Background

Qin Yurong is a direct-line descendant of the Qin Family and the elder sister of Qin Yuwei and Qin Yuhui.

She carries a strong desire to protect her remaining family and clear her parents’ names. 121 123

She previously rescued He Xiang from being sold into a brothel, took her in as a personal maid, and arranged work for He Xiang’s father, He Zhong. He Xiang later betrayed her to the Benevolent Joy Heavenly Mother Sect. 97

Personality

Qin Yurong is quick-witted, dignified, and pragmatic. Following the Blood Ape Gang attack, she immediately directs the cleanup, informs her brother, manages the guards, and arranges protection for Yang Ning’s family rather than merely relying on others to act. 21

She is deeply devoted to her family and to Yang Ning. Her abduction forces her to confront memories of her parents’ deaths and her feelings for Yang Ning; after being rescued, she openly chooses a life with him over the status or display expected of a noble marriage. 121 125
