Baozhi Doran

Baozhi Doran is the wife of Meirong Doran and a prominent member of the Doran clan. She was the second member of Meirong's harem.

Appearance
Baozhi is extremely beautiful, with long, thick black hair and large black eyes. While on the Doran compound, she wears her hair up, using various floral hairpins. She usually wears hanfu, although she occasionally wears qipao.

While outside the compound, she wears her hair in a bun and a button-up white shirt and a skirt. While working outside the compound, she wears a button-up white shirt, slacks, and a long, black, wool jacket.

Personality
Baozhi is headstrong and unafraid to speak her mind even if by doing so she upsets Meirong. She tends to view things as very black-and-white, viewing everything as good or bad.

Meirong values her opinion greatly as she's able to provide a more objective perspective.

Baozhi also enjoys teasing her fellow harem members, especially Chikao, who she views as weak. Despite this, she does care for him, but believes he is unfit to be a ranking Doran Clan member and urges him to leave the clan due to his gentle nature.

History
Baozhi was born to Taizong Yin, who was one of the highest-ranked Fifth Wife descendants. She and her father did not get along, as he openly valued her brothers more than her and felt she was a "bad woman" because she was not submissive or docile.

Because her father didn't support her training, Baozhi would frequently practice in secret, where she met Meirong Doran. She didn't recognize the princess so she didn't treat her any differently, which Meirong liked. They quickly developed feelings for one another. Meirong eventually told Baozhi who she was and confessed her feelings, formally inviting Meirong to her harem. At the time, Meirong was married to Bojing and Quan.

Although they were two women, both Taizong Yin and Jianyu Doran were pleased with their arrangement. Taizong always wanted his daughter to marry into the royal family while Jianyu thought Baozhi was a much better representative for their family than Quan or Bojing.
