He may be a Saber, but he was summoned together with a horse.

He was known to wear a mask during battle because of his beauty. There are two theories on why he hid his face: The first was that he was afraid that his army would be enthralled by his beauty, demoralizing them. The second was that he was afraid the enemy would scorn him. Whatever the reason, his beauty was well-known throughout the land, and many legends were born from it.

Prince of Lan Ling was the fourth son of Gao Cheng (Emperor Wenxiang), a member of the imperial family. His mother Xun was a lady in waiting, and it was prophesized that she was destined to have a son of surpassing beauty. She then gave birth to Gao Changgong...or as we know him, Prince of Lan Ling.

The Heroic Masked One, Prince of Ling with the Beautiful Face and Voice.

A song said to have been created by the soldiers who praised the gallant battles fought by the masked Prince of Lan Ling.

The music piece traveled to Japan as imperial court music during the Tang dynasty. It is performed even to this day.

This composition, praising his bravery and beauty, rouses the morale of allies while causing enemies to shrink away.

Additionally, Prince of Lan Ling was lauded to have both a beautiful voice and face, so he himself inflicts immense pressure and a kind of beautiful terror that the enemy cannot take their eyes from.

Prince of Lan Ling was not only blessed with incredible good looks, but also courage to match. One record in particular mentions that he led an army of five hundred in breaking through an enemy force of over ten thousand successfully gaining entry into a castle. (This story later became the inspiration for the famous song, "Prince Lan Ling in Battle")

But true to the proverb "a nail that sticks out gets hammered down," Prince of Lan Ling's notoriety led those who did not think well of him to make false charges against him, which ultimately led the emperor to have a cup of poisoned wine sent to him.

Upon learning of this, Prince of Lan Ling voiced his lament:

"I have demonstrated my utmost loyalty. I have done nothing shameful under the eyes of heaven...so why must I drink this poison?"

Soon after Prince of Lan Ling's death, Northern Qi lost all military dominance and was destroyed.
