Lan Muxing

Biodata

Appearance

• Face: Cute and pretty, with expressive eyes that his fans praise as capable of “stealing souls” 39 44.
• Build: Fairly tall, with a well-maintained physique suited to modeling 179.
• On-camera presentation: Frequently uses reddened eyes, restrained tears, blushing, and small, withdrawn movements to reinforce his delicate omega image 12 15 28.
• Beastification feature: Rabbit ears, distinct from the cat headpiece used during his introduction 7 114.

Personality

Lan Muxing carefully maintains a gentle, innocent, vulnerable public persona. He understands how affectionate gestures, apparent helplessness, and flattering remarks appeal to viewers, and he builds these into his performances. His supposed incompetence in the kitchen is explicitly part of the “ditzy beauty” role prepared for his publicity pairing with Yan Cheng, rather than proof of his actual cooking ability 12 18 19.

Privately, he is sharper, angrier, and more outspoken than that image suggests. After Yan Cheng ends their arrangement, Lan Muxing suppresses his fury to avoid breaking character; viewers mistake his anger-induced heart-rate spike for lingering love. Away from the cameras, he openly calls Yan Cheng trash 38 44 47.

His affection for Bai Luochuan is not solely a performance. He genuinely wants to repay Bai for saving his life and offers help even when no cameras are present. He is also experienced enough to recognize that public abuse cannot be controlled indefinitely, although it can still upset him 77 100 101.

Career-mindedness and self-respect become increasingly visible alongside his softer image. During a staged confrontation over omega marriage expectations, he refuses to accept that marriage should require abandoning his work or individuality 165 185 186.

History

Publicity Pairing with Yan Cheng

Before filming, Lan Muxing and Yan Cheng arrange to promote themselves as a couple. Yan Cheng originally proposes the arrangement, and both companies approve it as a work decision. Their romantic presentation does not reflect a genuine relationship 37 38 100.

Lan Muxing enters the show wearing a cat headpiece and later introduces himself as an omega. Early activities emphasize the pairing: he waits somewhere Yan Cheng can easily find him during the hospital game, leaves on Yan Cheng’s back after reporting a twisted ankle, and performs affectionate cooking scenes with him 7 8 12 15 19.

The arrangement is complicated by his attraction to Qi Yu. During a monitored interview, his loving expressions toward footage of Yan Cheng produce no alarm, while footage of Qi Yu immediately raises his heart rate. Asked to choose who interests him more, he names Qi Yu 21.

Separation and Near-Drowning

Yan Cheng ends their publicity pairing during a mountain outing, claiming that manufacturing romantic moments deceives their fans. Lan Muxing is bewildered because Yan Cheng initiated the plan. His distress afterward comes from anger and the prospect of completing the cliff jump alone—not heartbreak 37 38.

Determined to preserve an independent, adorable image, Lan Muxing declines an instructor’s offer to accompany him. After jumping, he accidentally releases part of his harness and falls into the water. Unable to swim, he starts sinking until Bai Luochuan dives in and brings him to the rescue boat 38.

Lan Muxing insists on continuing filming and asks his manager not to make too much of the accident. That evening, he seeks out Bai Luochuan to thank him 39.

Feelings for Bai Luochuan

After the rescue, Lan Muxing openly pursues Bai Luochuan. He expresses approval of omega–beta relationships, agrees to pair with Bai during the mystery-partner activity, and publicly lists Bai’s looks, intelligence, wit, and humor among his good qualities. Bai declines the proposed romantic pairing because he believes they lack chemistry 40 42 54.

His interest develops into enthusiastic admiration. He offers practical help, defends Bai against doubts about his abilities, praises his acting, and becomes excited whenever an activity might let them team up 77 114 170 181.

Yan Cheng’s Scandal

When Yan Cheng’s misconduct is exposed, Lan Muxing follows the revelations late into the night and shows the other guests a censored video of Yan kissing several omegas. He expresses satisfaction that Yan’s associates have finally exposed him 95.

During a later livestream, he clarifies that their former couple act was company-approved publicity unrelated to his personal feelings. Viewers nevertheless accuse him of abandoning Yan Cheng after the scandal. Bai Luochuan intervenes against the abusive comments, and Lan Muxing thanks him 100 101.

Later Show Activities

Rejecting Omega Marriage Expectations

During a scripted confrontation, an actor posing as a prospective partner’s parent belittles Lan Muxing’s career and demands that he obey the family after marriage. Lan Muxing initially tries to explain himself while controlling his rising anger 185 186.

He then changes tactics, challenges the family’s entitlement, rejects the idea that an omega should lose their individuality, and walks out. His response surprises both the actor and viewers expecting his usual fragile persona; many commenters praise him for standing up for himself 186.

Farewell

As filming ends, Lan Muxing tries to give Bai Luochuan a farewell hug, but Qi Yu stops him. He instead asks whether they can remain friends, and Bai agrees before leaving with Qi Yu 190.

Relationships

• Bai Luochuan — Rescuer, romantic interest, and eventual friend. Lan Muxing’s gratitude is genuine even off camera; Bai does not reciprocate his romantic pursuit but agrees to remain friends 38 42 77 190.
• Yan Cheng — Former publicity partner, not a former lover. Their manufactured romance ends at Yan’s initiative, and Lan Muxing later openly condemns his behavior 37 38 95 100.
• Qi Yu — An early object of attraction and later a rival for Bai Luochuan’s attention. Qi Yu repeatedly blocks his attempts to join Bai or become physically closer to him 21 56 190.
• Yang Qingfeng — Partner in furnishing and role-play activities. Their domestic arrangement is explicitly described as a warm, friend-like partnership rather than a romance 160 168.
• Chu Zhu — Fellow contestant and activity companion. They cooperate with He Gui during an outing and compete closely in the poetry quiz; Chu Zhu also helps test his claimed identity during the castle game 56 136 174.
• Xu Zhengyin — Teammate in the hero-versus-dragon event and the player whose hand-kiss precedes his elimination in the castle game 113 136 137.
