He Xinglan is Lu Chen's mother and a young lady from an aristocratic family. She is described as having a dancer's flexibility and agility even in middle age, as shown when she gracefully avoided Lu Weilin to take Lu Tuan. She is warm and affectionate towards her grandson, immediately taking him from the stroller with a beaming smile. She has a playful rivalry with her husband Lu Weilin over caring for Lu Tuan. She is artistic, having drawn designs for lion dance costumes after seeing Ji Miandeng's work, and made eight sets for Lu Tuan. She is eager to keep her son's family around, suggesting they stay for two more days. She is shown to be satisfied when she sees Lu Chen and Ji Miandeng displaying affection in front of her, teasing them lovingly.
