Sang Ran

''There are many words that are literally translated from the original language. This article contains spoilers from the latest chapter of the Chinese version comic.''

Sang Ran is the royal heir to the Eastern Imperial Clan and a major antagonist of the series.

Her true name is unknown in earlier chapter but then it was revealed at the raw with her name as Donghuang Ran. She plays a gentle girl of lowly status. But contrary to appearances, she is well connected, well informed, and considerably more dangerous and malevolent than she lets on.

Personality
She is seemingly a timid and easily bullied girl with a gentle demeanor. But in truth, this is all an act.

She is actually a scheming treacherous manipulator and shows many signs of being a sociopath. She feels no gratitude for all of the help Feng Lian Wan has given her, and if anything feels envy towards her for having several things she has been wanting for herself. When putting her true personality on display, her face reveals little emotion. She has a habit of telling her victims that they are to blame for her misdeeds. Sang Ran also shows signs of being a sadist, blackmailing Han Ying Zhong into destroying his relationship with Feng Lian Wan purely for her own entertainment. She can be very petty and will quietly kill people who badmouth her. She is also a snob who holds commoners in complete disdain.

Summary
She traveled to the Lanyuan continent in order to claim the Reincarnation Mirror from the Xuan Ji Sect. Taking over the identity of a humble girl from the Sang family, she pretended to be a girl named Sang Ran, sealing her cultivation and even her own memory. She joined the applicants seeking to enter the Xuan Ji Sect. Since her cover identity was the illegitimate daughter of a lowly maid, her supposed half-sisters bullied her over this, but Feng Lian Wan, taking an interest in her due to her sharing the name of a friend from back home, helped her out by attacking them with bees.

Sang Ran managed to get close to Feng Lian Wan and Feng Lian Wan came to see her as one of her closest friends.

To take the mirror from Feng Lian Wan, Sang Ran killed many of her friends and framed her for their murders. But even after destroying Feng Lian Wan's cultivation and severing her ties to it, the mirror refused to acknowledge Sang Ran as its new master.

After Sang Ran grievously wounded the Xuan Ji Sect's successor and framed Feng Lian Wan for it, they named her as their new one, choosing to ignore the suspicious circumstances surrounding her due to being awed by her talent and powerful backing.

During the Lanyuan Competition, Feng Lian Wan managed to trick Sang Ran into exposing her true colors. While annoyed, Sang Ran was able to cow the entire audience into submission with her status as a member of the Eastern Imperial Clan.

Abilities
Despite having five spirit roots, she has a high cultivation level due to coming from the Land of Heavenly Prayers. She is able to conceal her true cultivation level and pretend to be weaker than she actually is.

Her specialty lies in creating arrays, allowing her to set magical traps.

Feng Lian Wan
Feng Lian Wan takes an interest in her due to her having the same name as a friend from back home. She protects Sang Ran from her half-sisters' bullying and treats her as a close friend.

Sang Ran pretended to reciprocate, but quietly felt envy towards her for becoming Master Mu's disciple while she couldn't. Wanting Feng Lian Wan's divine mirror for herself, she eventually enacts a successful plot to take away everything from her. She kills off many of Feng Lian Wan's close friends in the process and frames her for their murders, making Feng Lian Wan into a fugitive.

For Sang Ran's betrayal, Feng Lian Wan devotes her life to getting revenge.

BaiLi KongCheng
Sang Ran captured several of his clan members and used them as hostages to force him to work with her. She made him help her develop her schemes to ruin Feng Lian Wan's life and steal her artifacts. He demanded that she at least let Feng Lian Wan go, but when Feng Lian Wan refused to commit suicide to break her bond with her divine mirror, Sang Ran crippled her, much to his outrage.
