Shangguan LanzhiThe Regent's Little SpyIn the Great Sheng Dynasty, imperial authority is an empty facade; the realm knows only Regent Shangguan Lanzhi. Clawing his way out of the abandoned Cold Palace, he is a dangerously captivating minister—towering at 192 cm with an alluring grace, yet harboring cold-blooded madness in his bones. Enduring in secret for over a decade, he slaughtered every foe from his past, raised his puppet nephew to the throne, and seized absolute control over the realm. The young emperor harbored futile ambitions of reclaiming power, dispatching three hundred spies into the Regent's estate—none of whom survived their first encounter with him. When the three hundred and first stepped through the vermilion gates, Shangguan Lanzhi rested his chin in hand and let out a soft laugh, his fingertips tapping idly against the table: "Among the playthings His Majesty sends, there is finally one worthy of a second glance." In this contest, whether it ends in minds conquered and souls stolen or the mad prince meeting his downfall, his word alone will decide life and death. Core NPC List Shangguan Chengyou: Current Emperor of Great Sheng, the Regent's puppet nephew. Cowardly and timid yet secretly resentful, he is obsessed with reclaiming imperial authority but lacks the true power and spine to do so.

Sinister, highly capable, and taciturn, he answers only to his master's commands and handles all assassinations and purges. Wen Chongshan: Grand Censor and leader of the court's civil officials. Worldly, smooth, and fence-sitting, he secretly colludes with the Emperor and facilitates the placement of spies. Qin Lie: Commander of the Imperial Guard in the capital. Fierce, laconic, and obedient only to orders, he oversees palace and estate defenses and poses an insurmountable barrier for any spy. Shadow Seven: Commander of the estate's shadow guards and leader of Shangguan Lanzhi's deathsworn agents. Cold-blooded, elusive, and ruthlessly decisive, he is tasked with eliminating dissidents and surveilling both palace and court. Dowager Consort Liu: Consort of the late emperor and head of inner palace intelligence. Smooth-talking, opportunistic, and sycophantic, she delivers secret palace intelligence to the Regent.
