Leng Qingqiu

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Leng Qingqiu is the controlling shareholder and president of Lanzi Group, personally holding 67% of its shares. She built the company over years and treats its survival as her foremost priority. When competitors suppress the company, research products stagnate, and its capital chain nears collapse, she pursues Lingxiao Capital's proposed investment without hesitation. 11 28

Her bond with her four younger sister figures originates in three years of shared childhood, during which they lived, ate, and slept together. After Xiao Tiance disappeared and Father Xiao and Mother Xiao died, the five girls were reclaimed by their respective families, but they continued meeting during holidays and whenever their schedules allowed. Leng Qingqiu's own parents later passed away, leaving her without blood relatives; she regards her younger sisters as her true family and emotional anchor. 182 214 393

Pei Yunxi assists Leng Qingqiu's early business development through her family's influence, helping with the company's location, permits, and qualifications without breaking laws or regulations. Her assistance substantially accelerates Lanzi Group's listing. After achieving success, Leng Qingqiu repays this support through financial assistance to Pei Yunxi and her family. 214

At the time, Xiao Chen serves as her bodyguard. His repeated advances and his insistence on calling her “Qingqiu” disgust her; she tolerates him only because of his combat ability. When he secretly follows her to an investment negotiation and disrupts it, she fires him and slaps him in anger. 14 17

She first meets Jiang Che at Yuexin Restaurant while negotiating Lingxiao Capital's investment. Initially impressed by his appearance, reputation, and apparent professionalism, she treats him with considerable respect and attempts to secure the deal through business etiquette. 15

Jiang Che later exploits Lanzi Group's financial crisis, making a relationship with him a condition for investment. Leng Qingqiu agrees to protect the company, but sets three conditions: his investment must be publicly disclosed, no other women may be by his side while he is with her, and she requires ten days to accept him fully. Her second condition does not require him to abandon relationships with other women. 28 30 100

After Jiang Che signs the contract and transfers ten billion to Lanzi Group, he gives her Marrow Cleansing and Youth Preserving Pills. Experiencing their effects firsthand—including improved appearance, restored vitality, and enhanced physical strength—she reassesses his intentions and her resentment toward him diminishes. 31 34

Recognizing the commercial potential of the Youth Preserving Pill's effects, Leng Qingqiu considers analyzing and mass-producing comparable products through Lanzi Group's cosmetics business. 45

She subsequently obtains Jiang Che's agreement to grant her agency rights for the pill-related products. Because the original pill requires scarce ingredients, the commercial plan centers on a diluted version; Jiang Che later promises Lanzi Group the first batch of Youth Preserving Powder when testing is complete. 45 107

Her affection deepens when Jiang Che recognizes that she is not yet ready for further intimacy and agrees to wait rather than pressure her that evening. The system explicitly records that she has fallen for him completely. Their relationship later becomes fully intimate, and she regards him as the man with whom she wants to spend her life. 46 60 103 106

Lanzi Group is later renamed Qing Tou Che Yan. The company receives Youth Preserving Powder and Revitalizing Cream from Tianchen Biopharmaceutical, and Leng Qingqiu oversees its development into a rapidly expanding cosmetics business. By this period, Jiang Che states that he holds a 60% stake in the company. 273 285 453

After discovering that Li Yanran has also entered a relationship with Jiang Che, Leng Qingqiu initially reacts with shock and displeasure. She ultimately chooses to accept the situation pragmatically, bringing Li Yanran into her side as a confidante and ally. 273 274

The company's rapid growth increases her workload enough that Jiang Che promises to send trusted professional managers to assist her. Its products later enter overseas markets, and Leng Qingqiu projects that its value could exceed one trillion. She credits Jiang Che's support for this success. 370 580

Leng Qingqiu also proposes establishing the Qingche Charity Foundation with three billion yuan from the group's profits. Jiang Che approves the proposal, and she plans to arrange the funding and invite him to the foundation's press conference. 468

She later leads Shen Wanzhi, Li Yanran, and Pei Yunxi to Cloud Top Manor to meet Jiang Che's parents. Although nervous, she introduces herself as his girlfriend and as Qing Tou Che Yan Group's director and executive president. Qin Mengxuan welcomes her warmly, praises the company's anti-aging powder, and seats her beside her. 779 780

As Jiang Che's household expands, Leng Qingqiu remains part of an established inner circle alongside Li Yanran, Pei Yunxi, and their associates; this circle is described as having the deepest foundation among the women around him. 890

Her later corporate plans include establishing branch headquarters in major cities. Li Yanran is assigned to inspect potential sites in the Imperial Capital as part of this expansion. 888

Appearance

Leng Qingqiu is a tall, graceful woman with a mature and capable bearing. Her usual professional style emphasizes her cold, authoritative image, while later descriptions note a more feminine and softened charm. 15 296

• Snow-white, refined complexion and delicate oval-faced features. 15
• Long black hair, often tied into a high bun while working. 126 296
• Tall, curvaceous figure with a slender waist and long legs. 15
• Frequently wears fitted business suits or suit skirts, stockings, and high heels. 15 99
• Uses gold-rimmed glasses while working to prevent myopia. 99
• The Marrow Cleansing and Youth Preserving Pills remove her dark circles, improve her skin, and further enhance her appearance and physique. 34
• Her later appearance is described as combining her cool, aloof bearing with the mature charm of a young married woman. 106 296 468
• Her private wardrobe includes school-style uniforms, Lolita dresses, nurse and flight-attendant costumes, and numerous styles of expensive stockings, selected to suit Jiang Che's preferences. 727

Personality

Leng Qingqiu is a disciplined workaholic whose career and company take priority over romance. She is meticulous with documents, values efficiency, and dislikes being disturbed while working. Her business acumen and decisive leadership allow her to retain absolute control of Lanzi Group before its restructuring. 11 28 99 296

Her public demeanor is cold, aloof, and imposing. She reacts sharply to inappropriate behavior, dismissing Xiao Chen for stalking and firing Lu Yi when he attempts to slander Jiang Che. 17 296

Despite this exterior, she is emotionally inexperienced at the beginning of her relationship with Jiang Che. She becomes affectionate, jealous, and protective of their relationship, though she remains proud and often expresses herself through sarcasm or teasing. 29 100 297

She also has a competitive streak. Even after becoming a martial artist, she remains determined to improve despite being outmatched by Jiang Che. 126

Although initially upset by Li Yanran's concealed relationship with Jiang Che, Leng Qingqiu is pragmatic in handling interpersonal conflicts. She chooses to forgive Li Yanran and turn their shared circumstances into an alliance rather than allow division between them. 273 274

Her pragmatism also extends to her family circle: after Jiang Che and Pei Yunxi become involved, she does not obstruct their relationship and favors keeping the people close to her united. 725

Accepting Jiang Che's other partners does not eliminate her desire for recognition and dedicated attention. She insists on being treated as the first wife within Imperial Scenery Dragon Bay, describes Jiang Che to Lu Shengyao as the sisters' shared husband, and reminds him of his promise to spend one day each week with her. 374 392 499

She is deeply protective of her younger sisters, providing substantial financial support and seeking martial instruction for Shen Wanzhi so that she can better defend herself. Her attachment is especially strong because she has no surviving blood relatives and regards the sisters as her family. 214 374 393

Her priorities gradually broaden beyond work to include domestic life and motherhood. She asks Jiang Che to have a child with her because she fears waiting too long, reluctantly accepts his request to wait two more years, and later regrets that she has not conceived his child. 197 580
