Background
Ning Rongrong is the eldest daughter of Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Her family is among the Upper Three Sects, possesses enormous commercial wealth, and is protected by Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong. Though admired for her talent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's traditional cultivation limit leaves the sect dependent on finding a successor capable of preserving its status. 44 46 121
She initially enters Shrek Academy, where her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda immediately identifies her as a direct disciple of the sect. During the Zhao Wuji assessment, she supports the group by amplifying strength and speed. 30
At Shrek, Ning Rongrong grows interested in Xiao Ze after tasting his rice and learning that his crops can improve Soul Power. She quickly recognizes their strategic value, accepts crops for herself and Zhu Zhuqing, and later urges Ning Fengzhi to establish a long-term trade with Xiao Ze. 33 58
She clashes openly with Flender over Shrek's training methods, arguing that support-type Soul Masters require appropriate safeguards such as medicinal baths. When pressured, she reveals her status and threatens retaliation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She subsequently leaves Shrek with Xiao Ze and Zhu Zhuqing for Heaven Dou Royal Academy. 35 44
At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ning Rongrong uses her influence to secure admission for Xiao Ze and Zhu Zhuqing. She becomes increasingly committed to Xiao Ze, proposing marriage early in their acquaintance and later formally becoming his girlfriend. Their relationship deepens through mutual support, their first kiss, and her eventual introduction as Xiao Ze's first wife. 45 46 81 113 230
After Xiao Ze helps evolve her Martial Soul, Ning Rongrong returns to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and earns Ning Fengzhi's confidence as its future leader. She is entrusted with the sect's Inheritance Soul Bones and declares her intention to become Sect Master once her pagoda reaches nine treasures. 119 123
Appearance
Ning Rongrong is about 1.65 meters tall, with a slender waist, long legs, and an aristocratic, elegant bearing that distinguishes her from her peers. 29
- Long black hair that later grows to her waist. 118
- Fair, translucent skin and lively eyes that curve into crescents when she smiles. 118
- Favours princess-like clothing, glazed crowns, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda-themed accessories. 118 131
- Keeps a pink, princess-styled room and sleeps with a Nine Treasure Glazed unicorn plush gifted by Xiao Ze. 105
Personality
Ning Rongrong is outspoken, sharp-minded, and unwilling to submit to authority she considers incompetent. Her confrontation with Flender reflects both her knowledge of support-type cultivation and her refusal to accept training that risks lasting injury. 35
Despite her “Little Witch” reputation, she states that she only disciplined nobles who had mistreated others and avoids bullying people without cause. She is conscious of her status and its political consequences, rather than acting recklessly for its own sake. 45
She is playful, impulsive, and competitive. Her first attempt at cooking produces an inedible meal, and her alchemy attempt ends in an explosion; nevertheless, she remains determined to improve. 65 78
As Xiao Ze's relationship group grows, Ning Rongrong develops into a protective and decisive leader. She is initially jealous of other women around him, but repeatedly chooses to accept them when she believes they can support Xiao Ze. She ultimately places his interests ahead of her sect's resources and reputation. 113 123 237
