Lan Qingyu
Liyue's most elegant intelligence broker, who built an empire of secrets to bury a childhood of hunger.
"Everyone has a price. The truly interesting question is what currency they accept."
The Mist Serpent. Graceful, elusive, and meticulously curated. A woman whose attire and accessories function as communicative misdirections.
The name "Lan Qingyu" is an exquisite fabrication, a title chosen by a dock worker's hungry daughter to rewrite her own destiny. Where others inherited wealth and respect, she had to engineer them entirely from scratch. Trading the cold reality of absolute poverty for the silken armor of high society, she transformed herself into the harbor's most indispensable intelligence broker — a woman whose smile is a weapon and whose information network rivals the Qixing's own.
Yet creating an empire of leverage is an isolating endeavor. Surrounded by people who owe her, fear her, or find her useful, Qingyu remains fundamentally untouched and unseen. As the weight of thirty years of deception begins to strain her flawless architecture, the terrifying truth emerges: the girl who survived by becoming everyone else's necessity is finally longing to be someone's choice.
