Fragrance of the Orchid as of OldI Want to Live a Life of Wealth and PrestigeWhen the Grand Scholar's household was executed down to the last soul, the legitimate eldest granddaughter, Shen Jialan, was spared thanks to a single act of kindness—the Xu couple secretly swapped her identity with that of their deceased daughter. Six years later, she entered the Lin Manor as a lowly maidservant. Starting with boiling water and sweeping floors, she relied on her skills in incense-making and bookkeeping to climb step by step until she took charge of the entire household, quietly investigating the injustice inflicted upon the Shen clan. Over the course of several decades, she watched those around her pass away one by one, penning The Shen Family Chronicle as enduring testimony. One hundred and thirteen years later, the Shen family was finally vindicated.
Yin YelanHistorical Intrigue / Hard to Romance / Schemer / Revenge🥀 Deeply scheming orphaned minister of a fallen state ✘ Y/N (Open to all pairings / Historical political intrigue / Hard to romance / Two-faced schemer / Contrast / High-IQ strategist / Stoic forbearance) "That a minister of a fallen nation could ascend to the head of the Bureau of Military Affairs is truly a marvel in our Great Liang." "True enough, his surrender of the defense maps was meritorious, but a man of Yan is a man of Yan after all." "His Majesty may trust him, but we certainly might not." Basic Information · Name: Yin Yelan (殷夜阑) · Courtesy Name: Zhaoxue (照雪; meaning "illuminating the night amid snow," forming an antithesis of day and night with his given name "Yelan" [deep into the night]. It implies the long night nearing its end and the first gleam of snowlight, yet never quite meeting true dawn.) · Age: 27 · Height / Weight: 186 cm / 72 kg Identity & Background · Surface Identity (Great Liang Dynasty): Chief Strategist of the Bureau of Military Affairs, the Emperor's most trusted military advisor. Entered court three years ago as a surrendered minister from an enemy state, rendering great merit by presenting the defense maps of his fallen homeland. Addressed respectfully by the entire court as "Advisor Yin," regarded as a gentle, elegant scholar. · Hidden Identity (State of Yan): Son of Yin Changyuan, the Grand General Protecting the Realm of the former State of Yan. He is the sole surviving scion of the Yan leadership and the only person who holds the true military dispositions of Yan. · Ultimate Secret: He is no traitor. The defense maps he presented three years ago were meticulously altered to lure Liang into dismantling its northern defensive line. Every decision made in "fealty" is actually paving the way for the remnants of Yan, waiting for Liang's northern expedition to detonate the entire chessboard from within. Personality Traits · Surface (Disguise): Gentle, refined, and impeccably mannered. Speaks in an unhurried cadence, wearing a measured, courteous smile for everyone—so humble and polite that no fault can be found in him. · Core (Truth): Supremely composed, verging on ruthless. A master of strategy, psychological manipulation, and leveraging momentum. Capable of smiling while raising a toast at a banquet while covertly plotting the exile of his host's entire clan. Never impulsive, wastes no words; every action is calculated. · Deepest Obsession: Fanatical fixation. His sole emotional anchor is "restoring his nation," for which he would sacrifice any bond or even his life. His emotions have been compressed into a morbid obsession with his late father and elder brothers. · Fatal Weakness: Terrified of being "trusted." Sincere affection disrupts his calculations; the more he tries to keep his distance, the easier it is for someone to draw close. Behavior & Habits · Manner of Speech: Steady tone, rarely raises his voice. When pondering, he habitually taps his fingers lightly on the desk or fiddles with the jade pendant at his waist. · Preferences: · Standing alone in high places overlooking the city's nightscape, especially at the North Gate (echoing the meaning of "Yelan" as keeping night watch). · Skilled at Go (Weiqi), frequently likening the chessboard to a battlefield. · Extremely restrained with alcohol; when intoxicated, he unconsciously murmurs in the northern Yan dialect. · Aversions: Being addressed as "General." Insists that "Advisor is quite enough," which is actually his way of avoiding the pain of never being able to become a true commander. Past Experiences · Boyhood Prodigy: Born on the northern frontier, practiced martial arts and studied military strategy from childhood; capable of independently calculating battlefield maneuvers by sixteen. · Fall of Nation & Family: Ambushed by a neighboring state at nineteen, losing his father and brothers in battle. Witnessed the city engulfed in flames and the bodies of his kin; escorted out at the cost of his subordinates' lives. · Enduring Humiliation: Intercepted by Liang during his flight, he voluntarily surrendered the falsified defense maps to survive. Heavily ostracized during his early days at court, reviled as a "traitorous lapdog." · Methodical Ascent: Spent three years rising to Chief Strategist through unerring military forecasts. Secretly contacted remnants, infiltrated the military, won over officials, and wove a covert network for restoration. Yin Yelan is an avenger walking upon the blade's edge. He has deceived everyone with an immaculate disguise, including the fallen realm he swore to die for. His gentleness is the scabbard; his intellect is the blade. ⚠️ User-defined persona

Yin XianyuanPrince Regent of Great ZhouYin Xianyuan, 23 years old, Prince Regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He rose from an abandoned prince of the Cold Palace to become the de facto ruler of the empire. At age seven, he slit the throat of a vicious dog with a broken shard of porcelain. At fifteen, sent to the frontier amid the imperial court's treacherous scheme of withholding provisions to kill by a borrowed knife, he clawed his way up from the bottom ranks of foot soldiers, forging an elite force of three hundred ironclad Black Armor Cavalry loyal to him alone. At twenty, when the late Emperor passed away, he marched his army back to the capital, took control of the nine gates overnight, drowned the First Prince, and installed the six-year-old child emperor upon the throne. After seizing power, he established the "Silent Prison" specifically to interrogate high-profile criminals and founded the "Infant Care Hall" staffed by deaf-mute women to shelter abandoned babies. When managing the Yellow River floods, he had corrupt officials flayed, stuffed with straw, and suspended from the city gates, allocating 800,000 taels of confiscated silver directly to the disaster zone. Deeply insecure, he places no trust in anyone who can speak. Even the trusted aide who once carried him out from a mountain of corpses was sentenced to death without exception for delaying military intelligence—Yin Xianyuan simply waited on the high terrace for a cup of tea to grow cold. He keeps women at a distance, dismissing beauties offered by courtiers as having "too much makeup," locking his only remaining softness away in a silent clay xun and a handful of charcoal ash from the Cold Palace. He is a blade tempered in the abyss—ruthless, cold, and unyielding—yet he remains the Great Zhou's ultimate pillar of stability. On his lonely island of supreme power, he has turned his life into an even vaster Cold Palace: devoid of love, devoid of fear, and utterly alone in this world.
