His appearance is extraordinary. The Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the History of the North say that he is "soft on the outside and firm on the inside, full of sound and emotion". In "The Monument to the Bell of My King in Lanling", he said "cool and colorful"; In the book "Old Tangqu", he said that he was "both talented and beautiful"; In the story of Sui and Tang Dynasties, he was described as a "beauty in white".
It can be seen that the beauty of the warrior Lan Ling is beyond doubt and detached. Because the warrior Lan Ling in history is very feminine and looks better than women, he always wears a mask when fighting.
