The quick answer
In Online Mode, meet Han Yanluo on the boat near Kaifeng’s Fairgrounds and accept the initiation. Perform music or a dance from Emotes → Talents, receive a performance Like from another player, stop the performance and return to Han Yanluo to join.

Accept the standard initiation
Reach level 10 and unlock access to Kaifeng. Travel to Fairgrounds and search the water west of the central temple for Han Yanluo’s small boat. Speak to her, then speak again and choose the response agreeing to take part.
Use Online Mode for this quest. You need an audience of actual players, so a solo performance for nearby NPCs will not fulfil the social interaction.
Get the correct Like
- Open Emotes and select Talents.
- Choose an instrument or Dance Now. A busy location such as Petalfall Crossing makes it easier to find an audience.
- Have another player Like the active performance. Check the initiation objective, rather than relying on your profile’s lifetime Like total.
- Stop playing or dancing before checking the quest again.
- Return to Han Yanluo and complete the acceptance conversation.
The standard Global route uses a performance Like. Older routes can show a different count, so if your active objective explicitly requests more, satisfy the counter on that quest. The stage must end before an instrument performance reliably hands progress back to the quest.
If the objective stays incomplete
| What you see | What to check |
|---|---|
| Likes increase, initiation does not | Confirm the Like was on your live performance, then stop the performance. |
| No other players nearby | Check Online Mode and move to a populated public area. |
| Initiation complete, no membership | Return to Han Yanluo and check whether another sect is active. |
| An old guide mentions Show of Splendor | That invitation was tied to an event. Use Han Yanluo’s standard route when that event is absent. |
Read the persona rules after joining
Choose a stage name and review the Performer or Virtuoso interface. Promotion includes class popularity, while your own weekly Performer Popularity is a separate obligation. Our suggestion is to complete one available performance task and confirm which counter it raises before planning the week.
The troupe’s online rules cover public begging, dress and romantic displays. An existing partnership is different from performing prohibited couple actions after joining. Read the active precepts before using those social interactions; the troupe has obligations even though its initiation contains no boss fight.

Common questions
Do NPCs count as the audience for the joining Like?
Use another player in Online Mode; this is a social performance objective.
Why did a Like not finish the quest while I was playing?
Stop the performance first, then inspect the initiation counter and return to Han Yanluo.
