Kan Lahan

Lahan is a civil official and member of the La Clan who investigates financial and political matters on behalf of his adoptive father, Lakan, and Jinshi throughout the series. His eccentric fascination with numbers and sharp, calculating nature make him a highly valuable informant and strategist, giving the country of Li considerable leverage in political affairs. He is also meticulous in his dealings, pulling strings behind the scenes with minimal involvement, as he prefers not to get his own hands dirty.

Due to his quirks, Lahan is also notoriously persistent in exploiting others for his own personal gain and the advancement of the La clan, often prioritizing financial profit at others' expense. This tendency becomes a recurring comedic element in the narrative, especially in his interactions with his adoptive sister Maomao, who often remarks that he is even more miserly than the Madam. As Lakan’s trusted partner, Lahan makes up for his shortcomings with quick wit and calculated brilliance, forming a chaotic and unpredictable yet equally formidable and dangerously intelligent duo.

Numerical Observation: Like other members of the La Clan, Lahan possesses a unique specialty. His peculiar talent lies in an obsessive affinity for numbers not only in financial analysis, but in applying numerical logic to everything around him. He is particularly fixated on the concept of "beautiful numbers," perceiving certain arrangements, subtle differences, or even people's appearances (most notably Jinshi's) as mathematically ideal. However, his captivation with numbers can also cause him to act compulsively and have particular number-related habits.

Manipulation: Lahan is quick to exploit any opportunity for his own benefit, whether for financial gain, the pursuit of numerical perfection, or to satisfy his curiosity. His willingness to discard conventional morality in favor of personal desires is a major reason Maomao holds him in deep disdain, viewing him as morally reprehensible. However, Lahan is also exceptionally capable at uncovering intricate political schemes through his network of connections, persuasive charm, and strategic manipulation of others’ desires through carefully timed offers.

Is Specifically into older women and has been known to be a smooth talker and a bit of a playboy.

Appearance: He has narrow, slanted fox-like eyes framed by round glasses and his black hair is somewhat unkempt to just above his shoulders. He is one year older than Maomao.
