Zi Lan gave birth to three male wolves and one female wolf. The eldest son is called Heizai, the second son is called Lan Hun'er, the third son is double-haired, and the younger female wolf is Meimei.
In Shen Shixi's long animal novel "The Dream of the Wolf King", the female wolf Zi Lan initially gave birth to five cubs, 4 males and 1 female. However, one of the wolf cubs was robbed of life by the cold and survived. There are only three male wolves and one female wolf.
Zi Lan has always had a dream, hoping to raise her own offspring to become wolf kings. It first cultivated the eldest wolf, Hei Zi, and gave priority to Black cubs everywhere, ignoring the needs of other wolves, causing the youngest male wolf, Shuangmao, to develop the habit of inferiority. After Hei Zai was eaten by the old eagle, he began to train his second son, Lan Hun'er, to fulfill Zi Lan's long-cherished wish to become the wolf king. Unfortunately, Lan Hun'er's soul died in the animal trap.
In the end, he had no choice but to rebuild the kingly qualities for the timid and thin Shuangmao. Zi Lan did not hesitate to abuse Shuang Mao and was abused by Shuang Mao, but in the end she failed. The third son, Shuangmao, was just one step away from ascending to the throne of Wolf King, but the inferiority complex and timidity deep in Shuangmao's heart cost him his life.
In Wolf Son, the dream of the wolf king was not realized, so Zi Lan placed her hope on the next generation. The four girls Meimei mated with Karulu and became pregnant with wolf cubs. Eaten by the golden eagle, Zi Lan finally died together with the golden eagle.
