Background

Born into the Dongfang Family, one of Jianghai City's five great families, Wan grew up with considerable status and resources; at school, she was regarded as the family's “little princess.” 46 104 She nevertheless intended to establish her own standing through business rather than depend solely on family prestige. Before leaving university, she regularly visited Dongfang subsidiaries, observing their operations and accumulating practical experience. 108

She and her brother, Dongfang Lu, were taken hostage during the Star Dream incident. On an uninhabited island, Lu repeatedly protected her from the mercenaries, while Wan helped their escape attempt after freeing herself. Wild Ox recaptured and assaulted her before the black-cloaked Tulip intervened; Ye Lingjing subsequently brought Wan to safety and gave her clothing. 98 99 100

The ordeal left Wan deeply affected but also exposed her to the hidden world surrounding Tulip, Yanhuang Awakening, and Gu Jiaming. She later recognized that Jian Suyuan had been among the figures who rescued her during the Star Dream crisis. 133 177

Appearance

As a student, Wan is tall and graceful, with a composed manner that carries nobility and pride. At formal events, she is described as striking and charismatic, including in a black flat cap that made her stand out in the banquet hall. 114 282

• Often presents herself in polished, mature clothing when conducting business, including women's suits and formal dresses. 181 189
• Her later style emphasizes understated elegance: tied-back hair, gemstone earrings, high heels, and carefully selected professional attire. 516
• In adulthood, her reserved confidence and distinctive beauty are noted as making her seem unapproachable to many prospective suitors. 412 479

Personality

Wan is assertive, ambitious, and intensely principled. She values order, teamwork, responsibility, and self-reliance, which initially puts her in frequent conflict with Gu Jiaming's detached attitude and habitual disregard for rules. As class monitor, she takes even minor issues—such as club participation and classroom discipline—seriously. 104 131

Her confidence is paired with a strong protective instinct. She steps forward to defend Xu Yiting against gang members, continues helping Xu through recovery and employment, and confronts others when they mistreat her friends. 108 180 327 Although outwardly forceful, she can become frightened in genuine danger and is frank about those fears afterward. 290 371

Wan is competitive and dislikes relying on family power to resolve problems she believes she can overcome herself. Lei Qing's interference with her factory particularly frustrates her because it turns her independent work into an extension of a wealthy family's courtship game. 288 Her persistence, discipline, and willingness to shoulder responsibility eventually make her a formidable executive in her own right. 536 539

Story Role / Major Arcs

Star Dream Incident

Wan and Dongfang Lu are held hostage by mercenaries after the Star Dream operation fails. Lu protects her from Wild Ox, but their escape attempt collapses; Tulip kills the mercenaries surrounding them, while Lingjing escorts Wan away from the aftermath. 98 99 During the subsequent storm, Jiaming rescues Wan from another injured mercenary, further complicating her perception of him. 101 177

Class Monitor and Jiaming's Rival

At Sacred Heart Academy, Wan repeatedly clashes with Jiaming over his truancy, refusal to join class activities, and antisocial behavior. She believes social responsibility and teamwork can change him, while Jiaming treats her efforts with annoyance and amusement. 104 107 131

Her curiosity intensifies after witnessing Jiaming's computer skill, Jian Suyuan's fighting ability, and Yanhuang Awakening's suspicions surrounding Tulip. She resolves to befriend Jiaming in order to determine what he is concealing. 108 132 133

Founding the Toy Factory

Wan proposes patenting Jiaming's inventions and establishes a model and toy manufacturing company, with Jiaming serving as a designer and partner. 179 She invests heavily in equipment and renovation, determined to prove that the venture can succeed through her own effort. 181

Encounters with the Dark World

Despite these revelations, she remains connected to Jiaming through business, friendship, and personal attachment rather than withdrawing from him entirely. 493 516 517
