Background / History
Li Ruo Bai is the daughter of Li Yun Feng and grew up in exceptional wealth. Her privileged upbringing allowed her to pursue subjects selectively: some of her studies had reached university-graduation level while others remained basic. She openly acknowledged that this freedom came from her material circumstances. 121 176
She was abducted or harassed at a bar before Jiang Yan Hai and Li Er Niu intervened. Jiang shielded her and helped incapacitate the group, ending the immediate danger. Seeing him act, Li Ruo Bai became infatuated with him and later resolved to pursue him. 119 121
To thank the police and improve Jiang Yan Hai's working conditions indirectly, she donated 300 military-grade Land Rover Defenders worth 300 million RMB, then pledged further high-quality police supplies. Although Director Wen could not provide Jiang's contact information, he told her his name; Li Ruo Bai was satisfied that any equipment distributed to the force would also benefit him. 121 122
Her pursuit gradually became a committed relationship. She accepted the danger and long absences inherent to Jiang's military work, arguing that she could protect their home while he protected the country. Jiang later publicly introduced her as his girlfriend, and the couple eventually married with her parents' approval. 350 848 972 1166
Motivated in part by Jiang's work, Li Ruo Bai chose to study aircraft design and pursue research rather than remain detached from his world. She became involved in materials and Phantom-related research, received a genuine technical-service Major rank, and accompanied Jiang into the Great Qin parallel world to continue contributing as a researcher. 370 800 1164 1347 1351
Appearance
Li Ruo Bai is consistently described as strikingly beautiful, with delicate features and a polished but adaptable sense of dress. Her appearance attracts attention even when she is dressed casually. 120 489 795
- Big eyes, a high nose bridge, fair skin, rosy lips, and slightly exotic-looking, three-dimensional features. 120
- Her natural appearance is described as nearly as beautiful as when she wears makeup. 178
- Initially wore heavy makeup, exaggerated earrings, multicolored dyed hair, and visible arm tattoos, giving police the impression of a delinquent despite her wealthy background. 120
- Has worn both custom-made high-end dresses and casual jeans with a white T-shirt. 230 489
- Often wears a white lab coat while working alongside Jiang Yan Hai on military research. 908
Personality
Li Ruo Bai is direct and determined in love. Rather than waiting for Jiang Yan Hai to approach her, she actively sought information about him, used her own resources to support his unit, and remained resolute despite concerns about their different backgrounds and his dangerous profession. 121 122 370
Though sensitive and initially inexperienced with many ordinary activities, she is curious, competitive, and willing to learn. Her attempt to present herself as a regular Korean-BBQ diner quickly revealed her inexperience, but she enthusiastically learned to grill food and enjoyed the outing. 231
She is deeply empathetic toward Jiang's responsibilities. Li Ruo Bai understands the sacrifices expected of military spouses, supports Jiang through long separations, and seeks ways to make herself useful rather than merely waiting for him. 350 661 1339 1345
Her affection is often playful and openly expressed around people she trusts. She teases Jiang, becomes embarrassed easily, and is notably more relaxed when bickering with Su Ya Xuan or spending time with close friends. 644 854 855 1338
