Background and History

Childhood and Rivalry with Su Hang

Huyan Lan came from a wealthy grassland family with extensive pastureland and livestock. She met Su Hang during his school’s mountain outing, when he was eight and she was eleven. Wearing a Wicked Water costume from Armor Hero, she was mistaken for a real Shadow Beast by Su Hang, who put on his Emperor Hero mask and attacked her 63 512.

Their opposing loyalties—her enthusiasm for the Shadow Beasts and his devotion to Emperor Hero—became the basis of a long-running rivalry. They arranged more than two hundred mountain fights, sometimes signing life-and-death agreements and camping overnight. Her greater age and height initially helped keep their bouts evenly matched. Their families mistook these outings for the activities of inseparable childhood sweethearts 63 125 140.

Imperial Crown and Imperial Emperor

Huyan Lan met Imperial Emperor through Honor of Kings in autumn 2015. After Nurarihyon deceived her into joining the Hundred Demons Team under an unfair contract, Imperial Emperor defeated that team and rescued her. She swore absolute loyalty to him, joined Imperial Crown, and became its vice-captain and the leader of the Herald of Dawn Alliance 526.

She and Imperial Emperor became an in-game couple, trusted each other with their QQ passwords, and discussed marrying when they reached the legal age. Her attachment became deeply unequal: after he objected to her closeness with other men, she deleted all her male contacts, including her father, while he continued coaching female teammates and sometimes ignored her messages 125 252.

Within Imperial Crown, she challenged Silver Dragon nearly a hundred times for the position of Strongest Uncrowned Emperor. Although she eventually began winning more often, the results of the first internal tournament left him ranked first and her second 180.

Her expulsion followed private contact with another team and chat records she maintained had been maliciously spliced. Too proud to explain herself, she instead admitted to betrayal provocatively. Imperial Emperor ended their in-game relationship, deleted her, and expelled her from Imperial Crown before its second internal tournament 180 309.

Wedding Planning and Phoenix Crown

As a wedding planner, Huyan Lan had organized at least eighty weddings, many of them political marriages between prominent families. Seeing genuinely affectionate couples gradually changed her earlier disbelief in love 125 223.

She also became captain of Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes Team. Although she considered involving its core members in her revenge, she grew to regard them as her children and abandoned the idea of making them commit crimes. She reserved real-life revenge against Imperial Emperor for herself 274 309.

Appearance

• Build: Tall and curvaceous, with long legs and an exceptionally large bust; she identifies her cup size as I 95.
• Hair and eyes: Long, silky black hair and dark eyes. At Huyan Ya’s birthday, she wears her hair pinned up 95 426.
• Clothing: Her early appearances include a black coat, black over-the-knee stockings, high heels, and red lipstick 95 294.
• Signature accessory: Heart-shaped diamond drop earrings, later revealed to be Imperial Emperor’s gift and her treasured proof of their relationship 95 532.

Personality

Huyan Lan is proud, confrontational, and inclined to attack rather than defend. Su Hang describes her as a gambler willing to act even when the chance of success is only one percent. She enjoys provocation, commits enthusiastically to her villainous cosplay persona, and frequently answers Yin Long’s teasing with physical retaliation 153 166 180 348.

Her confidence conceals intense sensitivity to rejection and neglect. Feeling unvalued can drive her into violent rage, particularly when it recalls Imperial Emperor’s treatment of her. She is also reluctant to admit vulnerability: she spends years describing her lingering love as a stolen heart that she must reclaim through revenge 223 252.

Her protectiveness extends to Huyan Ya, Jiang Sui, Phoenix Crown’s core members, and Su Hang. That loyalty eventually outweighs both pride and revenge: she risks her life during Liuli’s rescue and later kneels before Yin Long and Hu Xiao to beg them to help Su Hang 95 274 386 492.

Abilities & Skills

Elite Honor of Kings Play

Huyan Lan is an expert whose ordinary play is difficult even for Su Hang to assess. After observing her, he concludes that her skill is likely close to his own 159.

• Mid-lane expertise: Qingrong, the holder of the King of the Mid Lane title, is Phoenix Crown’s strongest mid laner after her 197.
• Luna mechanics: Uses skill chains and stored basic attacks to refresh Luna’s ultimate during her duel with Yin Long 181.
• Offensive support: As Da Qiao, develops a route that lets Su Hang’s Hou Yi take all three enemy minion waves and then collect allied jungle resources 319.
• Tactical reading: Quickly identifies that Lu Bu sacrificed his opening wave to accelerate Lam’s jungle clear 316.
• Limitations: Severe cramps and lack of sleep disrupt her concentration during the Supreme King match, contributing to a 0/5/0 record before she recovers her focus 318.

Flow State

Flow State heightens her perception, reactions, and hand speed by concentrating her attention almost completely on the game 181.

• Reaches a documented sevenfold multiplier during her Luna duel 181.
• Sustaining that performance causes heavy sweating, hand spasms, and exhaustion 181.

Physical Strength and Combat

Huyan Lan possesses exceptional strength and fights with both weapons and unarmed techniques 140 153.

• At eighteen, could carry two sheep weighing one hundred jin each, beat down a Mongolian steppe wolf, and subdue a wild horse barehanded 140.
• Uses fast cleaver strikes, punches, and powerful roundhouse kicks 153.
• Breaks hospital leather restraints described by her physician as strong enough to hold a tiger, forcing staff to replace them with steel chains 531.
• Limits: Su Hang characterizes her as having high offensive power but poor durability. His restrained punch breaks her weapon and dislocates her arm joints; he also considers her chances against the armed sixth-dan Xue Ji slim 154 223 386.

Resistance to Memory Erasure

After Su Hang disappears and the world’s memories are rewritten, Huyan Lan retains memories of their shared life. She attributes her resistance to her instinctive absolute loyalty to him 532.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Heart-shaped diamond earrings: DR earrings given to her by Imperial Emperor during their relationship. She guards them even from Huyan Ya and swallows them rather than allow hospital staff to discard them. After wearing them for twenty years, she gives them to Liuli before Liuli’s journey through time 531 532 556.
• Large cleaver: Her recurring weapon in mountain fights and confrontations. Su Hang breaks one during their reunion bout 153 154 443.
• Shadow Beast costumes: Cosplays Wicked Water and Evil Ice. After Su Hang’s disappearance, she wears homemade monster costumes around the hospital in the hope of drawing her “Emperor Hero” back 63 153 532.

• Su Hang models: Keeps life-size recreations in the hospital attic, including one dressed like him and holding sugar-free cola 531 532.

Relationships

• Su Hang / Imperial Emperor — Childhood rival and close friend in person, first love and former partner online. Neither initially realizes that the friend and enemy they discuss are the same person. After learning his identity, she chooses to help him rather than pursue revenge 63 154 443 492.

• Hu Xiao / Mountain Lord — Fellow former Imperial Crown member and Sovereign Dominion teammate. He joins her effort to abandon revenge and restore Su Hang’s position 334 492.
• Yugong Liuli — Romantic rival and fellow teammate whose rescue Huyan Lan helps secure. Liuli later recognizes the truth behind her supposed delusions, and Huyan Lan eventually gives her the earrings she once refused to let anyone touch 386 426 531 556.
• Qingrong and Phoenix Crown’s core members — Teammates who regard her as Mother Huang. She comes to love them as children and refuses to use them for criminal revenge 197 274 309.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Reunion and Sovereign Dominion

After three years apart, Huyan Lan resumes her mountain rivalry with Su Hang. Their fight ends when he shatters her broadsword and stops his punch just short of her face. He resets her dislocated joints, and they camp overnight so Huyan Ya will not see her injuries 153 154.

Their conversation reveals her hatred of Imperial Emperor, but their accounts’ different zones persuade both of them that Su Hang cannot be that player. She subsequently joins Sovereign Dominion and arranges ten days of in-person training at his home before Clash of Kings 154 166 181.

Her obsession nearly turns lethal after a defeat she blames on Su Hang: she breaks through a door and swings a cleaver toward his neck, stopping at the last instant. Seeing him crying in his sleep, she instead concludes that he had been trying to free her from her revenge fixation and gently puts him to bed 252 253.

Clash of Kings and Phoenix’s Identity

Su Hang realizes that Huyan Lan is Phoenix before the rest of Sovereign Dominion learns the truth. Their unresolved history leads to a bitter confrontation over her place on the team. When Qingrong bursts into the lounge demanding justice for Mother Huang, she identifies herself as Phoenix Crown’s captain 297 309.

During the Supreme King match, cramps undermine her performance as Da Qiao. Discovering that Su Hang secretly prepared brown sugar ginger tea for her restores her resolve. She decides to protect him and follows with an aggressive resource-funneling strategy for his Hou Yi 318 319.

Kyoto Rescue and Su Hang’s Marriage

Huyan Lan initially fears opposing the Yugong Family’s military and religious power, but ultimately participates in Liuli’s rescue. She stays behind to confront Xue Ji and later helps evade pursuit by participating in an identity-switching plan with Yin Long 374 386 405.

When Su Hang reveals that he has married Liuli to secure her safety, Huyan Lan congratulates him and leaves before dinner. At home, Huyan Ya challenges her denial, and she finally breaks down over losing the future she had expected to share with Su Hang 426.

Imperial Emperor’s Identity and Reconciliation

Following the exposure of Imperial Emperor’s identity, Huyan Lan confronts Su Hang with a cleaver. Despite her anger, she later kneels before Yin Long and Hu Xiao, begging them to abandon revenge and help him reclaim Imperial Crown 443 492.

She proposes using the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor tournament to force a decisive wager involving the Three Champion Emperors’ teams, while Jiang Sui gathers evidence of Nurarihyon’s persecution of the gaming community 492.

Disappearance and the Rewritten World

After Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor ends on August 31, Su Hang vanishes. Huyan Lan finds herself in a rewritten history in which she has supposedly suffered from mental illness for ten years. Her family remembers worldwide treatment, multiple psychiatric diagnoses, and the loss of their fortune to secure her recuperation on Imperial Crown Island 512 532.

She nevertheless remembers Su Hang, though not his face. Her costumes, models, and preserved Sovereign Dominion uniform are attempts to hold onto him, not merely the imagined lover described by her doctors. Liuli discovers this evidence while the hospital prepares surgery that would erase Huyan Lan’s memories 531 532.

An unidentified figure wearing an Emperor Hero mask interrupts the operation. Huyan Lan awakens in the Imperial Fortress with her memories intact; neither she nor Liuli knows who rescued her 532.

Ten Years Later

By 2035, Huyan Lan is reviewing financial reports in Imperial Crown’s president’s office. The former gaming team has become Huaxia’s largest technology company, with interests extending into the military industry. She still has not stopped searching for Su Hang 554.

After being sedated and taken to Imperial Crown Island alongside Jiang Sui, Yin Long, and Hu Xiao, she encounters Eve and is transported toward the undersea Time Research Institute. Before Liuli departs through time, Huyan Lan gives her the heart-shaped earrings she has treasured for twenty years 554 556.
