she was sent to inflict, and she later leaves his Blood Replenishment Pills for him without opening them. 34 47

Abilities & Skills

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Spirit Nether Jade Disc — Condenses Yin energy and serves as her portable dwelling place. Yuan Mou establishes a connection between Fang Lanyue and the disc. 36

Relationships

• Yuan Mou — Town Demon Suppression Division guest who appraises her past deeds and provides her cultivation resources. 36
• Big Head Doll — The entity that sent her to Lu Siye’s residence with an offer of protection in return for harming someone. 34

Story Role / Major Arcs

Arrival at Lu Siye’s Apartment

Fang Lanyue is discovered hiding in Lu Siye’s wardrobe. Her panic over a cockroach reveals both her presence and her unusually cowardly disposition. Lu Siye subsequently learns that she had written the warning note he found. 34

Town Demon Suppression Division Appraisal

After agreeing to register her identity, Fang Lanyue is examined by Yuan Mou and cleared as a ghost with no human lives. The Division gives her a jade dwelling, cultivation manual, pills, and a phone. 35 36

Cultivation Under Lu Siye’s Protection

She begins using the Spirit Nether Jade Disc and Yin Spirit Manual to cultivate. Time inside the jade disc increases her Yin energy, though Lu Siye repeatedly exploits her fear of being trapped in darkness. 37 38

Mirror Ghost Incident

The Mirror Ghost uses her likeness to enter Lu Siye’s bathroom, but Lu Siye exposes and captures it. Fang Lanyue, listening from the bedroom, is frightened by the struggle and continues supplying Lu Siye with Fear Points. 48 49

Trivia

• Fang Lanyue is terrified of cockroaches. 34
• Lu Siye compares her Fear Point output to a “richer oil field” than the Mirror Ghost. 35
• The strengthened Blazing Blood Blade vibrates in her presence and ceases reacting beyond roughly 100 meters, revealing its ghost-detection function. 48
