So when I write, I like to visual the person I'm writing about...and this was a problem when it comes to Lady Lan, Wangji and Xichen's mother.  Lady Lan has no name in the book and although there was an actress in Untamed, I have no idea what her name is either...

We can imagine her as Lady Lan from the drama or as a friend of mine suggested, someone like 童荣庆, also called Terma Tong. She's beautiful, around the right age, and looks like the brothers.

I really wanted Michelle Yeoh as I have been a huge fan of hers for years! And with the wuxia films she has starred in, you can imagine her needing sanctuary for a host of reasons! :)

But which one do you like? Please tell me in the comments and I'll add the right picture! Thank you!

Wei Wuxian's eyes are sharp and shockingly cold. All warmth and the very brightness of his soul was not dimmed, it was shut away. His stance was combative, jaw tense with anger echoed in the set of his brows, the charcoal coat he was wearing only adding to the ominous air that surrounded him.

Lan Zhan stared at the photo open on his laptop, amid the sea of papers, folders and broken hopes.

Wei Ying was standing just in front of his siblings, the defensive message as clear as daylight. Jiang Cheng just behind Wei Ying's right shoulder had not worn his Jiang coat, but was wearing a silk shirt the color of aubergines. His angular face was gaunt with grief, but his eyes were molten, one had clamped to Wei Ying's bicep.

On the left, her face set in a grim, angry expression was Jiang Yanli. In this photo, for the first time Lan Zhan could easily see the resemblance to her father, Jiang Fengmian in the haughty biting chill of her gaze. Her fingers were gripping Wei Ying's black coat, just around the edges. Not enough to hold him back, but just enough to make Wei Ying pause, not wanting to hurt his sister by moving too quickly.

Slightly in front of Wei Ying was Nie Huaisang in all black, looking appalled, his eyes glittering with anger.

This news photo captured just as Wen Xu made some kind of statement through one of his many proxies, told Lan Zhan too many things to overlook and had the sourness of old worry returning to his throat.
