妫览 / Gui Lan (late Han)

Overview

妫览 / Gui Lan is one of the Danyang conspirators in Hanji 1067. The source transcript writes his name as 归岚; the wiki normalizes the event to Gui Lan / 妫览 while preserving that spelling as source-scoped evidence.

Current Profile

Gui Lan is presented as a local Danyang powerholder who joins 戴员 in buying off 边鸿 to kill 孙翊. After the murder, Gui Lan and Dai Yuan explain the killing as Bian Hong’s madness, then kill 孙河 when he comes to investigate.

Gui Lan’s downfall comes from the same appetite he tries to convert into power. He moves into Sun Yi’s residence, demands 徐夫人 as wife, and accepts her request to wait until the mourning rite. After her staged grief and marriage-ready performance convince his observers, he enters her room and is killed by 孙高 and 傅婴.

Key Characteristics

• Acts with Dai Yuan as a Danyang conspirator against Sun-family authority.
• Uses an intimate killer and a madness cover story rather than open challenge at first.
• Escalates the event by killing Sun He after Sun Yi’s death.
• Attempts to convert occupation of Sun Yi’s residence into sexual and household domination over Lady Xu.
• Becomes vulnerable because desire and apparent compliance override suspicion.

Evidence

Conspiracy against Sun Yi

• Hanji 1067 names Gui Lan and Dai Yuan as the plotters who buy off Bian Hong and then blame the assassination on madness.

Escalation after the murder

• Hanji 1067 says Sun He also dies at their hands after he comes to check the matter.

Desire-driven exposure

• Hanji 1067 has Gui Lan demand Lady Xu and then believe her staged readiness for remarriage, making possible the room ambush.

Qualifications

This page is source-scoped to the Hanji 1067 Danyang episode. The transcript’s 归岚 spelling is treated as a variant; the page does not yet develop Gui Lan beyond the assassination, occupation, forced-marriage demand, and death.
