Mo Ran as the tyrannical emperor, clad in oppressive black-and-gold robes, a Mian crown obscuring his feverish purple eyes. His pale skin is stark against the blood-red haze of the palace, lips twisted in a manic smirk. One hand grips Huaisha while the other clutches Chu Wanning’s torn white sleeve. Dark energy coils around him, cherry blossoms rotting mid-air."*
Mo Ran 1.0 (Early Rebirth):
"A cocky grin, tanned and muscular from labor, tossing a coin in the air. Wearing simpler robes, sleeves rolled up to reveal scars. Behind him, a chaotic market scene—stolen sweets, a glaring Xue Meng, and a distant, oblivious Chu Wanning."
Mo Zongshi (2.0, Ascended):
*"Elegant in white-and-blue robes mirroring Chu Wanning’s style, kneeling to heal a wounded child. His smile is gentle, but his eyes are heavy with guilt. Haitang petals cling to his hair, and Tianwen’s chains gleam at his waist—now wielded with wisdom, not wrath."
His expression is warm, eyes crinkled with mischief, but a shadow of deeper emotion lingers beneath, hinting at his turbulent past and rebirth. One hand rests on the hilt of his sword, while the other holds a half-eaten spicy meat bun, his favorite snack. The setting sun casts a golden glow over his tanned skin, contrasting with the cool tones of his robes. Behind him, the haitang petals scatter like snow, their sweet scent permeating the air—a subtle nod to his obsession with Chu Wanning’s fragrance.

The wind tousles his robes, emphasizing his broad shoulders and narrow waist. A faint scar peeks through his slightly disheveled collar, hinting at past battles.
