[CC] Legend of Hailan: Victim to FIGHTER | Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 如懿传 C-drama Fan Edit MV

[TURN ON CC FOR ENG SUBS] This is a fan video for the Chinese drama Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace (如懿传 Ruyi Zhuan). It depicts Keliyete Hailan's (珂里葉特·海蘭) transformation from a timid and bullied girl to a powerful and calculating woman. She took down her enemies and gave them a taste of their own poison. Hailan is generally revered as a protagonist, but make no mistake that she harmed not only her enemies, but also innocents. I believe her character is more complex than just a simple heroine.
This edit was very difficult to make due to the sheer amount of clips and characters. 💀💀💀 Of course, many moments were left out because I could not cram 87 episodes into one video.
Some of the translations are my own and may be paraphrased for context. Other translations are based on existing subtitles, some of which I edited and localized for my video. There may be a few errors.

Hailan is so strong. She was a lamb that turned into a lion !

[@rosaj2652]

Yes, she had a better understanding of the politics of the palace than ruyi. But over played her hand by having yuche killed.

[@issywilly1988]

No...not from a lamb into a lion but from an earthworm into a dragon

[@ellenhage3611]

@@rosaj2652 She had to have Ling Yunche killed. Ruyi was supposed to it, but wouldn't. So, Hailan did it for her.

[@Stinoco]

Hailan is the winner in RuYi’s Royal Love. She didn’t reach the highest rank, and her son couldn’t become the Emperor. Yet she had a high position and she was stable. She didn’t have any demotion, and got away with many schemes without ever being caught. She knows how to play

[@Ph-vl1fm]

the winner is 3rd empress (future emperor mother)

[@nuttapongphetpradub8005]

@@Ph-vl1fm If you read thoroughly, you’ll know that her title was granted after her death. And Jia Xing (the next king) was never raised with her, he was taken care by Taifei (Mistress of the previous Emperor)

[@yesthatmousyiris4887]

If Hailan's son Yongqi didn't die and he became emperor...As Empress Dowager Hailan would've been a force few would dare reckon with.

[@empresseseternelles]

If the drama didn't have historical constraints, I believe Hailan would've installed her son on the throne.

[@blaiaa]

Imagine the emperor was actually a good and just person. Yanwan would be killed for her mothers crimes before she had the chance to kill yongqi. Yongqi would therefore become the best emperor. Also, yanwan’s schemes would not affect ruyi and hongli’s relationship (and ling yunche would likely become a successful guard) so ruyi would still be the empress. Hailan and ruyi would be joint empress dowagers!

[@ganymede12283]

This is a powerhouse combination if Ruyi & Hailan are both become Empress Dowagers and the Emperor Qianlong is still Emperor Emeritus while Yongqi is the current one where Qianlong trust Yongqi's decision making ruling the empire. While Ling Yungche and Enuch Xian Bao and Enuch Li are the powerful guards in the palace. The Qing dynasty will live longer.

[@MsBakaProductions]

Can just imagine Empress dowagers Ruyi and Hailan living happily together🥺🥺

[@UeJPTv]

Unfortunately, her son would not be emperor,because the emperor stated it’s not the legitimate child and in the end he didn’t make it because he was already dead. Also, you got a remember that crazy chick ling her son becomes the Emperor . unfortunately, ling is dead by then but who cares. And even tho ruyis child should have been the emperor the emperor changed his mind and didn’t allow it unfortunately.

[@Greyce118]

Hailan is like.. my favorite character in the show. She doesn't care about things like morals when it comes to vengeance, she can use very low tactics to get what she want, but all she ever did was never motivated by ambition. She protected Ruyi and herself by using the same methods used by the bullies. I just LOVE her.

[@ellenhage3611]

Yes! I love Hailan.

[@TheTCMfan]

Hailan is a perfect example of why u should never bully people.. She got pushed to the limit and took out everyone…

[@ngshuenrong3070]

They killed her gentle personality it was mostly gone after this

[@giftmbanugo3605]

an lingrong in empresses of the palace had the same opportunity. but she was actually very stupid to heart

[@never4ever386]

Yeah, don’t mess around with Hailan otherwise she’ll finish you off without a happy ending.

[@SunflowerHeliotrope]

I swear, that moment she cuts the thread *with her teeth*, to me, that’s when the scared little kitten becomes the raging lioness. You can see it in her eyes: she’s done playing nice, done with being the good girl, and if she goes down, she’ll take down as many others as she can. Phenomenal acting in that scene!

[@emilygorter2589]

The only real love that existed in that drama was Hailan and Ruyi's love and loyalty for each other. She will forever be my favourite.

[@sakurapablo671]

And don’t forget, there’s few consorts that didn’t dare cross the line with Ruyi and Halian. So, some of them made the right choice of being a friend and ear to Ruyi and Halian, while the few that didn’t befriend, were killed, cast aside, or died by their choice. Since some of us, will love the friendship and sisterhood that Ruyi and Halian is bound to, and the friendship-bound with their maids and servants too.

[@yvettemarshallTWN]

Sisters/Soulmates. Both went to the wall for each other. Like your best childhood friend.

[@ayanahiromi]

I feel like the emperor always have a soft spot for Hailan. Even when she was falsely accused and imprisoned, he made sure she wasn’t harm. Partly maybe because Hailan is the mother of his most competent and favorite son, Yongqi, but still, among the other concorts Hailan is the one he always repect till the end

[@blaiaa]

He even said that he wishes there were more concubines like hailan, who didn’t care about fighting for favour and only cared about peace in the harem

[@ellenhage3611]

Exactly. For example, when it was thought that Jia's dog killed Jingse, Hailan went to the Emperor and he did what she wanted done as punishment. It seems that if Hailan said, then it was true.

[@yvettemckinzie9082]

Hailan was docile and taught her son well in the Emperor's eyes. Uf he only knew! Lol

[@carlazs5819]

I just love Hailan! She turned from this soft and gentle girl into a strong and ruthless woman who will not hesitate to annihilate her ennemies but who will also protect her loved ones at all cost. She stayed true to Ruyi until the very end, even when Ruyi distanced herself from her. Imo one of the most beautiful friendships in Chinese drama, along with the friendship between Zhen Huan and Meizhuang from Empresses in the Palace.

[@rosannehernandez2514]

Janine Chang, Hailan's actress did study law in real life so as you can see on the scene where Wei Yanwan's schemes are revealed, you can feel that she is like a lawyer and as a true advocate, it also reflects on her acting.

[@ingasparrow]

0:09 In the book, the "seduction" Gao is referring to is the Emperor getting very drunk and violating the palace maid who happened to be there (Hailan). Ruyi convinced the Emperor to take Hailan as a wife in order to spare her even further shame. Hailan never wanted to marry the man who hurt her, but she had little choice. She was still grateful to Ruyi for giving a damn about her and saving her. That's why Hailan goes hard when it comes to Ruyi.

[@empresseseternelles]

Yeah it seems the drama cut a lot out. Do you know why Hailan was viewed more favorably than Yanwan even though both were maids? Was Hailan's family background better than Yanwan's?

[@ingasparrow]

@@empresseseternelles My understanding is Hailan's background was better, but not by much. If it were, A'Ruo wouldn't have tormented her after Ruyi got locked up. I haven't had a chance to read the book myself. I only know details from other comments. It seems like Hailan moved up mostly because she was the mother of the Emperor's favorite son. In real life, Concubine Yu was rewarded with a new rank with the birth of her son. She was promoted further by the Emperor along with other concubines due to some event that I don't recall at the moment.

[@empresseseternelles]

@@ingasparrow Thanks, I also have not read the original novel but I've heard bits and pieces of info about it.

[@flashylights]

This explains so much as well as why Ruyi makes so many attempts to stop the Emperor from drinking (since she knows how he behaves under the influence)

[@ingasparrow]

@@flashylights It also explains why Hailan was so timid and fearful around the Emperor.

[@amaranth000]

Hailan is like ruyis secret executioner. Amazing video! Thank you

[@fatcat1399]

I love her (and the actress) so much. You just wanna hug her at the start but omg she is a Phoenix by the end, even if her morals are pretty grey. She becomes terrifying, but yet I’m still rooting for her 💜💜💜

[@empresseseternelles]

Janine Chang has come such a long way! She has really challenged herself with her roles in period dramas.

[@xiaoheiloh2252]

Although all the things she did was not right, but she did not do them out of greed or ambition, she did them all out of love for Ruyi. The only true love in this entire drama is only between Ruyi ans HaiLan. It is why i love her for all of it.

[@empresseseternelles]

I think there were a lot of other examples of true love. Ruyi and Ling Yunche's platonic love, Suoxin's love and loyalty for Ruyi, love for one's child, etc.

[@xiaoheiloh2252]

@@empresseseternelles True, Ling's love for Ruyi was that he was willing to die for her. Suoxin was willing to go through hardships and stay by Ruyi's side with her in the cold palace. But Hailan's love, to me, is considered the most extreme because Hailan was literally willing to kill for Ruyi. But that is just me.

Hailan was one of my favourites in Legend of Ruyi! She had such an incredible story arc.

[@centurycountess4949]

Hailan is someone who inspires for sure. someone who was a victim for so long finally taking a stand and not allowing anyone to stomp her down ever again with a strong determination to take down the evil that hurt her and Ruyi no matter what the cost will be.

[@kawanchiraguna4381]

Hailan was a very very dimensional character. She slayed.

Hailan is a person who is a committed friend until death. Her unwavering intention is deliberate, purposeful, accomplish, and achieved to fulfill her promise to make sure the culprits are exposed and their evil deeds are rendezvoused with death. Hailan is that woman. Booyah!!!!!!

Loved this fanvid!! Apart from Ruyi, Hailan is my favorite character in this story, she just has the greatest growth!!! And she did it all to protect her loved ones, namely Ruyi and Yongqi, everyone else can fuck off!

[@singsongeric]

Beautifully edited, wow!! Hailan's story should be an epic in its own right. She was the driving force of the entire plot while Ruyi mostly sat idle. When you're trying to survive in the harem you can't always take the high road and that was Ruyi's demise in the end.

[@yvettemarshallTWN]

What in the actual hell! I got goosebumps the entire vid! Dramatic score! Quiet and meek are the deadly ones. Wow, how she held a grudge and went in on her enemies (even a kid. Chile, I'm scared). Fiercely loyal. Willing to give her life (drank poison while pregnant!) or take one (Yunche, Ruyi soulmate). Also, little mousey girl dolled up nicely. War paint. Emperor provided glam squad and Hailan made great use of them. Blossomed. Ask the other women in the harem.

[@angelicamariegonzales]

She could have been the Empress Dowager and best character development ever

Aww! So happy I found your chanel. Harem galore with English subs! 👍 for banana like me. I can speak and curse like a sailor but can't read and write and prefer watching Chinese dramas with subtitles out of habit 😂 To me, Hailan devotion towards Ruyi is borderline scary at the end when Ruyi wants to finally move on and forgive and forget but Hailan's involvement in Ling Yunche's death broke Ruyi in a way that the 2 of them didn't expected... the grew apart. Each time when the now more gungho Hailan wants to move forward, the more Ruyi retreated into her shell... it was so sad to watch.

In the drama, probably yes. It’s hard to know in real history as yanwan was an imperial noble consort who was posthumously promoted to empress - she likely took control until her death or smth

In history, the Qianlong Emperor did not take another empress after his 2nd empress passed away. However, Lady Wei was posthumously elevated to empress after her son became the next emperor.
