Background / History

During Huo Yuhao's time at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Orange was a senior student who regularly looked after him while he worked through the night. She brought him food and ointment, helped organize his blueprints, and understood his habits as a soul engineer. Neither openly addressed the affection underlying that care at the time. 30 48

By the tournament period, Orange had become the Sun Moon Empire's Crown Princess. Her position gives her political and military authority, but she describes herself as a replaceable chess piece expected to perform ruthless tasks for the imperial family. 46 47

Orange secretly sends Huo Yuhao intelligence on the Sun Moon Empire's simulated auspicious-beast cores, the Beast Command project, and the movements of the Soul Tool Tower. Her reports repeatedly save him from traps, but they also guide him toward events she wants him to investigate. 30 37 40

She later meets Huo Yuhao openly outside Star Dou with an imperial order. Offering entry to Sun Moon Camp, she admits that she seeks the soul engineering fragments for Sun Moon while also intending to keep him alive. 46

Inside the camp, Orange reveals that she delayed destroying the Sampling Core because she needed evidence against those behind the operation and needed leverage to preserve her own position. She also admits to using Huo Yuhao, though she insists her desire for his survival is genuine. 47 48

The imperial family's Kinship Inheritance Contingency Plan exposes Orange as part of a scheme involving Huo Yuhao's bloodline sample. She admits that a child with him could secure her political survival, but Huo Yuhao seals the plan as evidence rather than allowing it to become a bargain. 49 50

Appearance

Orange presents herself with controlled elegance that contrasts sharply with the military authority surrounding her.

• Wears a silver-gray formal gown beneath a dark military coat embroidered with small sun patterns when acting as Crown Princess. 46
• Keeps her hair tied back neatly in formal settings; when visiting Huo Yuhao privately, her black hair falls over her shoulders after she removes her hairpin. 46 48
• Her gentle features and soft manner conceal a dangerous, calculating presence. 46
• Uses poise and beauty deliberately as part of her political composure. 47

Personality

Orange is gentle, perceptive, and disarmingly frank about her own compromises. She understands Huo Yuhao well enough to provide incomplete diagrams and coded clues that let him reach the answer himself, rather than simply handing him solutions. 30 37

Her kindness is inseparable from calculation. She openly acknowledges using Huo Yuhao, withholding information until she judges it advantageous, and treating intelligence as leverage against both the Sun Moon Imperial Family and the Holy Spirit Cult. 47 48 50

Despite this pragmatism, Orange is not indifferent to the people endangered by the schemes around her. She risks her authority by passing on secret keys and later takes command of the Soul Engineering Tower's second floor to expose its living Return Flow experiments. 48 50

Her deepest conflict is between ambition, survival, and personal longing. She wants a home and power, recognizes the ugliness of considering Huo Yuhao's bloodline as a path to security, and does not excuse herself when confronted with that desire. 48 49 50

Abilities & Skills

Soul Engineering Knowledge

Orange possesses substantial knowledge of Sun Moon soul tools, military coding, and soul engineering structures.

• Concealed a recording and structural diagram inside a miniature soul engineering core sent to Huo Yuhao. 30
• Uses old Sun Moon soul engineer codes, including a three-tap warning that the main entrance cannot be trusted. 38
• Understands the Soul Engineering Tower's sampling systems, including its first-floor records, second-floor simulations, and shift schedules. 47 48 50
• Provides Huo Yuhao with a second-floor entry key and intelligence concerning hidden military transport routes. 48

Intelligence Operations

Orange operates as an informant whose messages carry both warnings and strategic pressure.

• Warned Huo Yuhao that false golden-aura cores were being developed to interfere with spiritual-type soul masters. 30
• Identified the transfer of a fake auspicious-beast core to the Empire Soul Tool Tower during a military shift change. 37
• Marked the Sun Moon Camp's location through hidden code in her letters, allowing Huo Yuhao to trace the altar's external lock. 40
• Uses selectively disclosed intelligence to lead Huo Yuhao toward the Beast Command and Return Flow conspiracy. 37 48

Political and Military Authority

As Crown Princess, Orange can exercise command within Sun Moon Camp, though her authority has limits against imperial interests.

• Arranges for Huo Yuhao to enter the camp as an “Empire temporary cooperation partner.” 46
• Commands respect from the camp's soul engineers and is recognized as the future Empress. 47
• Declares herself the camp's highest temporary commander when the Crown Prince's envoy attempts to claim the activated Return Flow sample. 49
• Deploys three miniature Soul Tool command tokens to seize temporary control of the Soul Engineering Tower's second floor. 50
• Cannot safely admit Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er to the camp, as their simultaneous presence would activate the Live Sampling Array. 46 49

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Miniature soul engineering core — Delivered a recorded warning and a structural diagram of simulated auspicious-beast aura technology. 30
• Carrier pigeon / soul-tool paper messages — Used to send concealed intelligence to Huo Yuhao during the tournament. 37
• Soul-tool case and imperial secret order — Presented evidence that the imperial family sought Huo Yuhao's spiritual algorithms and the Return Flow Core Fragment. 46
• Sampling Core — A core capable of recording the Return Flow reaction generated by Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, and Wang Qiu'er together. 47
• Second-floor entry key — Given to Huo Yuhao for access to the Soul Engineering Tower's Holy Spirit Cult advisory room. 48
• Military command tokens — Used to assert temporary control over the Soul Engineering Tower. 50

Relationships

• Huo Yuhao — Former junior and unresolved emotional attachment. She cared for him at Sun Moon Academy, later aids and manipulates him in equal measure, and admits she wants both his trust and a path to political security. 30 46 48 49
• Wang Dong'er — Rivalrous and mutually distrustful. Dong'er resents Orange's familiarity with Huo Yuhao and views her intelligence work as especially dangerous because it makes Orange indispensable. 30 38 46
• Wang Qiu'er — Wary adversaries. Qiu'er responds aggressively to the possibility that Orange intends to capture or use Huo Yuhao. 46 49
• Ye Guyi — Suspicious counterpart. Ye Guyi condemns Orange's complicity in Return Flow experimentation but temporarily spares her after Orange helps open the Soul Engineering Tower. 47 50
• Sun Moon Imperial Family — Political patron and source of coercion. The family treats Orange as a useful crown princess who can be replaced and includes her in its Kinship Inheritance Contingency Plan. 47 49
• Holy Spirit Cult — Unstable covert associate. Orange investigates its involvement in contaminated Return Flow experiments while having previously allowed its evidence to remain for leverage. 47 50

Story Role / Major Arcs

Tournament Intelligence

Orange's hidden communications reveal the Sun Moon Empire's use of false auspicious-beast aura cores. Her diagram enables Huo Yuhao to identify their reverse-sensing apertures, dismantle the cores, and trace the enemy's control center during the finals. 30 31

Soul Tool Tower Investigation

Her later messages expose the transfer of the fake auspicious-beast core and direct Huo Yuhao toward the Soul Tool Tower. A hidden marker in her letter ultimately helps him identify the Sun Moon Camp as the source locking the old altar's third level. 37 40

Sun Moon Camp Negotiation

Orange personally brings Huo Yuhao into Sun Moon Camp under an imperial military order. She reveals the Beast Command project's purpose: turning auspicious-beast Return Flow and Huo Yuhao's spiritual algorithms into military technology. 46 47

Kinship Inheritance Contingency

When an imperial envoy presents an exchange for Huo Yuhao's activated sample, Orange counters the demand and exposes the family's deeper plan involving her and Huo Yuhao's bloodline. She admits the plan tempted her as a means of securing her future. 49

Soul Engineering Tower Breach

Orange joins Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi in entering the tower's second floor, where the Holy Spirit Cult and Sun Moon engineers conduct living simulations using emotional fluctuations. She seals the Sun Moon power supply while the others dismantle the formation and free the captured souls. 50
