Throughout her intelligence career, Ye Lan had one memorable operation, one that combined success and failure. It could be said to be a failure, as during the operation she lost a family heirloom called the "Mesmerizing Bracelet." Engraved on the inside of the jade bracelet is a spell, passed down through generations, that transforms the heirloom into a simple communication device. However, the spell requires a pair of such vessels to function. Now, with only one bracelet remaining, it has become nothing more than an accessory. However, the operation was also a success for Ye Lan, as her enemy was also unable to gain the upper hand. And her enemy was no ordinary one—he was none other than "The Dealer," the Ninth of the Fatui Harbingers. Ye Lan infiltrated a secret trade route controlled behind the scenes by the Regrator, intercepted the goods, and selected the most valuable as compensation for her bracelet. Long ago, there existed a strange, mystical beast. A robe made from its fur was worth a fortune, and its rarity made it extremely difficult to obtain. The merchant wanted to present it to the Queen, but Ye Lan unexpectedly intercepted it. Furthermore, she rejected the style the Snowy people had chosen for their Queen—she plucked the fur, combined it with ramie yarn from Liyue, and sewed herself a rather fashionable robe with sleeves. This chain of events can be considered significant or insignificant, depending on one's perspective. Ultimately, it all comes down to three words: gain and loss. The cycle of gain and loss is a fairly accurate description of Ye Lan's life. But all this doesn't bother her much. On the contrary, she derives great pleasure from it.
