Loulan is a fair-skinned young woman with long black hair and dark golden eyes. In the anime, her hair is portrayed as a deep plum color, while in the manga, it appears dark purple. Her striking appearance, paired with her dignified aura, makes her stand out among the other consorts of the Inner Court.

As a consort, Loulan was renowned for her lavish and extravagant fashion sense. She often wore opulent clothing and jewelry influenced by a blend of regional styles, making her attire unique and eye-catching. Her makeup was heavy and intricate, concealing much of her natural beauty and making it difficult for others to read her expressions. Even among high-ranking consorts, her elaborate presentation was seen as excessive and emblematic of her ambition and her family’s political influence.

On the surface, Loulan appears to be an aloof and enigmatic woman who rarely reveals her true thoughts or emotions. Her cold and distant demeanor gives the impression that she lacks feelings altogether, a result of her overbearing mother whose control shaped Loulan into a seemingly “puppet-like” figure. However, beneath that restrained exterior lies a compassionate and free-spirited individual who genuinely cares for her family and the children of the Shi Clan from which she hails.

Loulan is exceptionally intelligent and perceptive. Beyond her extensive knowledge of insects, she demonstrated remarkable awareness from a young age, realizing that she needed to act obedient and compliant in order to survive under her mother’s oppressive influence. Despite this, she never lost sight of her own sense of justice. Loulan not only discerned the truth behind her mother’s presence in the rear palace, a secret even her mother did not fully understand, but also devised her own quiet plans to thwart her mother’s ambitions and safeguard the Shi Clan’s future.

In time, Loulan was chosen to succeed Ah-Duo as the next Pure Consort. Despite the prestige and influence tied to her new position, she remained withdrawn and indifferent to the political machinations of the Inner Palace. Rather than seek power, Loulan preferred solitude, maintaining a quiet and distant presence amid the scheming and rivalry that surrounded her.

• Influence: As a high consort, Loulan held some power within the inner and outer court. However, most of her influence came from her father, a man highly favored by the lateEmpress Regnant.

• Intelligence: Loulan is very cunning, to the point that she is described as a “vixen”.

• Entomology: Loulan loves insects and is knowledgeable enough to predict the locust swarms that would plague theWestern Capital.

Lady Loulan’s legacy is one marked by quiet strength and tragic grace. Though bound by her mother’s ambitions and the political machinations of the Inner Court, she lived with dignity and compassion, choosing subtle defiance over open rebellion. Her intelligence, composure, and perceptiveness allowed her to navigate the dangers of palace life while secretly working to protect her loved ones and preserve the honor of the Shi Clan. Despite being remembered as a consort shrouded in mystery, those who learned of her true nature understood her as a woman who bore immense burdens for the sake of others. In the end, Lady Loulan’s name became a symbol of resilience—a reminder of the quiet courage required to uphold one’s humanity within the confines of power and deceit.
