Overview

Danlichi is the charismatic prince of the Northern Rong — the empire's most dangerous neighbor. He appears first in the Side Story as Xu Minhui's lover, but his significance extends far beyond romance. As a warrior-diplomat, he represents the external pressure that makes internal politics so desperate. His wolf fang pendant is both a cultural symbol and a plot device.

Route Strategy
