Background / History

An Ruobing is the eldest daughter of the An family of Modu. Despite displaying exceptional business talent from a young age, she was subject to the family’s arranged-marriage plans because she was a woman. To secure control over her love life, she made a five-year wager with An family patriarch An Langtian: if the company she founded reached a market value equal to 50% of An Group’s, she would be free to choose her partner. By the fourth year, Anlan led Xia Country’s cosmetics industry but still lacked high-end recognition against foreign-brand dominance. 232

Her intended match was Xiao Long, a main-line member of the Imperial Capital’s Xiao family. An Ruobing rejected him due to his arrogance and possessiveness; Xiao Long had previously intimidated or ruined men who posed as her boyfriends and covertly obstructed Anlan’s growth. 232 243 244

She met Xiao Bei after discovering that they were neighbors at Tomson Riviera. Recognizing him and his potential as an investor, she invited him on a morning run and proposed financing for Anlan in exchange for raising the brand’s public profile. Initially, she intended to use him as a shield against Xiao Long and as leverage in her family wager. 232 234

After Xiao Bei uncovered her intentions, An Ruobing openly acknowledged using him. They agreed to maintain a public fake relationship while he invested in and advised Anlan; she publicly held his hand and had him drive her Porsche 911 to make the relationship convincing to Xiao Long’s observers. 235 236

An Ruobing and Xiao Bei later signed their partnership agreement. During the Z City floods, she accepted his proposal to turn Anlan’s disaster-relief efforts into a public-relations opportunity; the company donated 30 million yuan and rose on hot searches. 247 273 While An Ruobing was confined by her family, she granted Xiao Bei full authority over Anlan, allowing him to identify and remove more than ten R&D personnel planted by Xiao Long. Anlan’s valuation subsequently surged enough to fulfill the terms of her wager with An Langtian. 274 276

When An Ruobing refused to marry Xiao Long, An Langtian placed her under effective house arrest and removed her father from his chairmanship. She continued to defy both Xiao Long and her grandfather, eventually publicly declaring that she had a new relationship. 272 284 Xiao Bei resolved the family struggle by forcing An Langtian to transfer all An Corporation shares to An Ruobing and remove her uncles from management. 302

By the finale, An Ruobing had founded Xiao Bing Skincare Group, establishing a top-tier domestic cosmetics brand, then entered luxury goods by combining traditional Xia Country craftsmanship with fashion. Her later achievements earned her the description of a “fashion godmother.” 741

Personality

An Ruobing is independent, composed, and highly self-directed.

Even when Xiao Bei exposed her original plan, she did not deny it or retreat, instead directly asking whether he would help her. 232 234

She initially viewed Xiao Bei as a potentially controllable, profit-driven investor, but gradually recognized that his influence surpassed her expectations. Her attitude shifts from guarded calculation to trust, affection, and open concern for his safety. 235 238 259 267
