Background / History

Modern Life

A wealthy young CEO financed Lan Ruoyue’s medical education and career. She accepted his support while avoiding him; their relationship collapsed when the woman who had actually saved him in childhood appeared. Jiang Shuyue suspects that Lan knew about the mistaken identity but failed to clarify it, though this remains Jiang’s inference 85.

Huahua reports that Lan died after gorging on chicken liver and that her funeral became a media spectacle nicknamed “Chicken Liver Victory” 87. Five Flower later describes her cultivating multiple romantic prospects through a wealthy-heiress persona, undergoing plastic surgery, and terminating a pregnancy after judging the fetus unattractive on an ultrasound 347.

Transmigration

Lan’s system brought her into a novel world, assigned missions, and promised that she was its female lead. Her objectives included collecting Fortune Value, becoming the world’s Goddess, and ultimately ascending to immortality 97 337.

She initially treated the inhabitants as fictional “paper cutouts” and assumed that modern knowledge gave her an overwhelming advantage. Her system repeatedly warned that the people she dismissed could kill her 86 87 97.

Past-Life Side Story

In the cultivation-era side story, Lan stands beside Wan Chaoyang during the betrayal of the Immortal Cloud Sect. Although allied with him, she becomes infatuated with Zhou Yunshen and urges Wan to leave Jiang Shuyue alive only after removing her spiritual root, destroying her core origin, and cutting off her limbs 374.

Lan later manifests her natal gardenia to interfere with Zhou’s divine sense. He rejects her interference and annihilates her physical body with Dragon Breath 377.

Appearance

• General appearance: A cool, aloof beauty whose gentle smile and flowing clothes can create an impression of holiness 139.
• Signature clothing: White garments and a veil, deliberately chosen to make her resemble an ethereal immortal 161 164.
• Luxury accessories: Flowing Cloud Gauze and an artisan-designed gold buyao hair ornament, which she regards as evidence that she looks like a genuine Goddess 111.
• Eye conditions: Huahua identifies her as nearsighted and suffering from dry eye syndrome 97.
• Later court attire: A white outfit with an altered, low V-neck, provoking the Empress Dowager’s displeasure 328.

Personality

Lan is ambitious, status-conscious, and convinced of her own superiority. She judges potential allies by their apparent wealth, resents ancient-world nobles being richer than she is, and treats expensive clothing as essential to establishing authority 111 169 170. Her rhetoric about independence conflicts with her reliance on wealthy admirers, princely patrons, and system-provided advantages 85 116 347 348.

Her public gentleness conceals contempt and aggression. She invokes women’s solidarity or public welfare when seeking assistance, but privately belittles ordinary people and dismisses poor patients as unimportant 86 96 303. When challenged, she shifts between tears, threats, claims of supernatural authority, and accusations that others have stolen her destiny 97 307 333.

She struggles to restrain resentment and repeatedly blames her system or Jiang Shuyue for failure. Nevertheless, physical danger can quickly overcome her bravado: the Fourth Prince’s abuse forces her into submission and recalls the terror she experienced when her former benefactor turned against her 116 146 337.

Abilities & Skills

Fortune System

Lan’s system, called Xiangxiang in an earlier passage and later Five Flower, supplies missions, information, rewards, and access to purchasable items 138 303 330.

• Public trust, worship, and the goodwill of important characters contribute to her Fortune Points 97 161.
• It locates Liu Defa and identifies characters important to the expected plot 85 161 213.
• Point losses can trigger painful electrical punishment 146.
• It warns that the Fourth Prince’s death or rejection of her could end her transmigration journey 116.
• It cannot detect Jiang Shuyue’s gossip system or hear her private exchanges with Huahua 85 116.
• Its attempts to report the changing plot to its superiors receive instructions to continue the mission, leaving it unable to restore the expected storyline 193.

Foreknowledge

Lan knows parts of the original novel’s plot and uses that knowledge to seek allies and claim prophetic authority 161 193 337.

• Proposes timing a rain-praying ceremony around a predicted drought and rainfall to gain public belief 116.
• Claims knowledge of torrential rains, an earthquake three years later, and a locust plague five years later 332 337.
• Expects Liu Defa to become a weapon against Zhou Yunshen by replacing him and blocking his army 193.
• Her predictions become unreliable as events change; she incorrectly insists that Jiang Liuli remains Zhou’s beloved “cherished moonlight” 96 97.

Medicine

Lan has medical education and presents herself as an exceptional healer, but the supplied accounts repeatedly challenge her competence 85 97.

• Huahua exposes failed or trivial medical work, including a botched operation whose consequences required her wealthy benefactor to spend thirty million resolving 97.
• She establishes a clinic with consultation areas, treatment rooms, rehabilitation facilities, premium wards, and operating rooms 120.
• Her profitable supposed cure-all is exposed as opium, with Prince Zhong identifying its dependence-producing and destructive effects 332.

Technical Knowledge

Lan offers modern production methods as a route to wealth and court recognition.

• Soap-making: Supplies instructions that Zhou Yunshen subsequently uses to produce basic soaps 118 119.
• Iron-smelting: Promises harder, lighter weapons, although no successful result is documented in the supplied passages 112.
• Weapons and gunpowder: Discusses pistols and cannons and provides manufacturing methods; an incorrect gunpowder mixture later causes an arsenal explosion 153 332.

Natal Gardenia

• In the past-life side story, she manifests a natal gardenia intended to disrupt Zhou Yunshen’s divine sense and stop his attack 377.
• Its scent instead disgusts him, and he destroys her physical body immediately afterward 377.

Equipment / Items

• Luxury clothing and jewelry — Used to cultivate her Goddess image; later purchases consume much of her system-point balance 111 303.
• Stolen clothing — Huahua reveals that an outfit she repeatedly wears was taken from a woman who had sheltered her 96.
• Opium-based “medicine” — Marketed as an exclusive remedy and used to demonstrate her clinic’s profitability before the court 331 332.
• Ruby — Her donkey, which she proudly considers superior to Jiang Shuyue’s mount 303.
• Stolen sandalwood box — Taken from Zhou Yunshen’s shop; contains two fifty-tael silver ingots and a jade dildo. Damage to the box and jeweled lock leads to a thousand-tael compensation payment by Fanghua 117 118.

Relationships

• Jiang Shuyue / Liu Shuyue — Principal rival. Lan alternates between recruiting her, undermining her marriage, plotting her humiliation, and accusing her of stealing fortune. Liu eventually refuses to rescue her from the sacrificial formation 97 117 348 350.
• Xiangxiang / Five Flower / Lu Sheng — Former system partner. Their relationship deteriorates through insults, punishment, and blame. After severing the bond, Five Flower joins Jiang Shuyue, later becomes human, and receives the name Lu Sheng 138 146 333 348 350.
• Fourth Prince, Huangfu Xuanming — Patron and the male lead identified by her system. He uses violence to enforce obedience and wants her established as a Goddess capable of opposing the Imperial Preceptor; he later requests her public execution 116 333.
• Second Prince — Helps arrange her initial approach to the Crown Prince and later visits her prison cell to obtain her knowledge. Their encounter becomes sexual after an apparent drug-related influence 86 337 338 346.
• Crown Prince — A target of her attempts to gain romantic and political access. He assigns her road repairs and warns her against deceiving the sovereign 89 113.
• Zhou Yunshen — Both an object of attraction and an obstacle. He offers a shop for her clinic while requiring proof of her claims, opposes her schemes, and destroys her past-life body 87 112 175 377.
• Zhou Luming, Zhou Shiye, and Zhou Sesong — Defend their mother against Lan. Sesong kicks her away during an attack, while Shiye catches the infant she attempts to throw 96 267 307.
• Sangshen — Her maid. Lan nearly strikes her and orders her to monitor Jiang Shuyue’s purchases; the system restrains Lan by warning of Sangshen’s powerful connections 143.
• Fanghua — Pays compensation after the stolen-box incident and presses Lan to fulfill her commitments. She also warns about the clinic’s operating costs 118 120.
• Liu Defa — Intended recruit whose goodwill Lan hopes to convert into Fortune Points. He rejects her insinuations against his friends and instead grows close to the Jiang family 161 165 193.
• Wan Chaoyang — Her ally in the past-life assault on the Immortal Cloud Sect 374.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Arrival and Failed Approach to the Crown Prince

• A staged accident nearly leaves Lan trampled by a horse. She escapes with two practiced rolls and suspects, without certainty, that the Crown Prince may be responsible 85.
• Her hired bandits are revealed to be genuine criminals who intend to kidnap her afterward. Jiang Shuyue charges her one hundred taels for passage; Lan pays fifty and signs a debt contract for the remainder plus daily interest 86.
• After urging that the bandits be killed, Lan is forced by May to stab a badly wounded man and faints into the mud 87.
• Her criticism of Zhou Yunshen’s road-clearing order results in responsibility for the repairs. Her subsequent attempt to obtain the Crown Prince’s contact details is publicly rebuked 88 89.
• Unpaid porters demand more than fifty taels. Lan tries to shift the debt to the Marquis’s household, then claims prophetic authority and predicts Jiang’s abandonment; Zhou Sesong orders her bound and given fifty lashes 96.

Goddess Campaign and Clinic

• Lan offers to treat the Empress Dowager and introduce improved iron-smelting. Zhou Yunshen insists that she demonstrate results before receiving recognition and offers her a valuable South Street shop 112.
• The Fourth Prince demands that she earn three hundred taels within a month and build religious influence sufficient to counter Murong Tianci 116.
• She proposes drugging Jiang and arranging an assault at her brother’s wedding, then revises the scheme to hallucinogen-induced public stripping. The supplied context does not document either plan being carried out 117.
• With two princes’ assistance, she gathers supplies in fewer than four days and recruits seven or eight Imperial Medical Bureau apprentices for her elaborate clinic 120.

Reputation and Recruitment Failures

• Returning from the Forging Bureau, Lan finds her clinic’s attendance diminished. Physicians reject her attempt to treat them as servants, while crowds praise Jiang Shuyue’s treatments 138.
• Her attempt to recruit Liu Defa fails after she mistakes his friends for bullies and refuses to accept his explanation. A request for a hundred-thousand-tael advance receives only the Fourth Prince’s instruction: “Settle down” 164 165.
• Lan insults Zhou Yunshen’s children over their lack of biological relation to him, attempts to strangle Sesong, and tries to throw an infant. The Zhou and Yu families condemn her conduct 265 267.
• At the examination gathering, her insult of the crowd as “lowborn wretches” further damages her standing; the Zhou siblings point out that she is herself a commoner 307.

Court Exposure and Imprisonment

• After her donkey causes a court disturbance, the emperor orders forty paddle strokes and permanent banishment from the Imperial City. Zhou Yunshen then calls for judgment on her overdue wager 331.
• Lan submits a profitable medical ledger and testimonials from a hundred households, but her remedy is exposed as opium 331 332.
• News of the arsenal explosion undermines her weapons claims. Officials demand execution, and both the Fourth Prince and Crown Prince support the ultimate punishment 332 333.
• Imprisoned, she tells the Second Prince about her system, missions, and disaster foreknowledge, accusing the system of abandoning her when she began to fail 337.

Final Confinement

• Lan is diagnosed with a venereal disease after her encounter with the Second Prince and suffers an emotional collapse 346.
• At the purification chamber, she is chained by the hands and neck, kneeling partly submerged on a lotus platform. Master Huiming describes the procedure as a forty-nine-day treatment and warns that she has lost her mind 347.
• Liu Shuyue’s attempted kindness becomes another confrontation. Lan recognizes her system communication, proposes an alliance, and threatens both Liu and her former system after being refused 347 348.
• Liu leaves her inside a genuine sacrificial formation despite her pleas. Five Flower confirms that Lan has zero Fortune Value and will be reduced to ashes 350.
